My Supermodel Wife

Chapter 247 - The Reason Behind The Kidnapping

A few moments later, Clifford and his subordinates came back together one by one. It seemed like they were also hiding around there to avoid the cops.

Clifford walked past them and entered the ruins of the apartment. Five minutes later, he got back and met Jean. The man nodded as he said, "Young Master, Miss Sasha has been saved by the police."

"Very nice." Jean nodded with a flat expression. He didn't show any reaction after hearing that his childhood best friend was safe.

Hearing that, Lilia turned to Mellisa who was cleaning herself from the dust, "Sister Mel, is it true that you kidnapped Sasha?" She asked.

The woman looked fixedly at her sister. Her eyes said that she wouldn't back off without hearing any words coming out of her mouth. Lilia felt that this coincidence was too extraordinary. Sasha was kidnapped and held in the same ruins where Lilia met Mellisa. There was only one possibility that rose from this coincidence.

A gentle breeze blew past, lifting the dust off the ground and blowing Lilia's long hair. But the woman didn't bother to straighten her hair. Her gaze remained fixed on Mellisa.

Not far from there, Jean got together with Clifford and the rest of the security team. They seemed to be discussing something important. Their voices were so small that even Lilia couldn't hear a word.

In front of Lilia, Mellisa finally met her sister's gaze. The woman's eyes flashed with grim determination. Mellisa rubbed her hands together, as if she was cold. Her throat was starting to itch, so she reached into her shirt pocket and pulled out a box of cigarettes.

The woman put a stick on her lips before answering, "Yes, I kidnapped her."

That straightforward answer made Lilia blink with a confused expression, "...Why?" She asked, "Do you have a grudge towards her or something?"

As far as Lilia knew, Sasha and Mellisa shouldn't have met at all. Then what had Sasha done to her?

Mellisa smiled broadly at Lilia's question. She crossed her arms and replied, "It's simple. Because she's trying to hurt you!"

Her answer showed that Mellisa would not forgive anyone who dared to try to hurt her sister. Mellisa's voice was full of confidence, as if kidnapping Sasha was something of pride. She refused to look guilty or sorry. The woman was sure that her actions could be justified just because Mellisa tried to harm Lilia.

The model stared at Mellisa with disbelief. Mellisa's answer was completely beyond her expectations.

Mellisa chuckled and asked, "Are you surprised?"

It took Lilia a while to process Mellisa's question. She nodded hard, "I was really shocked!" Lilia replied while frowning, "What does she want to do to me?"

There wasn't a shred of doubt in Lilia's voice. She believed every word and every sentence that came out of Mellisa's mouth.

Seeing Lilia not doubting what she said made Mellisa's eyes glow with joy. She exhaled her cigarette smoke before whispering in a low voice, "Yesterday, she purposely bribed the head of the equipment team who handled all the equipment in this shoot. That woman intended to sabotage the equipment you used while shooting the scene over the river!"

Mellisa's tone sounded light as she said it, but her words gave Lilia chills down her spine. Yesterday when Lilia was filming, she remembered that there was a scene where she was lifted up to a height of ten meters. If there was something wrong with the equipment… Lilia didn't dare imagine the consequences.

Lilia looked at her sister, secretly feeling grateful that that woman intervened in this incident. If there was a problem with the shooting equipment, the head of the equipment team would be held responsible. No one would ever suspect Sasha. But the worst impact would be on Lilia. Her part in the making of this film was far from over.

If Lilia was involved in an accident, the filming process would be affected too. The delay in the shooting process would prevent the film from being released on schedule. This would make the investors angry and Louis would likely be held accountable too. Even worse, they might withdraw their funds.

In order to avoid that worst case scenario, Louis would have no choice but to replace Lilia with another actor.

Lilia was amazed by the plan Sasha had drawn up. Although Sasha's actions might seem trivial and childish at first glance, the effects were not funny. The woman's position as an investor put her at advantage as she had the privilege above the film's cast and crew. If an accident occured during filming, Sasha only needed to withdraw the funds and stop the filming process. After all, if something happened to the cast while filming, that incident would definitely affect the reputation of the film and not her.

It looked like Lilia underestimated Sasha's hatred towards her. That woman hated her so much that she wanted Lilia to die!

Lilia covered her face with both hands while sighing deeply. If it weren't for Mellisa's help, maybe Lilia would be in a hospital right now… or even in a coffin. She couldn't imagine how she would endure the pain after falling from a height of ten meters into the rushing river.

Then Lilia remembered something. She lowered her hand and turned towards Mellisa. "Ah, why are you in Magetan, Sis?" She asked in surprise.

Mellisa smiled ambiguously when she heard that question. She turned her gaze to the ruins of the flats scattered in the area.

"There's something I need to do nearby. When I heard that you were shooting here, I decided to stop by." Mellisa replied in a light tone.

The short-haired woman did not say specifically what she would do. Lilia herself didn't ask that question either. She felt that Mellisa was hiding many secrets about herself. But Lilia respected her sister's decision. If Mellisa didn't want to talk about it, she wouldn't ask.

"Then how do you know that Sasha is planning something evil against me?" Lilia asked.

"Because I happened to be on set too!" Mellisa answered with a meaningful wink, "Before that woman came to Magetan, she had already bribed the head of the equipment team. If not for that, why do you think that woman came all the way here?"

Lilia smiled wryly when she heard that, "What happened to the head of the equipment team?"

"He's gone." Mellisa paused for a moment before adding, "I guess he's on his way back to his hometown right now."

Mellisa purposely didn't mention that she was there when Sasha called the head of the equipment team. Sasha urged the man to immediately start the rotten plan, without knowing that the man had been paralyzed and tied tightly by Mellisa.

Then Mellisa told the man to ask Sasha to double the bounty. As expected, Sasha lost her temper and went to meet the head of the equipment team near the river, which was quite remote from the shooting location. Mellisa could easily ambush Sasha there. She stunned the woman before leading her to these ruins.

Meanwhile, the family of the head of the equipment team had become hostage under Herri and Mellisa's other subordinates. The man cooperated with Mellisa without protesting since his family's life was in that woman's hand.

Mellisa planned to take revenge for everything Sasha had done to Lilia.. Who told that woman to make life difficult for her sister?! Unfortunately, Sasha was found missing before Mellisa could do anything.
