Chapter 531
Yusra gripped Jack’s arms tightly and asked, “Who’s the princess?”
How can Jack mock my dear daughter like this?
Jack looked back at his parents helplessly. Am I really their biological son?
“Ouch! Mom, let go!” Jack yelled. “Okay, okay. I’m sorry. Jess is not a princess. She’s a queen.”
Yusra was stunned. She let go of his arm and chuckled at his response.
“Jess, don’t ever get tricked by that sly, old fox. Charles is a businessman. No, he’s a con man, to be frank. He’ll never be in for a poor deal.” Jack then beat his chest and said proudly, “If you truly like it, forget about him. I’ll buy the papers for you instead.”
Jessica did not want to let Jack down by rejecting him, but she was worried that he would go looking for it.
“Jack, those are custom-made. You can’t simply get them anywhere.”
“Ha! Custom made. Did Charles say that because he was too bored or something? He was probably lying to you, anyway,” Jack mumbled while rolling his eyes.
That night, Jack started to look for the special paper by texting and calling all the possible numbers in his contacts.
“None? No, continue looking for it. Ask more people about it,” he ordered.
Matthew poured a cup of coffee for Jack. “Why are you so eager to look for that paper?”
“Of course, it’s because…” He paused. To not let that horrible man take our princess away!
Rather than saying what he thought, he continued righteously, “To put an end to plagiarism of drafts.”
Matthew’s lips twitched. Of course, he did not believe what Jack just said. Look at how sour his face is. I bet it’s not about the drafts’ issues.
After half an hour, there was news finally.
“Mr. Ferguson, those papers were invented by the boss of Hampton Biotech Company. They are not for sale,” one of the staff reported to him.
“Who’s the boss?”
The staff smiled. “Mr. Ferguson, I’m sure you know him. He’s Mr. Charles Young. I think he would gladly give you the papers, given your relationship with him.”
Jack’s face darkened immediately.
Charles Young invented that paper for Jessica? No way. Jessica cannot know about this. If she finds out that this man had specially researched this anti-counterfeiting paper for her, there’s no doubt she’ll fall for him. Charles, you sly fox. Thankfully, I have eagle eyes that I can see through your bad intentions at a glance.
Jack immediately dialed Sebastian. Once the call got through, the familiar cold voice echoed from the speaker. “What is it?”
“Hey, Sebastian. There’s big trouble. Charles purposely invented some sort of special paper for Jess. Tell me, which girl will not fall for this kind of trick? Charles, that bastard, has evil intentions for sure. I think we should do something. I want to create this type of paper too, for Jess. But… I don’t have the required technology to do so.
Sebastian, I remember you excelled in Physics and Chemistry back in high school. You must think of something. We cannot let Charles succeed!”
Jack continued to ramble on. After he was done, Sebastian only answered him with one word. “Okay.”
“So, what are you going to do, Sebastian?” Jack asked hurriedly.
Before he could realize it, Sebastian had already hung up on him.
Jack stared at his phone. Steam was coming out of his ears. How can people be so cold? Shouldn’t he feel united with me to bring the bastard down? He should feel the same hatred as I do! Unless… he thinks that Charles and Jessica make a great couple?!
Jack gritted his teeth. As he drifted deeper into his thoughts, he became more and more stressed out. Jess can only rely on me. No one else.
Chapter 532
After Sebastian put the phone down, he took his lab coat and proceeded into the lab.
The assistant watched him as he made his way to the work desk. Sebastian looked ferocious, but it seemed like a daily occurrence for the assistant.
However, he was stunned as he saw the chemicals that Sebastian used. Seems like something simple. Did he make a mistake in his research and have to start all over again now? But that still doesn’t seem right…
He couldn’t hold back his curiosity, so he asked, “Boss, is this the newest research method?”
“No.”
“Then…”
“Papermaking.”
“Huh?!” The assistant was dumbfounded at Sebastian’s answer. Did I hear him incorrectly? “Boss, did I hear you correctly? One of the four great inventions – papermaking?”
“Quiet.”
The assistant immediately shut his mouth. He did not dare to ask more, so he left.
