Chapter 1884 Nancy Is In Trouble
“I wonder if your mom reacted the same way when she found out she was pregnant with you…” Joan said with a playful chuckle.
She and Nancy were so comfortable with each other that they were okay with poking fun at each other like that.
“Oh, shut up! Look, just come see me tomorrow, okay? Honestly, why did you even go back to that village anyway? What’s so great about that place? Life is so much more convenient here in the city!” Nancy grumbled.
Had it not been for Jory getting in the way, I would’ve stopped Joan from going back to the village the moment I found out about it!
“There’s something very precious to me here,” Joan replied.
Thanks to her wealthy family background, Nancy had gotten used to life in the city since she was a kid and had never once been to a village. As such, she had no idea what life was like in the countryside.
“Ah!” Nancy was heard screaming, and what came next was the sound of the phone falling to the floor.
“Nancy? Nancy!” Joan called out to her repeatedly, but there was no response.
Something must’ve happened to her!
With that in mind, Joan quickly scrolled through her list of contacts and gave Jory a call.
“Jory, I think Nancy is in trouble!”
Jory hung up on her immediately and began making a phone call as he ran out of the office.
“Hello? I want you to track Nancy’s phone right now!” Jory shouted, his voice filled with panic and frustration as he punched the steering wheel with all of his might.
“Larry, I think something’s happened to Nancy! Come on, we have to hurry!” Joan tugged on his arm anxiously.
Larry had a concerned look on his face when he saw how dark it was outside.
“You stay here, Joan. I’ll go alone.”
“No, I’m going with you!” Joan said determinedly.
Knowing how stubborn she was, Larry knew there was no talking her out of it. The two of them left in a hurry after saying goodbye to Delilah and Lucius. Joan kept calling Nancy along the way, but there was no answer.
Larry felt his heart ache when he saw the tears trickling down her face and held her hand tightly as he reassured her, “Don’t worry, Joan. Nancy’s a smart girl, so I’m sure she’ll be fine.”
He then handed her his phone and said, “Here, give Caspian a call.”
Joan quickly took the phone over and dialed Caspian’s number.
“What? Nancy’s gone missing? Okay, I’ll start searching for her right away!” Caspian sprung to his feet immediately after hanging up the phone.
Damn it, Jory! You can’t even protect your own woman?
There was an ice-cold and vicious look in his eyes as he punched the wall next to him.
Meanwhile, Nancy was tied to a pole in a dark and cold warehouse, still unconscious from the hit to her head earlier.
After what seemed like an eternity, she slowly opened her eyes and glanced about in an attempt to assess her surroundings. Despite the place being completely pitch-black, she could clearly tell that she wasn’t at home.
“Hello? Is anyone there? Help me, please!” Nancy tried standing up, only to realize that both her arms and legs were completely immobile.
“Shut up! There’s no point in screaming since there’s nobody around to hear you anyway!” A man’s voice rang in her ears all of a sudden.
Nancy pricked her ears and paid close attention to the man’s voice as she asked, “Who are you?”
“That’s none of your business! Hmm… So, this is the legendary Nancy Barrymore, eh? Quite a feisty one, aren’t you?”
Nancy felt a shiver down her spine when she heard the man walking toward her.
“Turn on the lights and show yourself, you coward!” Nancy shouted while struggling against her ropes.
Snap!
The lights were switched on, and Nancy was able to see the face of her kidnapper.
However, she was unable to recognize him and had no idea who he was.
