Chapter 116
If the knife moves forward another half an inch, it will pierce through Vivian Sinclair’s clothes and directly reach her skin.
No matter how fearless she is, Vivian Sinclair feels a wave of despair at this moment, and can’t help but curse in her heart: what the hell, this is just downright unlucky!
There’s no way out anywhere.
But these people definitely aren’t from The Thorne Family.
Even if Julian Thorne wanted to deal with the child in my belly, he wouldn’t use such brutal means to force me.
Moreover, they said they’ve been watching me for days.
Who could be more desperate than Julian Thorne to capture me?
“Who are you guys p>
Vivian Sinclair couldn’t help but want to get to the bottom of it.
However, the other party just pushed her coldly: “You’ll find out soon enough. Move p>
Vivian Sinclair was taken into a black sedan and then had her head covered and hands bound.
She was plunged into darkness, completely helpless and alone.
Great, escaped one danger just to fall into another.
Don’t know how long passed before the car slowly came to a stop.
Vivian Sinclair was dragged out and stumbled into a place where even the road was difficult to walk on.
She felt like the ground was covered in rubble, making it very hard to traverse.
The surroundings seemed very empty, they must have left the city.
She heard noises nearby that sounded like large trucks, and occasionally rumbling that might be light rail or a high-speed train.
“Move p>
Vivian Sinclair was pushed up a staircase, and because she couldn’t see in the darkness and due to the rough push, she fell.
Luckily she reacted quickly, turning sideways fast enough to avoid hitting her belly.
But still, she felt a deep sense of fear and lingering anxiety.
Vivian Sinclair was very angry, turning her head back.
“No matter who you are, if anything happens to my child, I, Vivian Sinclair, will make sure you all live a life worse than death p>
Her words only elicited a disdainful snicker, obviously, these people didn’t take her seriously at all.
“Ha, how many lives do you have to gamble with me p>
“Though I’m in your hands, life or death is yet to be decided p>
After saying this, she stood up, and the laughter behind her gradually subsided, seemingly finally a bit intimidated.
Vivian Sinclair was led up three more floors.
Finally, the hood over her head was pulled off.
“Vivian p>
Upon seeing her, a low gasp followed.
Vivian Sinclair then saw that it was actually… Old Madam Grant!
She was half lying on the ground, her back against a broken wall, looking as if she was already on the verge of death, left with just one breath.
The skin and bones of her body were like a mummy, looking extremely frightening.
Seeing her, Old Madam Grant’s eyes trembled with anger: “What are you bringing her here for p>
“You rogues only need to target me, why involve the innocent p>
“Vivian, I’m sorry, it was me who implicated you p>
Tears flowed down Old Madam Grant’s face, but Vivian Sinclair walked beside her and sat down beside her.
“Stop crying p>
“Save your strength p>
Although Vivian Sinclair didn’t quite understand how she got involved, seeing Old Madam Grant here gave her a strong sense of who the culprits were.
She had Patrick Powell investigate Lillian Rivers’ whereabouts after she left the hospital.
Lillian Rivers indeed took Gia Grant to Phoenixia.
Therefore, these people are very likely Dylan Drexler’s people, and he kidnapped Old Madam Grant.
Vivian Sinclair just didn’t understand why they would involve her?
“Old lady, you should learn from your granddaughter-in-law p>
“Look at her, how obedient. How savvy p>
“She knows crying and resistance are useless, so she cooperated with us, spared herself some pain p>
One of them sneered as he tried to reach for Vivian Sinclair’s face.
Vivian Sinclair spit firmly.
Her face was full of warning and fierceness: “Dare to touch me, if I get the chance I’ll chop off your hands p>
Angered and ashamed, the other raised his hand and slapped her.
“You bitch p>
“Really think you’re some high society princess or lady p>
“Once in our hands, no one comes out whole p>
“I warn you, best not provoke me, or even as a pregnant woman, I’ll rip that spawn from your stomach first p>
Vivian Sinclair did not speak again, only stared at them with eyes like poison.
Stared hard enough that two of them actually felt some fear.
“Nevermind, forget it p>
“The boss said to just capture her, don’t touch her p>
“If something really happens to her, and that person finds out, we’d be in deep trouble, wouldn’t be good for us p>
Saying this, they went aside.
Vivian Sinclair was even more convinced that Dylan Drexler was the mastermind.
Because he remembered last time Julian Thorne took me from Phoenixia, he was still somewhat cautious.
Old Madam Grant wanted to say something, but Vivian Sinclair just shook her head at her.
“Don’t move much, save your strength p>
Vivian Sinclair was indeed very tired.
She had just endured the long journey home, hadn’t even rested before being brought to this godforsaken place, how could she not be exhausted?
Her whole body felt sore and weak.
But thankfully her belly didn’t feel unwell, otherwise, she wouldn’t be able to calmly accept the situation.
Vivian Sinclair looked around and realized this was an abandoned building.
So it’s open and very cold.