Sebastian started his research on the special paper. It was a simple task, but to prepare one exactly like Charles’ was indeed more challenging.
Sebastian felt disdain for doing the same thing as Charles did. Of course, he would have to make a better one. No, he had to do his best.
At this moment, I’m the Ruler of My Design just posted a statement of apology on their social media. It was gaining a lot of attention, but the reach was limited. To counter the problem, they made use of a few well-known media companies to boost their publicity.
Tracy was involved, so naturally, she was being gossiped about on social media. There were many harsh comments about her.
“Ahh!” Tracy smashed everything that was around her violently.
Her assistant, Summer Hepburn, was pushed into the house by the people outside. Suddenly, a flower vase flew across her, grazing her left ear as it crashed into the wall behind her. It smashed into pieces.
She was petrified. A cold sweat ran down her face.
Every time Tracy was upset, a disaster was sure to follow. Tracy noticed the assistant, who was still standing there motionless. She stomped over to Summer and slapped her hard on her face.
Summer placed her hand on her cheek, which was growing hot from the slap. She looked down at the floor and dared not make a noise.
“You piece of trash. If you could design it properly, this wouldn’t have happened. I spent so much on you every month, and this is all you can give me? You can’t even beat a university student!”
Tracy continuously hit Summer as she scolded her. After a while, Tracy’s hand started to hurt, so she took an object nearby and continued beating her assistant.
Summer was in immense pain, but she did not dare to ask for forgiveness nor to ask Tracy to stop. She bit her lips and endured the beating and scolding silently.
Tracy finally stopped when she felt tired. However, Summer already had bruises and blue-black patches all over her body.
“Just seeing you makes me mad. Scram off now, you piece of garbage!”
Summer trembled in fear and turned around to leave.
“Did you not hear what I said? Leave. Now!” Tracy shouted.
She picked up the cup next to her and flung it toward Summer’s head. Fresh blood gushed out.
Summer hurriedly and silently left the room.
The people who were standing outside the house saw everything that happened in the house. They were terrified, but nobody spoke a word.
“You may claim two thousand dollars as compensation. But remember this, you were the one who caused all the injury upon yourself. It has nothing to do with Ms. Murray, understand?”
Summer nodded her head obediently and took her leave.
A luxury car stopped in front of Summer the moment she stepped out of the mansion. The car window rolled down. There was a man with a cool, handsome face seated at the back. He stared right into her eyes.
Chapter 533
The chauffeur got out of the car and opened the door for Summer.
“Ms. Hepburn, please.”
She looked at the car in front of her, then glanced at the man seated inside.
“Who are you guys?” she asked suspiciously.
The chauffeur replied politely, “Ms. Hepburn, if you want to get rid of all the problems you’re facing now, please get into the car.”
The chauffeur seemed to see right through her worries, so he continued, “There are surveillance cameras everywhere. You can snap a picture of our car license plate. If you feel uncomfortable or unsafe on the way to our destination, then you can call the police anytime.”
Summer immediately felt more at ease after hearing his explanation.
She got in the car and sat timidly in the corner. She carefully tilted her head and examined the handsome man beside her.
Hugh closed the file on his lap and turned to her.
“Hello. I’m Hugh Ferguson.”
“Nice to meet you,” Summer replied cautiously.
“Ms. Hepburn, how long have you been working for Tracy?”
Summer’s eyes grew wide open in shock. She looked at Hugh in disbelief. “H-How did you know?”
“Your brother embezzled public funds and caused a great debt on your family. To pay off the debt, you willingly worked for Tracy. Not only that, you had to endure much harassment and embarrassment from the scolding and beating. Do you still want to spend your days like this?”
Summer started to tear up. “No, but what can I do?”
Her dad had passed away when she was at a young age, whereas her mom was bedridden.
Her brother was now imprisoned for his crime. Summer was the only one left to pay back the debts. What other choice did she have?
“I’m giving you a chance now. To escape from Tracy and all this misery.”
“What?”
“Tell me everything that happened while you were working for Tracy. Don’t miss out on any details. Evidence. Give me all the evidence too. As long as you do as I say, I’ll wire you money. It’ll be more than enough to pay off the debt.”
