Ivy Smith was on a mission and really worried about Emma Rosy, so she didn’t argue with him and calmly reminded him, “The weather is getting cooler and cooler, Mr. Taylor’s temper should also be lowered, otherwise the media will see it and there will be some big news that will damage your reputation.”
“You–” Charles Taylor pointed at Ivy Smith aggressively, but the latter did not react, knocking gracefully on the door and entering the ward.
The friend of Emma Rosy and Ivy Smith, Joe Wright had heard about it, and learned that she came in place of Alex Brown, so he did not hide it, and directly told the truth about Emma Rosy’s injury.
Ivy Smith could not stay long, explained why Alex Brown could not come in person, and then said goodbye.
Before she left, Keira, who was silently at the bedside, suddenly raised her head and said, “Auntie, tell Dad that Mom is sick and that he should come to … soon.”
Ivy Smith paused, worried gaze swept over Emma Rosy, fell on the poor Keira body, some heartache: “Your father is more worried about mom than anyone else, but he is dealing with urgent matters, he can only come after he is busy, auntie promise you, will bring him the message.”
“Thank you, auntie.”
As Keira watched expectantly, Ivy Smith left the ward, and Eva Taylor couldn’t help but wonder, “What’s she pretending to be so nice about now?
Eva Taylor’s voice is not loud, but everyone in the room can hear it. Joe Wright immediately frowned and reminded in a deep voice: “Alex Brown can’t leave the room, she visited for him, what’s wrong with that? And Emma told me herself that she and Ivy Smith are friends, good friends!”
She didn’t expect her casual remark to get such a big reaction from Joe Wright, Eva Taylor muttered slightly dissatisfied: “I just said it …”
The relationship between Emma Rosy and Ivy Smith has only just been eased, what would happen if her words were overheard by Ivy Smith? Not to mention that Keira is still here and it would be nice for a child to see how adults fight with each other.
“Don’t say that again!”
Emma Rosy was still unconscious and Joe Wright didn’t want to start a fight in the hospital room, so he gave a warning and left it at that, Eva Taylor hung her head and bit her lip, obeying and not speaking again, but with a lot of anger in her heart.
After a large amount of money was injected into the company, Charles Taylor was looking for projects to work with everywhere, and was so busy that he was no longer as concerned about his sister’s love life.
But Eva Taylor herself have chosen to endure, he rashly opened his mouth, only to be afraid that will affect the feelings between the couple, so turn to vent their anger on Alex Brown.
“Work is busy, compared with Emma and what is it? I’m an outsider who can leave my foreign partners and come back overnight, why can’t he? In the end, he still doesn’t care enough!”
Charles Taylor’s words seemed like he was concerned about Emma Rosy, but to Joe Wright’s ears, he sounded hypocritical.
If Emma was above all else, how could he have agreed to Alex Brown’ deal in the first place?
Eva Taylor knows that Joe Wright does not like to hear this, see the situation hurriedly excuses to buy food, pull him out of the hospital.
On the way, Eva Taylor peeked at Joe Wright several times, saw his face dark as the bottom of a pot, hesitantly persuaded: “My brother has a lot of things to do lately, the mood is not good, some of the things he said is not good, maybe he does not realize, so you do not take it to heart, okay?”
Joe Wright didn’t think so: “Mr. Taylor has to speak in different occasions, he doesn’t understand such a simple reason? In my opinion, he does not want to understand!”
“What do you mean by that?”
At that, Eva Taylor suddenly stopped in her tracks, shook off Joe Wright’s hand and looked at him angrily: “I understand that you’re worried about Emma’s injury and I’m willing to take care of your emotions, but who are you to say that about my brother?”
Joe Wright didn’t care about her and walked straight ahead around her.
“Stop it, does it bother you?”
“Am I bored?” Eva Taylor pulled Joe Wright to a halt, and insisted on arguing with him.
“Emma was injured, my brother and I dropped everything we were doing to come and take care of her, but Alex Brown didn’t show up, who doesn’t care about Emma? But what about you? What kind of reason is it for you to be polite to Ivy Smith and then come and lecture me and my brother?
Joe Wright didn’t want to communicate with such a shallow-minded person and said, “If you don’t want to take care of it, you can just leave!”
Eva Taylor’s eyes instantly filled with tears as she choked back tears and shook her head, “Joe Wright, you’re too much. I think you’re just not over Emma and you want to get rid of everyone so you can be alone with her!”
Eva Taylor cried and decided to leave, Joe Wright took a deep breath to calm down for a moment, and continued to walk to the restaurant.
Now that Emma Rosy is injured and the Wright Group is without an owner, all the burdens are on Joe Wright’s shoulders alone, waiting for him to deal with them, and after their unhappy breakup, there is no hope of reconciliation.
Not wanting to always be the first to give in, Eva Taylor gamely decides that this time she must wait for Joe Wright to coax her first.
