Eliza Sutton froze for a mont. "I didn’t pick Emtt up."
"But you called and told Youngest Master Lockwood to go outside and et you."
Eliza Sutton carefully questioned Mrs. Zimrman about the situation.
She learned that half an hour ago, ’she’ had called and told Mrs. Zimrman that she was parked at the gate, waiting for Emtt Lockwood to co out and et her.
The timing was cunningly chosen. It was so early that Mrs. Zimrman wasn’t even out of bed yet. She had heard Emtt Lockwood moving about and only had ti to ask him a single question before he left.
Seeing the look on Eliza Sutton’s face, Mrs. Zimrman’s heart sank. "Mistress, has sothing happened to Youngest Master Lockwood?"
Eliza Sutton didn’t answer. She imdiately returned to the car, grabbed her laptop, and checked for Emtt Lockwood’s signal.
Emtt Lockwood had gotten lost once before, so he carried several tracking devices. However, all the signals from his devices had vanished.
The smile on Eliza Sutton’s face slowly faded. The look in her eyes was terrifying, like a gathering storm.
"Woody, do you think I’ve been quiet for too long? Is that why soone thinks I’m a pushover? How dare they touch my child!"
Woody said sincerely, "Could it be possible they kidnapped Youngest Master Lockwood to get at the Lockwood Family? That it has nothing to do with you, the woman who’s been kicked out and is about to beco the forr Mistress?"
Did Eliza Sutton listen?
No.
Right now, only one thought consud her: soone was trying to harm her child.
Eliza Sutton’s fingers flew across the keyboard as she searched for Emtt Lockwood’s whereabouts.
Fifteen minutes later, Eliza Sutton had locked onto the vehicle that had taken Emtt Lockwood, morizing its location.
Eliza Sutton got out, walked to the driver’s side, and pulled the door open. "Get out."
Woody said, "Boss, let go with you."
"No need. You’ll just be in the way." Seeing that Woody hadn’t moved, Eliza Sutton simply dragged him out of the car.
Eliza Sutton slid into the car. The next second, it shot into the dawn like an arrow loosed from a bow.
「...」
「An abandoned factory in the western suburbs.」
Eliza Sutton brought the car to a stop. Before it had even settled, she threw the door open and strode out.
"Who’s there?"
Hearing the noise, the kidnappers guarding the main entrance rushed out.
When they saw that Eliza Sutton had co alone, their expressions imdiately relaxed.
The lead kidnapper stared at Eliza Sutton’s face, his eyes filled with awe and a lecherous glint. He taunted, "Well, look what we have here. Where did a little beauty like you co from? What brings you here?"
"The Second Master sent ."
"Ah, so you’re one of the Second Master’s people." The lead kidnapper sounded a bit regretful. "Pretty lady, shouldn’t you be with the Second Master for his big mont? What are you doing here?"
"The Second Master sent to check on Emtt Lockwood. How is he?"
"He’s hanging inside."
"I’m going to see him." Without waiting for the lead kidnapper’s permission, Eliza Sutton started walking toward the warehouse.
"Hey now, pretty lady. I don’t have orders from the Second Master to let you see him." The lead kidnapper blocked her path.
Eliza Sutton looked at the kidnapper. "No orders, no seeing Emtt Lockwood?"
"Yeah. We all work for the Second Master, so don’t make things difficult for . How about this? Give the Second Master a video call. If he says it’s okay, I’ll let you in to see the kid without another word."
"Alright. Why don’t you co over and make the call with ?"
The lead kidnapper agreed instantly. He couldn’t have asked for a better chance to get so close to a beauty like Eliza Sutton.
"Pretty lady—"
He had just started to speak when the scalpel in Eliza Sutton’s hand was pressed against his neck.
The cold steel of the scalpel made the hair on the kidnapper’s entire body stand on end.
"Hey, pretty lady, let’s talk this out. It’s not nice to just pull out a blade when we disagree."
Eliza Sutton tilted her chin. "Tell them to open the warehouse door."
The lead kidnapper frowned. "Girlie, you’re not with the Second Master, are you? You’re here to crash the party. Let warn you, don’t do this. This man is not soone you can afford to cross. Offend him, and you won’t even know what hit you. I’m telling you, turn back before it’s too late."
Eliza Sutton was impatient. "Open it."
As she spoke, she pressed the scalpel harder, piercing his skin.
Blood instantly trickled down.
The sharp pain sent the kidnapper into a panic. He imdiately roared, "What the hell are you all standing around for? Open it! Open the damned door and let the lady in!"
The other kidnappers hurriedly complied, and the large warehouse doors rumbled open.
Holding the lead kidnapper hostage, Eliza Sutton walked inside. Then, she saw him—Emtt Lockwood, his hands bound, hanging from a roof beam.
Emtt Lockwood’s little head was lolling, and he was completely still.
Eliza Sutton’s vision tunneled with rage. "Emtt! What did you do to Emtt?"
The lead kidnapper saw that Eliza Sutton’s hand holding the scalpel was trembling. Terrified that she would plunge it into his neck in her agitation and end his life, he quickly said, "Lady, calm down! He’s still alive, just unconscious! I’ll have him brought down right now. Quick, get him down!"
Soon, Emtt Lockwood was lowered to the ground.
Up close, Eliza Sutton could see the terrible state Emtt Lockwood was in. He had been abused; his clothes were torn in several places.
The tears in the fabric had been brutally whipped into it.
"You dared to hit him?"
The kidnapper hurriedly explained, "It was the Second Master’s idea! We had no choice! But we didn’t use lethal force. The little thing looks hurt, but they’re just superficial wounds. If you’re worried, go check on him!"
Eliza Sutton could hold back no longer. She rushed over and gathered Emtt Lockwood into her arms.
"Emtt! Emtt!"
Emtt Lockwood slowly regained consciousness. When he saw Eliza Sutton before him, a smile instinctively appeared on his face. "Mom."
Suddenly, Emtt Lockwood rembered sothing and said urgently, "Mom, you have to go! Second Uncle kidnapped ! It’s dangerous here, you need to leave, quickly!"
The lead kidnapper, now holding a baseball bat, sneered. "Thinking of leaving now? Too late!"
Eliza Sutton looked over and saw the lead kidnapper and his group of lackeys surrounding her and Emtt Lockwood.
The lead kidnapper said, "Do you know why we let you in?"
"To trap you, of course," another kidnapper said. "Once we’ve got you, you can’t snitch. Plus, you’re so beautiful, you can stay and serve our boss."
"Boss, once you’ve had your fun, don’t forget about us brothers."
"Don’t worry, we’re all one big family here."
"Mom, hurry and go! Don’t worry about ," Emtt Lockwood urged frantically, terrified his mother would get hurt.
That would be even more painful than being hurt himself.
"Emtt, do you trust Mom?"
"I do." Emtt Lockwood nodded without hesitation.
"Then close your eyes. Mom will be right back." Eliza Sutton placed Emtt Lockwood in a corner, and after making sure he was settled, she stood up.
"Which one of you hit Emtt?"
"I did." The kidnapper who had been jeering the loudest stepped forward. "What about it? What are you gonna do to ?"
"Good. It’s good that you dare to step up and admit it." A smile spread across Eliza Sutton’s face, but her eyes shone with a bloodthirsty, crazed light.