“Are you being sincere?” Summer asked. She was emotional, yet terrified. All of this felt surreal.
“What do you think?”
“Okay, I agree to the deal.”
“Is three days enough for you?” Hugh asked.
“There’s no need for three days. I have everything on my phone.”
Summer then looked through all the voice recordings and videos before passing her phone to Hugh.
“Here are the videos and recordings of how she threatened me, beat me, and many more. There are also design drafts here. Everything you need is here.”
The chauffeur, who was driving in front, raised his eyebrows as he looked at her through the rearview mirror. He was surprised.
He never thought that such a frail-looking girl would have something up her sleeves. Well, never judge a book by its cover.
Hugh went through the recordings. He tilted his head and said, “Give me your account number.”
Summer was delighted. She immediately told him her account number.
After ten minutes, she received a text message.
It was from the bank. Summer quickly looked at the amount available in her bank account. An overwhelming emotion consumed her as the weight of the burden on her shoulders was finally gone. She would be free once she paid the debts off with the amount she received from Hugh.
She turned to look at Hugh and exclaimed, “Thank you! Thank you so much!”
“It’s just a deal.”
The car arrived at a bus stop. The chauffeur stopped the car and Summer got down.
The car took off and Summer gazed longingly as the car faded into the busy streets. Summer clenched her fists together. She was full of gratitude to Hugh.
Meanwhile, Tracy had already started taking action. She paid some ghostwriters to spread fake news about I’m the Ruler of My Design. They also made false accusations that the show was scripted.
She would never let Jessica, her rival, off so easily. “What did you say?” Tracy yelled. “Say it again!” The ghostwriters replied helplessly, “As soon as a comment or article about Jessica is uploaded, it’s automatically deleted by the system.”
Chapter 534
“If you can’t post it on Twitter, post it somewhere else, then!” Tracy shouted in agitation.
The ghostwriter remained silent. This was his profession. Of course, he would be clear on what to do. He did not need Tracy to instruct him.
Nevertheless, Tracy was the boss for this job. He had no choice but to swallow his pride and listen to her without fighting back.
“Ms. Murray, even if we use other platforms, there is no use,” the ghostwriter explained patiently.
“I think that you are just not good enough!”
“If this is so, hire a professional then.” The ghostwriter hung up on her as soon as he finished his sentence.
Tracy stared at her phone. She was infuriated that the ghostwriter hung up so abruptly. You’re just a nobody. How dare you show me an attitude! Ungrateful pig. I’ll settle it with you once I’m done with Jessica!
Tracy proceeded to contact a few other ghostwriters. However, the results were the same.
Only then did she come to a realization. Jack must be helping her. I thought Jack was merely an actor. I didn’t think that he would have so many connections.
Before she could think of another way to teach Jessica a lesson, the Internet was already filled with news that exposed Tracy as a recidivist.
The news exposed that her submitted competition works were done by someone Tracy hired and that she had no participation in it at all.
The shocking news spread like wildfire. Before long, it became a gossiping topic amongst the people.
Everyone on the Internet started to find out about her family background as soon as they heard this news.
As a result, the stock prices of the Murray Corporation fell drastically.
Jamison only reprimanded Tracy with a few words, then asked her to obediently stay home and not cause any more trouble. He clearly did not take the matter to heart.
“Have the Public Relations Department settle this matter, quickly. The faster, the better,” Jamison ordered his secretary. He then remembered that Tracy had mentioned someone wanted to frame her. He continued, “Also, find out more about Jessica. If she’s not anyone with a strong background, you know what to do. Have someone deal with her.”
“Have someone deal with her” would mean the same treatment that Summer experienced.
Tracy wanted Summer to work for her as she was impressed by her capabilities. However, Summer only worked for her because of what happened to her brother – she desperately needed money.
The Murray Corporation’s Public Relations Department started calling different companies, using money to offer deals so that they would delete the articles and posts regarding Tracy.
However, the events did not turn out favorably for the Murrays. Instead of accepting the huge sum of money and doing as the Public Relations Department requested, they recorded everything that was said and posted it on the Internet.
