Chapter 295 How Did You Find Us?
Hearing Kate’s demand, George was momentarily stunned, his heart sinking. However, he kept a neutral expression and looked at Kate with some confusion. “Madam, why are we going to Bastilla?”
Kate clutched George’s arm, her tone urgent. “Are you still trying to hide that Ric is in Bastilla? Quickly, tell him I’m safe now.”
Kate was frantic. Her phone had been thrown away, and she had no way to contact Eric. Her mind was consumed with worry for him.
George hesitated but quickly notified Eric that Kate had been rescued. However, he didn’t mention Kate’s request to go to Bastilla.
He didn’t want to take Kate to Bastilla for a simple reason: Kate was Eric’s weakness.
If she went to Bastilla, the risks would multiply.
Any lapse in protecting Kate could lead to her capture, which would effectively put Eric in the enemy’s hands.
“Kate!”
Hendrick and Linus rushed over. Seeing that Kate was unharmed, they breathed a sigh of relief, anxiously looking her over.
Linus was full of guilt. “It’s my fault for not protecting you, Kate.”
Hendrick gave
Linus a glance, his expression cold but silent.
It was a bitter pill to swallow that Kate had been kidnapped from their own mall.
Their security measures had failed so miserably that someone could enter their control room and cut the power. This was a huge embarrassment.
As a result, the entire mall’s security team had been fired, and an investigation into every employee’s background had begun to ensure only trustworthy people remained.
“It’s okay, Linus,” Kate reassured him, though her mind was still preoccupied with Eric.
She looked pleadingly at George. “George, what did Ric say?”
George’s gaze was serious. “Madam, we need to return to Summer Estate first. It’s not safe out here.”
The two thugs and Scott had been captured by the bodyguards and were to be taken back for questioning.

After returning to Summer Estate, Scott gradually regained consciousness.
As he opened his eyes, a sharp pain throbbed in his head. He vaguely remembered someone attacking him from behind, a kick to his head, and then everything went black. He hadn’t even seen who had assaulted him.
Scott was filled with anger and a hint of fear. Quickly scanning his surroundings, he realised he was tied to a pillar in an empty room. There was no one else around.
“Who dares to tie me up?” Scott shouted, his voice a mix of bluster and fear.
He struggled against the ropes, but they were tightly bound, cutting into his flesh.
His expression twisted with pain and frustration. When George walked in, his face was emotionless. Scott’s shock intensified.
“George?!”
Scott recognised George, Eric’s butler. Seeing him, Scott’s face darkened considerably.
“Scott, who ordered you to target our madam?”
George’s expression remained impassive, but his eyes flashed with deadly intent.
Scott’s persistence was infuriating, and he’d successfully kidnapped Kate.
Scott’s eyes darted nervously. He couldn’t believe what he was seeing. “How did you find us?” he demanded.
He was confused.
They had thoroughly searched Kate for any trackers and discarded her phone. How had George and his men found them so quickly after the abduction?
They had meticulously planned everything, with Scott personally bringing Kate to the hideout.
Only two thugs were left to guard the place, while the rest kept an eye on George and his team.
Yet, without any warning, George had swooped in and captured them all.
