He studied his surroundings and noticed that he was in an abandoned warehouse.
Carl was extremely anxious as he tried to shout for help. However, all he heard was his own echo that resounded within the warehouse.
He instantly gave up as he knew no one would come to his rescue at a deserted place like this.
Carl did not care about life and death after experiencing the previous incident.
Hence, he stopped shouting and waited in silence for the mysterious kidnaper to appear.
At this moment, he noticed someone lying beside him. He looked at the person closely and was stunned.
“Gabriella?” Carl murmured to himself.
He was in the dark as to what the kidnappers wanted to do with him.
Moments later, Gabriella slowly gained consciousness as she opened her eyes. She was equally stunned when her eyes fell upon Carl.
Something clicked in her mind as she said angrily, “How dare you tried to kidnap me, Carl! Do you have a death wish? And to think I was worried about you!”
Gabriella was very displeased. We are in the same boat. Yet, I can’t believe that you kidnapped me.
“Excuse me? Could you take a better look around?” Carl answered. “I was kidnapped too.”
Gabriella looked at him and the surroundings suspiciously and realized they were both tied up.
“This place,” she said as she continued to study the area.
“Why’s it so familiar?”
“Of course it was. It was the place where you kept Joan after you kidnapped her.” A voice said as three muscular men appeared.
“Who’re you?” Gabriella asked in surprise as the men continued walking towards her.
Gabriella shuddered in fear when she heard those words.
“What do you want? Why’d you bring me here?”
The leader among the trio smiled coldly and he stared at her and said, “Have you forgotten what you have done to Joan? My plan’s simple. I would like to finish what you didn’t back then.”
The leader eyed Gabriella from top to bottom when he said those words. She shivered in fear when she caught sight of his stare.
Gabriella instantly understood the purpose of these men and who sent them.
“You guys- Were you sent by Larry?”
She panicked as she was reminded of the things she had done to Joan.
“I’d advise you not to mess with me. I’m the daughter of the Ward family. I’ll put you in jail if you lay a finger on me!”
If they fed me the drug like how I did to Joan, then…
“Ms. Gabriella, I have to say, I didn’t think you’d be so naive. You don’t even know who we are. Even if you do, what can you possibly do? Do you have any proof? Well, don’t worry about that. We won’t leave a trace! Haha!”
The leader laughed triumphantly as his eyes were burned with vengefulness.
“No! Please, I beg of you! Don’t do this!” Tears streamed down Gabriella’s cheeks as she pleaded in fear.
“Let me go! Please! I can pay you as long as you let me go! Just name the price!”
“Money? Are you trying to bribe us as you did with the assassins?”
“Well, sorry to disappoint but we’re not in this for the money.” The leader let out a cold laugh.
“How’d you know I was responsible for that?”
How did they know that I paid for the assassins? I didn’t involve myself in any of the plans after.
“As the saying does, the day has eyes, the night has ears. What’s done by night appears by day. Hence, you should have given it a second thought before you did all those nasty deeds. You deserved this, Ms. William.”
The trio smiled in satisfaction as the vicious woman in front of them would be punished very soon.
“Well, what goes around comes around! Let’s do this, boys!” he ordered.