With this in mind, she walked faster and faster in the opposite direction, leaving Joe Wright out of sight in the blink of an eye.
She always wants to eat when she is depressed, she passed a dessert store, and was about to go in for a feast, when her eyes passed by the glass door, she suddenly found a somewhat familiar figure, walking quickly towards the street alley.
This figure is very similar to the person who followed her a few days ago, Eva Taylor did not have time to think about it, and hurriedly raised her steps to follow.
The alley was narrow and cramped, and like a maze of twists and turns, Eva Taylor had never been down this road before, but in order to see who was following her, she had to weave her way through it, but when she turned another corner, the figure in front of her sometimes disappeared completely!
“Strange, how people did not … Well!”
Before the words were finished, a hand reached out from a position in the corner behind her and tightly covered her mouth and nose.
Joe Wright carried lunch back to the hospital, Keira tired in the sofa to fall asleep, Charles Taylor stood in front of the window, his face deep in thought, and Eva Taylor, it seems, has not returned.
He originally did not want to pay attention to Charles Taylor, but he was really worried about Eva Taylor, so he asked, “Where did Eva go?”
At that, Charles Taylor turned around in surprise: “Didn’t she go with you to buy dinner? You weren’t together?”
“We had a fight on the way, she …” Joe Wright put the lunch box on the table, helpless and ashamed to tell Charles Taylor the truth.
When he found out about this, Charles Taylor immediately called home and confirmed that Eva Taylor was not home either, he was furious and cursed: “Are you still a fucking man? What else can you do besides bullying Eva? If something happens to Eva, I will not spare you!”
The most urgent task at hand is to find someone, blaming each other is pointless, see Charles Taylor emotional, paranoid look as if the next moment will swing a knife to kill, Joe Wright reprimanded in a quiet voice to no avail, directly punch him in the face.
“Enough Charles Taylor!” shake off the pain of the right hand, Joe Wright lifted his collar, stern warning: “Eva whether it is gambling to hide or in danger, we must confirm as soon as possible, do you understand? ”
Speaking of Marisa Miller, Charles Taylor suddenly remembered something, suddenly like cold water down, a burst of chills.
A few days ago, he was on a business trip in Australia, resting when talking with Eva, had heard her say she always felt someone following her, turn around to look but could not see anything, at that time he was alerted, but Eva may be afraid of him worry, and soon afterwards told him that it was just a joke of friends.
In retrospect, it hardly seems to make sense.
Realizing that Eva Taylor might be in real danger, Charles Taylor immediately calmed down and split up with Joe Wright to look for someone, with Joe Wright looking from the place where they had a fight and broke up, and him driving to the place where Eva Taylor usually goes.
With Emma Rosy and Keira unattended in the hospital room, Joe Wright calls Ivy Smith after much deliberation.
When Ivy Smith answered the phone, Alex Brown was nearby and heard the whole thing.
So They men in the company split up, one rushing to the hospital to take care of the patient’s child, the other driving alone in a more ordinary black Mercedes to a mysterious location.
Outside a fancy clubhouse, the Mercedes was parked on the side of the road, hidden by the night.
Alex Brown got out of the car and looked around for a few moments, found no suspicious vehicles or pedestrians, and then walked into the clubhouse.
Alex Brown didn’t feel any difference and went straight to the right.
Alex Brown stood in front of the screen, covered his lips and coughed a few times, and spoke calmly: “Nine.”
Behind the screen, the man’s tone was equally unruffled: “You’re late.”
“There were some unexpected circumstances.”
“The Brown Group has had a few too many unforeseen circumstances in recent years.” The man smiled, point-blank.
Alex Brown did not answer, said: “Ben Brown father and daughter returned from abroad, you go to investigate the inside story. And the investigation of Richard Family, also need to speed up the pace.”
The man regained his cold voice and replied in a machine-like, hard, stereotypical voice: “Aarn Richard’s death is most likely the result of a joint effort between the Miller Family and Ben Brown, and needs to be confirmed.”
“Hmm.” Alex Brown waited for him to continue.
“Joe Wright’s identity is suspicious, recently there are mysterious accounts secretly playing money to his account, the other party’s specific information, still need time to investigate.”
Alex Brown slightly frowned, known each other for many years, he could not think of Joe Wright had done anything suspicious, on the contrary, Joe Wright was a rare person he trusted.
However, Nine’s investigation had never failed either.
Seeing his silence, the man smiled again, still full of coldness, so that one could not feel that he was really happy.
“What, after such a long experience of working together, have you finally begun to doubt my abilities?”
Through the screen, Alex Brown looked at the mysterious figure across the room, his eyes slowly narrowed.
“No need to get angry, I’m just speaking from your heart, aren’t I?” The man curbed his smile, “And, I can also inform you of a useful piece of information.”
Alex Brown spat out one word dryly, “Say.”
