Chapter 142
When Christina opened her eyes again, she found herself in a place where she couldn’t see anything in front of her.
The musty and damp smell filled the air.
Christina’s hands and feet were tied behind her back, her mouth was gagged, and she could not move.
Megan must have asked someone to do that because Christina knew the secret recordings in the robot dog.
Christina didn’t expect Megan and Florence to be real sisters, while Stephanie was the true daughter of the Jimenez family who was swapped.
That could explain why the Hayes family disliked Stephanie so much.
Stephanie was really pitiful and unfortunate, being swapped at birth and then oppressed by the Hayes family for so many years.

Christina deeply regretted moment. Why didn’t she listen to the recording earlier?
Christina wondered, ‘If I had heard it earlier, Stephanie’s true identity would have been exposed, she would have had a family that loved her, and the Jimenez family would have been reunited.
Currently, Christina was tied up in a place like that.
Megan would definitely not spare Christina’s life.
Thinking about how she was pushed down the stairs by Olivia at such a young age, then poisoned into a even after waking up, tears welled up in Christina’s eyes.
a three–year coma, and then faced an early death
Christina had so many unfulfilled wishes.
For example, going to university, traveling the world, trying out different jobs, taking care of her parents, and marrying Malcolm.
Even though the last one was impossible to achieve, at least, there was still a chance to have a meal with the man of Christina’s dreams.
Christina thought, ‘Boohoo! I’m really miserable!”
With a creak, the door was pushed open.
Christina was too frightened to move or make a sound.
Chandler was puzzled. “Hasn’t the drug worn off yet? If it wasn’t for you being able to lure out Stephanie, I would have killed you immediately! Once you wake up, I’ll hypnotize you!”
Christina was so frightened that her heart beat wildly. She pressed her lips tightly, for fear that the man would find out that she had woken up.
Stephanie and Vincent arrived at Jacaster’s private airport the following morning,
On the plane, they received news that Christina had been kidnapped with Megan.
Of course, there was also very unfortunate news that Shonda, the female classmate delivering things to Christina, was involved in a car accident. Shonda suffered multiple fractures all over her body, severe head trauma, and underwent intracranial debridement surgery, but there was a high probability she was in a vegetative state. Right then, Shonda was in the ICU.
Vincent and Stephanie checked the surveillance camera of the cafe as soon as they received the news

Chapter 142
The surveillance footage was deleted, but the method used wasn’t very sophisticated, so it was easily recovered.
The surveillance footage showed that Megan and Christina entered the cafe. Megan went to the restroom while Christina sat outside waiting.
After a while, Christina’s classmate came to deliver something for her.
Christina played with the robot dog curiously, and then her face suddenly changed as if she had heard something shocking.
The surveillance cameras were distant, so they didn’t capture clear audio.
Before long, a man dressed in black clothes and pants, wearing a baseball cap, sunglasses, and a mask, walked into the coffee shop and stood next to
Christina.
The man raised his hand and knocked Christina unconscious, then helped her out of the cafe and stuffed her into the backseat of the car
At the same time, Megan chased after them. When she was about to drag the man, he threw Megan into the trunk in the same way.
The entire process took less than a minute, which was astonishingly fast, indicating that the man was very professional.
The waiter didn’t even have time to react. By the time he did and called the police, the kidnapper had already left.
Stephanie and Vincent had always suspected that this kidnapping case was related to Megan. After all, how could it be so coincidental that they were kidnapped together?
However, judging from the kidnappers‘ lack of mercy toward Christina and Megan, it seemed that Megan was also a victim.
Without concrete evidence, it was impossible to determine someone’s guilt. Everything was just suspicion.
The kidnapper drove a decoy vehicle and was very familiar with the terrain of Jacaster, managing to avoid various surveillance cameras
That caused a lot of interference and difficulties for Stephanie and Vincent. Eventually, the car vanished on a stretch of provincial road.
Provincial roads were smaller and often lacked surveillance coverage, so even the state surveillance cameras would be ineffective.
As for Christina’s classmate, Shonda, she was hit by a private car after leaving the tutoring institution.
The driver of the private car wanted to run over Shonda again but was stopped by some people and dragged out of the car
The driver had a somewhat blank look in his eyes, and his responses to questions were a bit stiff
The police suspected that he was under the influence of drugs, so they conducted a urine test, which came back positive.
The driver said he was told to do it by a woman who gave him 20,000 dollars.
Later, the driver retracted his confession and said that that was the only sentence in his mind at that time. He didn’t know what was happening
The police believed he was being evasive and trying to shalt blame.
Stephanie and Vincent’s first reaction was that the man had been hypnotized.
They suspected that the kidnapper was likely the same person who killed Sabrina. As for why they kidnapped Christina, it might have been to lure Stephanie out.
The person on the other end of the line was very calm. He was probably waiting for the right time to contact Stephanie.