The guards even brought electricity, so they have electric heaters, but Vivian Sinclair and Old Madam Grant weren’t as lucky.
Vivian Sinclair even felt that Old Madam Grant was getting weaker and weaker.
She gently nudged Old Madam Grant with her elbow, calling out a few times: “Madam? Madam p>
No response, and her face was pale.
Vivian Sinclair immediately shouted, “Hey! Old Madam has lost consciousness, you guys need to get her a doctor now p>
“Can you hear what I’m saying p>
“You kidnapped the old madam, surely there’s a purpose, right p>
“If you really torment her to death, how will you account to your boss p>
“And you won’t get what you want either p>
Only then did the other party sluggishly get up.
“Mind your own business p>
“I advise you to take care of yourself first p>
“Ha, we brought you here, not to let you enjoy yourself p>
After saying that, the other party took out a syringe and directly injected it into Old Madam Grant’s leg.
Old Madam Grant gasped sharply, then opened her eyes and woke up.
Vivian Sinclair stood dumbfounded, watching the scene.
They actually injected her with medication?
What kind of medication was that?
If guessed correctly… wouldn’t it be some kind of adrenaline?
This guess made Vivian instantly furious, “Aren’t you trying to kill her p>
The other party glared menacingly at Vivian, “Who told this old bag to keep trying to stall p>
“If it weren’t for this stuff, she’d already be dead p>
“We’re not trying to kill her, we’re saving her p>
When Old Madam Grant woke up this time, she looked surprisingly more spirited than when Vivian first arrived.
Her face even had some color.
Vivian knew something was wrong; Old Madam Grant was having a burst of final strength before death, likely she wouldn’t walk out of here alive!
She felt a surge of sadness as the person who injected the drug grabbed Old Madam Grant’s collar and began to warn her: “Let me tell you, old thing p>
“If you don’t start talking, I’ll kick that baby right out of your granddaughter-in-law’s belly in front of you p>
“I heard you care about her the most p>
“Can you really bear to watch her suffer like that p>
Old Madam Grant rammed her head forward, “You mustn’t touch her p>
The other party was knocked off balance, falling to the ground, nose bleeding from both nostrils.
“You p>
The other party flew into a rage, getting up to kick Old Madam Grant.
Vivian immediately let out a low shout, “I’ll persuade her p>
“No matter what you want, I will persuade her p>
“But first, you can’t touch her again p>
“You should understand, she can’t take another round of torment, can she p>
“If she dies, how will you report back p>
Only then did the other party hold back, not actually throwing the kick.
“Hmph, old bag, you’d better confess quickly p>
“Or else you’ll face the consequences p>
Saying that, the other party left again.
Vivian quickly turned to Old Madam Grant and asked, “Can you tell me what exactly they want to ask you p>
Old Madam Grant, though regaining some strength, was after all an elderly woman; after that head bump, she seemed a bit weary again.
She shook her head, “I can’t tell you, or I’d truly be harming you p>
“Vivian, thank you for protecting your grandmother just now… have you forgiven me p>
“I once plotted against you, locked you at The Grant Family, and yet you still protect your grandmother… my heart p>
“Truly p>
Vivian interrupted her apology, “I just can’t stand by and watch an elderly person burdened with illness die right in front of me p>
“Don’t think too much about it p>
“The past, we’ll talk about after we get out alive p>
“Right now, it’s about figuring out how to escape p>
Knowing Old Madam Grant wouldn’t relent immediately, she didn’t force her.
She wanted to conserve her strength, and protect herself as much as possible.
So she called out again to the side.
“Hey! Can you get us something to eat p>
“And we’re cold too, we need something to warm up p>
“If you can satisfy these, I promise to get you the result you want before tomorrow p>
The other party clearly did not believe Vivian.
But still threw some supplies over.
There was water, bread, and a portable heater.
Vivian’s hands were temporarily freed, and she was starving, so she didn’t hesitate to grab the things on the ground and start eating.
Seeing her face this situation with such composure, Old Madam Grant felt both heartache and guilt, but also some admiration.
Indeed, she was the daughter-in-law I chose p>
What a pity that Austin never saw her good qualities!
After eating, Vivian didn’t forget about the old madam.
She brought a piece of bread to the old madam’s mouth, “Here, have a bit, at least you’ll save some strength and replenish your energy p>
Old Madam Grant opened her mouth with reddened eyes.
Seeing the change, the black-clad guards were astonished.
“This old bag actually listens to her p>
“Yeah, she’s been trying to starve herself to death all this time p>
“This is the first time she opened her mouth for food, isn’t it p>
“Turns out, it takes someone she cares about to make her speak p>
Excited, they immediately reported back on the situation.
“Boss, maybe this Miss Sinclair can really pry open this old bag’s mouth p>
Dylan Drexler, upon receiving the text, smiled with satisfaction.
“Very good p>
He put away his phone and turned to Lillian Rivers, approaching her with a smile, “Lily, congratulations, your wish is about to come true p>
