Chapter 519
In a rundown shack on a desolate island off the coast, Eleanor was tied to a chair, her lips sealed shut with layers of duct tape.
The suffocating sensation slowly roused her from unconsciousness. The moment she lifted her eyelids, she saw a bunch of nasty–looking dudes surrounding her
They were all big thugs, gripping weapons like iron rods, and bone knives in their hands
Sunlight fittered through the cracks in the wooden shack, casting a silvery sheen on the gleaming blades
The blinding light pierced Eleanor’s eyes, making her heart race.
Instinctively, she tried to struggle, only to discover she was bound on both her hands and feet. She was unable to move.
“Save your energy, sweetheart, there’s no escaping this.
A scar–faced man pushed his way through the crowd. His heavy boots thudded against the floor. novelbin
At the sight of the scar–faced man, Eleanor quickly realized they were after Mr. Law
Eleanor eyed the approaching man, her mind was racing
They kidnapped her, probably hoping to pry out the identity of Mr. Law from her.
As long as she claimed she’d never met Mr. Law, Bernard would be safe.
Knowing their motives eased her fear of the unknown.
Judging by their intimidating display of weapons, it looked like she was in for a beating….
Eleanor moped, wondering how she would negotiate with these thugs to minimize her injuries when…
The door of the shack creaked open as a man dressed in a suit and sunglasses strolled in.
Despite his hidden eyes, Eleanor recognized him- the former Chairman of VitaLife Global, Cameron Ratliff.
Eleanor felt an odd sense of familiarity when she saw him. Probably because she used to work for his company.
She never expected Cameron to be the man who ordered her kidnapping. What did he want with Mr. Law?
When Cameron arrived, the scar–faced man quickly brought a chair over and placed in front of Eleanor.
Once seated, Cameron took out a cigar, lit it, and gestured at the scar–faced man.
He quickly got the message and tore the duct tape from Eleanor’s mouth.
Finally able to breathe, Eleanor gulped down fresh air while wincing at the pain….
“Great to see you again, Ms. Shultz,” Cameron said coldly.
Eleanor eyed him but didn’t reply. In situations like this, silence was golden.
Cameron didn’t care whether she responded or not. He’d brought her here with no intentions of letting her leave, so he didn’t need to hold his tongue.
“I thought you were dead. Who knew you’d be resurrected three years later? Lucky for me, I stumbled upon some information about you. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have known you were still kicking, let alone where to find you….”
Eleanor was taken aback, “Why were you looking for me?”
Cameron took another puff of his cigar before slowly saying. Three years ago, you reported to the police that you were being coerced by Mr. Law. I’m here to ask you, who is this Mr. Law who’s been forcing you?”
Eleanor’s heart skipped a beat. So her abduction was because of the police report she had filed three years ago….
