Chapter 735: Chapter 735: Why Is she Here?
At the moment, inside the study in the flat...
Stuart held the mobile phone tightly. His eyes were so cold.
Aaron, on the other side, also realized the seriousness. He paused the meeting immediately.
"Is it Edie? What happened to her?"
"I need to use the satellite positioning of the group. Please help me locate Edie’s position right now, as well as the car. Check the monitor for me. Keep me in touch."
Then, Stuart rushed out.
Aaron said behind him, "Stuart, it is so dangerous. You could not go alone. I would send some men there right now.
"I have no time. I will never forgive me if anything bad happens to her. I could wait here watching her dying. This is much scarier than death.." freewebnσvel.cøm
Then, Stuart rushed out of the door. He drove out of the flat immediately. After ten minutes, Aaron called him.
He told Stuart the location of the car. Now it has been tracked. He would check the driver, and he wanted Stuart to take care of himself.
"I know," Stuart gave him a simple answer. Then he hung up the phone.
When Edie opened her eyes, it was midnight. The window hadn’t been closed. As the close wind blew in, Edie felt so cold.
She looked around, seeing a girl standing in front of the window.
That girl turned her back to Edie. She looked so thin and small. She grabbed the edge of the window with her slim arms. She might be closing the windows.
She was so skinny that the clothes on her looked so fat, forming quite a strange contract.
After she closes the window, it gets warmer inside the room.
"Who are you? Where I am now..."
Edie struggled to get up. She felt so thirsty. It was so hard to ask the question.
The woman turned towards her slowly. Edie saw a face covered with scars.
It was that woman. The disfigured woman.
Why was she here?
Edie got sober immediately. She wore a cold frown. Everything that happened before came into her mind. She realized this woman always appeared in her sight suddenly.
After the photographing exhibition, Edie got a note in her pocket.
Was it she that kidnapped her?
But why did she kidnap her?
As Edie wondered, the woman walked to her slowly. It seemed that every step she walked was so hard for her.
And she kept coughing painfully.
Her face, with those brown scars, looked so frightening and scary.
Edie hesitated for a while. Then she stood up and held her to sit down.
Edie didn’t know why she thought this woman was not the one that kidnapped her here.
After coughing for a while, the woman finally stopped. She held Edie’s hands tightly and said, "I never expected that we would meet again like this."
"What do you know about all these?" Edie frowned and asked her.
"It is from Julia. It is her that kidnapped you here. Do you remember her?"
Julia...
Hearing this, Edie trembled a little bit. Of course, she remembered her. Though they haven’t met each other many times, they hated each other,
Julia has always loved Stuart deeply. This has already made Edie her enemy. Besides, it was Stuart, Edie’s husband, that cooperated with Norman to destroy her family. It would certainly make Julia hate Edie more.
Could she survive in this kidnap?
Would Julia take her as her hostage to threaten Stuart and hurt Laty?
This was what she worried about the most.
"Who are you? You gave me that note, right? Why did you remind me?"
"I...I don’t know who I am. I lost lots of my memories several years ago when my head was hit. From then on, I stayed with Julia all the time. You don’t need to know who I am—all you need to know is that I don’t want to hurt you. But...I have no means to save you. I would take good care of you these days. Don’t panic. There would be a way out here. I need to prepare dinner for you now."
She said in a humble voice and tumbled to leave, leaving Edie staying alone in the empty house.
Edie opened the door. She wanted to know where she was so that she could find a way out.
This was a Duplex single mansion with black and white simple design. She looked around. She suddenly had a familiar feeling.
The design. It was like the design of their own house. Their house was also designed with black, white, and gray.
To be exact, it was like their own house before, when she met Stuart. At that time, his flat was so serious.
After getting married to Edie, Stuart changed a lot to comply with Edie.
As Edie looked around, she heard a strange voice.
"Why do you know I am not Stuart?"
Hearing the question, Edie turned around. It was a tall man in an article of black bulletproof clothing. He held a long gun designed for soldiers. He looked like the guard here.
"The car. The unique smell insides the car. It smelt like a new car."
"So, you’ve started suspecting me when you got off the car?"
"Actually, I’ve started suspecting you at the very beginning. Stuart would call me or send a text to me when he came to pick me up. He would not come without telling me in advance. I was confused. But I was not sure you are not my husband until you put all my staff inside the trunk."
"What? Why?" the man asked out of curiosity. He walked to Edie, with a weird smile at the corner of his mouth.
"Because my husband would place those staff so carefully, more carefully than me. Those are the equipment I used to make a living. He never put them in the trunk. He would put them on the rear seat. So I immediately ensured that you are not my husband. But I didn’t dare to say it out."
"So, you decided to ask for help inside the studio?"
"Exactly. You’ve shown lots of gaps. When you masqueraded as Avan’s secretary to pick up Laty, you succeeded because Laty was not familiar with Avan’s secretary. But when you masqueraded as I am so familiar with, it is impossible for you to succeed. I would find it immediately. Your clothes are wrong. Your steps are wrong. Even your tones are wrong. You don’t dare to hold my hands. You just grab my wrist. Because you are so afraid and nervous. You are not confident in masquerading as the man I am familiar with, right?"
Edie hit the mark directly, forcing the man to hide his smile.
He applauded her immediately, "I’ve really underestimated you. You are so talented in analyzing. What if I disguise myself as someone you are not familiar with. Would you see through me?" free𝑤ebnovel.com
"Yes. I drove my car to the spot. I wouldn’t leave with other men."
"So, I lost the game completely."
The man touched his nose and raised a smile again, "What about one bet with me? I would pose as another man in your life. Would you mind who I am going to pose? If you are right, I would owe you a request."
"Sorry, except Julia and that disfigured woman, I don’t know anyone else. Besides, I don’t even know who you are. It is impossible for me to guess. Therefore, I refuse. I don’t want to take up the bed. I don’t need to request you to do anything. It is useless for me now."
