Chapter 114: Chapter 114: Kidnapping
Sophie Allen felt her scalp being pulled so harshly it was painful, her eyes stung but she held back her tears.
She gasped for breath,"You went to great lengths to drag me here, surely not just to beat me up, right?"
After saying this, she looked around the scene. It was an old, abandoned factory. The smell of engine oil was a bit unpleasant. Apart from Emily Allen, there were also, Mia Stewart, and her ex-boyfriend who cheated on her—Ryan Richard.
"So, everybody’s here? Even that dog Ryan."
At the mention of "dog Ryan", Emily Allen lifted her hand and slapped Sophie Allen even harder.
The slap was off target, causing a ringing in Sophie Allen’s ears. She wasn’t sure if her eardrum had been damaged.
"You really are stubborn, Sophie Allen. Still defiant even when you’re on the verge of death," said Ryan Richard, grimacing in disgust, using harsh words.
"You’re the one who’s despicable. When we were together, you never wanted to give in to me. But, once you climbed into Stardust Garden, you readily went there. What right do you have to scold me?"
"Huh....."
Sophie sneers.
She almost forgot, these three in front of her, were really good at setting traps and slandering someone. They would say that white is black, their words could tarnish her reputation so badly that she has no way of clearing her name. Not to mention all three of them together?
"Sophie, Ryan, stop wasting time on this lowly girl, we have important matters to deal with,"
Mia Stewart interrupted their cussing and took out a document from her bag.
She looked down on Sophie, and coldly instructed, "Sign this, and we will let you go."
Sophie looked up to see that this was a document labeled in bold, large letters: Fragrance Formula Transfer Agreement.
Not this contract again!
They really are greedy! Killing Aunt Watson, living guiltlessly, and now they are still after her fragrance formula.
Sophie’s eyes turned blood shot, she lifted her eyelids to look at Mia Stewart, struggled to hook up the corners of her mouth, and spat out: "Pah! In your dreams."
She spat directly onto Mia Stewart’s face, which made Mia hastily back off as if she was splashed with poison.
In an instant, the image of a high-society lady was gone. Mia lifted her hand and slapped Sophie twice, her voice turning sharp: "Sophie Allen, how dare you spit on me!"
"Sophie, don’t hold back this time!"
Upon hearing Mia Stewart’s words, Emily was immediately excited, gripping Sophie’s hair she started to beat her.
As Sophie was spun around by the blows, she lost her breath several times. She could taste something flowing out of her mouth—it must have been blood seeping from where she was injured.
Suddenly, a nauseating feeling welled in her stomach. Also, the smell of petrol in the factory intensified her discomfort, making her vomit violently.
She used this opportunity to vomit right onto Emily, who was taken aback.
"Ah...Sophie, are you trying to disgust me on purpose!"
But Sophie had no strength left to vomit, let alone retort.
When she had no means of resisting, Ryan Richard forcibly grabbed her hand and stamped it on the transfer agreement.
As they were leaving, they untied the rope binding Sophie, spewing some ridicule and insult at her.
Sophie really didn’t care about what they said, she only felt distressed for her fragrance formula, her heart and soul, just gone like that...
After taking some time to recover, Sophie regained a bit of strength. However, she was unable to stand, only managing to crawl around, dragging herself out of the factory.
In this desolate outskirts where wild grasses were overgrown, her phone had been taken away. She was so desperate she felt like crying out to Heaven but there was no response, nor any resonance from the earth.
She felt hopeless, gave up struggling, and simply collapsed on the ground.
In the last second before she closed her eyes, a ray of light shone into her eyes.
A blurry shadow appeared in her line of sight.
She was so tired...
