CHAPTER 293 TAKEN

"I don't know." Henry put down his glass. “Let's wait for Joe to investigate. Aside from that, the man showed some respect for the Lancasters. That could probably mean that his influence isn't great, possibly o n par with the Lancasters, but hidden in the shadows.”

"Would the perpetrator cause any harm to him then?" Yvonne began to deduce the situation in her head.

Henry caressed her hair. "I doubt so. If the man wanted to go against the Lancasters deliberately, he would not have shown any respect or mercy.”

"That's true." Yvonne nodded and kept quiet after.

Henry suddenly poured her a glass of water. “Don't worry, I won't release Dominic no matter what."

Yvonne nodded and said, "I believe in you."

"Come on, let’s eat." Henry pulled her up from her seat.

The couple walked towards the dining table.

The next morning, Henry left during the wee hours. According to Sue, he was on the way to personally greet a real estate tycoon that had just arrived from overseas to discuss a project for a resort.

Yvonne had not asked for more details. She assumed that Sue would not have the answers even if she asked.

Just as Yvonne walked out of the villa, two men in black suits approached her.

Yvonne scanned both men with a glance and moved sideways to let them walk by-she had not thought too much of it.

However, both men suddenly stopped as they stood right in front of her. Yvonne immediately retreated in defense and had her guard up reflexively.

She had intended to turn around and flee after she had taken two steps back.

The men had not expected Yvonne to react so defensively. They looked at each other for a moment before flanking Yvonne on each side and grabbed each of her arms before carrying her out of the main gates. 1

Yvonne panicked, her facial expression distorted as she began to shout, "Let me go, Let me go. Help me Sue, Help..." 1

Before she could finish shouting, she felt a blunt force on her neck and went unconscious. She did not know what happened after.

"How noisy can this woman be!"

"Forget about it, let's hurry up and get out of here, someone might see us."

Immediately after speaking, the unconscious Yvonne was swiftly taken away with each man carrying her b y her arms.

When Yvonne woke up, she had no clue how long she had been knocked out.

She opened her eyes and realized she was lying on the floor in a dark room. There were no lights in the room for her to scan her surroundings.

"Where am I? What is this place?” muttered Yvonne to herself curiously. She attempted to hold herself up with her arms, but the pain in her neck prevented her from even moving her body.

She took a breath of the cold air to counteract the pain in her neck, then she reached out her hand but realized she couldn't even touch her neck as even the slightest touch would trigger the pain. Her tears began to flow as the pain overwhelmed her.

The man who had knocked her out did not show any mercy!

Creak!

The door began to creak open.

Yvonne put down her hand from her neck and turned t o look at the door to see three figures walking towards her, their faces covered by the darkness.

The two figures on the sides were wearing black suits, so she could tell immediately that they were the ones who had knocked her unconscious and brought her there.

As for the man in between them, Yvonne squinted her eyes to focus. The man was around the same height as her and was dressed strangely. He was slouching and used a cane to maneuver so he was obviously aged.

Of course, that wasn't the most surprising thing. What was surprising was that the old man was wearing a mask.

Was he being so mysterious to hide his true identity from her?

"Who are you?" Yvonne fought back all her fear and glared at the old man.

She knew that the old man was the one making the shots there.

The old man was slightly surprised at Yvonne's calmness and couldn’t help but glance at her a few more times before walking to the sofa in front of her and sitting down. "Aren’t you afraid of me?”

His voice was so croaky that it wasn’t just painful to the ears to listen to but also slightly terrifying.

Yvonne took a deep breath and grabbed onto her chest where her heart was thumping uncontrollably. "I am afraid, but would that make you let me go?"

"No!" muttered the old man as he placed his cane on the coffee table.

Yvonne pursed her lips. "Since you’re not going to let me go, would me being afraid of you be beneficial anyhow?"

The old man snickered and grinned. "You're quite the smart one."

"You jest. May I ask you a few questions?" asked Yvonne. Before the old man could reply, she had already continued to ask her question, "What do you intend to achieve by kidnapping me to this place? I don’t know you, do I?"

When she mentioned the word kidnap, her tone was filled with both confusion and rage.

The old man did not answer her. Instead, he merely waved his hand.

Yvonne thought that the old man was gesturing for the men behind her to teach her a lesson and stiffened up.

But the truth was she had overthought things, the old man was merely thirsty and ordered the man behind him to pour him some water. exclusive content.

The old man coughed a little after finishing his water before saying, "You don't know me, but you should know Dominic Conrad, don't you?"

Yvonne immediately realized what the old man had meant, and her mouth gaped open. "You're the one who helped Dominic for a chance to appeal in court?"

"That's right." the old man nodded his head.

Yvonne squinted her eyes. "The police rang me yesterday saying that Dominic wished to see me, but I refused. Is that why you've deliberately kidnapped me here today?" "That's right," admitted the old man.

Yvonne was even more enraged, and her fists were clenched tightly. "What are you planning to do?"

"Sign this!” The old man brought out a file with some documents out of nowhere and threw it in front of her.

Yvonne glanced at the file and could guess what the contents were without opening it. "I refuse!"

She looked away stubbornly.

The old man shot her a look so cold that the temperature in the atmosphere began to lower as well. "Little girl! You should appreciate my kindness while I'm being nice.”

Yvonne did not reply and pretended not to hear him, she was quietly planning a way to make contact outside.

She knew it was impossible to run away from this place!

With the two men in black suits standing there, they would immediately grab onto her if she had the slightest intention of fleeing.

Therefore, she could only think of a way to save herself or wait for someone to come to her rescue. Henry would be her only hope. Surely he must have known about her kidnap by now, and there

must have been someone who saw what had happened to her near her villa area.

As she thought of this, Yvonne felt a glimmer of hope through all her panic. She was patiently hoping for

Henry to find her.

The old man saw that Yvonne was being ignorant and had no intention of signing the document. He even noticed that she was deep in thought elsewhere and was enraged. His cold eyes squinted from behind his mask.

"Well well, this is the first time someone has actually ever ignored me. Little girl, let me test you to see if you're just all bravado, or if you actually have something hidden up your sleeves. You two, grab onto her and make her stamp the documents, seeing that she isn't willing to sign it herself," ordered the old man.

The men in black acknowledged and headed towards Yvonne.

"Don't you dare come near me!" Yvonne's pupils contracted and she hid her hands behind her back while frantically running around in the room to avoid capture.

However, how could a mere weak woman run away from two well-built men?

She was captured by the men almost instantly.

One of them picked up the file on the floor and opened up an inked pad while the other held onto Yvonne tightly and grabbed her wrist before pressing her thumb onto the pad.

Yvonne struggled vigorously as she shouted, "No, let g o, let go of me!"

However, her cries fell on deaf ears as the two men did not seem to feel any pity for her no matter how hard she screamed, and forcefully pressed her thumb onto the document in the file. A huge red thumbprint was now on the document.

Yvonne froze as she saw her thumbprint on the document, and her mind went blank with only two words left inside.

Oh sh*t!
