Chapter 1281Chapter 1281
A man roughly snatched Meredith's phone over. "B*tch! How dare you secretly make a call? I'll strangle you to
death!”
While scolding her, he switched off her phone.
Meredith was so frightened she immediately raised both hands. 'Ĩ...I only wanted to check and see if the
children are asleep. Guys, if you turn my phone off like that, my family will worry.”
"Let's them worry! I don’t care!" One of the men swept a gaze at her pretty face and nice figure. He narrowed
his eyes. "But pretty lady, if you obey me, I will treat you well."
Meredith was disgusted by his perverted gaze. She looked away.
The man forced her face to turn back. He asked once more, "So? Have you considered it?"
"Considered what?" Meredith asked, pretending to not understand.
"Consider whether you want to be with me."
"Dude, you must be joking, right?" Meredith measured him up in return. "Before accepting money to do a job,
don't you ever find out who your target is?"
"I’m not interested, as long as the price is reasonable."
Meredith sneered, "No wonder you're building castles in the air."
"What do you mean?"'Ĩ mean that if you're not afraid that Josiah Shelby will burn you to your ashes, continue with your
arrogant ways." Meredith took a deep breath, forced herself to be calm, and said, "I'm only afraid that
before your boss can look for you, you are already dead."
"Josiah Shelby?" The man thought for a while and shook his head. ”1 don't know him."
Meredith was speechless. She did not expect that there would still be people who did not know who
Josiah was.
Were all the headlines he was on in vain?
"Don't you...ever see the news?" Meredith asked tentatively.
"We just got released from prison not long ago. When would we have the time to see the news?" The
other party replied.
"Oh, no wonder." Meredith nodded her head.
While she was trying to distract the man's attention, the car entered a dark underground.
Meredith was secretly trying to guess where she was and where she should run if she ever escaped.
Since it was night, her vision was bad. She could not see clearly where she was until the car stopped in
front of a small door.
The man got out of the car and said to her roughly, "Stop trying to tell US your connections. It doesn’t
matter whose wife you are. It won't affect US from earning. If you know any better, you'll get out of the
car yourself."
Meredith looked at the small door out of the car.Through the small window on the door, she could see that it was completely dark inside. It was like an
underground storage room.
If she was locked inside, no one would be able to hear her no matter how she yelled.
"Hey, pretty lady, are you trying to get me to carry you out of the car?" The man smiled lewdly.
Meredith instinctively cowered back. She shook her head in fear. "What are you trying to do? L-let's talk."
"What is there to talk about?"
"For example, how much money the other party is paying you. I can double it. As long as you let me go."
It was so dark. On top of that, the people that captured her were two men. What if they...
She dared not imagine the scenario. Thus, to try to escape, she could only try using money to settle this.
She never thought that the men would reject her even before considering anything.
"But they said that as long as we did a good job, they would pay US handsomely." The man smiled greedily. "
That means that she will give US no matter how much we asked for!"
Who else but Mrs. Shelby has that much money?
