Chapter 853 Hearing this, Aveline's face darkened immediately.
Were they really going to force her if she refused to leave? No way! She couldn't leave! Someone had already cto rescue her-she just needed to buy stime.
Backing away step by step, her mind raced as she mentally reconstructed the layout of the room.
Her left hand brushed against a table, and her eyes lit up.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtListening carefully to the footsteps approaching, she grabbed the heavy sailboat figurine from the table and hurled it toward the nearest person! The figurine was large and heavy, almost too much for her to lift, but she managed to throw it.
The two bodyguards, seeing it coming, dodged quickly.
The sailboat hit the ground with a loud thud, the sound reverberating through the room.
The guards looked shaken if they'd been hit, they'd have been seriously injured! Aveline was a blind woman, but she reacted so quickly! Wanda grew more anxious. "Hurry up! They're almost here!" Seizing the brief moment of distraction, Aveline continued retreating, feeling her way toward the bathroom. She remembered-it should be to her right...
As she moved, she grabbed and tossed anything she could behind her to slow them down. At last, her fingers found the bathroom door handle. She darted inside and quickly locked the door. One of the bodyguards cursed and shouted at Wanda, "Get the spare key!" "Oh, right! I'll go get it now!" Wanda stammered, finally snapping out of her shock and rushing off to fetch the key.
Aveline heard the commotion outside. They had a spare key-it was only a matter of tbefore they got in. She couldn't just wait around! She kept feeling around the bathroom until her hands landed on a cabinet. She shoved it against the door, trying to barricade herself in The bathroom was large, but there weren't many movable objects she could use. Other than the cabinet, there was nothing else.
Luckily, the bathroom door opened inward, so even with the key, they'd need tto get in.
Now all Aveline could do was pray that Lucas' people would arrive soon... very soon.
Meanwhile, Desmond received a call, his expression growing serious as he turned to Lucas. "Mr. Tudor, we've received word that Mrs. Tudor was taken by Russell and is e currently being held at a villa in the outskirts." Lucas shot up from his seat. "Get the men ready. We're going over there now!" "Yes, sir!" Three teams set out immediately, moving in quick succession.
Sitting in the car, Lucas' face was dark with anger.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe hadn't expected it-Russell was really the one behind this! How dare he take Aveline! He glanced at Desmond and said coldly, "The Skyler family has been too comfortable lately. Let's give them something to worry about! Cancel that financing plan they've been working on!" "Understood!" Desmond responded, swiftly setting Lucas' plans in motion.
Russell, having recently taken over the Skyler family, needed a major project to solidify his position. He had been negotiating a significant overseas financing deal, and once the contract was signed, he would be fully established in the family.
Destroying that deal would ruin all of his prior efforts, and if Lucas leaked the news about Triska's younger son, Russell's path to total control over the Skyler family would beca distant dream. If Russell dared to lay a hand on Aveline, he had better be ready for the consequences.
Five minutes after the European representatives had left, Russell received the devastating news.
His face darkened with fury as he clenched his phone. "Didn't I tell you to keep him happy? How could he just walk out like that?" His subordinate answered nervously, "Mr. Lyon received a call from the European headquarters. They've decided to cancel the collaboration and left immediately..."
Furious, Russell smashed his phone against the wall. There was only one option left to before the rush to the airportm the plane took off and try to salvage the deal by convincing Lyon to sign the contract... But the villa was just within reach! X
