Chapter 29 Are You Disappointed?
The sound reverberated through the room, filling the entire corridor.
However, Giorgio, who was carrying Katherine into the elevator, couldn't hear it as someone was playing music.
His cold countenance showed no change.
The elevator doors slowly closed, shutting Anna's hopes completely.
Her hopes were shattered, leaving a sense of desolation in her heart.
It's all over, everything is over.
Black Jack became furious. "You little bitch, if I don't make you kneel and call me Daddy today, I won't believe it!"
He lifted his hand, preparing to give her another slap.
Anna was too weak to resist. Instinctively, she closed her eyes, preparing herself for the pain.
But the expected pain didn't come.
"She's also someone you can touch?" The magnetic and icy voice echoed in the air, exuding a dangerous aura.
Anna opened her eyes and saw an incredibly handsome and sophisticated man. He was perfect and radiant, shining like silver in the light.
Alessandro!
"Save me," she called for help and fainted.
Simon reached out his long arm to catch her. His usually gentle face was filled with a chilling air. He took a step back...
"Boom!"
Black Jack was kicked back a few steps, falling to his knees, his fat face twisted in pain.
"You... You can't take her away. She's mine, someone I bought."
Simon glanced at him as if seeing an ant, completely ignoring him. With a flick of his eyes, he signaled his assistant, and then carried Anna to the hospital.
Anna had already fallen into a deep unconsciousness, lying softly and quietly in his arms. Her fair face looked helpless and fragile.
Simon felt a strange stir deep within him, as if he sensed a familiarity, but he couldn't pinpoint where it came from.
Half an hour later, at the hospital.
The doctor came out of the operating room and respectfully reported, "Mr. Dalio, the young lady is not in grave danger. She is weak and has special illicit drugs in her system. Our hospital is unable to completely eliminate them. We need the antidote..."
Illicit drugs?
Simon's gentle brows furrowed in disbelief. He couldn't imagine what Anna had gone through. He took out his phone to make a call, and at that moment, his assistant Giovanni called him.
"Mr. Dalio, we have managed to control Black Jack. Also, there has been an accident at the event site. The reporters and business partners are waiting for you. They need you to handle it personally."
Usually, Giovanni could handle all sorts of matters, but if he said he couldn't handle it, then it must be a difficult situation.
Simon looked at the still-lit treatment room and thought for a moment. Eventually, he made a soft noise and hung up the phone, ordering the doctor, "Take care of her for now."
Then, he turned around and left, dialing Giorgio's number on the way:
"Giorgio, your wife is at the hospital. I have some matters to attend to, so I'll leave first."
Through their previous interactions, they had changed to calling each other by their first names.
Giorgio raised an eyebrow and looked at Katherine lying on the bed. "You've mistaken the person. It should be Anna."
Simon raised his lips slightly. "I've seen your wife before. How could I mistake her? She was kidnapped and drugged. Don't you know?"
Kidnapped?
She wasn't willingly with Black Jack?
Giorgio's pupils contracted, surprised.
Simon continued, "When I arrived, Black Jack was hitting her. She said 'save me' and then fainted. You should investigate the situation carefully."
After hanging up the phone, Giorgio sat in the same cold and distant manner, unexpectedly hearing everything.
When he saw Anna appearing with the old man earlier, anger surged in his chest, thinking she was lowly and promiscuous, not caring, not even acknowledging her presence. He simply took Katherine and left.
He never expected that she had been kidnapped!
Giorgio's tall figure suddenly stood up, his handsome face covered in frost. "Little Tony, prepare the car, we're going out."
"Yes, Mr. Vittorio." Little Tony quickly went to the garage.
Katherine couldn't believe that her act of pretending to be in pain was taken so seriously. She curiously asked, "Giorgio, what's going on? Has something happened? I don't want you to leave..."
Giorgio pressed his weak face and avoided worrying her, without telling her the truth. "It's something to do with work. Rest for now, I'll have Tom come to take care of you."
Without giving her a chance to refuse, he quickly left and headed outside.
Katherine clenched her fists in anger.
Why was it always work that mattered? Everything was more important than her!
Couldn't he spare a moment to look at her, to love her?
......
In the luxurious limited-edition Maybach, Giorgio sat in the car, he ordered in a cold voice, "Investigate Anna's situation."
Little Tony was shocked. Did Mr. Vittorio leave in such a hurry just for Anna? What about Katherine, who was in pain?
What would Katherine think when she saw this scene?
He didn't dare to say more, quickly conducting the investigation.
A few minutes later, there were results.
"Mr. Vittorio, Black Jack is a well-known bully in Crownhaven. He is wealthy and influential, often forcing women. Miss Stefanelli was targeted by him a few months ago. Recently, she was bought from her mother for 30,000 dollars and was kidnapped at a bar. Today, he drugged and forced her to bring him to the event venue to please Simon and secure the collaboration."
"Furthermore, Giovanni has already taken custody of Black Jack. He said he has the antidote for Katherine."
Word by word, the message was clear and powerful, hanging in the air, shocking everyone.
After hearing this, even Little Tony himself was astonished. "Miss Stefanelli was treated like that by her own adoptive mother, and the incident at the bar—she was forced..."
Giorgio's handsome face blurred in the light. His amber eyes revealed a bone-chilling coldness as he said, "Retrieve the antidote from Black Jack and bring it to the hospital. We'll deal with him later."
"Yes, Mr. Vittorio." Little Tony respectfully followed his orders.
Soon, the car arrived at the hospital.
Giorgio walked straight into the hospital room.
In the quiet and luxurious ward, the smell of formalin filled the air. Anna lay on the hospital bed, still unconscious, her body unchanged from his last encounter—frail, her fair face marked with a clear handprint.
At that time, she could have called for help, but instead she asked about Katherine?
What a foolish woman!
"Water..." A weak and thirsty voice echoed through the room. Without waiting for a reply, the woman weakly raised her hand, hoping to find some water.
"Mm..." She let out a muffled moan as the movement tugged at the needle in her hand, causing her to feel pain.
Giorgio's gaze darkened, and he stepped forward, gently placing her hand back in its original position. He picked up the glass and fed her a sip of water.
Oh god, the lofty Mr. Vittorio was actually taking care of Anna!
What would the woman at home think after seeing this scene?
Little Tony had a clear understanding as he turned around and left the room to handle the matter of the antidote.
Anna felt the soothing water in her mouth, a refreshing and quenching sensation. Like a stranded fish, she instantly felt comfortable.
Was someone taking care of her?
The image of Alessandro rescuing her flashed through her mind, and her heart rejoiced. Alessandro!
She abruptly opened her eyes, only to see a stunningly handsome yet icy man. She was surprised and sat up: "Giorgio... Mr. Vittorio, why is it you..."
Her voice sounded small and filled with disappointment.
Giorgio narrowed his long eyes. "Is it me? Are you disappointed?"
"Or perhaps, you hoped for someone else to be here?"
