I’m Someone Else

Chapter 175

Snap.

Thomas lit up a cigarette. His brows were tightly furrowed.

“What’s going on with Chloe, Thomas?” Olivia asked worriedly.

She heard most of the conversation Thomas had on the phone just now. Why would Chloe resign out of the blue when everything was going fine? She began to chide herself for being too careless. I’m no longer the president of Pearson Group. Thomas and I have moved over to Keyshire Property, so why did I forget about Chloe? I should’ve brought her over here, just like Molly.

Thomas shook his head. “We’re not sure yet.”

He took his phone out and tried to call Chloe, but just as Adam said, she didn’t answer her phone.

A middle-aged man took Chloe away? Chloe looked reluctant to go with him? Who was that man?

He would only be getting the answers to these questions once Chloe was found.

Thomas had a feeling that the man had something to do with the reason why Chloe resigned from her job at Pearson Group. He might even be one of the Pearsons!

It was an instinctive feeling that Thomas could neither explain nor had evidence for.

Nevertheless, Thomas had always trusted his gut. I hope you Pearsons aren’t digging your own graves!

Ten minutes later, Quincy called back.

“What did you find?”

“I asked around, Thomas, and Chloe’s currently at an hourly hotel in the city center.” Quincy sounded a little helpless. He did arrange for people to keep Chloe safe, but his men told him that Chloe had voluntarily followed the man into the hotel, so they couldn’t go after her and stop her.

“What?! Send me the location at once.”

“You got it.”

No matter how much of a fool Thomas was, he certainly knew nothing good could come out of Chloe being brought to an hourly hotel by a middle-aged man, especially since she wasn’t answering any of their calls. Plus, he wasn’t a fool in the first place.

There was no time to waste. He immediately rushed out of the house.

“I’m coming with you, Thomas.” Olivia quickly followed suit.

Evidently, since Thomas could figure out that the Pearsons might be involved with Chloe’s disappearance, Olivia did too. She was fairly certain that it had something to do with the Pearsons.

Thomas glanced at her. It wasn’t an issue if Olivia came with him. At the very least, he could still keep her safe.

He raced down the streets and ignored all the traffic lights. All he could think about was the sooner he arrived, the less danger Chloe would be in. Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

The car whizzed at such high speeds that Olivia was flat against the back of her seat. She couldn’t budge at all. Her hands gripped tightly on the sides as all the color drained from her face.

This was her second time experiencing such extreme speeds. The last time she did, Thomas successfully made her, who never experienced a day of motion sickness in her life, vomit everything she had in her.

Even so, Olivia closed her eyes and forced herself to bear with it. She knew how important Chloe was to Thomas and what they needed to do right now was get to that hourly hotel as quickly as possible.

Inside the room at the hourly hotel, Chloe was tied to a chair with a cloth stuffed in her mouth. Her beautiful eyes were filled with fear and tears were still glistening on her cheeks.

Splash.

The sound of running water came from the bathroom. Chloe knew that once he was done with his shower, her nightmare would begin.

She was filled with despair. Why won’t he let me go? I already resigned.

“Hehe. I’m coming, gorgeous!”

The man walked over to Chloe.

As it was, Thomas had excellent instincts. Sure enough, the man was Jordan Pearson, Terrence’s third son and Olivia’s third uncle. He was the head of Pearson Group’s administrative department and Chloe’s superior!

This wasn’t a spur-of-the-moment desire that Jordan felt. He had had his eyes on Chloe ever since the day she joined the company and swore to himself that he would bed the innocent little flower sooner or later.

After all, with his prominent family background and arguably handsome looks, he managed to sink his claws into many young women. However, when he tried to go after Chloe, he realized that she didn’t fall for his tricks!

Jordan wasn’t someone who would give up so easily. He looked into Chloe’s background and found out that she was the godsister of his niece’s driver. Due to that, he couldn’t force himself onto Chloe. After

all, Thomas and the Pearsons’ relationship started off decently well and Jordan had about it. Furthermore, Thomas had a mighty reputation within Pearson Group and Jordan didn’t want to bring trouble upon himself.

Thus, he reined himself in and simply kept trying to woo Chloe.

Regardless of how much effort Jordan put into wooing Chloe, she kept rejecting him anyway. He was furious, and at last, the tides had changed at Pearson Group. Olivia was no longer the president and Thomas had left too.

After digging around for more information, Jordan found out that Thomas and the Pearsons had a falling out. In that case, he no longer had a reason to hold back. Therefore, he dropped all pretense of civility and became a lot more forceful with Chloe.

That was the reason why Chloe decided to resign.

Jordan wasn’t going to let his prey escape so easily.

He went to Chloe’s house and exaggerated the situation between Thomas and the Pearsons. According to him, it wasn’t that the Pearsons couldn’t do anything to Thomas. On the contrary, Thomas was in grave danger as the Pearsons could squash him like a bug anytime they wanted.

True enough, Chloe panicked when she heard what Jordan said. She begged Jordan to put in a good word for Thomas and get his family to show mercy.

Jordan used the excuse of the situation being rather complicated and needing a quiet place to talk to get Chloe to leave with him. He then brought her straight to the hourly hotel.

Naturally, Chloe was fully aware that Jordan had ulterior motives, but she had to go with him. She took the risk because it involved Thomas’ safety.

However, she didn’t expect Jordan to forcefully tie her to a chair just as soon as they entered the room.

“Mmmmmph!” Chloe let out a few muffled sounds to get Jordan to take the cloth out of her mouth.

Since she was all tied up and couldn’t escape, he took the cloth out.

She shrieked, “You’re… You’re shameless!”

“No, no, gorgeous. Something even more shameless is about to happen! Hahaha!”

“You!” Chloe paused in thought. Either way, she wasn’t going to be able to escape from his clutches. But, if it’s in exchange for Thomas’ safety, it’s worth it.
