Chapter 81 Covert Rescue
Ethan held a press conference to announce he was marrying into the White family. The news went viral worldwide!
Nighttime.
Chris carried Ashley to the dining table and settled her into a chair. "Ashley, the doctor said you shouldn't be walking around. Wherever you go, I'll carry you, okay?"
Suppressing her disgust, Ashley pretended to be obedient. "Okay."
Seeing her so compliant, Chris smiled gently.
"Let's eat. I had the kitchen prepare a special meal for pregnant women."
"Thanks."
Ashley lowered her head to eat, but the food tasted like cardboard.
After dinner, Chris carried Ashley to the living room sofa.
Throughout the process, Ashley felt like a broken doll, her hands and feet bruised from the chains.
Chris held Ashley in his arms, turned on the TV, and deliberately played today's explosive news.
"According to our reporter, Aurora's richest man, Ethan, mistook a scheming woman pretending to be pregnant for his true love. Mr. Yates is about to divorce and remarry the third daughter of the White family. However, Mrs. Yates refuses to sign the divorce papers and has gone missing..."
Hearing this, Ashley was first shocked and then emotionally shattered. "Am I the scheming woman pretending to be pregnant?"
She tried to get up in agitation, but Chris held her in his arms. "Ashley, I told you Ethan is a heartless man. He's eager to marry another woman. Not only is he unfaithful, but he also puts such a big label on you. What a scumbag!"
Ashley's heart felt like it was breaking.
Seeing her emotional instability, Chris fanned the flames even more. "Unlike him, I only have you in my heart, Ashley. I would never do anything to hurt you!"
Ashley was heartbroken and couldn't listen to Chris. She bit her lower lip, holding back the urge to cry.
The news continued to broadcast.
During the journalist's meeting, a reporter asked, "Mr. Yates, are you really going to divorce and marry the third daughter of the White family?"
Ethan looked at the camera as if he were looking at Ashley through the screen. Seeing his familiar figure on the screen, Ashley felt a mix of emotions.
"Yes."
The scene erupted in an uproar.
Ashley clutched her chest, her face pale.
"Have you already completed the divorce procedures with your ex-wife?"
Ethan said, "Regarding the online rumors about Mrs. Yares fake pregnancy, I hope she can explain it to me in person. Only after confirming it can I make my next move."
"Where is Mrs. Yates now, and why didn't she come to the press conference to clarify?"
Ethan stared at the screen, his eyes flashing with a dark glint. "She will come."
Ethan's gaze was determined. His long fingers tapped on the table rhythmically, hinting at something.
Unfortunately, no one noticed.
However, Ashley did.
A glimmer of hope flashed in her eyes, and her mood brightened. He hadn't given up on her!
Chris laughed after watching the news.
Ashley's heart sank. "Why are you laughing?"
"He's so confident you'll go see him. It must be a trap, waiting for me to fall into it!"
He had indeed guessed it.
Ashley lowered her head, her eyes flickering as she thought about how to get out of this house.
Chris said, "Ethan already knows I took you, so he's been pressuring the Scott family in various ways, trying to force my dad to hand me over. I suspect he wants to catch me first and then rescue you. He's really cunning!"
Ashley coldly replied, "You're not bad, too!"
"Unfortunately, pressuring the Scott family is useless. I've already hollowed out the Scott family, and even my dad doesn't know where I'm staying! They won't find me!"
Chris laughed sinisterly.
"It's late. Pregnant women need to rest early."
With that, he picked up Ashley.
He gently placed her on the bed, covered her with a blanket, and lay down beside her.
"Ashley, good night."
He leaned in to kiss her, but Ashley pretended to cough and turned her face away.
Chris's eyes darkened, but he didn't get angry this time. He just lay down to rest.
Ashley was used to having Ethan sleep beside her, and suddenly having another man there made her uncomfortable.
She deliberately made the chains on her hands and feet clank, making it impossible for Chris to sleep.
"Ashley, can't sleep?"
"If your hands and feet are chained, can you sleep?"
Ashley couldn't stand it for another moment. "If you think I'm disturbing you, you can sleep somewhere else."
Just then, Chris's phone started ringing incessantly.
"Your phone is ringing."
"I'll go take the call. You sleep well."
Ashley nodded. After he left, she got out of bed and locked the door.
What she didn't know was that Pauline and Sienna had tracked her location.
It was already dark. Pauline stood on a nearby hill, pointing at the villa. "This house is built here. It's really hard to find!"
"Have you found Ashley's location? Let's go in and rescue her!"
"Wait, someone's coming!"
