Starting with A Divorce by Gloria Warren

Chapter 321 Tell Matteo Everything

The heavy rain could not only disturb one’s mood but also wash away all traces.

What was even more unfortunate was that the lightning struck the surveillance camera at the intersection,

which meant it was even harder to find Ainsley.

Matteo brought Emily back home. His brows were furrowed tightly, and he pinched his eyebrows worriedly.

Emily said tentatively, “Matteo, since he has called and said that Ainsley would be safe after we gave him the

money, then it’s fine.”

******up!” Matteo looked at Emily coldly. “If that’s the case, we should have found them at the eastern

suburbs factory just now. Who is that person? What’s his name?”

Emily dodged his eyes. “I… I don’t know who he is. I haven’t seen him. I only know the phone number.”

“Where did you get to know this person?”

“I… I…” She bit her lip but did not dare to say anything.

Matteo held her shoulder, shouting, “Tell me! In such a situation, why are you still unwilling to tell the truth?”

Emily grabbed her clothes. She did not dare to tell him. If that person knew it, she would be dead.

“Emily, you have already done something wrong. Do you still want to make mistakes again and again? Or do you want me to put you in prison before you can tell the truth?”

Emily cried miserably, begging, “Matteo, everything will be fine if we pay tomorrow. Don’t ask more about it..

We can’t defeat her. She’s powerful.”

Based on Emily’s words, Matteo seemed to have known who the person behind the scenes was. In Seattle, there was no one else other than Irene who could make Emily so afraid.

“Is it Irene?”

“Matteo! I don’t know! Don’t ask me!” Emily covered her ears as if she was crazy.

Matteo looked at Emily with a gloomy face. “Emily! Now tell me everything you know!”

Emily trembled, not daring to look at him. She said timidly, “I was forced to do it! If I had refused her, I

would

have been beaten to death!”

“Tell me what happened?”

Matteo’s eyes looked so terrifying and sharp that they were a knife that stabbed into her heart. She

finally

couldn’t bear it anymore and told Matteo everything that had happened.

“Matteo, I didn’t mean it. I only wanted to teach her a lesson at the beginning, but I didn’t expect that it

would be so serious. It was too late for me to stop. If I couldn’t give the money, Irene would make me

take the blame. I would definitely go to jail, but I don’t want to. I know that I don’t have that much money.

If I don’t help

her, I will **no matter what.” Emily bit her lips.

Finally, Emily realized that no matter if she agreed or not, she would **. Even if she helped Irene, Matteo

would not let her go.

Matteo’s eyes narrowed slightly. It was Irene again.

He clenched his fists and took out his phone.

In the heavy rain, the sound of rain falling on the canopy was particularly loud. Ainsley leaned on the tree

trunk tiredly. She did not have much strength left.

The cold wind blew on her body, but she only felt her whole body burning up.

Her hair was wet from the rain and stuck tightly to her head. She said weakly, “I have a fever.”

Her voice became weak. However, seeing Ainsley’s state, the kidnapper only glanced at her

contemptuously.

“It’s just a fever. You won’t **because of it. You rich ladies are so delicate. Just because of the rain, you

get

*so easily. Since you didn’t suffer much, I can help you. You won’t **, and it can help you improve your

immunity.”

Ainsley opened her eyes and looked at him, saying, “Did Irene ask you to treat me like this?”

The kidnapper sneered, “She didn’t say anything. She just wanted me to tie you up here, and let you

wake up

in the rain.”

Ainsley had her hands behind her back, groping for something on the ground with her hands. Finally, she

found a stone.

Touching the sharp edge of the stone, she secretly rubbed the edge of the rope, trying to cut the rope.

But the rope was too thick, and it was not torn after nearly half an hour.

Just as she tried to continue, the kidnapper seemed to have seen through her mind, saying sarcastically,

“Do you think I can’t see what you are doing? Don’t waste your energy. It’s better to save your energy.

After all, you

won’t have dinner tonight.”

The sky was getting darker. Although Ainsley did not know what time it was, she could tell from the dark

sky

that it was night.

She had been frozen there for a few hours. Logically, Matteo should have known that she had not returned.

home, but Matteo might have gone in the wrong direction.

It was very difficult to go up and down the mountains in this deep forest. The kidnapper parked his car not far away. There was no light from the surroundings. The only thing that allowed them to see clearly

was the powerful flashlight that the man was carrying.

The man was dressed in a thick coat, sitting under the rain shed. Then he took out food from his pocket.

As soon as he opened the package, Ainsley smelt the strong flavor of chocolate.

She was hungry for a long time, her stomach rumbling.

The kidnapper laughed, putting the chocolate close to Ainsley’s nose. “Do you want to eat it? Why not

exchange it with your body?”

Ainsley glared at him fiercely. “Get lost!”

** The man gave her a hard slap. Ainsley’s face tilted, and her head hit the tree.

The man pinched Ainsley’s chin, forcing her to look up at him. “You should be grateful if I want to sleep with you. Otherwise, you will freeze to death here tonight.”

“If

you dare to touch me, I will commit suicide! Let’s see if Irene will let you go!”

“How dare you threaten me! ** The man spat.

When it was late at night, Ainsley became colder, trembling uncontrollably.

At eight o’clock in the evening, in the dining hall of the Wade Group….

Irene and Brady sat on one side. Opposite her sat Manuel and Koen.

“Koen, we have been talking about their marriage for so many years. Now it can finally be settled,” Brady smiled.

Koen glanced at Manuel, and agreed, “That’s right. I’ve been familiar with Irene since she was a kid. Now she is mature and elegant and will be a member of the Gage family if they get engaged. Cody, are you willing to part with her?”

“It’s useless even if I am reluctant. Irene always mentions Manuel in front of me. Now, Manuel finally came here to talk about the engagement.” Brady glanced at Clara, indicating something.
