Zoe’s lips curled into a smile, though her eyes gleamed with malice as she swept her gaze across the group. “Well, if you don’t want to confess, that’s fine. But I expect the woman to slap the dumbo while the men take their turn with her.
“I’ll record it all on my phone. This way, we both have something on each other. We’ll call it even, and I’ll drop the issue.”
Lauren’s head spun with dread, feeling as though she was being dragged further into an abyss of despair.
The two men present were dumbfounded, even Freddy. Previously promised Lauren as his sole prize, why was he now expected to share her with the others?
“Zoe, have you lost your fucking mind? We’ll all end up in jail for this!” Mason exclaimed, his malicious intent overridden by fear.
Turning to leave, Mason said, “I’m not doing it! I have women lined up! No need to risk jail time. Find whoever wronged you and deal with them! I’m leaving!”
“You’re not going anywhere.” Zoe’s eyes darkened. “I’ve had the villa sealed shut. Anyone who tries to leave will meet their end.
“It’s easy to handle a dead body in such a desolate place like here. I’ll just find a lonely grave, a quiet corner of nowhere, and tuck you neatly away. Imagine your parents’ grief and despair.”
Panic seized the group, their bodies drenched in sweat.
Someone sneakily took out a phone to call for help, but there was no phone signal at all!
The Harpers were one of the big four, and they weren’t averse to using shady methods. As such, they had connections on both sides of the law.
Once childhood playmates, they had grown into cunning and self-serving individuals. How could they not be afraid?
“I know what you are afraid of. But fear not, Lauren won’t walk out of here alive tonight.” Betty smirked haughtily and stared at Lauren with a crazed glint in her eyes. “We’re all in this together. No one will ever know what happens to her tonight.”
Although Betty’s words held a twisted truth, the men remained hesitant.
The first person who walked toward Lauren was fired up.
“Hah! You’re all so high and mighty in your own domain, but when you’re needed the most, you can’t even get your limp dick to stand up!” Zoe sneered as her provoking gaze landed on Freddy.
After being continuously humiliated by the Taylors, the Walsh’s, and his own father, he was on the verge of exploding. Besides, as the two families tried to bring him and Lauren together, he began to harbor secret feelings for Lauren.
At the Schmidt family’s banquet, his heartstrings were stirred after seeing Lauren being protected and cherished so dearly by Landon.
After becoming her fiance, his feelings of possessiveness grew and grew. A twisted excitement coursed through Freddy as he stalked toward the motionless Lauren. Reaching her, he roughly unbound her ankles, a cruel prelude to his intended violation.
The men in the blue suit and white sports attire couldn’t tear their eyes away, their lust burning hot as unspeakable thoughts filled their minds.
But Lauren remained expressionless. Her eyes were vacant, devoid of any spark.
Freddy ran his fingers through her hair and yanked it suddenly, forcing her to arch her neck toward him and look straight into his eyes.
“Lauren, we’re finally spending our first night together. Don’t worry. I will make sure you feel good…”
As he succumbed to his desires, Freddy pressed his bruised lips against Lauren’s torn, bloodied ones, barely encountering any resistance as he forced her mouth open.
The sweetness and softness overwhelmed him¡ªhe could no longer restrain himself.
That damned Landon had been keeping such a delectable treat hidden all this while!
His other hand fumbled at his pants, frantically unzipping it to release his straining member. Zoe was initially prepared to watch her lover being intimate with the woman she hated the most, but at that point, she couldn’t hold back her jealousy.
Gnashing her teeth, she held up Lauren’s beloved teddy bear. Her brow quirked as she waved the teddy bear at Lauren. The next second, she ripped off its head and stomped mercilessly on it.
“Haha! Good job! I’ve always hated looking at that ugly thing!” Betty clapped and cheered.
Lauren’s eyes widened as hateful tears rolled down her cheeks.
Freddy’s blood-curdling scream pierced the air as he recoiled in agony, his hand clamping over his mouth as he scrambled to his feet.
Rivulets of sweat dripped from his head as he moaned inaudibly, bright, red blood seeping between his fingers.
Lauren’s chest heaved as she stared at Zoe like a ferocious beast. She spat onto the ground viciously.