The Murray Corporation was exposed. Once again, the stock prices dropped to their limit.
The Internet was still chaotic about this matter, and many of the Murray Corporation’s suppliers decided to withdraw their partnerships. Multiple rival companies had seemed to work together and managed to block their business.
In just a day, the Murray Corporation was as if plagued with an infectious virus. Bad news and rumors about them were still being published. They became notorious. Jamison finally realized that it was no small matter.
“Mr. Murray, Ms. Murray seemed to have upset someone she shouldn’t have this time,” said the secretary as she entered the room hurriedly.
“Explain.”
“I just heard from an old friend that the person Ms. Murray upset was Ms. Jessica from the Ferguson family of Dellmoor.”
Jamison’s face darkened. He staggered a few steps and fainted from his headache.
“Mr. Murray!” The secretary hurriedly ran to him and helped him up.
Jamison slowly woke up. “Quick. Call Hugh Ferguson. Now.” Meanwhile, Hugh was busy knitting something for Jessica.
Brandon walked up to him. “Jamison Murray wants to meet with you.”
“Tell him I’m busy.”
Chapter 535
Brandon stared at the yarn in Hugh’s hands as he nodded. Seems like he’s indeed very busy.
“Don’t worry, Hugh. Go, do what you have to. Jack is here.”
Jack came running over with a plate of fruits as he heard his name. “Don’t worry, Hugh. I’m here,” he reassured.
Staring at Jack, Hugh said, “You’re just a nuisance. Don’t give me more trouble.”
Brandon stared at the brothers with envy and left silently.
Jack sat down beside Jessica. He took a piece of the fruit and fed it to her. “The melon is sweet today,” he said.
Jessica took a bite.
“Yes, it’s indeed sweet.”
“Eat more, then,” Jack urged.
Staring at how Jack was acting around Jessica, Hugh cleared his throat to get his attention.
However, there was no response from Jack at all.
Ahem! Hugh continued.
Jack finally heard Hugh coughing but acted dumb to him. Please don’t come too near if you’re having a cold. You might infect Jess.”
Hugh was rendered speechless by Jack’s reply.
That idiot!
Jessica smiled as she looked at the interaction between Hugh and Jack.
She decided it was best to stay silent and enjoy the drama between them.
Seeing how Hugh was about to give up, Jack smirked.
There’s no way you can win against me!
Yusra entered the room with a plate of snacks at that moment. She couldn’t help but laugh when she saw how her two sons were bickering with each other over Jessica.
“Mom, Dad, I’m back!” Yuliana said as she entered the house.
Yusra greeted her back.
Jack, on the other hand, ignored Yuliana and continued to feed Jessica.
Yuliana noticed what Hugh was doing. She walked up to him and said, “Let me do it.”
“It’s okay.”
Covering her mouth, Yuliana let out a few coughs.
“Are you having a cold?” Hugh asked.
Yuliana was happy to see that Hugh was concerned. “I have some symptoms. Don’t worry. I’m sure that I’ll heal in no time.”
“You should rest upstairs,” Hugh replied. He then turned to look at Jasmine and said, “Get her some cough medicines, please.”
“It’s fine, Hugh,” Yuliana reassured and sat down opposite Jessica happily.
Then she let out a few more coughs.
Hugh frowned as he stole a glance at Jessica. “Go rest upstairs if you’re sick. It’s cold down here.”
Seeing how Yuliana was about to protest, Hugh interrupted her, “Please listen to me.”
“Fine,” Yuliana replied with a pout and went upstairs.
She got to her bedroom and saw a few presents on her bedside table. Although none was from Jack, she still felt happy.
As long as I’m here, I’m still the daughter of the Ferguson family. I deserve everything Jessica has.
However, she felt slightly unhappy about the fact that they were all enjoying themselves downstairs without her.
She hated how they picked Jessica over her, even though she had been in the family for over ten years.
That was an insult to her.
The more Yuliana thought about it, the angrier she felt. She decided to take a good rest and stopped thinking.
Chapter 536
The members of the Murray family were no longer acting- as arrogant as before, as they were in deep trouble.
