Douglas’ eyes were full of malice. He didn’t expect that Stephanie would embarrass him.

He put down his legs, leaned forward, and said in a low voice, “Don’t talk nonsensel”

Stephanie said, “Then, why are you here?”

“I have a friend. “Douglas said.

“An imaginary friend?” She laughed

Douglas felt like killing her. He gritted his teeth and said, “I’m going to other places for treatment.”

When Stephanie was about to refuse, two men in suits walked up to her and put a dagger against her back.

With a satisfied smile: Douglas said, “Dr. Summer, I don’t want to hurt you.”

“Are you threatening me?” Stephanie narrowed her eyes.

Douglas smirked.

“Do you think you can trap me in this way?” Stephanie scoffed.

Douglas raised his chin, and a man in suit stood behind Charlton Brando, the boss of Harmony Healthcare Hub. Charlton’s face went pale instantly.

“Your presence shows the boss knows you well. Come with me if you don’t want him hurt. Do you understand?” Douglas said.

Charlton looked at Stephanie and shook his head, “I’m fine.”

Stephanie understood Charlton. He wanted her to leave him alone and run away.

Her face darkened as she said, “Don’t touch him. I’ll go with you.”

Douglas smiled wickedly and added, “You should have done it earlier to avoid injuring innocent people. Hand over the communication device, and don’t try any tricks!”

“I didn’t bring any,” Stephanie said.

Douglas gestured to the man in suit. “Check her pocket.”

The man in the suit nodded after checking. “There is only a set of silver needles with her, and there is no communication device.”

Douglas stood up. “Take her away!” Then, he turned around and walked toward the door.

Before Stephanie was taken away, she nodded at Charlton and assured him to rest easy

The man in suit ushered Stephanie into a van with tinted windows. Once inside, her hands were bound behind her back, and a blindfold was placed over her eyes

Stephanie didn’t expect that Douglas would kidnap het.

In her previous life, she had always thought that he was the best man in the world.

“He would have to bear the consequences for kidnapping me today. I’m intent on giving this disgusting couple a miserable ending in this life. There’s no time like today. Douglas, just wait and seel she thought.

At the same time, Giovanni, wearing a baseball cap, entered Harmony Healthcare Hub and spotted a man in a suit standing beside Charlton while the

latter appeared grave.

Realizing that something was wrong. Giovanni went to the counter and said, “Mr. Brando, can you give me some medicinal herb?”

The man in suit said coldly. “The shop is closed. Come back tomorrow.”

“What time is it now? Hurry up! I need it urgently!” Giovanni persisted.

The man stared at him and said in a low voice, “Do you want to die?”

Giovanni sneered. “I’m not scared of you. If you don’t come out, I’ll come in!”

Before the man in suit could react, Giovanni leaped over the counter. He aimed punches at the man’s face, but the man quickly brandished a knife.

Charlton ran away, and Giovanni fought with the man in suit.

The man in suit had driven away all the earlier customers, leaving only three of them in the shop.

Giovanni kicked the man in suit in the chest, and the latter flew out.

Charlton smashed the man in the face with a scale.

The man’s nose bled in an instant.”

Giovanni stepped on the man’s chest and looked at Charlton. “Where is Summer?”

Charlton said anxiously, “Summer was taken away by this man’s boss!”

Giovanni realized that Douglas had kidnapped Stephanie..

He stepped harder. “Tell me! Where did they take her?”

The man in suit shut his mouth. Giovanni stamped his foot hard, and the man passed out.

He looked at Charlton and said, “Call the police now. I’m going to find Summer!”

Charlton nodded. “Okay.”

Giovanni quickly returned to the car and searched for Stephanie’s phone. Her phone was less than 109 yards from them.

He exited the car and followed the signal, only to find Stephanie’s phone in the car.

He located Douglas and intended to chase after him. However, upon further consideration, he deemed that Vincent should deal with Douglas. Vincent might also take the chance to rid the Fletcher family of its s c u m.

Giovanni went into a phone repair shop and bought a new phone card. Then, he used that card to call Vincent.

Meanwhile, in a private room at Millennium Hotel, everyone was raising their glasses and chatting with one another.

Vincent cast a look at the vibrating phone on the table. It was an unfamiliar number.

He answered it.

The person had used a voice changer. “Douglas kidnapped Dr. Summer in a suburban mansion.”

Then, the call was disconnected.

Vincent’s face darkened, and his lips pressed into a straight line.

The noisy private room instantly quieted down.

“Mr. Fletcher, what happened?” someone asked.

Yes, if you need any help, just tell us,” another echoed.

Vincent contemplated the authenticity of the phone call and decided to believe it rather than take any chances. He glanced at Zane beside him.

Zape immediately understood and wheeled Vincent out of the private room.

Vincent told Zane about the call, and the latter immediately mobilized individuals to head to the suburban mansion.

me, Stephanie was taken to a room in

in a suburban mansion.

At the same time,

Douglas raised his chin, and the cloth covering Stephanie’s eyes was taken off.

Stephanie looked around and found that that was the place where Douglas and Florence had slept together.

“Tell me, what did you do to me?” he asked.

“How can you blame the doctor for the patient’s problem?” Stephanie retorted.

Douglas grabbed her by the neck and said, “You’re so stubborn. You better cure me now, or else I’ll kill you.”

“Okay. But will you let me go after I cure you?” Stephanie smiled.

“Of course!” Douglas let go of his grip.

“Then, lie down on the bed, take off your shirt and suit pants, and I’ll give you an acupuncture session,” Stephanie said.

Douglas took off his tie, shirt, and suit pants and lay on the bed.

Stephanie’s hands were u untied. She moved her wrists to ease t

the stiffness before retrieving the needle pouch. Then, she commenced acupuncture on

Douglas.

Douglas warned, “Don’t play tricks, or I’ll kill you.”

Stephanie said okay, while at the same time inserting silver needles into Douglas’ body.

Douglas felt warmth spreading throughout his body, particularly on his manhood.

Half an hour later, Stephanie pulled out the needle, saying, “You will need another acupuncture session.”

Douglas snorted. “You must cure me today.”

“That’s impossible. There’s no disease that can be cured with only one acupuncture session,” Stephanie said.

After donning his clothes, Douglas motioned to the man in suit and said, “All right, but just in case you try any tricks or we can’t find you, you’ll need to leave something behind.”

“What do you mean?” Stephanie narrowed her eyes.

Douglas smirked. “I mean we will have to take a photo of you before letting you go.”
