Keira’s previous life was only five years, but there are already too many people occupying an important place in her heart, and her feelings and attachments to her father are not enough to make her give up those people, or even far enough.
Alex Brown looks at her quietly, now snatching his daughter back, he is not qualified at the same time, only to fear that he will take away his daughter’s happiness as well.
Just as Keira thought Alex Brown would not agree and was about to continue, Alex Brown pressed her into his arms.
“Okay, Daddy’s letting you go back.”
Outside the old Wright Family home, in the same spot, Emma Rosy was again stopped by Paul Johnson.
They had worked together last time, so Emma Rosy didn’t get defensive, and after pulling over to the side of the road, got out and talked to him.
“Have you approached Alex Brown? What did he say?” It had been a while, but Paul Johnson was still a mess, with a green stubble around his mouth and two bruises under his eyes.
It seems that he really has a deep love for Marisa Miller, he has been in this situation, but he still wants to find her.
Emma Rosy is not as anxious as he is, but also can not relax, said in a deep voice: “He does not agree to cooperate, half of the information refused to reveal, I think we still …”
“What do you mean you won’t disclose?
Before she finished, Paul Johnson was already furious, his beady eyes were fierce, and he asked through clenched teeth, “Is he not talking, or are you not asking at all!”
Emma Rosy suddenly regretted her rash move to get out of the car, and took a few unnoticed steps back, ready to run and shout, and assured with a sincere face: “I did ask, and had a big fight with him over it, as the company secretary can testify. And I don’t have to lie to you, do I?”
Having experienced too much life, death and despair, Paul Johnson had long lost the ability to trust others, and Emma Rosy’s failure to accomplish what he had expected was tantamount to betrayal in his eyes.
“Bitch, you’d better stop playing tricks! I’m not as good as I used to be, but it’s still as easy as squashing an ant to get someone killed.” After saying that, he looked viciously towards the old mansion.
Killing someone was easier than one might think.
As long as there is patience, as long as the determination to die, even if the Wright Family travels day in and day out with bodyguards, sooner or later, they will be found an opportunity to take advantage of.
Paul Johnson was paranoid and cruel, and Emma Rosy had no doubt that the slightest resistance would bring disaster to her family.
“What do you want, just say it.” She asked, resigned to her fate.
“Take me to Alex Brown.”
Brown Family Villa.
Emma Rosy stood outside the gate, her eyes averted slightly, and met the threatening gaze of Paul Johnson, hiding in the shade. The latter made a gesture of wiping her neck, warning her with a gesture to move faster.
The doorbell rang and Ivy Smith came out of the cottage.
“Why are you here again? Didn’t I make it clear last time that Alex and I would take care of Keira without you having to worry about it?”
Ivy Smith stood in the door with her chest clasped, her tone worse than her face.
There was no way to use Keira as a cover, so Emma Rosy said frankly, “I’m looking for Alex Brown, and it’s not about Keira. He didn’t answer his phone and the receptionist said he hadn’t been in the office for a few days, so I …”
“So you came to our house in spite of your status?” Ivy Smith answered, contemptuously, “He doesn’t want any contact with you at all anymore, don’t you get it?”
With Paul Johnson behind her back, this was no time to argue about children’s feelings, Emma Rosy nodded carelessly, “I know he hates me, but it’s really important right now, please let me in and I promise to leave as soon as I’m done!”
Alex Brown was in hospital and not in the villa at all. Ivy Smith was hiding it because she wanted to help him and for her own selfish reasons.
If Emma Rosy found out that he was sick and went to the hospital on the pretext of “urgent business”, they would have another chance to care for each other and break up their relationship.
With this in mind, Ivy Smith immediately said no, “No! You leave now and don’t make me call my bodyguard.”
Emma Rosy frowned, not understanding why Ivy Smith would reject her like this.
Although their relationship had not been cordial before, Ivy Smith had asked her to catch up with her some time ago, and even though they were both busy and couldn’t make it, it shouldn’t have turned out this way.
And Alex Brown is inside, Ivy Smith so more obstruction, not afraid of being blamed? She remembered that Alex Brown hated it when people made decisions for him.
Could it be that Alex Brown is not at home at all …
“Why did he stay away from the office for days on end, just to spend time with Keira?” Emma Rosy tried in a low voice.
When she seemed to notice the difference, Ivy Smith’s eyes flashed with panic, but it was short-lived, and she quickly became sarcastic: “My fiancé is not only with my daughter, but also with me, while avoiding the harassment of certain people, of course he is not available for work.
As the “someone”, Emma Rosy’s heart stung at these words, cursing herself for being nosy.
“Just so you’re there, let me go in and talk to Alex Brown, and I won’t show up again.” Quickly adjusting her emotions, she calmed down to negotiate a deal with Ivy Smith.
What she got in return was a sneer.
“Save it, I’ve seen your seduction skills too many times to give you another chance.” After that, Ivy Smith took out her phone and shook it: “Dial the phone, the bodyguard will appear within ten minutes, are you sure you don’t want to leave by yourself?”
