Chapter 269 Am I Playing Tough?
At about 2 PM, Rosa noticed that Suny seemed missing. As the conference was scheduled at three, Suny hadn’t shown up yet even at 2:30. It appeared unusual.
Rosa then tried to call Suny. But nobody answered.
After trying a few more times, Rosa noticed that Suny might get into trouble.
As sophisticated as she had been as a secretary, she soon realized it was a red flag. Then she told Austin about it.
None of them could tell what was happening to Suny or what the kidnapper was aiming for. It had been two hours only since Suny went missing, so the police wouldn’t take it seriously. What was worse, it might put Suny’s life at stake if the kidnapper knew that the police was informed.
After weighing the pros and cons, Rosa decided to tell Austin about it first.
Actually, she could handle it by herself, but Austin could do better.
After that, Austin called Alicia. He needed to find out if Suny was calling for help or if she just lost her phone.
As Suny’s best friend, Alicia might have the answer, he supposed.RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only
Alicia confirmed he was right about it and had located Suny.
Austin drove with a livid face while thinking about who would be the kidnapper, but he couldn’t even think of one possible target.
Though he hadn’t announced his relationship with Suny in public, they actually attended the birthday banquet of Mr. Bates together at that time. Everyone could tell their relationship by then.
Knowing of that, the kidnapper should have hesitated before making move even if Suny had ever greatly offended him.
So, Austin had no idea who would conspire such a kidnap aboveboard.
Soon, they arrived at Alicia’s house. Ashley appeared more composed than Alicia. He briefly made a solution and then shared the location with Austin through his phone.
Then they saw it was in a suburban area.
Ivan soon recognized the location, “Mr. Johnson, it’s the villa community.”
Austin frowned, “Can you find out all the residents?”
Ivan answered awkwardly, “there are too many of them.”
Neither they could figure out the exact villa where Suny was held, nor did they know what the kidnapper was planning for.
Rosa glanced at Austin, “Mr. Johnson, we don’t even know if Miss Holland is safe or what they want. I don’t think we should call the police now. But we still need to make a plan.”
Austin then replied with a glimpse, “I will sneak in to see if I can get some clues. Ivan, Rosa, you two bring some men to follow me behind. And keep your phones on.”
Rosa seemed a bit more relieved. They couldn’t take action abruptly before they figured out what was happening or raid every villa one by one with a group of guards.
But if Austin went there alone, it would be less conspicuous. Then they would follow him with a group of bodyguards in case he needed backup.
After telling them his plan, Austin got back to his car.
Soon, the car galloped away at full speed.
Ivan and Rosa looked at each other and then started to muster up bodyguards.
Alicia wanted to join the team, but Ashley stopped her, “Hey, don’t!”
“But Suny needs help!”
Alicia was overwhelmed with her concern about Suny. She spent her childhood with Suny and Ashley. Suny lost her parents while Alicia lost her only family member, her grandma. Ever since then, the three orphans stuck together to support each other for all these years.
Whenever Alicia suffered grievance, she would turn to Suny or Ashley they would then manage to revenge on her.
Meanwhile, they never hesitated to give Suny a hand when she was in need.
That was why she was burning with anxiety when Suny was in trouble.
“Just stay. Let me do it.”
“Bring her back! And be careful!”
“Sure!”
While Alicia and Austin were overwhelmed with anxiety, Suny appeared much more relaxed. The only thing that bothered her was that she had to put off the conference and reschedule it for tomorrow.
At the thought of that, she couldn’t help getting annoyed.
The kidnap totally messed up her schedule.
While wondering, the door was pushed open. Then one of the two guards got her something to eat for lunch.
Soon she smelt the wonderful scent of soup, which triggered her appetite. She washed her hands in the bathroom and returned to the table while the guard was placing those dishes.
“Thank you.”
The guard took a look at her. He felt like this lady was here on vacation.
Now it was 3:00 PM. After starving for more than two hours, her stomach started to flip.
The guard was considerate enough to provide various dishes.
After finishing the meal, Suny walked over to the bookshelf and started reading.
Jennifer couldn’t help feeling displeased when she entered and saw her reading leisurely, “Miss Holland, you kind of enjoy this, huh?”
Suny replied with her eyes fixed on the book, “Miss Dawson, isn’t that what you want?”
Jennifer was rendered speechless.
Screaming and pleading with her knees on the ground was what Jennifer expected to see from Suny instead of watching her reading at ease.
Jennifer flipped out, “I wish you can still play tough till tomorrow morning!”
She huffed and added, “Listen, Mr. Francis is not the only one coming tonight. His wife will be there! Just imagine what will happen when she caught you and Mr. Francis in bed! Perhaps chopping off your limbs would be the easiest punishment you can have.”
“Oh, by the way, I bet you don’t know about his wife, right? Well, listen, his wife was once known as Black Widow Spider twenty years ago. She used to own the club named Lovie Dovey, which had been closed a few years ago. She wasn’t a person to mess up with. So you’d better pray for yourself.”
Suny was getting annoyed while Jennifer had been blabbering around her. She frowned, “Miss Dawson, why don’t you worry about your own baby?”
Hearing that, Jennifer paused awkwardly. She felt like being humiliated.
“I wish you can keep on playing tough.” Huffed Jennifer.
“Am I playing tough?” Suny frowned confusedly while looking at her.
Jennifer was choked.
She couldn’t help wondering if she made the dumbest decision ever to suggest James keep Suny as a mistress.
Jennifer no longer wanted to continue talking. She felt like her rage was running wild.
Then Jennifer swaggered away with her feet stumping hard onto the ground to vent out her anger.
Suny smiled at her victory.
Jennifer never learned the lesson.
Tonight Suny was going to tell her the price they had to pay for messing up with her.
But now she would like to focus on the book.
And the book appeared quite interesting to her.
