Chapter 364 In For A Penny And In For A Pound
Kate said, "I happen to have something to discuss with you. It is about the newpany. I think we
can''t be idle. Although I usually take care of the child, I can''t always let my parents manage the
domestic industries. You should also help, right?"
Such an obvious hint made Murphy excited. His eyes shone with excitement. "I don''t want to be in
charge of thepany. I just want to stay with you and Florence... You''ve been standing there for a
long time. Let''s go home. You should have a good rest with Florence..."
Kate nodded with satisfaction and held his hand tightly. "Okay, let''s talk about it when we get home."
Murphy thought that it would take some time for L to go through the divorce formalities with Jacob,
so he could send Kate back first... If ording to what Kate had said, he would soon be able to
manage thepany!
The more Murphy thought about it, the more excited he became!
He couldn''t wait to let Kate continue, but he knew that haste made waste. Especially when facing a
smart woman like Kate, he couldn''t be too anxious.
But his thoughts and expressions were clearly seen by Kate!
Kate knew that Murphy''s ambition had never disappeared.
At the same time, Jacob and Anna searched all the bathroom, but they didn''t find any trace of L.
They still couldn''t get through to her.
Jacob frowned and made countless phone calls. Over and over again, his heart was getting colder and
colder.
"Who can tell me where she is?"
Anna gasped and said, "Mr. Jacob, where else can L go? I searched everywhere, but I didn''t see
her. She doesn''t go back to the party yet. If she goes anywhere, she will contact me! Now there was no
news at all. It was really frightening! I''m a little worried..."
"Nothing will happen! Anna, you need to go and check the surveince video here right now! Inform me
as soon as there is any news!" After ordering Anna, Jacob also call a group of people to search L.
Ten minutester, all the people gathered together.
"Mr. Jacob, we have searched the whole building, but found no trace of Mrs. L. I think she must
have left long ago."
"No!" Anna came in from the outside and looked pale. "I''ve checked the surveince video. L didn''t
leave here at all!"
Jacob''s face changed slightly and frowned, "She..."
Anna showed the video she had taken to Jacob and said, "Look, she went into the storehouse and
stayed there for a long time. After Kate came out, a group of delivery workers came in. The delivery
workers came out soon and then L didn''t appear."
Jacob''s heart beat faster and his face turned pale. He asked in a trembling voice, "Which floor is this
on?"
"Ten floors!"
And then Jacob disappeared in a sh.
Anna ran after him.
When the two of them rushed into the warehouse, they only saw a coat, which was L''s.
With his eyes wide open, Jacob pointed at that coat and said, "This is L''s coat. I picked it for her
myself!"
"No one is here now! Mr. Jacob, L is not here. How could she disappear without a reason?"
Holding the coat tightly, Jacob said coldly, "No, she didn''t disappear out of thin air! She was taken
away! Anna, send someone to check the identity of the delivery workers and find them! They must
have taken L away!"
"Okay, I''ll do it right now!"
All of a sudden, Jacob stood there, recalling that an hour ago, he had been to the bathroom before he
found that L was gone, as if he had run into a group of delivery people.
At that time, he had a strange feeling and missed L. So he quickly turned back from the bathroom
and began to look for her...
He thought, ''Did we really pass by each other?
His heart was full of sadness and anger. ''Who on earth is it? Why did he take L away?''
An hour and a half ago.
L was waiting for Kate in the warehouse when a group of men in worker''s clothes suddenly rushed
in. She was shocked. "Do you have something to do? Then I''ll go out first..."
But soon L found that these people''s eyes were unfriendly, as if they wereing at her.
"Who are you?"
"Stop talking nonsense with her. Go and knock her out!"
L was shocked to see a maning over. He held her hand and knocked her out.
They looked at her and said, "Tie her up and put her inside!"
And then the crowd moved quickly and went out as if nothing had happened. When they passed the

bathroom, L suddenly woke up and saw a figure through the crack. She sobbed...
"HMM... HMM... Ah..."
L opened her eyes wide and kept calling, but her voice was drowned in the noise.
''It''s me, Jacob. I''m here! Why didn''t you hear me?''
L kept shouting in her heart, hoping that Jacob could look back!
But Jacob just left without looking back. Her heart sank.
Then someone closed the gap and she fell into darkness.
L felt that they got on the car, but she didn''t know where they were going to drive and what these
people were going to do.
She thought in her mind, ''It is Ellie? Celia? Sean? Murphy?
Who could it be?
Celia won''t do that, and neither will Sean do anything to me. Because he wants me to be with Jacob
well... And Murphy won''t find out that I am lying to him!
Ellie?
Did she do it?''
After a long time, in the darkness, L finally felt the shaking car stop.
She had to close her eyes and pretend to faint, waiting to see what they would do next.
Soon, someone took her out and put on an eye patch for her.
"Brother, what should we do?"
"What? That person wants us to kill her, so we can..."
Hearing this, L was shocked!
''Who is trying to kill me?
Ellie? Does she hate me so much that she wants me to die?''
"Don''t be silly. We can''t kill people! If we are really found out, will Jacob let us go? Be smart. Just throw
her into the mountain and let her die!"
"What if she is found and we still fail? Then we can''t afford to offend that person!"
"Don''t worry. She won''t be able to get out of the deep forest. And we don''t kill her ourselves! Ask
someone to put her in a bag and throw her there!"
Hearing this, L struggled to sit up immediately. "No, you can''t do this!"
"Why is she awake? Hurry up and knock her out, or else it will be bad for us!"
"Who wants to kill me? Can you let me go? I''ll give you the money! No matter how much money it is, as
long as you let me go!" L had to use a dying tactic to persuade them with money, but they didn''t
budge.
"Do you really think we did this for money? Humph, you really underestimate us!"
Bang! L was knocked out again.
What bad luck.
L didn''t expect that these people were not for money, nor did they have any grudge against her. She
wondered they was doing this to repay someone''s kindness.
When she opened her eyes again, she heard creepy sounds everywhere. It was very scary, especially
in the darkness.
L stood up and looked at the boundless darkness, stiffened.
