Chapter 2031
Night of Destiny
In disbelief, Ellen looked at the bespectacled man and heard him say with irritation as he took off his
glasses, âI canât f*cking get used to wearing these.â
Ellen widened her eyes and realized that the accident involving Brook was intentional and it was a
setup for her kidnapping.
At that moment, she heard a man in the front passenger seat making a phone call and saying, âIâve got
the person you wanted. In two hours, you hand over the money, and Iâll hand over the person.â
Just then, Ellenâs cell phone rang, and one of the men rudely opened her bag and grabbed the cell
phone. Ellen saw the name on the screen and struggled excitedly because the caller was Jared..
âDecline it, the leading man ordered. The lackey immediately declined the phone call. Ellen wanted to
kick the van door for help, but she was warned by another man who held her down, âYou little brat, be
obedient if you donât want to die right now.â
Ellen didnât know this group of people at all. It seemed that someone else was behind her kidnapping.
Who is it? Who paid to have me kidnapped?
In the head office of the Presgrave Group, Jared stared at his phone screen. He called again. The call
went through but was terminated on the other end in three seconds. Ellenâs cell phone was turned off
when he called again for the third time.
An ominous feeling instantly enveloped his heart. She hung up on me twice and then turned off her
phone. What happened?
Jared immediately summoned Stanley and told him about this. The latter was also surprised and
asked, âIs Miss Reiss still in the residential area?â
âCall the residential area and see if Ellen has left. Hurry up, Jared ordered. Stanley immediately
investigated. Ten minutes later, the security on the other end responded that Ellen had left the
residential area an hour ago.
âMiss Reiss left the residential area.â âHas she been involved in an accident?â Jared clenched his fists,
and his strong sense of worry surged up. âDid Miss Reiss tell you anything?â
âNo. I think she does not want to bother me because Iâve been busy these past few days,â Jared said.
Then, he instructed Stanley, âContact the police for help. Iâll go back to the residential area.â âOkay!â
Stanley quickly left, not daring to waste a second.
After receiving the phone call, Gavin grabbed a bag and left his home. He saw the security guards from
the Presgrave Group, who were still monitoring him. So, he approached them and knocked on the car
window to say, âYou can go back now. Iâm just going for a ride.â
The security guards were startled. They had received orders from Presgrave Group to ensure that
Gavin would not do anything that would harm the company. However, now that they saw him with a bag
planning to go out to relax, they decided to return to the company.
However, Gavin did not notice a black SUV parked in an inconspicuous location nearby. These were
Jaredâs bodyguards. Gavin was an uncertain factor. With only the companyâs security guards
monitoring him, Jared could not relax. Ultimately, he assigned two more of his bodyguards to watch
over Gavin.
After the companyâs car left, Gavin walked towards his car and drove out of the parking lot. He went to
a small forest on the outskirts because he had decided to hold a posthumous marriage ceremony
there. He wanted to use Ellen as a sacrifice for his son. He had already lost all hope and only wanted
to die quickly. Therefore, he was willing to do even the cruelest things.
âJason, Daddy is here. Wait a little longer, and I will see you in another world. Oh, I also brought a
beautiful bride for you,â Gavin muttered in the car.
He did not notice the black car following him. When Jared returned home, he found that Ellen had
bought some household items but had not yet unpacked them. She probably left in a hurry.
Jared tried hard to think whom Ellen cared most about now. She had already stopped contact with
Connor, so her chess master, Brook, was probably the one she cared about the most.