However, they couldn’t figure out whether or not Megan knew the kidnapper, the man who killed Sabrina.
It was quite perplexing. If they followed that line of thought, then the “precious” mentioned by that man was most likely Megan.
It was terrifying to think about. They wondered, “If that was the case, why would Megan want to kill Stephanie? Would she disregard her years of sisterhood with Madeline just to lure out Stephanie? There was no good reason to kill Stephanie!”

The reasoning was stuck there. Why did Megan frequently invite Christina out? How did she end up getting kidnapped so coincidentally? And why did Shonda hurriedly deliver the robot dog to Christina? Could there be a secret inside the robot dog?
Right then, the answer given by Shonda was particularly important.
However, Shonda was still in the ICU, and her condition was critical
After getting off the plane, they didn’t rush to the police station but went to the hospital immediately.

The second branch of the Fletcher family and Shonda’s parents were both there. When they saw Vincent and Stephanie, they were very excited because Vincent said he would ask Miracle Doctor Summer to re–operate on the injured patient
Frederick asked, “Vincent, where is Dr. Summer?”
Stephanie released Vincent’s wheelchair and said firmly, “I am Dr. Summer.”
Everyone was speechless.
The sentence happened to be heard by Melvin, who had come to check on the post–heart surgery patient. He was quite surprised because Stephanie was so young yet had such achievements.
Miracle Doctor Summer had never revealed their true identity. If it weren’t for the urgency of time, Stephanie might have had to disguise herself further.
Vincent explained that to the hospital’s director and the family of the victim in advance. The hospital was willing to cooperate, and their families were also willing to take the risk, so as soon as they arrived at the hospital, Stephanie could immediately perform surgery on the injured person again.
Stephanie turned around and saw Melvin. After a quick greeting, she followed the medical team sent by the hospital to the operating room.
At the same time, another group of medical staff transferred Shonda from the ICU to the operating room.
In the operating room, Stephanie wore surgical attire, including a specialized cap, mask, and gloves, while the medical team cooperated fully to perform surgery on Shonda.
Outside the operating room, the second branch of the Fletcher family and Shonda’s parents were waiting anxiously.
Vincent was smoking with Melvin in front of the window.
Melvin looked at Vincent. “I remember you don’t smoke.”
Vincent looked at Melvin. “Only one occasionally. Does the Jimenez family have any leads?”
Melvin shook his head. “For now, there are no leads. I suspect this person is the same as the mastermind behind the film set explosion. But we just couldn’t figure out why this person was targeting our Jimenez family so specifically.”
The haze veiled Vincent’s handsome face for a while before he asked, “Do you know Megan?”
Melvin had a faint feeling that Vincent was beating around the bush. “Vincent, just say what’s on your mind.”
Chapter 142
Vincent flicked off the cigarette butt with his fingertips and recounted the multiple times Megan had invited Christina.
Just before the incident, Vincent had advised Christina not to see Megan alone.

Melvin found it somewhat unbelievable, considering Megan was raised by the Jimenez family. It was difficult for anyone to accept the idea of suspecting
Megan.
What Vincent said did make sense. It was understandable if Megan was close to Stephanie, but getting close to Christina was indeed questionable.
“Megan had been well–behaved at home and hadn’t done anything repulsive. However, ever since she found out she was not the Jimenez family’s biological daughter, there had been some psychological changes in her, making her more sensitive and anxious. If you ask me to consider her as a kidnapper or a murderer, I find it hard to believe.”
Vincent smiled and said, “If Megan really had issues, would the Jimenez family protect her?”
