“Eva, let me tell you something between us. Don’t get innocent people involved,” Bastian said impatiently.
“She’s an innocent person. Why would Susie be innocent? If she hadn’t tricked you with some underhanded means, you would’ve married me long ago. Now that my happy life has been ruined by Susie, why are you still telling me that she’s innocent?” Eva yelled hysterically as he grabbed the phone.
Bastian looked at Eva and was even more certain that Susie was in Eva’s hands. “Where exactly is Susie?”
“Yes, Susie is in my hands. If you want to save her, come to the second pier and I’ll wait for you in the warehouse over there.” Eva said desperately and then hung up the phone.
Looking at Susie, Eva said viciously, “There will be a good show to be put on later. I’ll let you off this time. Susie, just watch!”
Susie looked at Eva and felt that this woman was stupid and vicious. Even if she did so, what could she do? Bastian would not return to her side. In the end, he would bring harm upon himself.
After Bastian called Liam and told him the address, they rushed there together.
When Liam rushed over and saw Bastian there, she couldn’t help stretching out her fist and finally stopped.
It was not the time to act on impulse. Even if he beat Bastian up, what could he do? “I’ll get even with you after Susie is saved!” Liam said with an unkind look.
Bastian didn’t dodge. After all, it was him who caused this. It was reasonable for Liam to be angry, but he didn’t expect that Liam’s fist didn’t hit him in the end.
There were many warehouses at the dock, and Bastian was not sure which warehouse Susie was in.
Just as the two of them were about to search separately, Eva led Susie and a few helpers out of a warehouse nearby.
“Susie!” They shouted at the same time.
Susie’s mouth was covered by a black tape, and she could only make a whimpering sound.
Liam looked at Susie’s red and swollen cheeks, which were covered with a clear palm print. Fortunately, there were blood beads on the other side, which didn’t look like a serious disease. It must be Eva’s work. Liam wanted to strangle her.
“Eva, how dare you hurt Susie?” Liam questioned before Bastian could speak.
“Why wouldn’t I dare? Since Susie dared to steal my boyfriend, then she should be prepared to be beaten up. She’s still a junior,” Eva said. Why had all the good men been taken by Susie? Bastian was like this, and so was Liam.
“I’ve already told you about Eva. I broke up with you not because of Susie. Why don’t you believe me? There’s nothing between Susie and me.” Bastian tried to explain again.
“Heh.” Eva scoffed. “You don’t have to explain anymore. It’s useless no matter what you say. Didn’t you just want me to let Susie go like that? You even said that you don’t like her. If you don’t like her, why did you come here?”
Liam was almost amused by Eva’s logic. “Eva, are you going to let her go or not?” Liam’s expression was so ugly that it looked like she was going to kill someone.
“So what if I don’t let you go?” Eva was not frightened. She ordered someone to slowly bring Susie to the pier. “You’d better not scare me. Otherwise, if I’m accidentally frightened, I might push Susie into the sea with a shake of my hand.”
Eva really pushed Susie as he spoke. Susie stumbled and almost fell down, but she was pulled back immediately.
Looking at such a dangerous scene, Liam and Bastian’s hearts were in their mouths.
“You…” Liam immediately wanted to rush up, but she was afraid that Eva would really push Susie into the sea as she had said.
A picture quickly flashed through Liam’s mind. It seemed that another woman was holding another woman hostage. The scene in front of him seemed to be gradually matching with the scene in his mind.
Liam shook his head and eliminated the distracting thoughts. Now Susie was in danger. If something happened to Susie because of his carelessness, he would feel guilty for the rest of his life.
“Let’s have a good talk about Eva. Let Susie go first. Let’s talk slowly. I hope you won’t do anything stupid,” Bastian said gently, trying to appease Eva.
Looking at Bastian’s gentle expression, Eva was a little dazed. Bastian had never been kind to her since the incident last time. Eva couldn’t remember when Bastian had been gentle to her the last time.
Bastian noticed that Eva seemed to have heard him a little. He continued, “Eva, you’re a good girl. Don’t do anything so dangerous. Susie and the others are also here. Let’s find a place to sit down and make things clear calmly.”
Bastian slowly walked forward as he spoke, attempting to slowly get close to Eva and the others.
