Chapter 102
Noah wrote back, “Everything is working well.”
“It worked? Madeline should be quite smart. How could she be so easily fooled? You only drank two glasses of juice. You don’t even smell like alcohol, and she believed you are drunk? This is unbelievable! How did you do it? Tell me!”
“I’m going to sleep. Don’t disturb me!”
“Hey! Noah, you can’t do this to me. I’m the one who gave you the idea. I can’t sleep if you won’t tell me.” Dylan sent the text but there was no longer a blue tick.
Instead, he saw the following words, “This number is not in your contacts, do you want to add it to your contacts?” Noah had blocked him.
Dylan whispered to himself. “Darn you, Noah!”
Meanwhile, Angie was tied up and thrown into an old warehouse. Then, she was woken up by a splash of cold water.
She was terrified by her unfamiliar surroundings. “What is this place? Who are you? Why did you capture me here? Do you know that this is illegal?”
It was embarrassing for Angie because she was wearing a short skirt and her underwear could be seen.
“Oh, Ms. Angie. You are quite knowledgeable about legal matters.”
A chill ran down Angie’s spine when she heard the familiar voice.
“Asher? It’s you?” Angie called his name. Then, she saw Asher’s fractured arm. She was so nervous as she gulped.
“I didn’t expect this. What an honor it is to be remembered by you, Ms. Angie!”
“What do you want? Isn’t it just an arm? You're not going to drop this, aren’t you? I wouldn’t have done it if you hadn’t offended me first.”
Angie’s words irritated Asher. He approached Angie and grabbed her neck with a hideous look on his face.
“Just an arm? Do you know? Since I lost my arm, my life has been ruined. No one in Imperia would hire me. I’m unemployed now! I’m only in my thirties, and you ruined my life! Shouldn’t I get my revenge on you?” Asher complained like a madman as he choked Angie.
When Angie thought she was going to die soon, Asher suddenly let go of her and threw her aside.
Angie coughed and finally calmed down after some time. She was no longer feeling scared after she escaped death. She knew Asher did not want her dead, so she could easily deal with him.
“Asher, you abducted me here just for money, right?” Angie calmed herself down and asked.
Asher was stunned and started to laugh.
"You're pretty smart.”
“Tell me. How much money do you want? Since you kidnapped me, I’m sure you already know that I’m Jerry’s fiancée. You are just trying to make a quick buck. There’s no need to make this unpleasant.”
“I have no income because of you. I want a million dollars, so I can live the rest of my life without worries. I’m sure that’s not asking for too much. Isn’t it?”
“A million dollars? You might as well rob a bank.” Angie thought it was a joke. Where could she find a million dollars now?
Jerry’s pocket was empty.
“If you can’t give me a million dollars, I have no choice but to get rid of you.”
“Are you going to kill me? Asher, how dare you!”
“Let me be frank with you. Someone put a price on your head. If I can’t get a million dollars, 300 thousand dollars work for me too.” Asher said honestly.
Asher’s life had been a mess recently. He spent his days in bars with gangsters and had squandered away most of his savings. His life no longer had any purpose. Then, someone asked him to take Angie’s life. It made his life interesting again. How could he reject the chance of getting revenge and making money at the same time?
“Who is it? Who wants me dead?”
“Since you are going to die soon, I don’t mind telling you. The person who wants you dead is Mrs. Lowe, your future mother-in-law.”
Angie was shocked to hear Asher’s answer. She was planning to ask Jerry to get money from his family if all else fails. She was sure Jerry would not want to see her dead because he had nott had enough fun with her yet.
However, the person who wanted her dead turned out to be the old woman in the Lowe family. Angie could not understand why Mrs. Lowe wanted her dead just because she failed to control her son.
Angie was anxious when she saw the people around her start tying sandbags on her. She begged for her life, “No! Don’t kill me! You just want money, right? I’ll pay you!”
“Oh? Miss Angie, do you think I’m a fool? The whole Imperia knows about the Grant family’s bankruptcy. Even your mother had to sell her body to feed herself, and you said you can give me a million dollars? What a joke!”
Asher did not believe her. He waved his hands and asked the gangsters to speed up.
The gangsters got Asher’s order and put Angie in a sack. They carried her and took her outside the warehouse. There was a cliff around the warehouse. Angie would be dead if she was thrown down the cliff. When tied with sandbags and rocks, her body would sink into the ocean. It would take at least a month for her body to be discovered. Asher and his gang would have already escaped with the money by then.
“I have no money, but Madeline does. She was also involved in causing your fractured arm, right? She’s wealthy. Forget a million dollars. She could easily pay you ten million dollars. Let me go and I’ll help you kidnap Madeline. We can turn our lives over when we are both rich. Isn’t that better?”
Angie suggested in a hurry. Her current situation was all because of Madeline. If she was going to die, she would drag Madeline down with her.
“Is that woman really that rich?” Asher was tempted.
“Of course. Do you know why the Grant family is bankrupt? She cheated all the money. Also, I saw her taking more than ten million dollars from Noah at the hospital last time.” Angie, who was inside the sack, persuaded Asher.
“Boss. Madeline is with Noah. We can’t afford to offend her…” One of Asher’s lackeys reminded him.
“You don’t win in life by playing it safe. When we get the money, we will get rid of the woman as well. No one will be able to find us. We will still be able to live easy lives in peace in the future.” NôvelDrama.Org owns this.
Angie worried that Asher would change his mind, so she kept brainwashing him.
“Put her down and take her inside.” Asher finally decided to take Angie’s suggestion.
“Boss, are you really going to listen to this woman? Every one of us will be dead if we offend Mr. Noah.”
“Cowards, get lost! Stay with me if you want to make a killing!” Shouted Asher furiously.
