Matthew looked at the woman and his eyes lit up. He had a plan and said, “Find a place to lock her up.”
Boyce did not know what Matthew was thinking and objected, “We don’t have the time…”
“Do as I say.” He stomped off after saying.
Boyce stood in place and pondered if he wasted his efforts to capture this woman. He was not satisfied.
Buzz, buzz…
Abbott’s cellphone vibrated and he took it out of his pocket. It was a message from Matthew and he opened it immediately. He started to grin after he read the message. He now knew what Matthew planned to do.
He kept the phone, looked at the woman, and frowned, “This woman is really stubborn.”
But he could understand as it took courage for her to instigate Benjamin to kidnap Joshua and demand company shares from Matthew as a ransom.
Had it not been for the crisis due to Jayden’s death, she would not have had the opportunity to carry it out.
“What a pity.” Abbott said in front of her intentionally, “We had wasted our efforts capturing her since we can’t get any information from her.”
“Where shall we lock her up? Prison?” Abbott asked Boyce.
Boyce replied, “Not now. Jos is still in Benjamin’s hands. If we lock her up, that would signal to Benjamin that they had been exposed. What if…”
They were very concerned about Joshua’s safety.
“Why do I have the feeling that something’s not right?” Abbott appeared to be vexed.
“I really don’t believe that she doesn’t care about her life!” Abbott was about to strike and Boyce intervened, “Spare her.” He could not stand aside and let Abbott commit a murder.
Abbott scoffed in disgust, “You must be ruthless with such a woman. Otherwise, she’ll think that we’re soft and do not dare to act.”
“Leave, all of you, and leave this to me.” Abbott said as he squatted next to the woman and continued, “You won’t be implicated by what’s going to happen.”
The woman broke and said, “How dare you!”
“I’ll show you whether I dare or not!” Abbott picked up a brick and then grabbed her finger.
“I heard that the fingers are linked to the heart. I’ll see how is your pain threshold.”
“No… don’t…” The woman struggled but Abbott pinned her down and forced her to expose one finger. He slammed the brick down onto the finger.
“Argh!!” The woman screamed in pain.
Boyce and his men left the tower. He could act ruthlessly but he was more concerned for Joshua’s safety and do not want to risk it by being too harsh.
Abbott continued to gag the woman’s mouth and smashed one finger after another until five fingers were a bloody mess.
“Today I want to see if you or the brick will win.” Abbott threw the broken brick aside and picked up another one. He grabbed the other hand and spread the fingers, “I have all the time in the world. Let’s
have some fun.”
“Mmph, mmph…” The woman struggled and wanted to say something.
Abbott noticed but he ignored her. She was the type that thought too highly of herself and felt that they would not do anything to her since Joshua was captured by her. Not only was he carrying out Matthew’s instructions, but he also wanted to teach this woman a lesson.
Suddenly Boyce ran over and appeared very troubled, “Abbott!”
“What happened?” Abbott turned to ask.
“Let’s go, we’ve been discovered.” He pulled Abbott as Abbott kicked her and said, “Isn’t she leaving with us?”
“There’s no time. With my status, I’d be ruined if someone discovered that I’m here. Quickly.” Boyce used his strength to pull Abbott. Abbott pretended to be upset and yelled, “We’re too kind to this bitch!” He ‘fled’ with Boyce soon after.
Their footsteps diminished in a distance while another set of footsteps approached. The woman was dizzy from the pain and barely saw someone familiar approach her. Her eyes became wide open when she realized who this was and started to mumble, “Mmph, mmph…”
Benjamin took out the gag in her mouth. Benjamin said that he went to the restroom and did not come back because he could not find who he was looking for. Thereafter Benjamin received a message that she was here and he came immediately.
“It’s Matthew…” The woman’s eyes were bloodshot, hugged Benjamin and cried, “You must revenge for me.”
Benjamin assured, “Okay, okay…”
He answered so quickly because he had been humiliated. This woman was his subordinate and was captured and tortured by Matthew. Matthew did not hold back on his account!
“Quick, take her away,” Benjamin ordered, and very soon someone came to carry the woman away to the cars below. They entered the car and sped away.
A short distance away, several cars were waiting and then followed Benjamin. Soon Benjamin brought the woman home and called the doctor to tend to her wounds. Although she was badly injured, the injuries were not life-threatening.
“I’m afraid that these injuries on your face will leave scars.” The doctor said.
“I want you to treat it perfectly!” The woman yelled.
Benjamin liked her and said to the doctor, “Please do your utmost best.” The doctor nodded.
Soon, the wounds were all cleaned and treated. The woman looked into the mirror. Her face was bandaged up and said furiously, “Those animals ruined my face!”
Benjamin comforted her, “They’ll heal.”
“Just look at my hand!” The woman raised her bandaged hand. She thought of the disrespect that she had gone through and yelled, “I want revenge!”
It looked like the woman’s eyes were shooting daggers. They were filled with anger. She kicked off the blanket and got down from the bed.
Benjamin was surprised and asked, “You’re injured, where are you going?”
“How can I let this rest? You saw for yourself what they did to me. I’m your woman. They did this to show you. Now I want them to know that I am no pushover!” She said furiously.
“Didn’t you agree to meet them tonight? I’ll go with you but I need to go somewhere else before that.”
“Where?” Benjamin sensed her motives, “You want to go to that baby?”
“Someone must pay for what I just suffered!” The woman said ruthlessly.
“Furthermore, we must not let this baby go even after we get what we want.”
Benjamin narrowed her eyes and asked, “What do you mean by that?”
“Think about it. When we give the baby back to Matthew, we no longer hold anything against him. He will come to us with everything he’s got. So long as the baby is in our hands, he won’t try anything funny. This baby is our human shield!”
“True.” Benjamin nodded.
“Benjamin, when I was captured and tortured, I did not reveal a single thing because I know that our situation is dicey. If I said where the baby was, then he would come after you. That’s why I was ready to die without saying anything to them. I was only worried that they threatened you. Benjamin, I love you. You must seek revenge for me.” The woman cried as she said.
Benjamin hugged the woman. It was true that had she revealed the baby’s whereabouts, he would lose any bargaining chips with Matthew. Furthermore, Matthew would not let the matter rest just like that and come after him with everything in his disposal.
She did not reveal the baby’s location even after suffering so much torture. It was clear that she had been thinking for him. Benjamin’s heart ached and replied, “I’ll seek revenge for what you suffered today.”
“Now I want to see that baby.” The woman insisted. She just wanted someone to pay for the injuries that she had sustained.
She wanted Matthew to regret hurting her!