Eva seemed to have discovered Bastian’s motive when she heard Susie’s name. She shouted, “Don’t come over! Bastian, tell me, do we still have a chance to reunite?”
Bastian was a little hesitant. If he refused at this moment, he was afraid that Eva would do harm to Susie. After thinking about it for a while, he suppressed his dislike for Eva and said against his heart, “Yes, we can start over, Eva.”
If Eva had heard this before today, she would have been overjoyed. However, she had never been as sober as she was today. Eva knew that this was Bastian’s delaying tactic and that Bastian had said this to save Susie.
She was both happy and painful, and she hated Susie even more.
“Bastian, Bastian, I didn’t expect you to lie to me at this time! You won’t be with me at all. You said so much just to save Susie!”
Eva was instantly enraged. He was very agitated. “You were able to do this for Susie. Do you think you can lie to me? Why are you lying to me? Why!” Eva cried and laughed.
“What’s so good about Susie? In order to save her, you have asked your enemy to help you. Are you that great? Since you are so great, why don’t you share a little love with me? Is it so difficult for you to fall in love with me?”
Seeing Eva like this, Liam couldn’t help but scream in her heart, “Oh no!” Bastian really couldn’t do anything. He didn’t get in touch with Eva, which made Eva more vigilant.
Liam looked at Susie, who was next to her, and her eyes were very worried. The situation was not optimistic now. Eva could easily vent his anger on Susie and do something extremely unfavorable to her.
Susie seemed to have noticed Liam’s concerned gaze. “Liam must be very anxious.” Susie thought. She raised her head and gave Liam a look.
Susie’s mouth was tied with tape and she remained silent, but her hands were not idle. When she was tied to the ground in the warehouse, she unconsciously found a small iron piece in her hand. Then she held it tightly in her hand, but no one saw it.
Although the rope was tied tightly and her hands were tied upside down, her wrists could still move. In addition, her hands were struggling hard. Although the rope was red and the skin was torn, the rope on her hands loosened a little, so the range of her movement was large.
When Eva and the others were not paying attention, she would grind the rope with a small piece of iron. Eva was focused on venting his anger on her and would not pay attention to her little tricks.
Susie could already feel that the rope had been loosened by her, but it was still a little short.
“Eva, I didn’t. Don’t be so excited. Please believe me, okay?” Bastian continued.
“I don’t believe it! You’ve never loved me! The only person you love is Susie!” Eva yelled like she had gone mad. She looked at Irene with an incomparably vicious gaze.
Eva suddenly thought of something and walked up to Susie.
“Eva, what are you doing!” Liam thought that Eva was going to do something bad to Susie and wanted to stop him.
Eva tore off the black tape tied to Susie’s mouth. He tore it too fast and the tape had been pasted for a long time. Susie’s mouth turned red.
“Susie, look at how deeply Bastian loves you. He didn’t hesitate to lie to me and tried to save you. Then tell me if you didn’t have your boyfriend, would you be with Bastian?”
Bastian suddenly heard Eva’s question and did not know what he was looking forward to. If Liam had not appeared, would Susie still have the chance to be with him?
Eva glanced at Bastian and seemed to know what he was thinking. Susie didn’t know what Eva meant. “It’s impossible for Bastian and I to break up ever since.” Susie spoke slowly.
“Did you hear that? Bastian, did you hear what she just said? It’s impossible for you to know that. Did you still like her after she said that?” Eva laughed.
“I’m the one who likes you the most. I’m the only one who has fallen in love with you since the beginning. My feelings for you can be observed by heaven and earth, and it has never changed! I’m not like this Susie who has two thoughts! Why do you still like her? How can such a woman compare with me!”
Eva stared dazedly at Bastian as he expressed his feelings. She also stepped on Susie’s foot.
Bastian was a little disappointed. Although he had asked this question and Susie had answered him, he still had some expectations at this time. Maybe Susie’s answer would be different from the last time.
Seeing Bastian’s expression, Liam couldn’t wait to slap him to wake him up. She didn’t see that Eva was already like this. Did he show such an expression because he thought that Susie would die soon enough?
Even he could see it from the side, let alone Eva, who was a little crazy and sensitive. He could even hope that he could help Susie out. It seemed that it would be good if he didn’t drag her down.
