Chapter 318
Starting with A Divorce novel (Ainsley and Cason)
Chapter 318 Kidnanned Ainsley did not say anything else. She looked around. The phone was still in her hand. Then she put the phone in a place where the driver could not see it and secretly made a phone call.
However, she failed after making two calls. She looked at the screen and discovered there was no signal.
She forgot that there would be no signal on the mountain.
Ainsley was very familiar with this mountain. At that time, Serina tricked her out to watch the fireworks with Manuel on the mountain. Ainsley did not expect that the second time she came over, she would be kidnapped.
She heard the driverâs arrogant laughter, âI advise you to save your strength. No matter what you do, you canât escape. There is no one else on the entire mountain. And there is no signal here.â
Ainsley did not say anything. Instead, she silently memorized the route. It was a round-the-mountain road. She remembered when she looked at her phone at the foot of the mountain, there was still a signal.
Suddenly, Ainsley thought of something and pretended to faint. âIâm so dizzy. Please slow down! Why canât the window open?â
The driver replied impatiently, âShut up! You donât have to know about it. Just endure it when you feel dizzy.â
Ainsley didnât dare to speak again. She was afraid that the driver would slap her violently with impatience.
Soon, the driver stopped the car and knocked her unconscious.
At the same time, the Easton Group was in chaos.
When Matteo received a phone call, he replied with a dark face, âIâll give you the money. Tell me when and where to meet you.â
The man on the phone chuckled, and casually gave an address, âIâll kill her if I canât get the money at five oâclock tomorrow.â
Ainsley had just woken up, and when she heard the kidnapperâs words, she shuddered.
When the kidnapper turned around and saw that Ainsley had woken up, he said, âI advise you to be obedient.
Otherwise, I will cut you in the face. If your face is disfigured, you will be ruined for the rest of your life.â
Ainsley rolled her eyes in her heart when she heard this. She pretended to be calm, saying, âYou just want money, right?â
The man laughed wildly, looking at Ainsley playfully. âDo you think that we only want money?â
We?
Ainsley realized that there were other people. Could it be Irene?
Ainsley had experienced this kind of thing several times. She felt that it was not that simple this time.
On the other hand, Matteo, who had been hung up, was gloomy. He said to the secretary next to him, âGo check the location of the phone call just now and the location where Ainsley disappeared.â
Chapter 318 Where Is She?
Ainsley was brought to the mountain by the driver. When she woke up, she felt sore all over. The coldness.
made her shiver.
The taxi driver did not lock her up. There was no place on the mountain that could withstand the heavy rain.
The man simply set up a canopy and tied Ainsley to the tree.
She was forced to sit at the roots of the tree and the man tied her tightly to the roots with a rope.
The mountain roads that had been washed by the rain were covered in mud, and Ainsleyâs entire body was soaked.
Being on high ground and attacked by the storm, she sneezed several times.
Ainsley wanted to break free, but she couldnât.
âDonât waste your energy.â The man said, wearing a raincoat. He looked at Ainsley mockingly.
He slowly walked in front of Ainsley and squatted down. He took out a cold dagger and slapped Ainsleyâs face with it twice. âDo you know what a hanging knot is?â
Ainsley did not answer and still wanted to break free.
âIt seems that you really donât know. Donât struggle anymore. Donât you realize that the more you struggle, the tighter the rope will be? In the end, Iâm afraid that you will strangle yourself to death.â
Ainsleyâs heart trembled, not daring to move anymore.
There was a canopy, but because of the tree, Ainsley could not hide completely under the canopy. Her back which was pressed against the roots was already soaked.
She felt an unprecedented coldness. âWhat are you trying to do?â
âDonât you know what I want to do? Didnât you hear what I just said clearly? Stop pretending.â
âI mean, what else do you want other than money?â Ainsley continued expressionlessly.
The man smiled playfully. He smoked all year round, so his teeth were full of yellow spots. Ainsley could even see the dental calculus that was left behind by years of chewing food and not cleaning his teeth well.
He was very close to Ainsley, and his breath smell was disgusting.
Ainsley forced herself not to throw up. This kind of person who struggled to survive was probably most sensitive about the dislike of others.
