Chapter 1521
Joanne was different. Her light makeup was simple yet elegant. Although a little girl was with her, the girl was adorable. No wonder Jack had taken a special interest in her.
Despite the early hours, Joanne was concerned that Tail might not be used to the food there and cooked her favorite seafood porridge. She stirred in succulent chunks of lobster and finished it off with a sprinkle of greens. The porridge looked good and tasted like heaven.
Tail cheered and applauded, declaring that her mother was the best cook in the world.
But as the meal came to an end, Joanne realized that Jack had not yet returned with Ada.
She was torn between calling Jack to inquire about their whereabouts or waiting for them to return when her phone suddenly rang.
It was a text message from Ada.
She was asked to bring some coats to a nearby hotel.
Joanne was puzzled.
Why would Ada be at a hotel instead of coming home?
She tried calling the number back, but there was no answer.
She then called Jack, but his phone went unanswered as well.Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
With growing suspicion, Joanne gathered some coats and called for a driver to deliver them to the hotel.
"This is the address. After you deliver the coats, call me and let me know what's going on." Learning from the previous lesson, she stood at the side of the road and entrusted the driver with the task.
The driver nodded. "Sure. I'll let you know when I see Ms. Brown."
"Thank you," Joanne replied, watching as the driver drove away.
Tail followed her obediently. "Mama, didn't Aunt Ada ask you to deliver the coats?"
"I'm afraid this could be a trap."
"Trap?" Tail's confusion was evident.
"A few years back, I received a text message, asking me to deliver something. Foolishly, I went along with it, only to find myself ensnared." Joanne's voice was hushed, tinged with emotion. She shook her head, leading Tail to go back.
But fate had other plans.
Suddenly...
The screech of tires pierced the air.
A black sedan skidded to a halt beside Joanne. The car door flew open, and a burly man in sunglasses leaped out, grabbing her arm and yanking her toward the vehicle.
"Mama! Don't take my mama!" Tail's eyes blazed with fury, her voice cracking as she lunged at the man, sinking her teeth into the back of his hand.
The man’s hand tensed, causing Tail's cheeks to ache from the effort. His sweat left a foul taste in her mouth.
"Tail, let go..." Joanne's heart raced, lodged in her throat. She didn't know who had sent these menacing figures, but her desperation was palpable. "Don't hurt my daughter!"
"If you're so attached, you can both come along," the leader sneered, scooping up Tail and shoving her into the car alongside her mother.
The man at the head of the group carried Tail into the car too.
The car door slammed shut. The entire process unfolded with ruthless efficiency, leaving no time for thought or intervention.
By the time the bodyguards and the housekeeper realized what had happened, all that remained was a cloud of exhaust, dissipating into the air.