Instead of seeing the person, she was humiliated. Looking at Ivy Smith’s distant figure, Emma Rosy turned her head despondently.
The place where Paul Johnson was standing was now empty. She looked around in confusion and finally walked back to the car parked on the side of the road.
There seemed to be a noise in the bushes on the right side of the road, and the hand that opened the door gave a start and walked slowly towards it.
“Paul Johnson, are you there?… Ah!”
After a short gasp, Paul Johnson braced Emma Rosy’s limp body, he pulled open the car door and threw the stick in, he leaned down again and picked her up across the body, shoving her into the back.
It was dark, the air smelled of dust and decay, and the ground was cold.
Paul Johnson knocked her out and threw her in here, what the hell was he trying to do?
“Hey, is there anyone there …”
She braced herself to get up, and after her eyes adjusted to the darkness, she stumbled behind the door, tapping it with all her strength and calling out, “I know you’re out there, stop hiding Paul Johnson! Why did you do this … I can find another way to help you, like now … now you lock me up, there is no point, do you hear me let me out …”
After letting her shout for a long time, a laugh came from the door, but the sharp voice, however, did not come from the mouth of a man.
“I didn’t realize that you were so good at compelling people. It’s a good thing I stayed with you, or he might have been really moved by you.”
In the darkness, Emma Rosy’s eyes widened, and her stormy eyesight seemed to pierce through the iron door, stabbing straight into the body of the man outside.
“Marisa Miller–”
Emma Rosy clenched her fists, but her feet stepped backwards uncontrollably.
Marisa Darcysmiled smugly, with the pleasure of putting Emma Rosy back on her feet: “Surprise? Right when you were arguing with that bitch Ivy Smith, I got the jump on Paul Johnson.”
I see, no wonder one moment was anxious to see Alex Brown, the next moment but quietly hiding, and knocked her out and kidnapped here, must be all Marisa Miller’s orders.
Paul Johnson ah Paul Johnson, when you said you found Marisa Darcywill persuade her to turn herself in together, I really should not believe you …
Emma Rosy shook her head in self-deprecation and tried to ask for more information from Marisa Miller’s mouth, when no one answered outside.
At that moment, Alex Brown, who had learned that she had visited the Brown Family, decided to leave the hospital immediately.
Ivy Smith was jealous, but kindly reminded her, “The doctor told you to rest for at least half a month, so it’s too early to leave the hospital.
While she was talking, Alex Brown had already gone into the dressing room to change his clothes and told Eric Chan to take his work files home, and before he left the house, he saw her still trying to discourage him and responded with a slightly impatient voice: “My body and my work are not as important as Emma.
Alex Brown left, leaving Ivy Smith standing outside the hospital room, like a joke.
After Alex Brown was discharged from the hospital, he immediately contacted Emma Rosy, but for two days, his text messages and phone calls went unanswered, and Keira, who was looking forward to seeing her mother, became increasingly depressed, thinking that her mother was angry and did not want her.
On the third day, the father and daughter finally could not resist and went to the Wright Family to look for her.
The Wright Family home was wide open, with the occasional bouncer running around, but Alex Brown led Keira all the way into the villa without being asked or stopped.
It wasn’t until they passed the living room and heard Master Wright and Joe Wright talking that they learned the reason for the Wright Family’s anomalies.
“Grandpa you eat something first, all the bodyguards have been sent out so far, they must be found soon.”
“How can I eat? I’m afraid that even if I die, I can’t close my eyes in peace na …”
“You must not think so, according to the secretary, Emma did not go to the office that day, probably just left home and encountered something, that’s why the trip was delayed. At the moment, we only know that she is missing, there is no call from the kidnappers or other news, maybe she is hiding herself.”
“She is not a three-year-old child, knowing that her family will be worried, how can she be so risky, don’t comfort me …”
Alex Brown and Keira were standing outside the living room, dumbfounded by the news.
For two days in a row, Emma Rosy was not angry, but missing!
Gritting his teeth, Alex Brown picked Keira up and left, only to be confronted by a couple of maids, and in his panic he headed for the other side of the courtyard.
With his strength rapidly fading, Alex Brown placed Keira on the nearest stone bench and sat next to her, arms propped up on the table, eyes squeezed shut to adjust her breathing.
Keira, still reeling from the horrific news of her mother’s disappearance, noticed her father’s strange appearance and scrambled to touch his cheek: “Are you not feeling well, Daddy? You’re sweating a lot, and your mouth … Why is it white?”
Alex Brown tilted his head to avoid Keira’s hand, not that he didn’t want her to touch it, but the dizziness became more intense, as if he would faint in the next second.
“Good girl, Daddy didn’t …”
Just weakly opened his mouth, the afterglow suddenly appeared a slender figure.
Hope, who had been comforted by her elders for a long time before finally deciding to go to school, approached quickly, her eyes flicking around Keira’s body before landing on Alex Brown’ face.
“Keira, is your father sick?”
