Chapter 426
Boss, Your Wife's Asking For A Divorce, Again
Chapter 426 Itâs Too Late After the spine-chilling threat, Sonia didnât dare to even move a muscle. Noticing her obedience, the kidnappers stopped threatening her and eased up on her. The next moment, she felt herself being lifted in the air, and she guessed she was being dragged into the van. Just like she expected, she immediately dropped to the ground as soon as the hands that were grabbing her ankles released her.
The vinyl sensation of car seats told her that she was in the backseat of a vehicle. At that moment, even her heart reacted to the dire situation by raising her pulse rate. Am I in a van now? Man, I canât believe Iâm being taken away by these people. At the thought of that, Sonia immediately shivered in fear because she didnât want to be taken away by some strangers to some place she didnât know. After all, it could end up terribly for her if she was taken to some remote and desolate place. I must run for my life! She sat bolt upright when those words showed up in her mind.
Nevertheless, Soniaâs plan was quickly thwarted by the grim reality when one of the kidnappers twisted her arm and restrained it right behind her back before pinning her on the seat. Feeling her skin rubbing against the rough cushion, she moaned in pain. âOuch! Let go of me!â
Needless to say, Soniaâs words were ignored by her abductors, who then sealed her mouth with duct tapes. At that moment, Sonia could no longer talk like she did earlier. Soon, one of the kidnappers said, âThat should do it. Now, letâs tie her up with the rope and get out of here before trouble catches up with us. The cops can be here anytime soon.â
âI know.â The other abductor responded just when Sonia felt her legs being bound by ropes.
On the other hand, Wanda endured the intense pain she suffered from the fall and got back on her feet to save Sonia from the van. However, she underestimated her own injury, as she was quite badly hurt from the fall. As soon as she tried to get up, she staggered backward and fell on her backside, hurting her tailbone in the process and aggravating her injury.
Knowing she was unable to save Sonia by herself in her current condition, she turned her attention to the people around her and begged them to do something. âPlease save her, everyone! Please save Miss Reed! Iâll make sure Young Master Toby repays your kind favor! Donât let them take her away!â
Since the two kidnappers were greatly outnumbered by the witnesses around them, Wanda believed that they could have saved Soniaâs life if they had interfered together. However, she forgot about the timid and indifferent nature among people in the modern unforgiving society as she realized they were just watching a show.
After all, they all backed away when they heard Wandaâs plea for them to step in and rescue Sonia. Some of them even left the scene, clearly showing their reluctance to help Sonia. Despite their sympathy for Soniaâs fate, they didnât feel obligated to rescue her because they didnât want to get themselves hurt. Deep down, they were all selfish for valuing their own lives more than that of the others.
In the meantime, Wanda felt an icy chill surging through her body when no one from the crowd was willing to lend a helping hand. Filled with disappointment and frustration, she pointed at them with her shaking finger. âYou... How could you...â
As Wanda pointed at those people, they all turned around and avoided her gaze guiltily because they were also aware of their own indifference. In the end, Wanda could only watch the van leave as she sat on the floor and cried with a broken heart, blaming herself for failing to stop Soniaâs kidnap.
âPresident Fuller, it looks like something is going on up ahead. There is a huge crowd of people for some reason,â Tom commented as he set his eyes on the crowd in Tobyâs Maybach.
In the meantime, Toby, who was never a busybody, somehow had a bad feeling at the sight of the crowd. Thus, when Tom was about to open the car door for Toby after pulling up not far away from the crowd, the latter exited the vehicle by himself. Then, he squinted at those people. âPlease check out whatâs going on.â
âWhat?â Tom felt surprised with what Toby told him to do because he knew his boss was not a busybody, which was why he overreacted upon hearing Tobyâs words. However, he didnât ask Toby why he wanted him to find out what was going on with the crowd. Instead, he did as he was instructed and walked toward the crowd of people.
As Tom approached the crowd, he heard murmurs mentioning a van with two kidnappers. Thus, he was able to quickly draw a brief conclusion about what was going on based on those words. Someone has been kidnapped and taken away in a van. Who would be so gutsy to pull off an abduction outside the hospital in broad daylight? Just when Tom was about to return to Toby to tell him what he learned, he suddenly heard a familiar cry that would change the look on his face.
Is that... Wandaâs voice? Wait a second! Without a moment of hesitation, Tom turned around and weaved through the crowd to confirm his suspicion.
On the other hand, Toby, who saw the sudden change in Tomâs facial expression, was quickly overwhelmed by a strong feeling of anxiety. In the end, he gave in to his curiosity and walked toward the crowd to find out more for himself.
At the same time, Tom had successfully made it to the center of the crowd, where he saw Wanda lying on her belly tearfully in a seemingly injured state. In that instant, his blood ran cold while Wanda cried helplessly amidst the murmurs of discussion about a kidnap incident.
Therefore, Tom was sure that Sonia had been kidnapped because Wanda was supposed to accompany her for her check-up. Hence, now that Sonia was nowhere to be found around Wanda, his suspicion was the only logical explanation for her disappearance.
âWanda!â Tom shouted out to the lady.
When Wanda heard the manâs voice, she stopped crying for a moment and looked up, turning her attention to the direction she was called. At the sight of Tom, she shouted, âTom, please hurry up and save Miss Reed! Someone took her!â

ï¤Chapter 1211 Ending Oh my gosh! My suspicion is correct. Tom took a deep breath and was about to say something but was soon interrupted by an angry voice. âWhat did you just say? Sonia was taken?â
It turned out that Toby had weaved through the crowd and happened to overhear Wandaâs words, unbeknownst to both of them. Sonia has been kidnapped. No wonder I had this strange bad feeling when I saw the crowd.
âYoung Master Toby...â Wanda felt ashamed to face Toby because she reckoned she had failed her responsibility to look after Sonia as he told her to.
Now that Sonia was gone, she knew that she had let Toby down and lost his trust.
Meanwhile, Toby had no idea what Wanda was thinking, but apparently, he had no intention of finding it out either. Instead, he walked up to Wanda and asked with a cold voice, âYou said Sonia was taken. Who took her away?â
âI donât know.â Wanda shook her head. âI only saw two muscular guys who looked especially intimidating. I bet they must be the muscle for someone in the underworld. They came and took Miss Reed away with a van.â
âVan?â Toby asked with a cold voice as he set his eyes somewhere across the road. âWhere did the van go? Did you see the license plate number?â
âIt went that way, but I donât know about the license plate number because the van doesnât have one,â Wanda answered.
âAlright, I heard you,â Toby replied and weaved through the crowd, hastily making for the car before he hit on the gas pedal and drove off.
