While speaking, the man’s dagger was pressed further on Dolores’s neck. A cut with blood appeared
instantly.
The four bodyguards froze and dared not to move again.
Victoria was so panicked. Pulling the man, she begged, “Please! Don’t hurt her!”
The man could tell that Victoria cared about Dolores a lot. He gazed at her fiercely. “I can let go of her.
As you get in the car, I can consider letting her go.”
“Okay. Okay. I promise you. But you must promise me that you won’t hurt her...”
The man went impatient. He snapped, “Shut the fuck up! If you want to save her, get in!”
“No!” Dolores begged Victoria in a hoarse tone, shaking her head. As long as Victoria stayed with her,
they still had a ray of hope. If she got it, she wouldn’t be able to escape.
Ignoring her, Victoria bent over and sat in the minivan. There was a driver in there. He looked back at
her. Without speaking, he started the engine.
The man looked at the four tall and strong men nearby him and sneered. “No matter how strong your
fighting capabilities are, it’s useless. You have the weakness, and you are destined to fail.”
The four bodyguards’ faces were tightened. They clenched their fists, but they dared not to take any
action despite Dolores.
The man took Dolores into the minivan.
Dolores struggled, but he threatened her with the knife fiercely. “If you don’t want to die, just behave
yourself!”
“Didn’t you promise me you’ll let go of her as long as I go with you?” Victoria was sitting in front of the
door to block it, avoiding the man from taking Dolores in.
“If you dared to stop me again, I’ll kill her now. Believe it or not! I kidnapped her just because I don’t
want those bothering bugs to pester me. When we arrive somewhere safe, I’ll let her go. Our target is
you.”
In face of the threat, since it was about Dolores’s safety, Victoria had to compromise again.
Besides, the man said that she was the target, so she didn’t think they would hurt Dolores.
The man dragged Dolores to sit in the car. The narrow space made them uneasier. Dolores’s nerve
was too tensed that she even couldn’t feel the pain in her neck.
The minivan rushed out.
“You two, stay and make calls. Protect the kids. We’ll chase them.” One of the bodyguards calmly and
quickly made the arrangement. Then he and another bodyguard hijacked another onlooker’s car,
chasing the minivan.
The driver of the minivan found the car that was following them, so he sped up more and more,
stepping on the gas with all his strength.
He was too afraid that the car behind them would catch up with them, so he focused on the back and
ignored the front. The minivan ran into the reverse lane. The driver didn’t pay attention to it until he
heard the truck’s honks.
However, the truck was way too close to the minivan at that moment.
By instinct, the driver tried to change the direction. The minivan rushed into the greenbelt on the
roadside. The truck from the opposite couldn’t break on time. It rushed into the back of the minivan,
which was exactly the side where the man who kidnapped Dolores was. The man instantly fainted. In a
panic, Dolores pulled away from his hand on her neck.
The minivan ran fast. With the push from the truck, the minivan ran through the short fence. With a loud
bang, it didn’t stop until it had hit the pillar of the billboard.
The hollow pillar couldn’t bear such a huge impact of the minivan. It cracked. The billboard with
triangular support originally lost one of its supporting power and would fall at any time.
The man who kidnapped Dolores should receive the hit on his head, so he instantly fainted. Blood flew
along with his head, staining his whole face. The minivan was damaged seriously. The driver in front
had already stopped breathing.
Dolores was troubled in between, couldn’t move her legs at all.
“Mom, are you all right?” she asked in a weak tone.
She didn’t know where Victoria had been injured as she looked pale. Victoria returned to her senses
dizzily. Seeing that it was Dolores who called her, she tried hard to open her eyes. “I’m all right. How
about you?”
“I can’t move my legs.”
Crack--
They heard some noise. Victoria looked up and found the billboard was about to fall. If it smashed on
them, they would die for sure.
She plucked up her last strength, pedaled the front seat, and pressed Dolores down on the back seat,
protecting Dolores between her and the seat.
“Mom...”
With a huge roar, the billboard broke down, smashing the minivan below it.
Victoria’s body was pressed down instantly. She stopped a few centimeters above Dolores’s belly.
Blood dripped along her neck.
It fell on Dolores.
Dolores widened her eyes in fear, tears welling up in them. She said between sobs, “Mom... Mom...”
Victoria put on a smile on her face. “Protect yourself. Protect your baby.”
“Help! Anyone? Help!” Dolores started yelling for help desperately. However, she couldn’t let out any
loud sound because she was running out of strength, becoming quite weak.
“Mom, you must hang on there. You haven’t seen Samuel and Simona go to school yet...”
“I’m afraid I can’t anymore...”
“Yes, you will! You haven’t heard Matthew call your mother. Please... You’ll be fine... Help!” Dolores
cried out hoarsely, using all her strength. “Help!”
“Lola, listen to me,” Victoria said in a weak tone, exhaling, “I have no regret now. Please help me take
care of him and protect the baby in your belly...”
“Mom...”
WY Group.
All the office was deadly quiet, extremely depressing.
Jayden asked Kevin to take the man who was sent to White City by Matthew for the investigation. “Is
he hired by you?”
The man asked around what happened to Victoria in White City back then and was found by Kevin, so
Kevin called Jayden.
Matthew stood in front of the French window, casting the man an indifferent glance.
The man lowered his head immediately. “I’m sorry. I...”
“Leave.”
“Yes, Mr. Nelson.”
That man walked out of the office and closed the door.
Originally, Jayden changed his mind and wanted to tell Matthew the truth. Since Matthew started to
suspect, it should be a good chance, so Jayden didn’t think he needed to hesitate about how to start
the topic.
“What do you want to know? You can ask me instead.” Jayden sat on the sofa, winking at Kevin to ask
him to sit down.
Kevin looked over at Matthew. He wanted to say something but stopped.
Judging from Jayden’s expression, Kevin guessed that he wanted to tell Matthew something. Kevin
believed that it would be more suitable for Kevin to tell Matthew about it, so he sat down quietly next to
them.
“Since you sent someone to look into the matter, you should have some suspicion or know something,
right?” Jayden didn’t wait for him to answer. He added, “Jolene and I respected each other but we
didn’t love each other. She had a beloved man, and I didn’t want to force her either. She felt sorry for
me...
“Then she sent Victoria to me.” When Jayden mentioned Victoria, his voice became a bit sliding as if he
had recalled things that had happened in the past.
Matthew’s tightened chin emanated sharpness right now. He slowly turned around to stare at Jayden
coldly.
“I know if I’m telling you the truth now, it’s unfair to you. After all, we have hidden everything from you to
make you misunderstand. So you hate...”
Buzz...
The cell phone on the desk suddenly started vibrating, interrupting Jayden’s unfinished words.
Matthew stood motionlessly. The phone vibrated again and again, but he didn’t answer.
Bang!
The door of the office suddenly was pushed open from the outside. It was Boyce. The bodyguard kept
calling Matthew but no one answered the phone, so he called Boyce.
Standing at the door, Boyce looked quite solemn. “Something happened!”
