Chapter 184
"Uncle, did you watch the news? The Green Group went bankrupt," Elizabeth took a sip of water and looked up at Charles.
Charles was looking at a contract on his phone, frowning, and responded absentmindedly, "What?"
"Was it your doing?" Elizabeth couldn't help but ask Charles.
Charles looked up at Elizabeth again, "What?"
"Was it your doing?" Elizabeth asked again.
Charles finalized the contract, turned off his phone, and smiled at Elizabeth, "Of course, I have my ways!"
He pointed to the contract on his phone, clearly talking about something different from what Elizabeth mentioned, "There's a reason I've come this far, you know?"
Elizabeth smiled, "You are really impressive."
Charles was about to say something else when his phone rang.
Elizabeth took a sip of tea and heard Charles exclaim, "What? Now? Is it serious?"
He suddenly stood up, and Elizabeth quickly put down her cup. 'Who got into trouble?'
Charles said he'd be there right away and hung up the phone.
"One of the company's artists fell from the wire during filming. I'm heading to the hospital," Charles got up and walked out, not daring to linger.
Elizabeth blinked, and Charles left decisively.
Looking at the empty dining table, Elizabeth sighed. She was left alone again.
Thinking about what happened during the day, Elizabeth lost her appetite. After finishing her water, she decided to go home.
Just as she reached the restaurant entrance, a black car stopped in front of her.
Elizabeth was about to walk around the car when two men got out and came straight at her.
Elizabeth didn't even have time to run before she was pushed into the car by the two men.
"Stay still!" a man shouted.
Elizabeth frowned, and as soon as she got in the car, her mouth was covered!
The man in the passenger seat glanced back, looked Elizabeth up and down, and was astonished, "She's a beauty."
Elizabeth frowned tightly and kicked the back of the seat. 'Who were these people? Why were they kidnapping me?'
"Don't move!" Someone next to her pressed down on her leg.
Elizabeth had no choice but to quiet down and then carefully observe the people around her.
It was a black van, with five people including the driver.
They were all dressed in black, looking fierce and not easy to deal with.
Elizabeth's hands were tied with a rope, and she heard someone ask, "Should we just throw her into the sea?"
"That's the order from above, just follow it!"
Elizabeth's eyelashes trembled. When she heard that they were going to throw her into the sea, her heart skipped a beat.
Years ago, to save Alexander, she was thrown into the sea and almost lost her life.
If they threw her into the sea again, she might not survive even half a minute!
She was terrified of the deep sea.
She still clearly remembered the suffocating feeling of being submerged in the deep sea, with the fear and helplessness!
"She's so pretty, isn't it a waste to just drown her?" someone asked.
"Do you want to sleep with her? Take a good look, she's the daughter of the Percy family, Alexander's wife!"
"I'm going to kill her anyway, why should I care whose wife she is?" the man answered arrogantly.
Elizabeth's chin was suddenly grabbed, and a somewhat decent-looking man's face came into view.
The man stared at her, as if admiring a piece of art, and sighed, "You are really beautiful, much prettier than that woman!"
Elizabeth was puzzled, 'which woman? Was it who I thought it was?'
The man suddenly removed the gag from Elizabeth's mouth and teased, "Call me darling."
Elizabeth choked, breathing heavily but calmly, "Who are you? Why are you kidnapping me?"
"Stop talking so much, call me darling!" the man said impatiently.
