Chapter100
“Who is it!” came the voice of a middle–aged woman, followed by her husband.
The couple saw the situation and were shocked on the spot.
“What are you doing!” the middle–aged woman shouted sharply.
Seeing them, Adelaide felt like she had caught a lifesaver. Luckily, the fat pig didn’t have any ideas of taking her to some deserted place, this was a village with people living in it.
“Please help me call the police, they kidnapped me,” Adelaide tried to stay calm as much as possible, but her voice still
trembled.
Those two men ran away.
Zayne was nowhere to be found.
Reginald found this place before the police did.
“Adelaide?!”
Hearing Reginald’s voice, Adelaide just took a sip of water and immediately stood up.
“Mr. Thorton?”
Chapter100
Adelaide was a mess right now, covered in half–dry, half–wet mud all over her body, with scratches visible on her face, neck, and hands, but they had all been quickly taken care of.
Reginald didn’t say anything, just sighed, then took off his coat
and put it on her.
“Can you walk?” His voice sounded like it was being weighed
down by a rock, deep and gloomy, yet gentle.
“Um, Adelaide was actually fine, at least nothing too dangerous.
I should thank them first.”
Knowing that it was this couple who saved Adelaide, Reginald
asked Nathan to prepare a generous gift to thank them.
When Adelaide was walking, she tried to walk as normally as
possible, but she was still discovered by Reginald.
Without saying a word, he picked up the person horizontally.
“No need to…!”
“Don’t move around, or we’ll both fall down together.” They
were walking on a narrow path by the field, one wrong step
and they could really fall down.
That couple used to farm wheat and rice here.
After the police arrived, Adelaide spilled the beans on the whole
Chapter100
kidnapping ordeal and revealed the location of the house. But
Zayne and all the equipment inside the house were gone, only her phone was left behind.
The police and Reginald’s people were all tracking Zayne.
Adelaide didn’t want to go back to the Sterling Estates now, she wanted to go to the Pierce’s place looking like a mess.
Zayne, the scapegoat, disappeared halfway, so Finley had to
come up with another plan in a hurry.
They had just returned home, father and son.
Adelaide got in Reginald’s car and the police car came right
after.
As soon as they heard the police car was coming, the Pierce
family all looked worried.
Jeanette panicked, “Wasn’t it already resolved? Why are the police coming to our house?”
“Mom, you go up with Amanda first,” Spencer urged.
Jeanette was at her wits‘ end, so she quickly grabbed her
daughter’s hand and went upstairs after hearing her son’s
words.
The police came in.
There were also Reginald and Adelaide.
Seeing Adelaide in such a sorry state with wounds, Spencer’s
face changed drastically: “Adele, what happened to you?”
Finley was only surprised by Adelaide for a second, then he was
completely shocked by Reginald.
How did he come with Adelaide?
The police said, “Ms. Pierce was kidnapped by a guy named Zayne. The suspect is still on the run, and we are currently
tracking him down.”
When this was said, Finley and Spencer both had a big change
in expression.
Finley incredulously asked Adelaide, “Adele, are you serious?
Zayne is the one who kidnapped you?”
“Dad, I can’t possibly be so capable as to collude with the police to come to the house and deceive you, and end up in such a mess.
myself,” Adelaide joked.
