Chapter 172
I could vaguely feel someone lifting me into a car. The bumpy ride to a certain somewhere was the only
thing I could recall after I heard them starting the car.
As much as I wanted to shout for help, I couldn’t. In the end, I passed out with fear lingering in my
mind.
By the time I regained consciousness, I found out I couldn’t even stretch my limbs because I was
confined in a cramped and pitch-ck space.
“Have you brought her back? Are you sure you have gotten the right person?”
“I’m pretty sure because she looks just like the one in the picture!”
“Get her there and teach her a lesson immediately!”
When I heard the content of their conversation, I started shivering in fear. I must have gotten unlucky to
be kidnapped when I was as poor as a church rat.
Who are they? Why have they abducted me?
I was certain no one would want to abduct me because of my limited wealth and connection. In other
words, abducting me would just be a waste of their effort and time.
Someone once told me ether was usually made use of by the criminals to take out their targets. I
couldn’t believe there would be a day I got to experience it firsthand.
I tried to reach my phone in an attempt to reach out to somebody for help, but I noticed it had been
taken away from me.
The moment I heard the muffled sound produced when I identally knocked on the wall behind me, I
ruled out the possibility of me being confined in a gigantic box.
While losing myself in the process of thought, someone pried the box open from behind and grabbed
my hair, dragging me out of the box.
It took me a few seconds to snap out of confusion and bring myself up. Someone approached me and
raised my chin against my will. He yelled, “She’s the one! Tie her up!”

I tried to flee, but I was taken into custody after a few seconds. They brought me back and tied me up
as instructed.
I shrieked and asked, “What do you guys want from me? I’m just a poor woman! I can’t even afford to
pay you anything!”
“Ha! You’re not able to pay us, but someone acquainted with you can!” The man grinned and added, “I
can’t believe you’re the wife of the almighty CEO! I guess you’re worth quite something, huh?”
Upon a simple glimpse at the men surrounding me, I saw the two at the elevator and another man
standing next to them. That particr man remained silent and stared at me in the eyes with an eerie
look.
I gulped and med Crystal for my misfortune. Had she refrained from disying the affection she had
for Lyle in the restaurant, these bunch of men wouldn’t have gotten their hands on my whereabouts.
Ugh! Why am I the one suffering because of someone else’s action? If they’re that capable, why don’t
they abduct Crystal instead?
If Crystal has been abducted, Lyle will get them everything they desire! As for me, Lyle will just deem it
a waste of his money!
I tried my best to calm myself down and negotiated with the vicious-looking man, “Aren’t you aware
Lyle is filing for divorce with me? You won’t get anything if you abduct me! Why don’t you set me free?
I’ll keep everything to myself!”
“You don’t get to order us around! Also, don’t try anything silly unless you wish to spend some quality
time with my friends over there!”
He caressed my cheek with his fleshy palm. “I guess you’re quite a skillful one when ites to having
some raunchy fun, huh?”
I felt a chill running down my spine because of the disgusting thoughts they had. If they were to carry
out the things they had in mind, I wouldn’t get to retaliate against them.
The only source of illumination avable in the pitch-ck room was the patch of sunlighting from
the hole above.
As soon as they departed, I started surveying the surroundings to see if there was anything I could use
to cut the rope. Unfortunately, luck wasn’t on my side. I had no choice but to break the rope with brute
force.
Spending time alone in the pitch-ck room had sent me to the endless loop of despair. Christopher
was my only hope. I secretly prayed he would notice something was wrong soon.
