Chapter 333

“By the way, tell Jonathan to sing Peace and Glory tomorrow,” Ashlyn’s face was devious, “The National Day performance must be in accordance with the theme. I will not allow him to sing those modern songs.”

“Alright,” Jared could not help but curve the corner of his lips. It was nonsensical to force a famous idol like Jonathan to sing the Glorious Group.

Five minutes later, Jonathon received the call from his brother, “Jared, this is preposterous! I’m a famous idol and she is asking me to sing this song?”

“You must obey it unless you wish to lose your job,” Jared was firm on the decision.

“I refuse to do so,” Jonathan was infuriated as he was doing a favor for Jared. Other TV stations offered high prices for him to perform, but he rejected all of them.

On the other hand, Lake City TV Station’s offer was unappealing. To make things worse, Ashlyn had asked him to sing a classical song that was outdated!

He certainly did not want that!

Jared calmly responded, “She has a multitude of methods to compel your obedience. If you don’t trust me, you can always try to challenge her.”

Jonathan was speechless.

“Think about what I said. Just follow my advice and things won’t go wrong,” said Jared.

The darkness of the night stretched to infinity.

Janet did not have any clue where she had been brought to. The car was on the move for a very long time. The rough estimation was two hours.

Finally, the car came to a stop. Two men dragged her out of the car and into a house.

The door was slammed shut and a loud bang echoed through the house.

The black bag which covered her face was removed. However, her limbs were tied together and her movement was restricted.

The room had a wall lamp with dim lights. It was extremely run-down and entangled with threads of cobwebs.

The floor was filled with wet hay; the room was humid and cold. During the night, the freezing cold would send shivers across a person’s spine.

She was terrified and yelled, “Who are you? Why do you want to kidnap me? What’s your intention? Open the door and release me!”

She changed to a different strategy, “My family has money. I can pay for the ransom money, please release me. I beg of you, I’m willing to pay!”

She sobbed and begged.

“Why are you screaming in the middle of the night? I want to sleep! If you don’t keep quiet, I will cut your tongue off!” a man shouted.

His threat was effective. She immediately kept quiet, petrified by the thoughts of horrible things that the mad man would do to her if she disobeyed him.

She was in the middle of nowhere on a quiet night. If the man decided to kill her, everything would be over.

She was frightened and quavered in a corner.

She did not dare to even lift a finger.

She was unnerved by the piercing cold of wet hay.

She had never endured such sufferings ever since she was born.

Now, she could only pray that Grandpa would be able to find her and rescue her from this misery.

She wanted to return home badly.

Tears escaped her eyes and streamed down her cheeks.

At the police station…

Initially, Mr. Smith was waiting restlessly back at home. However, the long wait was torturous and unbearable. Thus, he decided to wait at the police station instead for first-hand news about his granddaughter.

He was served with a glass of earl grey. Nonetheless, he was not in the mood to appreciate the tea.

Chief Chase rushed to the police station. He empathetically consoled the old man before him, “Mr. Smith, Janet will return home unharmed. I’ve dispatched a huge team to look for her. We will receive news of your granddaughter at full tilt.”

“Chief Chase, as you know, the Smith family doesn’t have many family members to begin with. The youngest generation now only consists of two people, Janet and Gerald. If anything bad happens to Janet, I will not have the will to live anymore,” Mr. Smith’s physical condition appeared to have deteriorated significantly within a short span of time.

His well-being was severely affected by the immense stress and pressure.

He had always loved Janet. It had never occurred to him that his precious granddaughter would go missing.

He sighed and said, “This is obviously a calculated plan to kidnap her. They got rid of our driver before abducting her.”
