Chapter 103: Chapter 103
Actually, Anna is not the one causing trouble.
She also wants to know what on earth happened?
Originally, she was taking a taxi from the hospital to the restaurant, but she ended up being followed along the way. Several black cars approached from different directions, forcing the car she was in to stop.
Then in broad daylight, before she could dial the police, several mysterious men got out of their cars and forcibly took Anna away.
She suspected it was a deliberate revenge by some dismissed employees from Dynasty Entertainment. But after Anna was shoved into a car by the mysterious people, she didn’t have time to see who orchestrated the crime before she felt a sharp pain in the back of her neck, as if she had been chopped by a hand.
Before fainting, she realized that this attack was much more vicious than that previous pretentious bullying group!
When Anna regained consciousness again, the first thing she did was to observe her surroundings using her gaze.
But she could only see in three directions, as she was tied up, bound to a chair.
Anna looked around at her surroundings, it seemed to be an abandoned warehouse. There were no visible windows, but there was a chilling, eerie air brushing across her neck.
When she looked at the wall on her right, it was even more frightening; there were many torture instruments hanging on the wall, even a whip, chainsaw, and branding iron she could only see during filming... This definitely confirmed it wasn’t the same group targeting her at the company.
Anna was pondering when suddenly a man’s voice came from behind, startling her.
"Who are you?" She wanted to turn her head to see clearly behind her, but her vision was limited. She could only vaguely make out a tall figure silhouetted against the light.
"Who are you?" Anna asked again.
"There’s no point in asking my name now, because... you’re a person close to death."
"Ha, I grew up being scared!" Although Anna found him intimidating, she couldn’t show weakness now, "A grown man bullying a girl, how despicable are you?"
"You’re still a girl?"
"Yeah! I have my ID in my bag, if you don’t believe me, come over and check whether I’m still a minor."
Upon hearing this, the man behind her didn’t move: "Smart woman, you’re trying to lure me so you can see my face clearly? But your bag is with me, I’m not interested in how old you are."
No wonder Anna didn’t find her handbag when she woke up, it turned out he took it.
This test wasn’t entirely pointless, Anna found out this person seemed not to know her.
If he had captured her specifically because she’s Anna Thornton, surely he would know her explosive news about having a child.
But when Anna claimed she was underage, he didn’t even refute it.
"Mister... Mystery, we should be strangers with no enmity, right? I’d advise you to release me before I see what you look like, and we’ll pretend this never happened. Because I have an important meeting, the other party is a big shot with a bad temper, if I’m late, I’ll get scolded. And if he finds that I missed the meeting because of you, you’ll have trouble too."
Anna half-truthfully and half-bluffingly turned it around on him, then heard the man snort coldly: "You’re going to meet Henry Willow? Just relying on that waste marginalized by the Willow Family, do you think I’ll be scared?"
"More than just know him!"
Listening to how this person mentions Henry Willow, he seems quite disdainful.
Was it someone sent by Marilyn Ford?
Has the Ford Family taken action against her so soon? Wouldn’t think so.
"Well... There’s something I must say beforehand. If you know Marilyn Ford, it’s best to report to her before doing anything to me. I’m not lying, a reckless makeup artist once caused me trouble in her name and ended up getting fired."
"Marilyn Ford?" When the person behind mentioned this name, they were equally dismissive, "I’m not close with her." ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ novel·fire·net
This person showed disdain when mentioning Henry Willow and didn’t seem to think Marilyn Ford was remarkable either, Anna judged he must hold power in Aethelgard, otherwise, he wouldn’t dare kidnap her in broad daylight.
Then he must be from one of the four big families!
But aside from Henry and Marilyn, Anna doesn’t have much contact with them.
Could it be because of Ethan Hawthorne... Someone from the Hawthorne Family is here to cause her trouble?
As Anna was guessing left and right, the person behind voluntarily revealed the reason for capturing her: "My sister is Henry Willow’s official girlfriend, and you stole her man!"
Anna recalled Conrad Sterling telling her that Henry’s girlfriend’s surname is Grant.
So is it the Grant Family causing her trouble?
"Wait a minute, what did you just say? I stole your sister’s man? Young Master Grant, I think you may have misunderstood something? My relationship with Henry isn’t what you think."
"If you don’t admit it, don’t expect to leave here alive today."
Anna: "..." Where is this headed, forcing someone to admit something that’s not true?
"Your denial means nothing, Jenny saw you with Henry Willow herself, my sister doesn’t lie."
Not believing her words nor allowing her to deny, what else can Anna say?
She could only helplessly sigh: "Did Miss Grant ask you to warn me to stay away from Henry?"
After Anna asked, she didn’t hear a response from the other side.
At this moment, the man behind suddenly stood up, and Anna could hear the sound of his footsteps gradually getting closer.
Due to the warehouse being too empty, the echo of the footsteps felt like it was pounding against her head, the longtime presence in the dark carried a decisive brutality that made her hair stand on end and her scalp tingle.
"Mister... Big Shot Grant, you tell your sister to rest assured, I honestly didn’t plan to steal her man, I promise never to frivolously chat with Henry Willow again."
Anna’s guarantee seemed useless, as the man, when he was getting closer behind her, suddenly changed direction to the right.
She turned her head and saw a tall figure wearing a black jacket, hair over shoulders, picking up a whip from the wall covered in torture devices, playing with it with great interest, the scene was very eerie.
"I’m not asking you to stay away from Henry Willow. On the contrary, I’m asking you... to steal him away!"
Anna stared intently at the whip in his hand, trembling with fear as she translated, "You mean to tell me, you want me to steal your sister’s boyfriend? Are you kidding?"
Anna: "emmmm..." What kind of twisted request is this?
The man suddenly turned around, his alluring, deep face full of transparent threats: "You don’t have a choice, if you don’t want to suffer, do as I say."
The twisted person is surprisingly handsome!
