Chapter 697: Chapter 697: Let Her In
When hearing this voice, Edie froze immediately. Her pupils shrunk and said in shock, "Are you... Victoria?"
Since Edie changed her identity, she didn’t contact with the Greg’s anymore. Greg lost much business from then on. It was no longer the leading family in A. It has been quite a long time since they attended the upper-class banquet. It gradually languished.
After her grandfather passed away, Edie didn’t go back to that house again. She didn’t know anyone else in that house.
When hearing Edie’s voice, she sniffed, "Quite impressive. I don’t expect you still remember me. I really believed you already died before. Do you know how painful I was when hearing that news? Thank god for telling me that you are still alive now."
Her voice sounded so weird as if each word she said was squeezed from the slit between the teeth. She sounded so cold. Her voice was filled with hatred. She wished to eat Edie up and drink her blood immediately.
Hearing her words, Edie frowned. Of course, she knew Victoria hated her. But she never did anything to her. It was Victoria herself that caused her grandpa’s death. It was Victoria herself that made herself almost be killed. It was Victoria herself that ruined Edie’s reputation. Edie never thought she owed anything to Greg’s. She already forgave them. What the hell did Victoria want from her now?
"Tell me directly. What do you want?" Edie asked her directly in a slightly cold voice. fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm
"Your daughter is gorgeous. Do you know about that? I am so surprised. I could even see your shape on her."
Laty...
Edie frowned. Her voice turned colder, "what have you done to Laty?"
"I invited her to be my guest. Do you want to join us?"
"What is she doing? I want to talk to her now." Edie said anxiously.
"She is sleeping now. She has already fallen into a deep sleep. I can take pictures and send them to you. I never expected you would have a girl. Do you know your gene is bad? Your mother liked sleeping with married men. So do you. When Laty grows up, she might be like you and your mother. She would be enjoying sleeping with those married men. Don’t you think...?"
Before she finished her words, Edie interrupted her in a cold voice, "Victoria, tell me directly what you want. You don’t have to say this nonsense in front of me. I know you hate me. You can get revenge on me. You can find me. Don’t you dare to hurt Laty, I would never let you go," Edie was so worried about her that she almost shouted out. She couldn’t help herself trembling.
When hearing this news, she felt so frightened.
Victoria hated her so much. Would she let Laty go?
"Okay. Edie, I can tell you directly now. I would send you the address. Come here right now. Don’t tell anyone else. Come alone. Otherwise, I would kill you and your daughter. You would not risk your daughter’s life, right?"
"Okay, I would come to your place right now." frёeωebɳovel.com
Edie hung down the phone immediately. Soon, she received two pictures.
It was Laty.
She was in a coma, being tied on the chair. Her mouth was covered with rubberized fabric.
The second picture was Victoria and Laty. Edie knew this picture was not composed. Victoria wanted to prove that Lay was in her hands.
Edie immediately called Brittany. She told her that Laty went to Avan’s house. She hadn’t come back yet. It was Avan’s secretary that picked up Laty in Brittany’s house.
Edie saw the secretary at her wedding. She still remembered him.
She called Avan. Avan told her that he never sent his secretary to pick up Laty. His secretary stayed with him all the time in his study room. He never left.
So...
It was not the secretary.
It was Victoria.
It was quite easy to pretend to be another man with makeup. Victoria must dress up like Avan’s secretary.
After ensuring Laty was really kidnapped, Edie immediately took action. Victoria wanted her to go there alone. To guarantee her daughter’s safety, she should go alone.
She told Deik to tell Stuart that she went to pick up Laty in the mansion. She also asked Deik to remember the time she left.
Then, she drove towards the address Victoria told her before. On her way there, she kept checking the time.
After fifteen minutes, Stuart finished the inspection. When he asked Deik where Edie was, Deik said,
"Mrs. Yates has already gone back to pick up Laty."
Hearing the answer, Stuart felt something wrong immediately. He frowned.
When Edie arrived at the house, she saw a small club. It was empty. Apparently, someone rented it. She walked into the hall, seeing no one there.
Victoria was in the largest box on the top floor.
Edie walked upstairs. She felt so nervous.
When the elevator door was opened, she saw too many guards in black standing in front of the door. Obviously, Victoria has been preparing for this for a long time.
A man walked to her and said in a cold voice, "Search."
Edie bit her teeth slightly. She knew she couldn’t hide her gun anymore. Stuart wouldn’t think she was threatened. She had no chance to fight back, not to mention taking her gun out to protect herself.
Those men took her mobile phone and ran away. They turned off the mobile phone so that others would not track it.
After the man took the gun into the house, Edie heard Victoria’s voice immediately.
"Let her in."
The door was opened. Edie walked into the house.
Though it was the day, the light was blocked outside by curtains. The light was turned off. Therefore, the room was so dim.
Edie didn’t see Laty. Victoria was sitting on the sofa, playing her gun.
It was so dark inside. Edie couldn’t see the expression on her face. But she could tell that Victoria was laughing right now.
She is laughing at Edie’s over-confidence.
Edie walked to her and asked her in a cold voice, "where is my daughter?"
Victoria got the projectile box bounced out and turned all bullets out.
The bullets fell on the carpet, making a low sound even though Edie felt dizzy.
Finally, Victoria shook the gun without a bullet in front of Edie and laughed out, "I am so surprised. You dare to take a gun here. Do you want to kill me?"
Edie didn’t answer the question. Instead, she repeated her question, "Where is my daughter?"
Victoria stood up slowly and squinted, fixing her eyes on Edie’s face in the darkness.
Edie was quite close to the door. The light from the door reflected on Edie’s face. Victoria could see it clearly.
This face...
A face that appeared in her dreams thousands of times.
She wished she could tear this face apart in person. She wished to destroy her face brutally. Finally, she saw this face again.
She should be Omnia. But Edie took everything from her. She lost everything. She lost all honor.
Love from her grandfather. Her fiancée. Her position. Her legs. Her reputation....
She lost all these. Because of Stuart’s order, she couldn’t go back home. Her parents didn’t even dare to help her.
She became a menial ordinary girl, struggling to make a living. No one helped her when they knew she was Greg’s daughter. She wasn’t even able to stay in A.
Everyone was teasing at her...
She wanted to commit to suicide. But she didn’t.
Edie Lara already died. Now no one could get in her way. Why did she want to die?