“What did Mr. Ferguson say?” Jamison asked in a state of panic once he saw his secretary.
Frowning, the secretary replied, “Mr. Ferguson refuses to see you, Mr. Murray.”
“What about the rest?”
The secretary reported truthfully. “I didn’t manage to get hold of Mr. Sebastian. I did speak to Mr. Jack’s manager, but he hung up once I mentioned where I was calling from. It’s obvious that they’re avoiding you.”
“I remember that they have an adopted daughter that Old Mrs. Ferguson likes. Go contact her.”
“Okay.”
Yuliana was deep asleep when her phone rang.
“Who’s this?”
“Hello, is this Yuliana Ferguson?”
“Yes, I am,” Yuliana replied as she took a look at the number on the screen.
“My name is Juliette. I’m the secretary of the CEO of Murray Corporation. Sorry to disturb you today. Mr. Murray would like to have dinner with you, Ms. Ferguson. Would you be able to attend?”
“I’m fully occupied.”
How did they even get my number? I haven’t even heard of that company!
Just as Yuliana was about to hang up, Juliette said hurriedly, “Mr. Murray wants to discuss something regarding Ms. Jessica with you.”
The mention of Jessica’s name caught Yuliana’s attention.
“What’s the matter?”
“I’m not sure myself. Mr. Murray will tell you the details.
However, I do know that it’ll be a piece of good news for you,” Juliette hinted.
“Give me the time and address, then.”
“I’ll message you later.”
Yuliana received a message not long after she hung up.
Meanwhile, the group of three had finally reached Dellmoor. It was a rather quiet day.
“Didn’t you say there would be a lot of people here? Why is it not the case now?”
“I think everyone’s probably back to their hometowns for the holidays,” Aiden replied.
“Wesley, give me the address and photo.”
Wesley then began to search his bag for the items. However, five minutes had passed, and there was still no sign of them.
The other two realized that something was not right.
“What is it now?” Pablo asked.
“I think I lost it,” Wesley said with a frown.
“You lost it?” the other two members exclaimed.
“I have never taken it out after I placed it in this bag. I bet the Chanaean man stole it from me after he bumped into me. He’s such a thief!”
“Damn it!”
Pablo and Roberto each gave Wesley a death stare.
“Do any of you still remember what the girl looks like?” Roberto asked.
Pablo and Wesley looked at each other. No one could remember.
Suddenly, Wesley pointed at a woman walking toward them from the opposite street. “I think she looks like the girl in the photo.”
Pablo and Roberto turned to look at the woman at the same time. She looked like a typical influencer.
“You might be right.”
If Jack heard the conversation, he would be so furious because he would disagree.
“We came to the address we were given. I’m sure it won’t be wrong.”
“I kind of remember the address. It’s at…”
The three of them then made their way to the address that they remembered. Before they even reached the place, they noticed that the security was getting tighter. No one dared to let their guard down, as they knew they could not afford to make any mistakes.
Chapter 537
When they were observing their surroundings, an RV stopped at the housing district. The chauffeur leaned against the door, holding his phone.
“Don’t worry, Mr. Ziegler. I’ll pick up Ms. Ferguson on time. I’m already waiting at the door.”
Pablo understood some English, so when he heard the name “Ms. Ferguson”, he stopped in his tracks and turned to the chauffeur.
Could she be the one that we’re looking for? There’s only one Ms. Ferguson in this area. It seems like our target finally appears.
Pablo quickly went back to his partners and told them what he had just heard.
They pondered and decided to watch the situation.
The three of them hid in the corner and stared at the chauffeur.
Soon they saw a beautiful young lady walk out of the housing district and get in the car.
“Is it her?” Pablo asked.
“I think so.”
“Yeah. She’s from the Ferguson family, and she looks like the one in the picture, so I think it’s her,” Roberto rationalized.
They chose to follow them to a small restaurant in the rural area.
Yuliana got out of the car, and a waiter led her to a lounge. They were the only customers in the restaurant.
Jamison immediately got up and went to greet Yuliana.
“Ms. Ferguson, it’s an honor to meet you!”