When they saw the red lump on the ground, everyone took a step back in horror.
It was half of Freddy’s tongue!
Zoe and Betty stood frozen in shock, unable to comprehend how their destruction of a mere toy had awakened such a ferocious reaction from Lauren.
With trembling legs, Lauren rose to her feet, her lips smeared with blood as she lunged toward Zoe.
“Ah! My ear!”
Zoe was slammed into the wall as Lauren bit hard on her ear. The excruciating pain made her screech like a pig being led to the slaughter.
Jeremy and Alyssa arrived at the abandoned factory just as Landon did.
Landon stepped out of the car, his complexion pallid, his eyes emanating a chilling intensity. In the glow of the car’s headlights, a menacing glint flickered in his gaze.
“Where’s Lauren? Does anyone have any updates?” Landon’s eyes widened in desperation as he spoke, his voice cracking from the strain on his dry, cracked lips. His throat felt hoarse, each word a struggle to utter.
Jeremy noticed everything, feeling an unspeakable pain gripping his heart. Witnessing Landon’s successive blows, he understood that despite his outward appearance, Landon was likely on the verge of an emotional collapse.
“Angelina has already arrived. She’s tracking them, but I can’t reach her when I tried calling her just now!”
Alyssa whipped out her phone and gritted her teeth. “Phone signals are jammed here. The kidnappers chose this place on purpose! Motherfucking bastards!”
“Alyssa, stay calm. I anticipated this. Xavier has reached out to the telecommunications company under the Walsh Group.
“We’ve put in an urgent request to get a portable emergency communications system and some new equipment. This will recover our phone signals to a certain degree.” Jeremy pulled her in by the waist and hugged her tightly.
The reason why he was so well-prepared for a kidnapping was because he had gone through whatever Lauren was experiencing right now.
“Angelina is a sharp investigator. It’ll be alright. She’ll find her. She’ll find her…” Landon’s voice trembled as he repeated those words, almost like he was trying to convince himself rather than reassure the others.
Ignoring the others, he started toward the back of the mountain. Jeremy intercepted him, blocking his path. “Landon, where are you going?”
“I’m going to find Lauren.” Landon’s gaze was unfocused. It was as if he was in a daze.
“By yourself? You’d never find them even if you combed the whole place!”
Jeremy’s eyes were steely. “Don’t panic. The men Alyssa and I brought are searching for her right now, and Cyrus will be here soon!”
“Don’t worry? Jeremy, the one who got kidnapped is Lauren, my lifeline!”
Landon suddenly howled, and his gaze took on a crazed sheen. “I don’t have anything left except for Lauren. If anything happened to Lauren. If anything happened to Lauren.”
He couldn’t continue his words.
He was still alive, but right now, he felt no difference from being dead.
Just then, Cyrus and the police came. There were enough men to surround the entire factory area. They released drones to search the place.
“Squad One, search the back of the mountain! Squad Two, come with me!”
“Yes, Chief Cyrus!”
Cyrus felt pain in his chest every time he took a breath, thanks to the blow Remy landed on him.
His colleagues urged him to go for a hospital checkup. If his internal organs were damaged, he could be in critical danger. But in that moment, how could he focus on his own well-being? His concerns were solely for Lauren’s safety.
“Cyrus!” Alyssa noticed that Cyrus wasn’t looking great, so she quickly went forward and held him.
“I’m fine. Don’t you worry.”
Cyrus sighed deeply. When he looked at Landon, he suddenly felt a rush of emotion. “Mr. Landon, I’m sorry. I…”
“I don’t blame you,” Landon interrupted him. His voice sounded disoriented while the wind whistled around them. “You’ve always done your best to protect Lauren, I know that. The people who kidnapped Lauren were most likely targeting me. I’m the one who hurt her.”
When Cyrus heard that, his guilt only intensified.
He even wished that Landon would grab him by the collar and give him a few blows, insulting him with the worst sort of profanities.
Lauren’s hands were still bound, but she was like a roaring lion in a cage, using all her might to break free. With an aggression that was never seen before, she attacked her enemies with uninhibited rage.
