252 The Shocking Kidnapping Case
An hour later, the car arrived at Richmond Arts University. After Isabella politely said goodbye and got out of the car, Cedric suddenly said, “Wait a minute. Sothing just ca to my mind.”
“What is it?” Isabella leaned over to the window and asked.
“Normally, the organizers will keep the drafts of the award-winning designs.”
Hearing this, Isabella was dumbfounded. Cedric smiled as the car drove away...
“The organizers will keep the drafts...”
“Finally! It is no longer a ss!” Isabella was overjoyed and murmured.
Looking into the direction that the car left, she rubbed her nose and muttered, “Great! This al was worthwhile.”
“I failed to see her clearly at night. I didn’t expect this young lady to be so beautiful.”
Peter comnted as the car drove out.
.....
“It’s a pity that she doesn’t have a good temper. She’s not cute at all,” Joey comnted.
“Whatever! She won’t be our young mistress anyway. Who cares?”
Cedric had been silently looking at the rearview mirror all the way. When he heard this, he interrupted their conversation, “Why can’t she be your young mistress?”
“She has a boyfriend!”
“She has no interest in you, Mr. Cedric! What a stupid girl!”
The two expressed their opinions respectively.
“Stupid girl? She is not stupid at all.”
Cedric smiled, “She knows how to protect herself and is very careful with strangers. She is much smarter than both of you. As for the boyfriend ... is that a problem?”
“What? Do you plan to pursue this eccentric young lady?”
“I’m just a little interested at the mont.”
Cedric shrugged and said indifferently, “Anyway, my parents ca back to ask to find a girl for marriage and childbirth. With a girl that I’m interested in seems perfect.”
“Wow! Mr. Cedric is going to take the initiative. Did you get her number?”
“No, I didn’t.”
Cedric curled his lips. “We are fated. I believe that she will contact soon.”
...
Seeing that it was about ti, Isabella called Joseph as she walked into the university. But he did not pick up.
Another call was made, but it was still missed.
“Not here yet?”
Isabella stopped her steps and sent Joseph a ssage. In this way, even if he wasn’t here yet or it wasn’t convenient to answer the phone at the mont, he would know that she was concerned about him when he saw her ssage later.
She thought, “Well, what a thoughtful girlfriend I am!”
“Isabella.”
The sudden call startled Isabella. She turned her head and saw that Lukas had already arrived behind her.
At the thought that she had left Lukas there last night, Isabella felt a little awkward, “Lukas, when did you co back?”
“This morning.”
Lukas lowered his eyes. “Did Joseph make things difficult for you?”
“He was a little angry at the beginning, but then I managed to ease his anger.”
Isabella giggled, “He is cold on the surface but warm on the inside. I got him well under my control!”
“OK. It’s fine if you can handle it.”
Lukas smiled bitterly, “I was scared that he would do harm to you seeing him being like that at that ti. But I was also worried if I followed you guys, he might be even angrier, so I didn’t.”
“It’s fine. He is a bit sharp-tongued and will ask to go away when he’s angry, but he has never hit . He’s a gentleman, which is totally different from Carl and John.”
“I am glad that he is good to you.”
“Do you want to give you a ride? You may need to walk more than ten minutes if you go on foot.”
“It’s fine. I like to walk.”
Seeing that Lukas was no longer entangled, Isabella smiled happily, “You can just go. I will tell you later my great harvest today.”
“Great harvest?”
“Yes, about Carl’s restaurant!”
Happy to see that Isabella was positive, Lukas nodded. “See you later.”
In a good mood, Isabella texted Joseph a ssage and then hurried to the set, where she found all the staff was discussing sothing in huddles.
“What happened?”
Isabella asked Sally, the girl who had been putting on the makeup for her.
“Do you know Stella Bell? She was kidnapped by a crazy film fan! The kidnapper has released a video and said that he was going to kill her! Jesus!”
“Stella Bell? The Chinese girl who is active in Hollywood?”
“She is so beautiful and amazing. She has always been my idol!” Isabella said in surprise.
“Right! She is the glory of the dostic showbiz!”
Sally said regretfully, “But it seems to be quite serious this ti. I just heard from Director Lee that Stella had been kidnapped for a few days. It’s just that they didn’t fulfill the kidnapper’s requirents. So he released a video today, saying that he will kill her and die with her.”
“Oh, my god! This is too crazy!”
Isabella clenched her fists in anger. “What does he want? Just give him if he wants money! I believe that even crowd funding can do it. Stella has a huge number of fans!”
“Co on. It’s not about the money. That crazy fan might be a psycho.”
Sally wiped Isabella’s face as she said, “It is said that he wants to marry Stella.”
“Marry her? How is that possible?”
“That’s the point. But this kidnapper seems to have an underworld background, so the police are also in a difficult position. It is probably because of the hatred caused by love that he threatened to kill Stella directly. That video was so scary. If you don’t believe , look.”
Sally took out her phone and showed it to Isabella. There was a video.
In the video, Stella was sitting in an empty space that seed to be a warehouse. Her hands and feet were tied to a pillar.
The next minute, a hand reached over and gently stroked her forehead, eyes, and cheeks. The touch was very gentle as if soone was carefully stroking his precious treasure. Then, her small chin was raised by the hand.
However, Stella’s big eyes were filled with tears. Obviously, the person in front of her was very scary.
The light of the footage suddenly dimd, and then a man’s blurry silhouette appeared. He leaned down and gently kissed Stella, who struggled and scread, “No! No!”
Then the footage ca to an abrupt end, only a blood-red sentence was left, which was “If I could not get you, then I choose to destroy you.”
“Gosh!”
Isabella exclaid, “It’s so scary...”
“Yeah, I don’t understand the world of celebrities. But seen from this man’s silhouette, he looks not bad. If it is , maybe I will accept it. Stella is really tough.”
“He’s handso, but he’s still a bad guy. Sweetie, you are too naive.”
