Chapter 14

Chapter14 The hallway of Glacier Hotel. Esme looked at Eliza, who was unconscious now, with a cold gaze. She sneered.

“I thought she‘d be good at martial arts since she‘s been working at Parson Media as a stunt–woman for a while. I guess I‘ve overestimated her abilities.”

“Ms. Lawson, what should we do now?”

The burly men who had just kidnapped Eliza asked in a low voice.

“Send her to room 1102, Michael Lewis will be there soon.”

“Roger that.”

They dragged Eliza to the room beside them instantly.

Suddenly, a jade pendant fell out of her pocket.

The jade pendant seemed really dazzling under the warm lights of the hallway.

Esme frowned and went over to pick up the jade pendant. “Did that drunkard give Eliza this pendant?”

She snorted and put it in her pocket.

Before she turned 18. Esme had seen this jade pendant before while living with Luca. O Luca had told Esme unintentionally that the pendant would lead her to her mother one day. Besides, he also said that her mother wasn‘t just any ordinary woman.

When Esme left the slums to her real family, she wanted to take the pendant with her, but she couldn‘t find it anywhere.

She didn’t expect Luca to give that pendant to Eliza.

She snorted again.

“So you want to find your mother, Eliza Lawson?”

“Dream on!” Esme thought.

“Ms. Lawson.”

After a while, Michael walked into the room. He was a half–bald man with a beer belly. “Is she here? Are you sure that the Valentine family isn‘t aware of this?”

“Don‘t worry.”

Esme smiled smugly. “I‘m sure Eliza is happy to serve you. She‘s not really that important in the Valentine family anyway. Nobody would give a d*mn about her disappearance.” Since Mr. Valentine had a brutal nature, he wouldn‘t send bodyguards to follow and protect Eliza. Even if he did ask someone to follow her, Eliza would still do her best to shake them off her trail.

After all, Esme was sure that Eliza wouldn‘t want the public to know that her biological father was a drunkard.

Before this, Esme had expected Eliza to send money to Luca. That was why she sent some people to abduct her near Luca‘s house. “Okay then!”

“Thank you so much, Michael.”

Esme smiled smugly and said, “I won‘t waste your time any longer. Please go in and enjoy yourself.”

Michael smiled wickedly and walked inside.

As Esme watched Michael‘s back disappearing into the room, she smiled contemptuously and turned to leave.

Since the hotel‘s door lock was custom–made and the room was soundproof, she wasn‘t worried that Eliza might escape.

Besides, Eliza should thank her.

Not only did that fire ruin Mr. Valentine‘s appearance and personality, but it had also made him an impotent man.

The reason he tortured his past fiancés was that he couldn‘t have sex with them!

Although Michael was a little old, he was still useful at least.

The Valentine family‘s villa.

In the study, a multinational video conference was being held.

Beau was sitting at his desk. Frowning, he was listening to a French woman describing the company‘s latest business proposal.

The entire meeting was solemn. Even though it was just a video conference, the atmosphere was still really suffocating.

“Bang!” someone pushed the door forcefully.

Demarion rushed inside nervously. “Daddy, mommy is in danger!”

The conference fell silent instantly.

Everyone on the other end of the video stared at Beau with shocked expressions.

When did their boss have a wife?

Beau didn‘t move an inch. “What‘s wrong?”

“When Braint was calling mommy just now, she screamed and we couldn‘t get ahold of her anymore!”

“No one answered the phone when I called again!”

Demarion‘s expression turned red from anxiety. He grabbed Beau‘s hand frantically. “Daddy, you have to save mommy now!” “She might have been kidnapped!”

“What if they bully her!”

He tugged at Beau with all his might. “You have to help her now!”

Beau frowned.

Although Demarion was a mischievous child, he wouldn‘t lose his cool that easily.

It seemed like something major had really happened.

Beau stood up and strode out the door with Demarion in his arms.

Scanned with CamScanner 18.21 m Noticing that their boss had left abruptly, the participants in the conference were extremely confused. They didn‘t know whether they should end the meeting or wait for Beau to come back.

Braint climbed onto Beau‘s chair and picked up the microphone. Frowning, he said seriously, “Due to the rise of some unprecedented issues in our household, my father is currently away to save my mother.

With that, the meeting is adjourned for the day.” I After that, Braint exited the meeting politely and turned off the computer.

All of a sudden, all the representatives of Puskia burst into an uproar.

“I can‘t believe that Mr. Valentine has a wife now!”

Beau, the workaholic, had actually postponed the meeting because of his wife!

“According to Mommy‘s phone signal, I found her location before she disappeared.”

Near the alleyway of the slums, Braint was typing on the computer at a fast pace while wearing headphones.

“Mr. Valentine, I‘ve found madam‘s mobile phone.”

Quickly, Beau‘s subordinate passed Eliza‘s phone to him.

The screen of the old mobile phone was broken into pieces.

Beau paused for a moment. Then, he threw the phone into the trash can. “I‘ll buy a new phone for mommy!” Demarion, who was sitting at the passenger seat, took out his tablet and started scrolling through an online shopping platform.

Looking at their surrounding environment, Braint frowned slightly and asked, “Why did mommy come here?”

This place was a long way from Parson Media.

Beau, who was sitting beside Braint, was typing on the keyboard at a fast pace. “She‘s at Glacier Hotel at the moment.”

Braint hugged his small laptop and looked up at his father. “How did you know that mommy is at Glacier Hotel?”

“There are no surveillance cameras in the alley, but there are a lot of them outside.”

“The footage led us to Glacier Hotel.”

Beau was a man with a few words, but he was willing to explain everything to his son.

Braint slapped his forehead. “I see. Daddy, you‘re so observant!”

He only thought about searching for his mother‘s whereabouts from her phone signal, but he totally forgot about the surveillance cameras on the streets.

Besides…

“Daddy, you finished scanning through the camera footage within such a short period of time?” Braint looked up and asked.

Beau nodded and got out of the car. “You two should go home first. I will take the bodyguards with me.”

Braint nodded. Since they were both young children, they would just be in the way if they tagged along.

“Daddy. you have to make sure mommy is safe and sound!”

Scanned with CamScanner 18:21 “I‘ll try my best.”

Beau got into another car and sped towards Glacier Hotel.

It had already been more than half an hour since Eliza was kidnapped. He was worried that something bad might actually have happened to her.

“Slam!”

The smell of blood overwhelmed them the moment they kicked down the door.

The white sheets of the hotel bed were stained red. Eliza, who was covered in blood, was lying on the big bed. Her clothes were disheveled, and she had a pale complexion. Beau‘s eyes widened in shock.

“Everyone, close your eyes and turn away!” Almost instantly, the bodyguards behind him closed their eyes and turned their faces away. Beau walked into the room with heavy steps. The smell of blood became stronger with every step he took. Finally, he stood still in front of her and reached out to touch her hand. He said with a trembling voice, “Eliza...”

This was the first time for him to call out to her like that. He didn‘t expect that it would happen at a time like this.
