Hearing Cheyenne say that she was going to call the police and seeing the serious look of determination on her face, Karen was finally sure that Cheyenne wasn’t going to change her mind.
The thought that she might be arrested and spend the rest of her life in prison made her shudder. She hurriedly got up from the ground and said eagerly, “Fine, fine. I’ll leave now. You can’t call the police!”
With that, she hurriedly dashed out, fearing that Cheyenne would change her mind if she ran slowly.
Cheyenne watched her figure disappear from the hospital shrouded in the darkness of the night. She finally couldn’t help but fall to the ground and hug her knees and cry sorrowfully.
At this moment, Lucas, who was far away in the villa, also received the news.
“Lucas, do you want to get rid of that woman?”
Lucas stayed silent for a moment before saying, “Since Cheyenne has decided to let her off, let her go.”
Then he hung up the phone.
But Lucas was a little worried.
He was worried about Cheyenne.
He reckoned that after witnessing the horrendous side of her mother, Cheyenne would definitely be miserable and break down.
Lucas closed his eyes for a moment before immediately getting up and rushing to the hospital.
Right now, he should be by Cheyenne’s side.
——
It was close to midnight, and there was a black Nissan car parked quietly in front of the hospital.
It was hidden under the dim street lights, seemingly without a sense of presence at all.
Karen cursed all the way as she made her way out of the hospital.
She had just been caught red-handed trying to kill William, and Cheyenne didn’t want to see her again. Now, there was nowhere else she could go, so she had to go back to the shabby apartment.
At the thought of Cheyenne’s ruthlessness, she was even more resentful. Hah, so much for raising you to adulthood. How dare you treat me like this?! Just you wait for me!
When she walked by the black Nissan, the door suddenly opened, and two people came out and moved extremely quickly toward Karen.
Karen was terrified and wanted to shout for help, but her mouth was already covered by someone’s hand.
“Mmph!”
She struggled desperately, but she was no match for the two burly men and was soon shoved into the car.
The black Nissan was like a phantom, silently parked in the hospital late at night.
No one knew what was happening here.
…
Only after Karen was dragged into the car did the hand move away from her mouth.
When Karen broke free, she immediately yelled, “Who the hell are you people? What are you trying to do by dragging me into this car?
“I’m telling you, this is abduction and illegal detention. It will get you sentenced to jail. Do you understand?
“If you let me go right now, I promise I won’t sue you and hold you responsible. If you’re smart, let me out of the car now!”
The two burly men who had forced her into the car glanced at each other, and both tacitly remained quiet.
Karen’s intimidation had no effect on them.
“Hah, you’re really funny!” A woman dressed in black sitting in front suddenly snickered. “You just attempted to kill someone, and you even hired someone to kill the same person before. Yet you’re talking to me about the law now?”
Karen was instantly astonished, and her heart was in her throat.
Why does this woman know what I’ve done?
I just left William Carter’s ward. How does she know about the attempted murder?
Could this woman have been watching every move of mine?
Karen’s heart went cold, and she forced herself to feign ignorance as she said, “I don’t know what you’re talking about! I don’t know anything about hiring a killer or attempted murder! You… Who are you people? Have you… been following me all this time? I don’t remember ever offending you!”
As she spoke, her face became terribly pale, and even her voice trembled.
The woman in black sneered. “You don’t need to care about who we are. You just need to know that you yourself are a scumbag who even has the heart to kill your own husband. That’s enough!”
Karen suddenly felt as if her heart had plunged into an abyss. Oh my god!
They really know what I’ve done!
She had always thought that she had done it very secretively, but where exactly did it go wrong?
Who are these people?
She was panic-stricken, but now that she had been pulled into the car, it was impossible to escape.
God knows where they’re taking me…
While thinking, she suddenly realized that the car hadn’t moved and was quietly parked in place. Even the engine wasn’t started.
“You… what exactly are you doing?” Seeing this situation, Karen immediately began to struggle again.
“Shut up. Don’t move, or I’ll kill you now!” The woman in black in front suddenly turned around with terrifying killing intent in her eyes. Like a ferocious beast, she instantly made Karen shut her mouth in fear, too petrified to move.
Soon, a black Jaguar drove over and slowly stopped in front of the Nissan.
The woman in black immediately opened the door, got out, walked to the Jaguar, and respectfully welcomed a tall young man.
“Lucas, Karen has been controlled by us and is now in the car,” the woman in black said respectfully to the young man.
“Okay, thanks for your efforts,” the young man said indifferently.
The tall young man was naturally Lucas, while the woman in black was Skylar, who had only started being Lucas’s subordinate two days ago.
The person Lucas had arranged to secretly protect William was Skylar, so she naturally knew every move of Karen like the back of her hand.
Karen, who was extremely nervous in the car, was terribly frightened when she saw Lucas, and her eyes widened in horror! “You! Lucas!”
After she saw Lucas get inside the car, she immediately stretched out her finger and lashed out at him. “How dare you! I’m your mother-in-law. How dare you get someone to kidnap me? Do you believe that I will inform Cheyenne of this and make sure that you can’t bear the consequences?”
She was afraid of others, but she had gotten used to facing Lucas, who often let her curse at him without saying a word in the past. So she not only didn’t feel the slightest fear toward him, but she even reflexively scolded him without hesitation.
“How dare you!” Skylar shouted and slapped Karen hard on her face. “If you dare to insult Lucas one more time, I will kill you immediately!”
