Chapter 541
"Master Cedrick, good news! Miss Clark has been kidnapped!" Charles shouted excitedly.
Cedrick narrowed his eyes coldly. "What did you say?"
"The reason Miss Clark isn't here at the airport is that she’s been kidnapped, not because she wants to
refuse you!" Charles handed the video and screenshots of the surveillance footage.
Cedrick stared at the screen on the phone intently and saw Catelyn getting into a taxi, but the driver started
to drive further away from her destination and eventually turned to direct an evil smile at her.
'A taxi?' He thought to himself, 'Was she on her way here to the airport?'
For a moment, he felt as though he had ascended from hell to heaven. Of course, he quickly got over his
relief and excitement and became concerned with Catelyn's safety. He could not allow her to get hurt again.
Cedrick looked away from the phone and commanded coldly, "Find out where this taxi has headed to!"
20 minutes later, his subordinate came back and reported that they had located the taxi, but a bigger
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtproblem emerged.
The car was abandoned at the bottom of a mountain in the outskirts; the area was generally referred to as the
Forest of Death. Covered by large forestation, the landscape was complicated and the area was a habitat for
various kinds of wild animals, so no one would dare step foot into the area under normal circumstances.
Catelyn could have been taken anywhere in that vast forest.
Cedrick arrived outside the Forest of Death, regret filling his eyes as he stared at the never-ending sea of trees
before him. Had he not let Catelyn leave the night before or simply took her to the airport directly...
There was no point in wondering 'what if'.
"I've checked the perimeters, Master Cedrick. This forest is really dangerous. It's a swampy area too, so those
people must be very familiar with this area to take Miss Clark in with them."
Cedrick clenched his fists. "Find a few locals and bring them here. I need to ask them something."
Catelyn was carried away, and after what felt like forever, her kidnapper finally stopped and tossed her onto the
ground like she was a piece of cargo.
Her head bumped into a rock on the ground and she internally gasped from the pain, but she did not dare open her
eyes out of fear that the kidnapper would realize she was awake.
She should be safe for as long as she pretended to be unconscious.
Catelyn had no idea why she had been kidnapped. She originally thought that the driver wanted to rob or assault
her, but she was surprised to find out that there were others. She realized that there was a bigger scheme behind
this.
While the kidnappers were discussing something, she took the chance to observe her surroundings.
It was an abandoned old hut with wooden windows and doors, a large shelf in the center of the room, and fabrics
hanging on it.
The air was filled with a rotten scent, and she realized that it must have been a long time since someone had lived
here.
"Boss, are we really doing as our employer said? That's so much money..."
"Yeah. If he gives it to us, we won't be able to spend it all even if we have ten lives! We won't have to do this
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmsort of thing ever again."
The person with a scar across his face gave the other two a punch to the head and warned with a dark voice,
"Just because we can get our hands on that money, doesn't mean we get to spend it. Quit yammering on and
get to work."
'Employer?' She thought, 'Who hired them to kidnap me?'
Just as Catelyn was considering if Maia or Ivan had sent the assassins, she heard footsteps approaching.
Splash!
A splash of ice-cold water hit her on the face, and she shivered at the sensation before opening her eyes by
reflex.
The first thing she saw was a few towering men standing before her; their faces were unmasked and
revealed to Catelyn.
An ominous feeling had taken over her.
If they were not afraid of letting her see their faces, it meant that they had no intention of letting her go
alive.
