CEO's Dumb Bride

Chapter 143 She Was Gone

Chapter 143 She Was Gone

Julian's expression changed when she saw Harriet, and she became unhappy.

Julian was arrogant in the company, and even Nelson had to consider her mood. But Harriet completely ignored her, and she had already classified Harriet as her number one love rival, just like Lilian.

Harriet seemed to not even see Julian, not even giving her a single glance. Julian's anger surged as she felt ignored.

"Frank, you're taking her and not me?"

Only then did Harriet look at her. "Ms. Quinn, if you can help me, that would be great. Mr. Landau, how about letting Ms. Quinn handle this negotiation?"

Julian choked. She didn't know anything, so how could she negotiate?

Francis stood up and raised his hand to rub Julian's head. "Alright, stop causing a fuss. Just stay home and rest. I'll only be gone for three days."

Julian pouted and glared at Harriet with displeasure.

Harriet, with a professional smile, calmly met her gaze. Julian felt an unprecedented provocation.

Francis didn't say anything more and left first, followed by Harriet.

Julian looked at Nelson and asked in an angry tone, "Why aren't you going?"

Nelson replied, "I'm not included."

Julian furrowed her brows, becoming even more displeased. "So, only the two of them are going on this business trip?"

Nelson nodded. "Yes."

"What a tease," Julian muttered under her breath.

Julian only bullied the weak and feared the strong. She didn't dare to confront Harriet directly because Harriet had strong business abilities and was highly valued by Francis. If she acted unreasonably, Francis wouldn't side with her.

Nelson's eyelids twitched, and he couldn't help but take another look at Julian. Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

Every time he saw her, he would doubt Mr. Landau's taste. This woman was all looks and no brains, completely unaware of her own position. There were countless women more beautiful than her in the world, so why did Mr. Landau choose her?

Nelson felt that... Harriet was even better than her.

No, if Francis really ended up with Harriet, Lilian would have no chance at all.

Having worked with Harriet for so long, Nelson knew that in terms of tactics, IQ, and EQ, Harriet was extremely outstanding. She was very smart and tactical.

So, it was understandable that Julian regarded her as a rival in love.

......

Francis left for three days, and Lilian was really locked up for the entire time.

Fear was already nothing. Even a normal person couldn't bear to go hungry for a day, let alone Lilian who was already weak.

She had already lost consciousness in the small dark room on the second day.

Lilian slowly opened her eyes. The hunger she felt before losing consciousness had disappeared, but she realized that she couldn't move her hands and feet.

She shook her head, and her awareness became a bit clearer. Looking around, she couldn't get used to the bright light.

It was a bedroom that she wasn't familiar with.

Lilian suddenly panicked. She tried to stand up but realized that she couldn't move. Her body felt constricted, and when she looked down, she saw that her hands and feet were tied to a chair.

She began to struggle, but the ropes were tied too tightly. She struggled until her wrists and ankles were scratched, but she couldn't free herself.

Finally, she realized that she had probably been kidnapped.

But who had kidnapped her?

Lilian looked around, but it was quiet, not a single sound could be heard.

If it weren't for the sound of her own breathing, she would have thought that she had gone deaf.

Meanwhile, Francis returned from his business trip and headed straight to the storage room.

However, when he reached the door, he saw that it was damaged and about to collapse.

Light shone through the door frame, illuminating the scene inside the storage room - a dusty floor, with one area wiped clean as if an irregular circle had been drawn in the dust.

Through this clean area, he could even imagine how Lilian curled up on the ground.
