Starting with A Divorce by Gloria Warren

Chapter 323 ***

The smoke curled around Manuel’s face. He put the light blue cigarette in his *** and spat out a ***ful

of smoke. Then, he said in a low voice, “It’s true.”

After the smoke dissipated, Serina widened her eyes and asked in confusion, “Manuel! It can’t be true! You

have said that you like Ainsley the most, but why are you getting engaged to Irene? Ainsley is still missing. Didn’t you say that you would protect her and make her my sister-in-law?”

As Serina spoke, tears fell from her eyes. She choked and continued, “So everything you said before was a lie

to me! You are a **, a ***, and a womanizer!”

Serina chattered away while Manuel listened to her carefully without saying a word.

He had a self-deprecating smile on his face and thought to himself, Serina is right. I am a **. I am too

**ly to take a gamble. I am afraid that I will expose Ainsley to the slightest possibility of danger.

“You’re right.”

Serina was so angry that she laughed. “Argh! In order not to save Ainsley, you even admit that you are a

**. Are you still my brother?”

“I’m sorry,” Manuel sighed.

“Don’t say sorry to me. The person you should apologize to should be Ainsley!” Serina sobbed and continued, “Tell me, do you really… like Irene?”

Manuel gazed into the distance and said, “It doesn’t matter anymore. The important thing is that Irene will become my fiancée in a month.”

“Alright! I wish you love for all seasons!” Serina angrily took the cup away, ran upstairs, and fiercely closed

the door.

Manuel laughed bitterly, thinking, I must agree.

Only in that way will Ainsley be safe.

In the mountains, Ainsley leaned weakly against the tree trunk. The rain had not stopped, but it eased up a

bit.

Ainsley no longer had any strength. Her lips were pale and chapped, and her forehead was hot.

The man in the rain shed hung up the phone and then looked at Ainsley seriously.

In the Easton’s house, Matteo threw the teacup on the ground in a rage. With a loud smash, the cup

shattered

on the floor and was scattered in pieces.

He was furious that so many people had searched for Ainsley for hours without finding even the slightest

trace of her.

Emily sat on the side in frustration, not daring to breathe aloud.

She didn’t dare to say anything nonsense at this time and just asked, “it’s been a few hours. You still

haven’t

found anything?”

The rest of them lowered their heads and did not dare to breathe aloud.

Matteo hurried to pick up the phone on the ground and accidentally cut his finger. Dark red blood slid

down from his index finger.

Emily cried out in alarm and quickly found the medical kit under the table. When she wanted to bandage.

Matteo, she was ruthlessly shaken away.

“No need,” Matteo said wearily.

He thought, if Emily hadn’t done all of this, Ainsley would not have been in trouble. Anyway, this is all

Emily’s

fault.

Thinking of this, he said coldly, “If something does happen to Ainsley, I won’t let you go.”

“Matteo, I…” Emily looked at Matteo in fear, tears falling from the corners of her eyes.

Suddenly, Perla rushed over from the gate and said with a pale face, “Mr. Easton! Look at this!”

She handed a letter to Matteo. “I was at the gate just now. A car stopped, and the person in it threw

down

this letter.”

The envelope in this letter said, “Matteo opens it himself,” Matteo thought, how could anyone use such

an

outdated way of sending a letter? Immediately after that, he quickly opened the letter. The letter did not

contain many words.

“Ainsley is at the entrance of the University of Washington. Hurry up and go.”

Matteo fiercely crumpled the paper into a ball, and the look in his eyes was icy. “Have some people.

investigate the car that was parked at the gate just now. No matter what, you must find the person who

delivered this letter to me.”

He thought, I haven’t paid the ransom. Why did they release Ainsley? No time to think more, he ***to the

entrance of the University of Washington in a hurry.

It was eleven o’clock at night, and it was dark at the University of Washington at this point. There was no

one on the street, and there was no one in front of the school, except for a person who was lying in the

open space directly opposite the entrance to the school.

Ainsley was lying on the cold ground, and her breathing was weak. After being in the rain for hours on

end, her clothes had long been soaked as if she had just been taken out of the water.

A car hurriedly stopped at the entrance to the school. Matteo anxiously got out of the car and saw

Ainsley

lying on the ground.

The rain was still pouring. Matteo came to Ainsley’s side in fear. He slowly squatted down and put a

finger

under her nostrils. Ainsley’s weak breath hit his fingertip.

Matteo breathed a sigh of relief. “Open the door quickly!”

Matteo held Ainsley in his arms and placed her in the back seat. The driver did not dare to be sluggish

and quickly closed the car door.

“Go to the hospital!” Matteo said seriously.

Matteo sat in the back seat and looked worriedly at Ainsley beside him. Ainsley was cold all over her body, and her face was pale. He quickly took off his clothes and draped them over Ainsley.

He looked at Ainsley with a worried face, thinking, why did they suddenly release Ainsley? What exactly

happened?

“Aisy?”

Even though Matteo knew that Ainsley had no consciousness and could not answer, he still couldn’t help but

call out.

In the hospital, the doctors and nurses had prepared a stretcher and were waiting at the door. The moment the car stopped, the doctors took Ainsley from Matteo and pushed her into the hospital.

The lights in the emergency room came on. Matteo sat on the bench at the door of the emergency room and

did not dare to leave for a second.

He said to himself, “She will certainly be fine…”

Suddenly, his phone rang. It was Serina calling.

“Matteo, how is Ainsley? Have you found her?” Serina choked and asked on the other end of the phone.

“Yeah. She is in the hospital,” Matteo said in a low voice

“In the hospital? What happened to Ainsley?” Serina said in shock.

Matteo thought about it and decided not to hide it. “I found her at the entrance of the University of Washington. She was in a coma.”

“Matteo, I’m sorry. Can you not tell Ainsley about my brother?” Serina sobbed.

“What happened?” Matteo was confused.

“It seems that you still don’t know it. Just look at the news.” Serina seemed to have lost the strength to

speak, so she hung up the phone.

Matteo looked at the phone suspiciously and saw the latest news on the page, “It is said that the engagement party of Mr. Gage and Irene will be held on November 3. The location has not yet been settled. Mr. Gage went to the Wade’s home together with his grandfather at eight o’clock this evening…”

Matteo only glanced at it before he turned off the phone.

He felt that Ainsley’s accident must have something to do with Irene. He could not accept that during the few hours that Ainsley was kidnapped, Manuel was at the Wade’s home planning the engagement to Irene.

He thought to himself, how Ironic! How laughable!

Matteo still remembered Manuel’s firm tone and expression that day when Manuel vowed that he would protect Ainsley forever. Matteo thought, Manuel was so sincere at that time. But now it appears that his promises are all hollow words.

It’s a pity that Aisy loves the wrong person. If she had known it from the beginning, she would not have been entangled with him.
