"No... I..."
Rachel Shaw didn’t have ti to finish her sentence before the call was hung up again.
Looking at the darkened screen of the phone, Rachel couldn’t believe it was real. She held the phone, crying and shouting desperately, "Damien, Damien, it’s true, I’m in danger now, I’ve been kidnapped, Damien..."
But the call had no response.
Rachel Shaw was completely desperate, holding the phone and crying helplessly.
The man in front chuckled, stood up, glanced at Rachel Shaw on the ground, and spoke indifferently, "Let think about how to punish you."
"Are you seeking revenge for Ivy Sumrs? Or did Ivy Sumrs send you?" Rachel Shaw mustered courage, lifting her head and shivering all over while looking at the man in front of her.
"Who told you to be at odds with Ivy Sumrs?"
Ivy Sumrs!
Indeed, it’s Ivy Sumrs again.
Ivy Sumrs, Ivy Sumrs, Ivy Sumrs, why is everyone helping Ivy Sumrs?
Even Damien Lancaster’s call just now was asking about Ivy Sumrs.
What exactly makes her so lovable to them? Be it Noah Scott or Damien Lancaster, why do they all like her so much?
At this mont, Rachel Shaw’s eyes were full of anger, unwillingness, and jealousy.
"Is Ivy Sumrs really that good, really that worthy of your fondness?
She’s just a despicable woman I’ve trampled underfoot. Five years ago, she fled in disgrace after a fireworks display I arranged, even aborted her own child, and disappeared for five years.
How can this stupid and useless woman be worthy of your affection?"
Noah Scott suddenly squatted down, and Rachel Shaw, frightened, backed away. The man was staring at her, and being stared at by him, she felt a rising fear as if being watched by a demon.
"Yes, exactly this despicable, stupid, and useless woman gave you five years, and you? You haven’t even touched the edge of being Young Madam Lancaster, so what are you?"
This sentence pierced Rachel Shaw’s heart, making her tremble with anger.
There is no more heart-killing than this.
The man stood up, his voice eerie, "Miss Shaw likes freefall, let her enjoy it."
Two subordinates imdiately walked over and grabbed Rachel Shaw.
Rachel Shaw seed to foresee what she would encounter next, shaking her head desperately, "No, don’t do this to , I’m the first daughter of the Shaw Family, the future Young Madam Lancaster. If you treat like this, both the Shaw Family and the Lancaster Family won’t spare you."
The man lit a cigarette, took a puff, and let out a disdainful chuckle.
He had made many enemies in his life and never knew the aning of "fear." If the Lancaster Family or the Shaw Family sought revenge, he would accompany them to the end. He was quite curious to see how formidable the feared Lancaster Family really was.
...
Deceiving soone once will lead to losing all trust from the deceived person.
Rachel Shaw had just attempted suicide last night; how could Damien Lancaster believe her the second ti so soon?
Damien Lancaster now only wanted to find Ivy Sumrs, but he had no leads. At this mont, Julian Jacobs ca over briskly, "Sir."
"Have you figured it out?"
Julian lowered his head, "There are no caras on the Ferris wheel, so it’s really impossible to know what happened inside the cabin. However, our people found a mobile phone last night."
Julian handed it to Damien Lancaster, "Looks like it’s Miss Sumrs’s."
The phone was already off, but Julian had seen the phone case of Ivy Sumrs’s phone, so he recognized it.
Damien Lancaster glanced at it; indeed, it was Ivy Sumrs’s phone.
No wonder he couldn’t reach her by phone no matter what.
...
Ivy Sumrs had just left the police station at this mont.
Last night, after returning to look for her phone, Ivy Sumrs found nothing; the phone might have already been picked up by soone.
Afraid Rachel Shaw would stir up trouble again, she reported to the police first and recounted everything that happened on the Ferris wheel.
Accusations of murder were too serious; Ivy Sumrs wouldn’t accept such a label.
As she was about to leave, she was stopped by the police officer who had previously handled Sophie’s kidnapping case. There was still one kidnapper on the loose, and there were still doubts, so the case was not closed.
The police asked Ivy Sumrs for so details, and Ivy told the police that Sophie later rembered whose voice it was.
It was Rachel Shaw.
After Ivy said this, the police hesitated for a mont and said they would investigate further.
Ivy was aware they were experienced officers; they knew this wasn’t a typical kidnapping case.
It’s just that they hadn’t found evidence proving Rachel Shaw’s involvent in this matter.
Rachel was still a mber of the Shaw Family, a family with power and influence. Since they had already arrested Rachel once, they couldn’t arrest her a second ti without evidence.
Ivy Sumrs returned ho to find the downstairs ss hadn’t been cleaned up. She found her spare phone at ho and called a renovation company; all the windows downstairs needed fixing now.
After arranging these matters, Ivy Sumrs went upstairs to change into a different outfit, ready to pick up Nathan and Leo.
In the morning, she had sent Nathan and Leo to Noah Scott. The events of last night left her deeply disturbed, and keeping the children with Noah Scott was safer for now.
Noah Scott had an estate in Aethelgard, and his n were all here.
Ivy Sumrs was respectfully invited in by Yanis Stone, "Ivy, please have a seat; Nathan and Leo are still playing shooting gas in the back."
"You guys shouldn’t be teaching them such things; they are still young, and it’s too dangerous."
Yanis poured a cup of tea for Ivy Sumrs, "Ivy, you don’t know how talented those two are. Plus, the boss is teaching them personally, and our people are watching, so there’s no danger."
Ivy took a sip of water and glanced around, "Where is he?"
Yanis knew who Ivy was asking about, "The boss ca back last night in a great fury, and he went out again with people this morning."
Ivy Sumrs didn’t ask further, "By the way, when are you going back? Did he say anything?"
"Ivy, didn’t the boss tell you?"
"Hmm?"
"The boss ca this ti to take you back."
"So you have to wait for together?"
"Yes."
Ivy did not know when she would go back. The divorce matter hadn’t been settled yet, and the longer she stayed around, the more tangled she would beco with Damien Lancaster, just like now.
Besides, with the main culprit behind Sophie’s kidnapping still at large, she was not willing to leave things as they were.
A trace of determination flickered in Ivy’s eyes as she lowered and lifted her head again, "Tell him for , don’t wait for , I still need to stay here for a while, not sure how long."
"Ivy, you have to tell him yourself; you know his temper. If soone else tells him, he’ll definitely get mad."
Ivy smiled slightly; his temper indeed was like that of a dog, "Okay."
Nathan and Leo ran out from inside, "Mommy."
Nathan and Leo still had their protective gear on, and seeing the sweat on their foreheads, Ivy wiped it with a tissue, "Look at you, all sweaty from playing."
"Mommy, we weren’t playing; we were learning to shoot. We want to protect mommy and sister." Leo said ambitiously.
Ivy looked at the two little ones with gratification, "Well, from now on, mommy and sister will rely on Nathan and Leo for protection."
Ivy stood up, ready to take Nathan and Leo back, "When he cos back, tell him for , I’m taking them ho first."
"Yes, Ivy, I’ll have soone send you off."
"No need, I drove here."
Ivy Sumrs left with Nathan and Leo. Just as they got into the car and drove a short distance, a car quickly drove up from behind, cutting off her car.
