Chapter 66 I'll Give You One Last Chance
Jenny overheard the conversation among the three men and soon figured out the situation. Someone had hired these men to abduct her but wanted her assaulted, not killed.
Analyzing the situation calmly, she confirmed that there were only three men around her. They were no match for her under normal circumstances. However, she recalled feeling weak and dizzy when they hauled her into the van, and she understood that she must have been drugged. Her only trip out today was for lunch with Stephanie, and the abduction happened after she left the restaurant. She concluded. that she must have been drugged at the restaurant.
She was focused on thinking because she was not intimidated by the three men at all. Her only goal was to find out the identity of the client who hired them.
Soon, the van came to a stop, and someone reached out to lift her. She pretended that she had just woken up.
"Who are you? What are you doing to me?" she exclaimed, acting terrified. The icy look in her eyes was masked under the blindfold, leading her abductors to let down their guard in front of a seemingly frightened woman. They chuckled. "Hey lovely, don't be scared. We are not after your life."
She almost gagged at their response. Had she not been tied up, she would have punched them in the face. by now. She questioned, "Who gave you this order?" They ignored her and shoved her forward. Not long after, she heard the creaking sound of something like a metal gate. They led her in and pushed her aside. "Gus, call the client and have her send us the money now," one of the men suggested. Soon, Jenny heard a man walking out, presumably to make the call. Next, she heard a man grunting and moaning indecently in her ear.
"Pip, why the rush? When we get the money, she'll be all yours." The man who suggested calling the client dragged his lewd colleague away. The two could be heard quarreling, but Jenny ignored the happenings and focused on cutting the ropes around her wrist with a penknife she carried with her.
At the same time, Steven's face fell when he saw his men returning to his villa without Jenny. "How could you lose track of someone you've drugged? What good are you?"
"Mr. Dickman, we had no idea what happened to her. She disappeared in the blink of an eye!" The men stood there with their heads lowered to avoid eye contact with their furious boss. Right when Steven was about to unleash his anger, he heard a commotion at the entrance. The guard could be heard yelling. "Mr. Faust, you can't barge in! Mr. Dickman is..."
"Get lost!" The guard at the door was kicked aside by Alec. He marched into the living room, noticed Steven's presence, and went up with a livid expression. "A-Alec Faust, why are you here?" Steven was intimidated by his hostility. "We are family friends. You'd better behave yourself."
Alec grabbed him by the collar and lifted him off the floor. "Where's Jenny Walter?"
"Jenny Walter? Who's that?" Steven was dumbfounded.
"Still lying to me?" Alec hurled his punches at Steven before lifting him off the floor again. "The restaurant admitted to drugging her. So, where is she now?"
He knew Steven's crooked behavior well, which was why he hurried over just in case he was too late to save her. Steven, disoriented after being punched, answered, "Are you talking about Dr. Walter? She's not
here... Ouch!"
Another punch landed on Steven's body, and he collapsed to the floor.
"I will give you one last chance. Tell me. Where is she?" A storm was brewing in Alec's eyes. If he couldn't find Jenny, he might actually go mad.