“Eva Taylor’s life is not in danger, and the person the other side wants is Emma Rosy, or you.”
Standing on the steps outside the clubhouse, looking up at the vast night sky, Alex Brown thought quietly.
It was not surprising that Nine knew about Eva Taylor’s disappearance. Since he said that, it proved that Eva Taylor was already in danger, however, the identity of the other party was still unknown.
But even if the ability is strong, there will eventually be something that can not be done, such as Eva Taylor disappeared only two hours ago, he does not even know the identity of the other party, and how can he find out the specific location of the captivity?
Unless, of course, he had a secret deal with the kidnapper.
Alex Brown stared at the note in his hand, his chest was full of depressed gas rushing against his internal organs, and suddenly a mouthful of blood spurted out, spattering blood color on the note.
The stinging color is alarming.
No matter what, for Emma Rosy’s safety, even if the front is a mountain of fire, he must also grit his teeth to run.
A warehouse in the west of the city, because the owner fled with the money and is still unused, the front door is full of leaves and garbage, the door is also hung with cobwebs.
When the iron door opened, Alex Brown entered and saw Eva Taylor lying on the cold floor.
The warehouse was dark, and most of the old lights had stopped working, leaving only a lone row hanging directly above Eva Taylor.
At the moment she was lying on her side on the ground, eyes tightly closed, cheeks by the light, looking a white, Alex Brown rushed to her side, squatting down to check her breathing and pulse, and confirmed that she was not injured, finally relieved.
It looks like she was just drugged and knocked out.
“Mr. Brown is so philandering, it’s not enough to have Emma Rosy and Ivy Smith two beautiful women, you actually want Ms. Taylor, giggle.”
Alex Brown looked up and saw a black figure appearing in an empty place. The hooded cloak and the mask of the faceless man will cover this person tightly without gap, only a pair of eyes exposed in the air, but can not identify, but also because wearing a voice changer, even the voice can not be distinguished.
Alex Brown slowly stood up and asked in a straightforward manner, “What do you want?”
“Fast!” The masked man praised him loudly, seemingly satisfied with his cooperative attitude, and then said with a smile: “In that case, I also do not say the secret, I want 30 million.”
“Good!” Alex Brown didn’t even think about it, so he blurted out.
He probably didn’t expect Alex Brown to agree so quickly, after all, the Brown Group is now surrounded by enemies on all sides, and it is likely to be difficult to protect itself. The masked man obviously froze, pondered for a moment, suddenly changed his tone: “Mr. Brown is willing to throw a thousand dollars for the beauty, then I certainly … certainly can not let you as you wish.”
Alex Brown furrowed his brows: “What do you mean?”
“Giggle …” the masked man once again covered his stomach and laughed, laughing enough before he said viciously: “I changed my mind, not money, but life!”
Once the words came out, Alex Brown woke up like a dream, the other party has no intention to trade, from the beginning to the end is just playing him. Since there were no rules in this game, he was free to make his own moves!
He quickly rushed forward, raised his fist before he could swing it, and then there was a sudden jab at his waist.
In less than a second, his body became sore and numb, and by the time he realized that his opponent had used electric shock, a baseball bat had landed heavily on the side of his head –
“Bang!”
Alex Brown fell to the ground with a bang, and the last image he saw was the eerie faceless man slowly approaching.
It didn’t seem to take long for consciousness to return, the dilapidated warehouse was still in front of him, the faceless man was still standing in place, tried to move his body, and unsurprisingly found himself tied up. A few steps away, Eva Taylor was watching everything around her with a frightened look on her face, looking like she had just woken up.
“Eva …” Alex Brown tried to speak up, but there was a sharp pain in his head, and he couldn’t make a sound, and what’s worse, he could see Eva Taylor’s lips opening and closing, but he couldn’t hear what she was saying.
The faceless man sneered and threw a knife in front of Eva Taylor, and his sharp, eerie voice rang out again: “Make a deal, how about it?”
Eva Taylor had never faced such a situation before, and her first reaction was to run away, but she was too scared and her legs were weak, and with Alex Brown still here, she couldn’t imagine what would happen if she left him behind.
With no one else to rely on, she could only put her head together and ask back with a shaky voice: “What … deal?”
The masked man smiled: “Don’t be afraid, little girl, it’s very simple, all you have to do is pick up the knife on the ground and stab it hard on that man, and you can all leave?”
“You … you want me to kill … kill people?!” Eva Taylor turned her head to look at Alex Brown, her eyes full of panic and pleading, but unfortunately the latter, despite the eagerness in his heart, was not able to help her.
“Knife stabbed in a person, and not necessarily dead, and I did not force you to stab the heart, giggle!”
The masked man seems to have heard a glance of how childish words, and can not help but let out a nerve-stimulating laughter, almost fainting Eva Taylor was frightened but did not find it funny, she forced herself to calm down, and finally began to consider the other party’s proposal.
