Gloria Taylor was driving while watching Loren Taylor’s car behind her.
There was a sharp turn toward the abandoned garage.
After Gloria Taylor turned, she didn’t see Loren Taylor’s car again. Contents belong to NovelDrama.Org
She stopped at the gate of the abandoned garage.
The rusty shutter door was pulled open from the inside and a tall, big man came out. He was wearing a mask and looking at Gloria Taylor gloomily.
“Are you Gloria Taylor?”
“Yes.” Gloria Taylor nodded.
“Have you brought the money?”
Gloria Taylor said calmly, “I want to see my mother first.”
The man looked around to make sure that she came alone. He turned around and came inside, “Follow me.”
Gloria Taylor followed him inside.
The old abandoned garage was a mess. The ground was covered with thick layer of dusts. There were piles of unused stuff on the corners.
Gloria Taylor followed him and saw Tina Walker tied to a chair.
Tina Walker’s well-groomed hair was not a mess. She was pale and looked unkempt.
She was gifted with beauty, but her age ate it up.
When Tina Walker saw Gloria Taylor, her eyes burst with surprise. Her voice was hoarse, “Gloria, you’re here!”
“Are you alright?” Gloria Taylor walked approaching her with a flat face.
Tina Walker smiled and nodded, “I’ll be fine since you’re here! Give them they money, please! They just want the money!”
At this moment, the man who took her inside just now stood in front of her. He reached out his hand, “Where is the money?”
“You don’t give me enough time. I can’t find that much money.” Gloria Taylor said calmly, “Since you know that I’m the daughter-in-law of the Clarke family, you know that the Clarke has a black card, accessible from the anywhere in the world. Can I give you that card?”
His face changed, “Are you kidding me? Do you think I’m stupid? If I take this black card, you will have it frozen and call the police to arrest us!”
Gloria Taylor’s face changed. Indeed, she thought so.
Another man behind this man stepped forward and said something to him.
The man who was wearing a mask raised his hand to her and said, “I can let the old woman go, but you have to come with me to get the money.”
“Deal.” Gloria Taylor agreed without looking at Tina Walker.
After they let go of Tina Walker, she looked at Gloria Taylor and said in panic, “Be careful!”
Then, she quickly ran out.
Gloria Taylor smiled mockingly. She said nothing.
She took the black card and handed it to the man.
Instead of reaching for the card, the man reached out his hand to the back of her head and cut her neck.
Gloria Taylor blacked out for a moment. Before passing out, she tried to recall what happened today.
She realized something was wrong, but it was too late.
***
When Gloria Taylor woke up, she realized that she was no longer in the abandoned garage.
She was still in daze, but she heard someone talking, “Is the Taylor who hires us?”
“It’s exactly this woman’s family.”
“What sorcery is this? If we do something to this woman… will the Clarke come looking for us?”
“Do you forget that Mrs. Clarke was kidnapped ten years ago? It didn’t end in reconciliation. Wealthy family wants their reputation.”
Gloria Taylor was shivering badly. She felt the cold was piercing through her bone.
When she went to the Taylor’s residence, she broke Anne Taylor’s bowl, but Anne Taylor didn’t get angry.
Anne Taylor didn’t let her call the police.
Gloria Taylor was so anxious at that time because she thought that it was a matter of life and death. She had no expectation for Tina Walker at all, but she couldn’t see Tina Walker die helplessly.
It turned out that she was too green to compete with Loren Taylor and Anne Taylor.
“Brother, she wakes up!”
That person saw her waking up.
Gloria Taylor’s face was cold as ice, but she was calm, “I heard what you said. The people who hired you, were they Loren Taylor and Anne Taylor?”
One of them snorted, “Why bother asking if you’re dying?”
“I need to know before I die.” Gloria Taylor talked as she looked around the room.
It was a living room with a set of sofa and a dining table. She was tightly tied into a chair and her body was a little sore.
“So what if I tell you? It is them who hired us. Don’t blame us if you die. Blame your bad luck.” The man saw that Gloria Taylor was beautiful, so he was willing to say more words.
Gloria Taylor felt that her luck was bad indeed.
She underestimated Anne Taylor too much.
What role did Tina Walker play in this kidnapping?
Did she know Anne Taylor’s plan since the beginning? Did she help Anne Taylor exploit her black card?
Another man came up and stared at Gloria Taylor with obscene eyes, “Don’t talk nonsense with her. We should leave Shanghai after this is settled. Who come up first?”
“Brother, you go first.”
Her pupil and her heart sank. She tried to break free twice, but the tie was too tight that she couldn’t move.
Last time in Zijin Club when Anne Taylor tried to harm her, she was lucky enough to escape, but this time, could she escape?
She was unwilling!
Gloria Taylor forced herself to calm down. She raised her head to look confident, “Do you think that the Clarke is easy to handle? Do you think anyone is alive after taking part in kidnapping the late Mrs. Clarke? Reputation is a great deal for the Clarke. Do you think that they will stay silent if other steps on their face?”
Mrs. Clarke they mentioned just now was Kenny Clarke’s mother.
When she found out that they waived, she continued, “Even if Anne Taylor gave you a lot of money, you will not be able to spend it alive. If you let me go now and leave Shanghai, the Clarke will not trouble you.”
“This girl is threatening us!”
“I don’t intend to live a long life either. Even if the Clarke won’t trouble me, the police will, but I have never slept with a beautiful woman like you. Today, I will.”
He was talking while reaching out his hands to her clothes.
Her face was pale.
She told herself not to be afraid. There must be another way.
The man was pulling her zipper down and now her jacket was opened. After that, he tried to sneak his hands under her sweater.