Yuliana looked at him indifferently. “Hello.”
Jamison pulled out the chair for her.
“How can I help you?” Yuliana asked, straight to the point.
“No rush, we can talk about it after dinner.” Jamison smiled.
“There is no need for that. I don’t like to eat the food outside. It’s too oily and dirty,” Yuliana replied arrogantly. Jamison felt displeased by her attitude.
Even the adopted daughter looks down on others.
Although Jamison was enraged, he kept his composure well and put on a fake smile.
“I’d like to ask you for a favor, Ms. Ferguson.”
Yuliana was disdained when she heard that.
“What’s that?”
“There’s a misunderstanding between Ms. Jessica and my daughter. I have come to ask for your help to settle it. I won’ t ask you to do it for free, of course.”
Jamison handed her an empty check to prove his sincerity. Although she was the daughter of the Ferguson family, she had limited pocket money. Her heart leaped when she saw the blank check.
Jamison noticed that and smiled. “Ms. Ferguson, all you have to do is to tell Mr. Ferguson that my daughter has learned her lesson and ask him to give us a chance to apologize to Ms. Jessica.”
“That’s all?”
“Yes. That’s all. Help me persuade him, and I’ll reward you after the task is done.”
Yuliana understood.
I’ll be rewarded after I do it.
Chapter 538
“I will think about it.” Yuliana didn’t accept it immediately…
Just then, the waiter served the dishes.
Yuliana took a few bites and declared, “I’ll help you. Just wait for my reply.”
Jamison was delighted and thanked her.
“I have something else to attend to, so I’ll be leaving first.”
“I’ll see you out.”
Jamison opened the door for her.
“Russell, send her back safely.”
The chauffeur patted his chest lightly and answered, “Don’t worry, I’ll make sure Ms. Ferguson is safe and sound.”
Jamison heaved a sigh of relief after the car left.
Hmph, there is nothing that money cannot buy. It’s not a big deal. The Ferguson family is overreacting.
Suddenly, a van dashed out and blocked the road.
Russell got out of the car and walked to the van furiously.
“What’s wrong with you?”
Pablo got out of the van and smiled at the chauffeur.
Russell was stunned when he saw a foreigner.
Just when he was about to speak, Pablo swiftly slashed his neck.
Russell instantly fainted and fell to the ground.
Yuliana was terrified. She immediately locked the door, but it was too late.
Wesley opened the door and dragged Yuliana to the van.
The entire process only took less than three minutes. They did it fast without witnesses around.
She looked at them, frightened.
“Who are you? What do you want?” Yuliana asked.
“So you’re Ms. Ferguson?” Roberto questioned.
Yuliana nodded her head subconsciously, but she immediately shook her head to deny it.
“No, I’m not!”
Her action proved her identity.
“Don’t lie. I know you are Ms. Ferguson.”
“Don’t be afraid. We just want to invite you to a place.”
Yuliana stared at them in panic. “Where?”
“You’ll know when we arrive.”
A chill ran down Yuliana’s spine when she saw their spooky smile.
“Listen, I’m not Ms. Ferguson. Jessica is! I’m just an adopted child. You got the wrong person!”
She told them the Ferguson brothers’ names to gain their trust. At the same time, she asked them to check the numbers on her phone. She even told them to call the people around her to affirm what she had said.
Yuliana’s confidence made them nervous.
They had to bring back Ms. Ferguson, or they would lose their lives.
They glanced at each other and decided to call and ask the people on her contact list.
“Don’t you dare fool me,” Pablo warned.
Yúliana nodded her head. “I won’t.”
She called her best friend.
“Jane, tell me who Ms. Ferguson is.”
“Why are you asking?” Jane was puzzled.
Chapter 539
“My friend doesn’t believe me and keeps saying that I am. Ms. Ferguson. If Jessica knew that, she’d definitely think that I was going to steal her title. Just answer my question,” Yuliana pleaded.
Jane sighed. She felt bad for her.
“Of course, Jessica is Ms. Ferguson. You have her picture on your phone, right? Show it to them!”
Three of them shared a look with each other.
