The inside was spectacular.The extremely well-designed house with a blend of modern and traditional styles. There was a natural sense of rusticity.This place looked like it was suitable for monks, not arms dealers.Nicole recollected her thoughts and followed him inside.A woman with a beautiful figure went over to the man. The fragrance was so strong that it seemed like she sprayed several perfumes.She looked like a typical Southeast Asian beauty that was sexy and voluptuous. She was extremely gorgeous.“Honey, you’re finally back! I missed you so much…”She jumped into the arms of the tall and thin man.The man laughed, slapped her on the ass, and picked her up for a passionate kiss. After he had his share, he let go of her.The woman slumped shyly into his arms, looking dissatisfied.The man wrapped his arms around her waist and wanted to press her body against his.Nicole stood there somewhat awkwardly. She did not want to watch a live show.Could someone just settle
The man looked at Nicole with cold eyes and put the phone to his ear.“Mr. Ferguson, our supposed friendly meeting was ruined by you. Do you regret it?”If Eric was really engaged to Angie, then they would have been sitting together cordially for dinner at that very moment.Eric’s voice sank. “Caleb, what do you want? Just say it straight.”The man laughed lightly and raised his eyes to look at Nicole coldly.“Mr. Ferguson, you’re not as cold-blooded and heartless as what Angie described. You’re very affectionate toward Ms. Stanton.”His tone was mocking.Eric suppressed his anger and impatience. Eric did not dare to provoke him because Nicole was in his hands.“Caleb, you’d better make sure that every strand of her hair is intact. Or else, I’ll make sure Angie gets a terrible death.”Rage and hatred surged in his chest. Eric did not care if what he said was overstepping the limit.The man’s face sank instantly.“You dare?!”Although the two men were separated through the p
Mitchell frowned and immediately realized something.“There’s news about Ms. Stanton?”Eric nodded seriously. “Tell the Stanton family that they don’t have to worry. I’ll bring her back safely.”Mitchell nodded joyfully. “Understood. I’m glad that Ms. Stanton is okay.”He paused and hesitated. “But are you going by yourself? That’s Caleb’s base camp. If you’re not prepared, you might be in danger especially since Caleb hates you so much…”Eric took out a spare from the drawer. His gaze was indifferent. “I’ll find help. Go contact the Security Bureau and get them to send Angie over later.”Mitchell hesitated. “Wouldn’t it be a waste of effort to send her back? Besides, the Security Bureau may not necessarily listen to us…”Eric’s tone was cold and firm. “They will because I’m going to take them to the real Caleb.”Mitchell was astonished. At that moment, he did not say another word and went to make preparations.Everything was arranged properly.The moment Eric was about to bo
Clayton was going crazy looking for Nicole these days. At first, he was extremely panicked, but when he calmed down and analyzed it, he knew that this incident was not really directed at Nicole but Eric.Thus, his people have been keeping an eye on Eric.Sure enough, Clayton knew about the call from Southeast Asia as soon as Eric answered the call.All those hacking techniques that Clayton had learned earlier in his life were now very useful.Even if Grant did not tell Clayton that Caleb had contacted Eric, Clayton still had a way to find out.The international number had been specially processed, but it was not difficult to investigate it.Clayton also knew that on the night of Eric’s engagement, Eric went somewhere else and did not attend the engagement ceremony.Indeed, it was a very clever trap. With Angie’s identity, the Security Bureau was probably the last place she wanted to go.Not to mention, Angie was armed with a gun and injured people, so she could not get away wit
Nicole looked at the woman in front of her who had such charming eyes that could seduce people.There were very few men who could resist such a woman.“You’re his girlfriend?”The woman scratched her head, flipped her hair, and smiled.“Yes and no. He has many other girlfriends like me. It’s just my turn now. He could have all kinds of women he wants, so why would he stick to one girlfriend?”Nicole closed her mouth. She forgot that she was in the territory of an arms dealer.How could she think from a regular person’s perspective?The woman stared at Nicole. “Actually, you’re also very beautiful. Didn’t Caleb sleep with you?”Her gaze was sincere without a trace of jealousy. She was purely curious.Nicole’s face changed. She immediately retorted.“No, of course not! I’m a hostage, so how can he hurt me?”In fact, Nicole was not very confident when she said these words.So far, she was only safe and sound due to her good luck.If Nicole ran into an unreasonable person, she
Nicole paused, thought about it, and followed over.It would be impossible for her to run now.After all, she could not outrun a bullet.The man walked over slowly and leisurely with his men. His gaze swept sharply over Nicole’s body.“You brought her out?”The woman nodded and smiled. “She was locked up in the room. Even if she’s not scared to death by you guys, she’ll also scare herself to death! I thought that she might as well come out for a breather. We need to give preferential treatment to our hostage!”Caleb sneered. His eyes were cold and sharp with a layer of gloom. “How kind of you.”He fumbled with the gun in his hand and aimed it at Nicole as he looked at her. “Aren’t you afraid that she’ll run away?”Nicole’s face tightened slightly.The woman laughed joyfully as she pulled out a pocket pistol from her chest and spun it around in her hand.“What are you afraid of? If she doesn’t behave, I’ll just shoot her…”She said it as a matter of course as if she had long
Others echoed and laughed.“Yeah! If you lose, will you offer yourself up?”“Hahahahaha! That’s so worth it!”......Nicole rolled her eyes and told herself that she must bear it.She must bow her head under someone else’s roof.Nicole stood there and raised her gun like a professional.Although Nicole did not have any practical experience, she would often go to the shooting range with Kai and Ian to practice. Thus, she was familiar with guns.Previously in the company’s team-building event, Nicole was also good at shooting.Thinking about that, Nicole boosted her self-confidence and thought that she had a better chance at winning.Nicole slowly took a deep breath, then held the gun steadily and aimed it at the target in front.The three men on the side did not take it to heart and were still making jokes about Nicole.Soon, Nicole steadied her mind and twisted her wrist. The direction of the gun suddenly changed as she pointed decisively at the three men.They were less t
Nicole looked at the needle that stuck out from her chest. After the pain, she felt a dense soreness and numbness. She felt that half of her body was stiff and numb.After the shock, she felt the fear of having escaped a calamity.She should be thankful that the gun was not real.It was just a scary tranquilizer gun.Cold sweat started to break out all over her body after she came to her senses.Nicole almost forgot that she was in the territory of an arms dealer. Was she not just creating trouble for herself?In front of her, Caleb’s face changed. He had a cold and evil look on his face when he stared at her. He then looked at her sternly.“It seems that I was too polite to you before, Ms. Stanton. You can stay somewhere else tonight.”After saying that, Caleb walked around her and left.Nicole did not feel good. She did not know how strong the anesthetic was.The numbness started from her chest. Half of her body went numb and gradually spread to her whole body.This feelin
