Chapter 1172: The Kidnapping Of Esther


    Chapter 1172: The Kidnapping of Esther


    Wesley Eastman never failed to get what he wanted, from childhood to this day. But having his arm


    twisted and broken by Chris Shelby ignited a fire of revenge that he could not quench. As Chris


    walked away coldly, Eastman''s eyes darted with a frosty murderous intent.


    "Chris Shelby, since you are so ignorant of death, do not me me for being ruthless!" Eastman


    swore, his voice thick with menace.


    After teaching Wesley Eastman a lesson, Chris returned to the diner. "Chris, you''re back?" Juliette


    asked as he entered.


    "Yeah," Chris nodded, his tone nonchnt. "Just Wes Eastman, barely took a moment to handle."


    Juliette and Esther showed no surprise; it was clear to them that Wesley was no match for Chris.


    After finishing their meal, the group went home, settling back into their everyday lives filled with the


    simple joys of family and leisure.


    Meanwhile, Wesley was plotting in a luxurious presidential suite of a five-star hotel. "This is Esther''s


    photo. Your task is simple - bring her to me," hemanded, handing over a photograph of Esther


    to ten master-level practitioners, all fiercely loyal and secretly trained by the Eastman family for


    years.


    The ten nodded, needing no further instruction, and quickly left to carry out their orders.


    As evening descended, Esther and Juliette exited their office building. Chris hadn''te to pick


    Esther up, staying home with Hope who''d been shaken by a previous kidnapping incident.


    Suddenly, an ear-piercing screech of brakes filled the air. A van skidded to a halt in front of them,


    and ten master-level practitioners swiftly descended.


    "Esther, watch out!" Juliette yelled, rushing to her defense, but despite being Chris Shelby''s sister


    and herself a master-level practitioner, she could not fend off ten assants on her own.


    This is property ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    Esther cried for help as she struggled futilely against the kidnappers who swiftly forced her into the


    van. The vehicle sped away, leaving Juliette in tears. After growing close over the past few months,


    the two women had be like sisters, and Juliette''s pursuit of Chris hadn''t diminished their


    friendship.


    With Esther taken, a distraught Juliette immediately called Chris. "Chris, it''s terrible! Something has


    happened to Esther!" she blurted out over the phone.


    "What happened?" Chris asked urgently.


    "It''s hard to exin over the phone. Please hurry over!" Juliette replied with a sob.


    Chris''s worry deepened, and he raced to the site. Upon arriving, he found Juliette alone, near tears.


    As Chris approached, she broke down: "Chris, Esther was kidnapped! These men suddenly


    appeared from a van and took her!"


    Chris''s face darkened with rage, sensing the ominous motives behind the kidnapping. At that


    moment, Bull Parker, responsible for Esther''s safety, arrived with his team, apologetic for their


    failure.


    "I thought no one would dare touch Esther here," Parker admitted, his oversight a grave error in


    their security.


    Chris was furious. "Are you all useless? Secure her safety! Now find her!" hemanded.


    Parker mobilized two hundred thousand members of the East Coast security firm,mencing a


    massive search to locate Esther across the region.
