Chapter 68
　　
　　Emily's POV
　　I always knew that Toby was a very selfish person who only cared about his interests, who used all kinds of dirty and stupid means to get what he wanted and who was very vicious and bad. But I never thought Toby would hurt me and Emma.
　　We are his daughters, the people in this world who have blood relations with him. Emma was sent to jail by Andre for kidnapping me, and Toby didn't choose to get money to get her out, but he would still follow Bella and abandon his dignity to Andre's villa to plead with me to let Emma go.
　　I had been living in M State with Hellen, and there was no way Toby didn't know about me and Hellen's existence. But before I went to seek his help, he did not come to harm me and Hellen because at any moment Hellen and I might go looking for him to keep him from being trusted by Bella.
　　Although he didn't bring any help to Hellen and me, he didn't drive Hellen and me out of the state of M. Toby's behavior now is unacceptable to me, and I can't believe he would kidnap me for money or anything else! This is something he would never do before, and now Toby has become so hateful!
　　"Toby, why are you doing this? Why did you kidnap me?!"
　　I couldn't control my emotions anymore, I couldn't even calm my heart down. I felt tears in my eyes, and I tried desperately to hold back my sobs so that Toby wouldn't see how vulnerable I was, but my heart was about to collapse!
　　Toby had changed so much from before, he was now very thin, wearing a mask and a hat if I didn't know him so well, I would not be able to recognize him. The situation was beyond all my comprehension, Fiona had returned from abroad to participate in the kidnapping, and Toby was the one who hired the kidnappers!
　　Why didn't he use the rest of the money to live in the suburbs or on a farm, which would be enough for him to live a happy and prosperous life!
　　"Emily, this is all your fault! If you hadn't been so selfish, I wouldn't be in this situation at all. If you had agreed to lend money to Andre when my company was in trouble, my company would not have collapsed and I would still be a wealthy elite!"
　　I looked at Toby in disbelief, not expecting him to say something like that. He had just looked at me and I thought I would hear his apology or misery, something he had done often before. Use his misery to make it seem like he was forced into this thing, to make me or Hellen sympathize with him or even forgive him.
　　But this time Toby put all the blame on my head, he thought, like Emma, that I was the one who had let his company go under and turned him into a bum!
　　"Emily, why do I have a daughter as selfish and ungrateful to her father as you? You let your fiancé go against me and even watched someone else's company buy mine out! Emma was sent to jail and you wouldn't even free her, even though Bella and I got down on our knees and begged you! You have nothing but Mrs. Vincent in your heart, and you would throw away anything for that!"
　　In Toby's description, I became a bad woman who only wanted wealth and power. I didn't think I would be such a negative image in Emma's or Toby's heart, they couldn't even see what I did for them at all, they only complained that I didn't do more.
　　I was supposed to be a puppet, obeying their orders without any betrayal. I must meet all their demands, even if they ever hurt me, I must also forgive them. This may be what I should be in Toby and Emma's mind, but I have my mind and soul, and I could never forgive someone who had hurt me and Hellen.
　　Toby created his current tragedy because of his philandering and irresponsibility that made me who I am now. He hurt Hellen by not helping or asking him when he was sick. The original reason I chose to go out with Andre was that he was willing to help me rescue Hellen.
　　I feel like Toby is a crazy person right now, even though he acts and behaves in a way that seems perfectly normal. His company is going out of business because he can't run it himself, which has nothing to do with me, and he thinks it's because I didn't want to lose my position as Mrs. Vincent and refused his unreasonable demands that the company went out of business!
　　Until this moment I think I see what kind of person Toby is, he can't even live as a human being, he's a demon!
　　"Toby, I've never seen such a shameless person like you! Do you think you can prove that you're that elite by putting all the blame on me for your mistakes? You're simply a loser!"
　　I accused Toby loudly, venting the pain and anger in my heart. But he simply ignored my voice, even if everyone in the warehouse looked at me because of my accusations, Toby still did not look angry. He very calmly took my phone from the kidnapper's hand and operated on it.
　　My emotions were finally calmed down enough to think normally as Susan calmed me down. I knew Toby must be asking Andre for money again now. I am now completely disappointed in Toby, and I will not forgive Toby after today, no matter how Andre wants to punish him.