His hand holding the dagger slowly fell down. The man inserted the dagger into the ground and then raised a hand to touch Ainsleyâs cheek.
A chill climbed up Ainsleyâs heart. She stared at the man in disbelief. âDonât you dare!â
âWhat are you afraid of?â The man suddenly laughed, and he looked even more disgusting.
âDonât you dare! I advise you to think it through. If you dare to touch me, I will die in front of you. I guarantee that you will not be able to take a single cent.â Ainsley looked determined, swearing that what she said was not false.
âDo you really think Iâm afraid?â The man suddenly clenched Ainsleyâs chin and raised her head fiercely.
It was a gorgeous face. Unfortunately, her eyes were filled with determination.
âIf not for money, do you think I would tolerate you?â He threw Ainsleyâs face to the side.
Of course, it wasnât all for money. He still remembered his instructions.
Emily had been sitting in a daze after work. She sat in the living room, her hand tightly gripping her phone.
Outside, there was a heavy storm. She knew that Ainsley had already been brought to the mountain.
She was not sure if Matteo would pay, but she had no other choice.
She could not take out the money to compensate, so she could only listen to Irene.
The door was kicked open, and the loud sound made Emilyâs body tremble. She looked at the person in fear. It was actually Matteo.
At this moment, his body was drenched in rain, and his eyes shone with a cold light.
Emily forced herself to calm down. âMatteo, youâre back. I, Iâll go get you a cup of hot tea.â
She picked up the cup on the table in a panic and was about to go to the kitchen when she was grabbed by the wrist the moment she turned around.
âMatteo, you...â
âWhere is she?â Matteo exerted force with his hand, and Emilyâs wrist was pinched until it turned white.
Emily painfully tried to pull her wrist back from Matteoâs hand. âMatteo! I donât know what youâre talking about. Who is she?â
âDonât play dumb. I know that you did this. I didnât argue with you when you stole the proposal and gave it to the Wade Group. You made such a big mistake. Do you think the Easton family will let you go? Before I completely lose my mind, tell me what you did.â Matteoâs eyes were indifferent.
This was the first time Emily had seen this kind of gaze from Matteo. She had never seen Matteo with such a terrifying appearance.
âMatteo, it hurts. Let go of me. I really donât know what you are talking about.â
âMatteo, what are you doing?â
A deafening thunder woke Matteo up. Under the dazzling lightning, he saw Robyn coming.
She quickly walked over and separated their hands. Emily immediately shrank behind Robyn. âMrs. Easton, help me. Matteo is crazy!â
âMom, donât stop me. I have something to ask her.â
âIf you want to ask, just ask. I am here.â Robyn shielded Emily behind herself.
Matteo did not hide anything. He said coldly, âThe one who stole the design of the company and gave it to the Wade Group was Emily. I did not tell anyone else about this. But today, Aisy was kidnapped on the way back. from work. Half an hour ago, the man called me for 50 million dollars.â
He looked at Emily again. âYou did it, right?â
âMatteo! It really wasnât me. Why would I do that? Even if I really wanted to hurt Ainsley, why would I ask for money from you? You are my cousin, and I have always respected you. How could I harm you?â Emily said in a panic.
Robyn nodded in agreement. âMatteo, what Emily said was right. She grew up with you and would never do something like that to hurt you. Plus, she is working at the company now.â
âHeh, Emily, do you really think I donât know? After the recording incident was exposed last time, Irene found you, right? If Iâm not wrong, the price you needed to pay was compensation, or do something for her.â Matteo looked at Emily as if he was looking at a fool.

ï¤Chapter 317 Loveâs Change of Heart ï¤Chapter 872 Emily never thought that Matteo would actually guess everything, but the meeting between her and Irene was very covert. How did he know?
âWhy did I arrange you to a branch company instead of the headquarters? Do you really think that I just wanted you to stay away from me?â What Matteo did not say was that when he arranged for Emily to enter the branch company, he had already asked two people to watch Emilyâs every move.
Coincidentally, they heard Emilyâs conversation in the bathroom that day clearly.
Emilyâs face was pale, but how could she admit it?
âMrs. Easton, I really donât know! Ainsleyâs disappearance has nothing to do with me. You must believe me!â Emily pulled on Robynâs sleeve and cried.