“Show me the picture,” Pablo commanded.
They had seen Ms. Ferguson’s picture before.
Yuliana took out her phone and showed them Jessica’s picture.
“She is the Ms. Ferguson that you’re looking for. I’m just an adopted child. You won’t get anything from me. You should be looking for her instead.”
The three men stared at the picture. She looks exactly the same as the picture we saw before.
They noticed that they got the wrong person, but they didn’t want to let her go. One of them drew a line across their neck.
She understood what that meant and became terrified.
“I can help you get her. You won’t make it without me.”
They secretly discussed it for a while and decided to let her have a chance.
“She has a best friend named Samantha. Use Samantha as the bait, and you’ll get her.”
“Don’t try buying some time for yourself. Ask her out, or we will kill you,” Pablo threatened.
I can’t! If the Ferguson family finds out that she died because of me, they wouldn’t let me off! I need to shift the blame on Samantha!
It will be perfect if I can end Jessica this time because I’ Il be the only Ms. Ferguson then.
Yuliana explained, “I’m not close to her. We’re enemies. She won’t come out if I ask her. You need Samantha to ask her out.”
“Hurry up!”
Yuliana called Samantha.
Samantha frowned and picked up the phone. “What do you want?”
“Sam, I’m Yuliana. I need your help. Could you please come over?” Yuliana asked gently.
“I’m busy.” Samantha rejected it without hesitation.
“It’s about Jessica.” Yuliana quickly added before she hung up the phone.
“Jess?”
“Yes. Someone is trying to hurt her.”
“Who?”
“It’s… It’s your brother, Tobias. I need you to come over right now.”
“Where are you? I’ll be right there.”
Samantha believed when Yuliana said it was Tobias. He was a devil who dared to offend anyone and would do anything to get his way.
Tobias Young! I won’t let you go this time! I’ll tell Uncle Charles and let him teach you a lesson!
When Samantha opened the door to the lounge, she saw no one but Yuliana and two men.
She knew something was wrong and wanted to run away, but it was too late – another burly man blocked her way.
Chapter 540
“There’s no way you can escape.” Pablo smiled and said to her.
Samantha looked at Yuliana and the three men. Without any question, she dashed toward Pablo.
Pablo countered.
The huge impact caused her to take a few steps back. She looked around for weapons, but there was nothing in the hallway. She had no choice but to fight him.
Fuck! I’ll just fight!
Samantha felt dizzy as she was punched by Pablo.
“Stop resisting, kid. You can’t fight me,” Pablo said frivolously.
“How can you be so sure?”
Wesley was getting impatient and urged, “Stop playing, Pablo Haley! Let’s finish this!”
Pablo stood up and clenched his fist.
“Sorry, kid.”
He sprinted toward Samantha and beat her up until she fell to the ground.
The men took both of them in the van and left. They hid in a rural mountain.
When they reached the safe zone, Pablo passed the phone to Samantha and ordered, “Call Jessica to come over.”
Samantha knew they were aiming for Jessica.
I won’t lie to my friend and lead her to danger.
She ignored his words.
Wesley slapped her and threatened, “Listen, if you don’t do what I said, I’ll kill you right now!”
Samantha sneered. “Do it, then.”
“You…” Wesley was pissed off.
Everyone is afraid to die. Those who say they don’t are lying.
Threat those who have never experienced death. Fortunately for you, I am good at dealing with those people.
“You’re tough! Good! I’ll make you live a life worse than death!” Wesley spat out viciously.
He stepped on her ankles, and then Samantha’s left leg broke with a snap.
“Ah!!!” Samantha let out a loud, high-pitched cry. Sweat drenched her body.
Yuliana was frightened. If something happened to Samantha, she would be dead too.
Although she was an illegitimate child of the Young family, she was still one of their family members.
Yuliana advised, “Samantha, do what they say, or you’ll die. You just have to make a phone call. It’s not a big deal.”
Just a call?
Samantha chuckled. I wonder if she is an idiot or pretending to be one. It is obvious that she is feigning confusion.
“Why did you call me out? I know what you’re thinking.” Samantha looked at her coldly. What a shameless girl!
