Chapter 717 Kill Without Mercy
Adeline had been kidnapped!
Brandon was so furious he almost stood up from his wheelchair.
"This place is supposed to be secure. How the hell did they take her?"
The waiter, shaking under Brandon's glare, crumpled to the floor.
"They told me to check the restroom... I saw a bunch of bodyguards at the entrance... and then I found Miss Wilson's dress on the sink..."
The waiter held up the dark blue dress with trembling hands. "Miss Wilson... she's gone."
Brandon nearly lost it at those words.
How could Adeline be kidnapped now?
He bit his lip, his eyes cold and murderous. "Find her! It must be Jasper. They can't have gone far!"
As soon as Brandon finished speaking, the security guards burst in.
"Mr. Torres, Jasper just rammed through our barricade with his car and injured our men. He's left. Our bodyguards are already chasing him with three cars. Should we send more?"
Brandon narrowed his eyes. "Yes! As many as we can!"
Jasper dared to kidnap Adeline on his turf? He must have a death wish.
If Jasper wanted to die, Brandon would gladly oblige.
The night was stormy, rain pouring down relentlessly.
Jasper, exhausted and barely conscious, drove his black Maserati in circles around the outskirts of Oceancrest City.
He was alone in the car. Although he hadn't kidnapped Adeline, he knew who did.
At the engagement party, he had seen Mia, always in her signature red dress.
She was too conspicuous to miss.
When Jasper saw Mia, she saw him too.
Their eyes met, and Mia pointed at a photo of Adeline, smiling at him.
At the time, Jasper didn't understand what Mia meant.
He thought she was mocking him for failing to protect Adeline.
But when he heard the commotion about Adeline being kidnapped, he understood Mia's message.
So he drove his car through Brandon's barricade, injuring his men.
He wanted Brandon to think he had taken Adeline, so Brandon's men would chase him.
Otherwise, Mia and her skilled team wouldn't be able to escape with Adeline from Brandon's territory.
Gripping the steering wheel tightly, Jasper forced himself to stay alert, leading Brandon's men in circles through the rain.
Mia needed more time to get Adeline away.
They wouldn't find Adeline.
With this belief, Jasper kept driving, leading Brandon's furious convoy in the rain for nearly an hour.
After an hour, Brandon sensed something was wrong.
Sitting in the living room of the Torres Mansion, he stared at the red dot on the computer screen.
Jasper had been circling the outskirts for three laps.
Jasper wasn't stupid. He knew his car would run out of gas, leading to a dead end.
If Adeline were in the car, he wouldn't keep circling.
Brandon narrowed his eyes and lowered his voice. "Pull up the surveillance near Crystal Heights Resort. He must have an accomplice!"
He had been too angry, focusing only on chasing Jasper, forgetting he might have help.
His men quickly pulled up the surveillance footage.
But there were too many people at the engagement party tonight.
After Brandon's men went after Jasper, the engagement scene descended into chaos.
He slammed his fist on the table in frustration.
After a long pause, he looked at his assistant. "How's the Phoebe family?"
His engagement had failed, but Daisy's plan should have succeeded.
Jasper was busy driving in circles; he wouldn't have time to interfere with the Phoebe family.
The assistant nodded. "The Phoebe family's stock has recovered and is operating normally."
Hearing this, Brandon finally exhaled, just as Daisy called.
She exclaimed anxiously, "Brandon, I failed."
Brandon frowned. "The Phoebe family's stock has..."
"It wasn't my doing." Daisy sat in her bedroom, devastated. "It was Oliver. He detained the people I sent to track Jasper, then took on the Foster family himself. In the end, the Phoebe family's stock recovered. But all the credit goes to him."
She glanced at Lester and others tied up in the rain outside. "Not only that... I might be punished."
Brandon hung up, feeling conflicted.
Failed!
Everything had failed!
The plan he and Daisy had worked on for so long perfecting ultimately failed!
He didn't marry Adeline or regain his standing in the Torres family.
Daisy didn't earn Howard's trust or become the Phoebe family's leader.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at the red dot still circling the outskirts.
It was all Jasper's fault!
If he hadn't tricked Adeline into forgiving him and staying, would things be like this?
In one night, Jasper had stopped his engagement to Adeline and handed Daisy's opportunity to Oliver!
Furious, Brandon picked up his phone and called the bodyguards chasing Jasper.
"Keep chasing. Shoot to kill!"
"Yes, sir!"
After hanging up, the bodyguards continued the pursuit in the rain.
Jasper maneuvered through the storm, evading gunfire as best as he could, but he was nearing his limit. He couldn't dodge them all. Several hit their mark, one burrowing into his right shoulder and another into his left leg. His right arm and left leg were growing numb, refusing to respond.
Jasper knew Brandon was serious.
He couldn't help but smile.
The more desperate Brandon was, the more it proved they hadn't found Adeline.
Taking a deep breath, Jasper used his last bit of strength to drive off the outskirts.
The cars followed closely.
With nowhere to hide in the rain, Jasper spotted a large dumpster by the roadside and drove towards it.
