Chapter 365 The Kidnapping


    The next day, at Horace''s office.


    Horace was going through the documents. Suddenly someone knocked on the door.


    Without looking up, Horace said coolly, "Come in."


    "Horace, you must be tired. Take a rest. You shouldn''t work all the time."


    A girl''s voice rang out. It was familiar, tender and affectionate.


    But Horace frowned when he heard it.


    He thought it was the assistant. Why was Laura? Why did shee to his office?


    "Why are you here?" Horace put down the paper and looked at her grimly.


    Laura was still in the wheelchair. She didn''t dress up today. She was in a in white dress with a wool


    nket on herps. Her makeup was also very light. With long ck hair, she looked very fragile and


    delicate.


    There was a lunch box on herp. At Horace''s cold remarks, she bit her lips and was close to tears.


    But soon she looked up and smiled, "Horace, I''m afraid you might get too tired, so I cooked soup for


    you. You should taste it when it''s still warm."


    Laura opened the lunchbox and the aroma of food soon filled the room. The lotus root was stew

    together with green beans. It was very soft and sweet. The soup looked luscious and smelled


    wonderful. Laura nodded with satisfaction.


    She wasn''t good at cooking at all, and it took too much effort to prepare a soup. She wasn''t that


    patient. This was cooked by the nanny.


    He didn''t need to know this, for sure.


    He only needed to know that she cared for him, which was enough.


    Laura served it in a bowl and ced the bowl in front him. She whispered, "It''s delicious. You should


    taste it."


    "I''m not hungry. Leave it there." Horace didn''t reach for it. Laura was embarrassed for a moment, but


    she soon regained confidence.


    "Horace, I''ve been cooking for hours. Please, please try it." Laura acted pettishly and softened her


    voice. Average men would fall for her instantly. She held the bowl closer to him.


    "I said I''m not hungry." Gu Chi still didn''t reach out and even dodged it. "Plus, don''te to my office


    again if it isn''t an emergency. And don''t bring me soup again."


    "Why?" Laura was embarrassed and annoyed. "Is there something wrong with me? Why do you treat


    me like this!"


    "Laura, I have already told you that I took care of you just out of guilt. I have no other feelings for you.


    Don''t you think you''ve crossed the line? We''re not boyfriend and girlfriend!"


    Horace didn''t have the patience to beat about the bush and blurted out what was on his mind.


    "I don''t believe it. How can you have no feelings for me after years!" Laura didn''t expect to hear the


    cruel words from his mouth, so she teared up. "Is it because ra? Do you see her again? What did


    she tell you?"


    "What does it have to do with her?" Horace couldn''t stand her paranoid behavior.


    "If it weren''t for her, we would have been together!"


    "Don''t deceive yourself. Let''s make it clear. I don''t date you because I don''t like you. It has nothing to


    do with ra. I''ll never date you no matter what."


    Laura burst into tears. How could it be possible? She didn''t believe it! She had loved him


    wholeheartedly for years, and even sacrificed her legs for him. How could he not like her?


    Horace was annoyed by her cry. He thought it was better off to have a showdown, so that she wouldn''t


    dream about them together. He needed to draw a line.


    Suddenly the phone on his desk rang.


    Impatiently, he picked it up. The receptionist said, "Mr. Kirnd, Mr. Sean Kirnd of Kirnd group


    wants to meet you. Do you want to meet him?"


    "No." Horace hung up immediately.


    Sean couldn''t bring any good news and would only cause him more trouble. Laura was already very


    bothersome. He had no extra time nor energy to deal with him.


    "Laura, today..."


    Ring-ring-ring.


    He just wanted to sort out everything with Laura, the phone rang again.


    "What?" Horace''s forehead furrowed.


    "Mr. Kirnd, Mr. Sean Kirnd insist to meet you. He said that he wanted to tell you something


    important about Miss ra Hutchinson." The voice of the receptionist was shaky. Mr. Kirnd sounded


    upset. Would he throw a tantrum at her?


    Hearing ra''s name, Horace hesitated for a moment. He couldn''t help wondering why Sean would


    like to talk about ra.


    "Let him in." He wanted to know what Sean wanted to say.


    Laura stopped sobbing when she eavesdropped on the conversation. Her face turned pale. She had a


    bad feeling.


    What was Sean going to tell Horace?


    Soon the assistant came in with Sean. Sean felt a little guilty seeing Laura was also there.


    He and Laura cooperated to kidnap ra then. They realized their purpose respectively. Laura kept


    her promise and helped him get the video to threaten Horace. It took a toll on the Solrace Corporation.


    But today he had to betray her.


    But he had to do it. If ra released the document, his career, future and life would bepletely


    destroyed.


    "What happened to ra?" Horace didn''t get up nor greet him. He directly asked what he cared most.


    If it was in the past, Sean would be furious. He would point at his nose and scold him for being


    disrespectful, although he didn''t act like an elder brother himself.


    But today Sean couldn''t care that much. He was suffering from the inward struggle, and hesitated to tell


    the truth in front of Laura.


    But in the end, the care for his own interests prevailed. Sean said hesitantly, "I... I''m here to tell you the


    truth about ra''s kidnapping back then."
