Chapter 75
Chapter 0075
The darkness made it hard for Samantha to see anything. All she could hear was her
heartbeat.
The pain she suffered back then was still fresh in her memories.
Tightening her fists, she said in a low voice, “My life is not enough for you to
threaten Mr. Ford with.”
She sounded as though she was mocking herself.
Perhaps, she had forgotten some things after she was by Kendrick’s side.
Kendrick wasn’t as how he portrayed himself on the surface. Nob*dy could stop him
at all.
“I know! Just like how Kendrick abandoned Ms. and Mr. Duncan!” the pale man
raised his voice.
Kendrick remained a cold front, as though he didn’t know the man.
“Wh–what?” Samantha exclaimed.
She wanted to remove the black cloth on her face so that she could see who that
man was. She wondered why he was speaking up for her.
“If it wasn’t for Kendrick, Ms. Duncan wouldn’t have gone missing, and Mr. Duncan
wouldn’t have been admitted into the hospital! If … Ah!”
Kendrick’s men rushed up and grabbed the pale man. They pressed him on the
ground as they gagged his mouth with something.
Kendrick walked toward Samantha and removed the cloth on her face. Then, he
placed her on the bed.
Under the sunlight, Kendrick’s exquisite face came into Samantha’s view.
She turned around awkwardly and looked at the pale man on the ground. Her heart sank. That man turned out to be her father’s former best friend, Robb Johnson. He
was also a manager at Duncan Group.
SANOB SI
She reached out, wanting to stop those men from harming her father’s friend. However, she changed her mind when she saw Kendrick’s questioning gaze.
“Why… Why did you kidnap me?”
The other men didn’t even give Robb a chance to speak. Samantha could only look at Robb’s madness–filled eyes in the end.
Kendrick asked everyone to leave. He crouched down and untied the rope on Samantha.
“Why did he kidnap me?” she asked.
Kendrick replied, “Because of me.”
Kendrick tidied her clothes for her and carried her up from the bed. He lowered his head and looked at her.
“I liked your words earlier. That was well said. I hope that by coming to your rescue this time, you can provide me with a rich answer.”
Samantha was brought back to the hotel in Kendrick’s arms. Her heart was cold in his warm embrace. She could not stay by his side anymore. She had to use whatever she had to push Kendrick to the edge.
The hatred in Samantha’s heart surged from recalling Robb’s insane appearance. She wondered if anyone who was involved with the Duncan family had to live a
miserable life now. Samantha was the individual who made a mistake. She couldn’t
understand why everyone else had to suffer the consequences of her actions as well.
Clenching her fist, she asked, “That man said you had instructed him.”
“What do you think?” Kendrick sneered coldly while he pinched her chin.
He stared directly into her eyes.
“I won’t pull off a whole ‘saving a damsel in distress‘ move.”
“Mr. Ford, you’re more emotionless than I thought.”
“If you become mine, you will get to experience my ‘emotions‘ then,” Kendrick
laughed with a mischievous tone.
Samantha pretended she didn’t hear that.
She was being sent to the hospital to treat the wounds on her calf. She might not be able to go to work for a few days, but it wouldn’t be a problem for her to fly back.
The moment she returned home, Samantha was admitted into the hospital. She told
Francis to keep this from Nathan because she didn’t want him to worry.
Samantha was free while on medical leave, but she didn’t just do nothing.
When Conrad visited her with roses in his hands, she let out a smile.
“Mr. Hayes, long time no see.”
“Ms. Meadows, I’m sorry about what happened to you abroad.”
Conrad put the roses into a vase.
“You’re quite fast with the news, huh.”
Samantha chuckled.
“Just wondering, have you thought about my suggestion?”
Conrad retrieved a simple contract from his bag.
The agreement didn’t have too many clauses, but the amount of money involved
made Samantha laugh.
“How are you so certain that I also want to handle Kendrick?” Samantha took the
pen from Conrad’s hand.
The smile on her face was undiminished.
“Because we both have pasts that have to be kept secret.”
Conrad put his index fingers on his l*ps.
Samantha’s face turned cold. She wondered just how much Conrad knew about her.
“Don’t worry, Ms. Duncan. We have the same goal.”
Conrad’s smile turned devilish.
At this moment Samantha’s heart skipped a beat. It seemed like she had seen th man before a long time ago. This man also knew about her past.
I hope my compensation is not money.
Samantha crossed the amount on the contract with the pen.
“Oh?”
“After everything’s been dealt with. I want Ares Corporation.”
Samantha tightened her grip on the pen.
She would not allow her fathers blood, sweat, and tears to be in another person’s
hands.