Hope, who was so attentive, immediately guessed that he might be sick and hastily fished out her cell phone to call.
“Wait!” Alex Brown turned around with difficulty and pressed her phone: “Don’t tell anyone.”
He couldn’t let the outside world know he was sick, and although Keira didn’t understand why he was doing this, she asked for help with tears in her eyes.
Hope is not in the habit of talking nonsense, and if it were a normal day, she would have done what Alex Brown asked her to do, but right now Alex Brown is so seriously ill, in case there is a life-threatening situation …
“Ugh! Okay.” She only had to respond, and then took out the thermos she carried with her, warm water poured in the lid, bent down and handed it to Alex Brown.
After drinking the water, he was much better.
Alex Brown got up to say goodbye to Keira and asked Hope to take care of her before leaving on wobbly feet.
The car was parked not far from the door, Eric Chan was playing a mobile game, originally thought that his boss would not come out so soon, who knew that just when the important moment was underway, the door in the back row was pulled open violently, followed by a person falling in heavily.
“Mr. Brown ?!”
He turned his head in shock, only to see Alex Brown leaning against the back seat, his lips and chin stained with red liquid, and his line of sight down to the custom-made wool carpet was a patch of blood!
Eric Chan did not dare to delay, and hurriedly started the car to the hospital, and contacted the attending doctor to get ready.
The car arrived at the hospital and Alex Brown was transported directly to the emergency room. After treatment and a thorough examination, the results were very unsatisfactory and he had to be hospitalized to recuperate and observe all the indicators of his body at all times.
Two days ago, he was discharged from the hospital with a strong attitude, Eric Chan and Ivy Smith had a rare agreement, both thought it was not right, but could not persuade him. Now that the doctor said so, Eric Chan did not ask his opinion and went straight through the hospitalization procedure.
Alex Brown woke up, removed the needle, and left the hospital again, despite all the advice.
At that moment, the Wright family and Alex Brown began to use all kinds of contacts and means to find Emma Rosy, who had been missing for two days, and the situation was not optimistic.
Paul Johnson puts the lunch box back on the table and looks at Marisa Darcywith a hesitant look.
Marisa Darcysaw it, but deliberately ignored it. Finally, Paul Johnson could not help but remind her: “She has been running a high fever all day, not to mention eating, not even a drop of water, if this continues, she will be killed!
“What are you yelling at me for?” Marisa Darcywas admiring her new nails in the sunshine, crossing her legs with a look of indifference: “It’s summer, she’s not well and she’s sick, can I be blamed for that?”
Marisa Miller’s ability to shirk responsibility has grown stronger and her character has become more cruel and poisonous. Paul Johnson has noticed the changes in her, but in order to stay by her side, he can only hold back.
“… at least buy some medicine for her.” After a long time, before discussing in a low voice.
Marisa Darcyglanced at him, and was about to make a few sarcastic remarks, when she then heard another, more adequate reason.
“To lure Alex Brown, you have to keep the bait alive.”
Yes, she hadn’t just kidnapped Emma Rosy to vent her hatred, she had to make the rest of them pay too, or wouldn’t it have been easier for her to just drop an explosive on the Wright Family?
Marisa Darcycurls her lips and nods slowly.
The windows are closed, but there still seems to be a cold breeze blowing in through the cracks, stirring people’s minds.
Alex Brown is awakened by a phone call, a familiar ringing tone that is particularly harsh in the dead of night. “I have Emma Rosy, come out and meet me, giggle giggle …”
The sharp, eerie laugh penetrated his eardrums, and Alex Brown, having had a premonition, immediately agreed.
It was 11:50 am.
The wind was stronger on the hillside outside.
Alex Brown clenched his fist against his lips, coughed with difficulty, wrapped his jacket tightly and continued walking upwards.
The curtain of darkness in the distance, vaguely revealing a white light, his eyes suddenly opened wide, speed up the pace to go, to see the “white” face, but as if suffering a head-on blow, the throat again fishy sweet.
It was a tombstone, a … tombstone with Emma Rosy’s name engraved on it!
No, Emma had only been missing for three days until now, and whoever had taken her would never have killed her without making any offer!
“Look how scared you are, is that all?”
Behind the tombstone slowly came out a person, without looking closely, you can guess her identity by the sound of her voice.
Alex Brown looked up and narrowed his eyes warily: “It’s you.”
Marisa Darcygiggled, as if very happy: “I knew you had a new lover, but also will not forget me, an old lover, after all, I have a deep love for you na …”
“Don’t give me that!” Alex Brown interrupted in a cold voice and looked down at the tombstone: “What does this mean?”
Marisa Darcyrubbed her chin, walked briskly around the tombstone and pretended to understand: “Oh, you ask this? Actually, it’s nothing, for the sake of old acquaintance, send Emma a big gift in advance. Anyway, people have to die someday, right?”
According to her, Emma Rosy is still alive.
Alex Brown was relieved, but he didn’t let up when he faced Marisa Miller, who had been in hiding for two years and had reappeared.
