Chapter 742 It Was Due to Lust
Lust faded from his body. All he cared about was not to die.
Josie continued aiming the gun at him, placing her finger on the trigger. She asked, “Who sent you?”
“I… I came here by myself!” The man was scared out of his wits, fearing Josie would pull the trigger. All his arrogance from before disappeared without a trace: Even his voice trembled.
She did not believe him and pushed the gun barrel harder against him.
“Miss, I’m telling the truth! I came here on my own due to lust!”
Josie was still suspicious and grabbed the chance to stand up. She recalled all her abductors’ efforts to kidnap her and guessed it was not just for sexual assault,
Thus, this man was telling the truth.
“Who ordered you to kidnap me?”
The man was terrified. “I… I don’t know. I’m only a lowly thug in La Oriele. I don’t even know who the higher-ups are.”
“How do you know I’m here? You said you’ve seen me before!”
“I’ve seen you a few times in La Oriele. L… I thought you were pretty.”
Josie pushed the gun barrel against his forehead. “What are these goods for?”
“I… I don’t know. They are probably for the nightclub. I’m not in charge of this.”
“Who’s in charge then?”
“Mr. Vipera…”
Josie realized something when she heard that name.
In the end, someone in La Oriel arranged my abduction, but why? Arnold is still in Rivodia. Even if it’s to threaten us, there’s no need to go to such an extent.
Josie finally figured it out. Unless it’s ordered by someone of a higher level than Mr. Vipera!
But who could it be? Could it be Wayne, the person they talked about?
“You dare to assault the woman they abducted. It seems like you have a plan
The man answered tremblingly, “People brought here never left this place. That’s why I dare…”
That explains it. Those people left me here to die.
Josie shoved the man away. “Scram!”
The man was indignant, but Josie held a gun. Thus, he had no choice but to stumble out of the warehouse. Surprisingly, he remembered to lock the door before he left.
Josie put the gun away. Her hand that held the gun still trembled visibly.
She was thankful for Dexter’s foresight. He ordered someone to give her a gun for self-defense.
Josie slowly sat on the floor and hugged her knees. She figured out the reason behind everything that had happened.
They abducted her to keep Arnold under control.
Her abductors must have thought she was important to him.
Arnold also figured this out around the same time.
He led his subordinates to leave La Oriele, only for Moses to stop them at the door. Moses said, “Arnold! We will never forgive you if Mrs. Russell is harmed in any way!”
Arnold’s expression turned grim as he stood with his hands behind his back. He had just discovered that Josie was missing but quickly figured out why.
“Bring your men and leave,” Arnold responded briefly. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.
Moses’ expression twisted in fury. “How could you say this?”
“I said, leave. I’ll bring her back for you! With that, Arnold led his subordinates and walked bodyguards before leaving in their cars.
The weather was gloomy, and rain fell unceasingly. Likewise, Arthur’s expression was as equally grim.
His car sped along the road and reached a remote yard on the outskirt of Rivodia. He exited the vehicle. and proceeded on foot.
A few men guarded the warehouse door. They stood up when they saw Arnold. “Mr. Carter.”
“Why is the security so strict today?” Arnold’s smile did not meet his eyes.
The men guarding the place exchanged glances. One of them replied, “We received a new batch of goods. They are important to Wayne.”
“I want to see them.”
“I’m afraid that’s not possible. Please don’t make things difficult for us.”
“What goods are they that I’m not even allowed to see them?” Arnold asked casually, looking at the men from the corner of his eye.
“They are important. We can’t reveal anything.”
