Hearing that, the man no longer dared to hesitate. He promptly barked an instruction for all the other brutes to take Elspeth down.
“It seems like you don’t know what’s best for you. I won’t be holding back, then.”
After finishing speaking, she rolled up her sleeves and went into battle mode.
She dropped the men on the floor in a matter of seconds, her movements neat and clean.
Jasmine didn’t know what Elspeth was truly capable of, which was why she hired goons whom Elspeth wasn’t afraid of.
Presently, Jasmine quietly cursed as she looked at the men wailing on the floor.
But within the next second, Elspeth had shifted her gaze to Jasmine.
“Why are you looking at me?” Jasmine was so frightened by the eerie look in Elspeth’s eyes that she took a few steps backward.
“Why, you ask? Of course, it’s because I’m going to do to you what I did to them.”
Elspeth calmly smiled and slowly approached Jasmine. Right when she raised her hands, a man pounced on her and pressed her to the ground from behind.
“Miss McGrath, I got her!” the man squealed excitedly. Jasmine came back to her senses and she took out a spray bottle from her pocket.
With one hand covering her nose, she pointed the nozzle at Elspeth and forcefully pressed down on the actuator.
Elspeth suddenly felt her consciousness slip away as her strength gradually left her body.
She only had one thought before she completely passed out.
They got me again.
…
Yelena didn’t know that Elspeth had been kidnapped. Right now, she had come to Elspeth’s company because of the lie she told that morning. Guilt-ridden, she planned to tell Elspeth everything and apologize.
Of course, Hank, who knew she had done something wrong, offered to send her to the company.
“Are you going to tell her every single detail about what happened between us?” His clear voice rang out from above her head.
“I won’t!” After saying this, Yelena suddenly blushed when she realized that he was teasing her. “Enough. Stop it with this nonsense. Let’s talk after we see Elspeth.”
They soon came to the front desk of the company. As Yelena was a frequent visitor here, the lady at the front desk recognized her at a glance.
“Miss Sullivan, are you here to hang out with Miss Lynwood as well today?”
No one told them anything about Elspeth being so scary!
Yelena bashfully lowered her head and giggled. After ruffling her hair, she murmured, “I am! Is she in?”
The receptionist thought about it carefully before she shook her head and pointed outside.
“Miss Lynwood went out with a Miss McGrath just now.”
McGrath? Yelena thought.
How come I’m not aware of her having a friend called McGrath?
It’s not Jasmine McGrath, is it?
“Was that person’s name Jasmine McGrath?”
Although the receptionist didn’t know the woman’s name, she could somewhat describe her appearance. “Miss McGrath is tall and thin, just like a model! She looks gentle and kind, and her hair is dyed blonde. She’s probably around five-foot-four…”
This description alone already made it clear that Jasmine was the one who brought Elspeth away.
Yelena couldn’t help feeling worried and puzzled when she realized that it was Jasmine.
Where did she take her at such an important time?
She quickly took her phone out and called Elspeth. However, no one picked up even after four or five tries.
Elspeth had never not answered Yelena’s calls. Even if something else was keeping her occupied, Elspeth would hang up and inform her.
“You don’t have to try calling her anymore,” Hank uttered in a heavy voice.
Yelena had a bad feeling about this. “What do you mean?”
“I said, you don’t have to call her anymore. Something has definitely happened to her.”
What?! But Elspeth can fight! How can something have happened to her?
Yelena obviously didn’t want to believe this as she raised her head to glare at Hank.
“Are you thinking about how it’s impossible for something to happen to her when she’s such a good fighter?”
“Yeah…” She nodded.
“Even if she can fight, she is just a lady who is a little stronger than others. There is only so much she can do with her physical strength.” After he said this, he lowered his voice and raised another point. “What if she was plotted against by someone?”
Yelena was about to burst into tears from the anxiety. “What about Elspeth? How am I going to find her?”
Realizing that he had frightened her with his words, Hank subconsciously pulled her into his arms and comforted her.
“C’mon, don’t worry about it. I promise I’ll get her back for you.”
The person in his embrace then nuzzled him a little. Yelena seemed convinced by his words.
Hank immediately felt relief wash over him.
He didn’t mind helping out. After all, Yelena might grow fonder of him because of what was happening to Elspeth.
Elspeth’s abduction happened quietly without anyone noticing.
As the car jolted along the road, Elspeth, who was already unconscious, woke up from the shaking.
The man sitting in front was focused on driving and didn’t notice that she had awakened. She couldn’t resist devising a plan.
Though her hands were tied behind her back, the ring on her finger, which concealed a blade, was still in place.
She quickly triggered the mechanism using her nimble fingers and exposed the blade.
To avoid being heard, she moved the blade silently, taking advantage of the bumpy ride and the man driving ahead, who was bobbing his head along to the music. He didn’t hear a thing.
Finally, she freed herself and held the blade to the man’s neck.
Feeling a cold sensation around his neck, the man had a bad feeling. “Miss, how did you suddenly wake up?” he asked.
Ignoring his question, Elspeth ran the blade against his neck. “What do you want?”
When the man heard it, he was scared and tried to maintain control of the car. “I’m driving, ma’am. If you want us both to be safe, you should let me go,” he mumbled.
Elspeth sneered at that. “Why do you think that if you die, I won’t be able to drive the car?”
“Ma’am, please don’t kill me. I’ll tell you everything,” the man said, as he had never been in such a situation as a transporter.
Within two minutes, he spilled the beans.
“You mean Jasmine asked you to take me to the McGrath Residence?”
When she heard that, she was utterly puzzled.
“Yes, she asked me to take you to the McGrath Residence, and the rest is none of my business,” the man muttered while sweating profusely.
