Chapter 162 Elliott Kidnaps Melissa
Despite the mysterious disappearance of Imperial Financial Group’s four hundred billion dollars, which led to the company’s paralysis and Lawrence R's impending bankruptcy, he was still able to cause trouble for Eternity Jewelry Co., Ltd overnight.
He was Lawrence R, possessing unparalleled power and status in Lymington.
Anxiety filled Elliott’s mind, his eyes bloodshot. His acquisition of Imperial Financial Group became an extravagant hope, as Lawrence R resolved the dispute with the Kingdom Estates overnight.
In contrast, his own the Granger family and Eternity Jewelry Co., Ltd paid a heavy price. He couldn’t allow this; it was the only company left by Cameron. Although small and not of great concern to him, if Triton was also ruined by Lawrence R, then the Granger family would truly have nothing.
Struck like lightning, Elliott headed to Alan's villa early in the morning. "Alan, our four hundred billion...Can I transfer the overseas company's US dollars to myself immediately? I need it urgently to save Triton and fight against Lawrence R!"
Alan's smile changed, "You’ve got it wrong, it's my $400 billion, not yours. Of course, you've been planning revenge for ten years, putting in the effort. As a token of appreciation, I can offer you $10 billion in compensation."
"What?!" Elliott's face turned instantly pale, and he angrily grabbed Alan's collar. He suddenly realized something, "You used me! You also want the Imperial Financial Group!"
Alan dusted off an imaginary speck of dust from his hand, "Naturally you were blinded by hatred and forgot that there's no such thing as a free lunch. With $400 billion in hand, our collaboration should come to an end."
Elliott was escorted out by Alan's bodyguard. A chill ran down his spine; regret washed over him. He had been too impulsive, believing that Alan wanted to help him take revenge against Lawrence R solely because he didn't like his brother. He should have heeded Winnie’s warnings. Alan wasn't a good person!
Now, how could he confront Lawrence R without Alan's funds? Even if he sued, it wouldn't happen so quickly...
Amid his anxious fretting, his phone rang. It was an overseas call, from his family's residence. He answered, and his face changed dramatically, "What did you say? Lena has been kidnapped? By whom? Is it the Rodriguez family?!”
Lawrence R was going all out, kidnapping his daughter!
He aimed to drive Elliott to his death with such ruthlessness.
Elliott was completely panicked now. Lawrence R's speed was too overwhelming, and he had located his daughter.
Cold sweat formed on his forehead, and his hatred pushed him past reason.
Just then, his phone rang again. He answered in a daze, and a strange woman's voice came from the other end, with an eerie smile.
"Mr. Granger, I heard that Lawrence R has taken your daughter captive. With his methods, your daughter's fate is not looking good. But I have a way that could help you stand up to him and maybe even gain control of the Imperial Financial Group."
"Who are you?"
"Who I am doesn't matter. What's important is that I can help you turn the tables."
Elliott was in dire straits, and he would grasp onto any lifeline. He responded coldly, "What's the plan?"
"Lawrence R has a mother who resides in Jasmine Manor. I'll give you her phone number. She is rather fond of Winnie, and you know how to lure her out. Once you kidnap her, you'll have leverage."
Before Elliott could question further, the other party hung up and immediately sent a string of mobile numbers.
Elliott stared at Lawrence R's mother’s phone number, lost in thought. Yet his mind was also consumed by thoughts of his daughter and Winnie, both in the clutches of the devil.
A burning anger and dark determination flickered in his eyes.
He planned to make one final gamble and leave Lawrence R with nothing!
Imperial chief's assistant Jeffery. Jeffery informed Madam Rodriguez of the situation and mentioned that Lawrence was currently at the police station. He also conveyed Darcy's message to release the video of Mr. Taylor's death during the Dazzling Party.
This action would further damage Imperial Jewelry's CEO's reputation and potentially result in his detention for questioning.
Worried about Winnie and Lawrence's safety, Madam Rodriguez instructed Jeffery to keep an eye on Elliott's movements and assist him if necessary.
Meanwhile, at Jasmine Manor, Madam Rodriguez, undergoing treatment, couldn't shake her anxiety the situation. She wondered whether Winnie and Lawrence had reconciled after leaving the house yesterday.
Winnie's uncle approached her saying, "Mrs. Rodriguez, something's wrong. Winnie had an accident. She had a fight with Lawrence R and fell down. The child's in danger, but she's too upset to seek treatment. Please come out and persuade her to come back..."
"What?" Madam Rodriguez coughed up blood heavily upon hearing this.
Yesterday morning, Winnie left Lawrence's bedroom, and she didn't seem to be in a bad mood. Could it be that Lawrence went to look for her, but they didn't reconcile?
Madam Rodriguez sighed with a pale face. She knew there was a major problem between them.
She had heard her son mention that Winnie's uncle had returned to China. She didn't doubt it and immediately called her son.
But Lawrence's phone was just ringing. She vaguely knew that something had happened at the Kingdom Estates company.
What should she do?
Both the baby and Winnie were important.
Without hesitation, Madam Rodriguez, despite the objections from the servants and bodyguards, weakly supported herself and walked out of the heavily guarded villa.
In a hurry, she only brought one servant, Taylor, and a driver.
Halfway, the driver was stopped by people brought by Elliott!
In the dark night, Elliott kidnapped Madam Rodriguez and sped away.
"Aren't you Winnie's uncle? What do you want?" Madam Rodriguez panicked and coughed up blood.
Elliott had initially captured this woman in her fifties, but when he saw the blood on her white handkerchief, he was taken aback.
"You're sick?" Elliott's face changed, and he coldly inquired.
Amid her anxious excitement, Madam Rodriguez kept coughing, attempting to reach for her phone and call her son, but she couldn't steady herself. Her phone fell into the gap in the seat.
In distress, she clutched her chest, tremblingly saying, "I can't leave my oxygen machine. Why would you harm me? What about Winnie? What about Winnie?"
Only then did Elliott see how frail she looked. His face darkened, and he angrily spat on the ground.
Anxiety surged across his face.
"Mr. Granger, she's in this state... Shall we continue..."
"Of course! Stick to the original plan and split our forces!"
The car suddenly veered towards a remote area.