　　Andre once paid off Toby's debts because of my persuasion, and I even let Andre help Emma pay off her gambling debts so that he wouldn't be harassed by the casino staff! But Toby and Emma couldn't see any of these things, they just blamed me and thought I should have done it all!
　　I should have understood Toby's character earlier, so I wouldn't have acted like a fool to persuade Andre for him and even made Andre pay so much money.
　　Toby finished texting and handed the phone to the kidnappers turned around and left the warehouse, he didn't look at me again as if things were almost over he could finally finish the plan to get the money. The kidnappers also took Fiona and opened the door of the warehouse after Toby left, leaving Susan and me alone in the entire warehouse.
　　"Emily, what should we do now?"
　　Susan leaned over me and asked me in a whisper, still worried that the kidnappers outside the warehouse might hear her. The truth is that I don't have any plans to escape now. I have Andre's baby in my belly, which is not suitable for strenuous exercise at all. And there were so many kidnappers that Susan and I couldn't beat them to run out of the warehouse.
　　But I think Andre should have locked my location via cell phone by now, and all Susan and I have to do now are to wait patiently. I'm sure Andre and Kevin will be back to rescue us.
　　"Don't worry, Susan. Toby didn't hurt us just now, he just wanted money. Andre will come to rescue us when he gets the message, we have to trust him and Kevin's ability."
　　I reassured Susan so she wouldn't feel scared anymore. We held each other's hands to give each other courage, and the wait became so slow that Susan and I couldn't tell what time it was without any electronic devices. Just when we were about to pass out again, the sound of fighting suddenly came from outside the warehouse.
　　Susan and I were instantly awake and our eyes were glued to the door of the warehouse. My heart was in a panic, fearing that something dangerous might have happened outside the door, and the door to the warehouse was kicked open at this time. Susan and I screamed and held each other in our arms, and I couldn't help but look up to see that it was Kevin!
　　"Susan, Emily, are you guys okay?"
　　Kevin led the way and opened the door to the warehouse, rushing up the moment he saw me and Susan ask how we were doing. He held Susan in his arms to check on Susan's condition, and my heart could finally relax without feeling worried and scared.
　　I wanted to ask Kevin if he knew where Andre was when a man came running in from outside the warehouse. He rushed to me and took me into his arms with such force that I could even feel the panic and fear inside him.
　　"Andre, thank you."
　　I put my head on Andre's shoulder and breathed in the smell that belonged to him. My heart finally became calm at this moment. I had been convinced that Andre would come to my rescue, and now that he was here, I wanted to cry.
　　Andre looked at me and asked if I was hurt. I finally couldn't control my inner emotions and broke down and cried. On the way to the hospital, I looked at Susan sitting next to me and felt very guilty inside. If she hadn't come out shopping with me today, she wouldn't have been kidnapped by Toby much less beaten by the kidnappers.
　　I'm sorry, Susan, I'm sorry, it's all because of me that you got hurt." "No, Emily.
　　"No, Emily, you're not to blame, it's Toby's fault, he's selfish and greedy."
　　Kevin agreed with Susan, and they didn't blame me. Instead, they were concerned that the baby in my belly hadn't been harmed, and we went to the hospital together for a full-body checkup, and everything was healthy.
　　Toby and Fiona and the kidnappers they hired were sent to jail for kidnapping, and peace was finally restored to my life.
　　"Miss Jones, will you marry this man by your side, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health. Are you willing to stay by his side until you grow old?"
　　The priest stood in front of Andre and me with an earnest expression, and I received his questioning in my custom-made white wedding dress in front of all the guests and my relatives.
　　I felt so happy at this moment that I was marrying the person I love today. The wedding was so big that Andre invited all his partners and friends to our wedding.
　　After the ceremony, Andre even contracted out the entire Gaze Hotel for guests to enjoy dinner and accommodations. I was standing next to Susan, who was my bridesmaid for the wedding.
　　Outside in the sky, helicopters flew overhead showering roses and chocolates across the city, and Andre told me that he wanted the whole city to know his joy. Countless reporters were waiting outside the church, even in their seats, to record the wedding.
　　I glanced at Andre and he gave me an affirmative look. I looked up at the priest again and told him, very seriously and firmly, "I do."
