Chapter 298
There was a warning on the paper beside the route: Don’t talk. Follow the route on the paper. No tricks. Someone is watching you in the dark.]
At the same time, the man handed over a photo of a masked man holding her grandfather hostage. The photo looked like it was taken before the fire.
These people are well–prepared. They are concerned that I might not comply with their instructions, so they used this photo as a warning: Isabella thought, furious when she saw the photo.
She slammed the table of the stall and asked through gritted teeth, “What on earth do you want?”
The man was taken aback and waved his hand frantically. Sometime later, he realized that Isabella couldn’t understand sign language, so he typed on his mobile phone: 1 don’t know, I was paid to deliver you the note.]
The stall owner looked at Tabella carnestly.
A few customers nearby clarified for the owner, “Miss, there may be a misunderstanding. Mark has worked here for years and is known for his honesty and diligence. He shouldn’t be the person you’re looking for.”
Isabella also realized she had accused the wrong person, so she bowed her head and apologized, “Sorry, I let my anger
inger take over for a bit.”
After apologizing, Isabella turned around and glanced at Anthony, who was hiding in the shadows. Then, she followed the directions on the paper.
Next, Isabella encountered a few more individuals who were paid to guide her, and they handed her a photo that compelled her to proceed.
In this manner, Isabella walked on. The path grew increasingly narrow. Most veered into an alley, then onto the main road, and finally into another alley.
The other party seemed to be aware that someone was following Isabella and was attempting to shake them off. Some of Anthony’s men, who had been ambushing in the dark, became lost
Anthony could only park the motorcycle to one side and then follow closely behind Isabella.
As Isabella made a turn again at the corner, a group of people suddenly rushed out and blocked Anthony’s path. When he emerged from the crowd. there was already no sign of Isabella.
Anthony’s heart sank, and his face clouded. He searched around but didn’t see Isabella. Anthony doubted the surveillance cameras nearby were working
Anthony stood still, emanating a menacing aura. The people around him quickly dispersed in fear. He took out his phone and instructed Hunk to block all the intersections nearby.
Meanwhile, someone suddenly covered Isabella’s mouth after she turned at the intersection, and she soon lost consciousness. She awoke to find her head and eyes covered. She couldn’t see her surroundings, but the sound and small movements told her she was in a car
There were two people talking in the car.
“It’s not easy to kidnap this woman,” one of them said.
e took her away right under Anthony’s eyes. We can brag about this for a few days,” another said.
“As long as we have this woman, Anthony will need to listen to us, the first man said.
Hearing this, Isabella suddenly became vigilant and mused, ‘It appears these people intend to use me as leverage to threaten Anthony. This su they have a conflict of interest with him. They might be involved in the Davis residence fire, too,
suggests
habella remained still after waking up, hoping to overhear more of their conversation. However, every time they approached a crucial point, the two of them brushed it off. Isabella didn’t hear what she had hoped for,
After a long time, the car finally stopped.
Someone came over and took off the cover from Isabella’s head rudely. Isabella squinted at the sudden bright light around her. It took a moment for her eyes to adjust. Finally, she could see her surroundings clearly,
She found herself in an abandoned warehouse. In front of her sat a masked man on a stool, holding the photos she had collected. Several other masked men stood nearby, whom Isabella assumed to be his subordinates.
“Who are you?” labella struggled to sit on the ground with her hands and feet tied.

Chapter 208
Isabella was a bit frightened by the scene when she woke up. After all, Theodore was still waiting for her to return. She wondered if Anthony knew that she was kidnapped here.
The man sitting in the chair laughed coldly when he heard abella’s words. “Don’t you already know it?”
“So, you’re the ones who started the fire at the Davis residence Isabella exclaimed, her chest heaving and her eyes turning red. If she hadn’t been tied up, she would have charged at them.
“Too bad you didn’t die in the fire and were even brought back by that man,” the masked man remarked, shaking his head. “But it’s good to have you here, otherwise, I wouldn’t have anyone to keep that madman in check.
Isabella trembled with anger when she heard the masked man speak so callously about taking lives. Gritting her teeth, she managed to utter, “You’ll get what’s coming to you
“Hahaha!” The man laughed wildly upon hearing this. “Now that you’re in my hands, it’s uncertain who will suffer.
The man savaged Isabella’s anger and took out his phone to take photos. “Yes, that’s right. It is the only way to get his mind distracted”
Isabella knew he intended to use her to threaten Anthony, and she refused to comply. “I’m in an abandoned warehouse i yelled as the phone camera hovered over her.
surrounded by water?” she
After speaking, Isabella was slapped in the face. The impact was so strong that half her face went numb, and she tasted blood in her mouth. She assumed the inside of her mouth was injured
“Bitch, you think you can send the message?” The masked man kicked Isabella in t
the stomach.
“Ah!” Isabella screamed, the pain bringing tears to her eyes. But when she raised her head, her gaze was still as firm and menacing as before
The masked man deleted the previous video and started recording Isabella again. And then he sent it directly to Anthony’s phone.
At that moment, Anthony was leading his team, checking each location where Isabella might have disappeared. The longer he went without news of Isabella, the more frantic he became. The feeling that he was about to lose Isabella put him in a manic state.
At that moment, the phone received a message. It was from an unfamiliar number.
In the video, Isabella clutched her belly, her cheeks red and swollen. She looked sad and indignant, clearly showing signs of being beaten.
Anthony was filled with rage. He couldn’t believe that a woman n he cherished so deeply had been beaten like this in just a few momenis.
He clenched his hands into fists and called the number. The call was hung up.
Anthony called again, but it was hung up again. After repeating this several times, the call finally went through.
Anthony shouted into the phone, worried, “What do you want? If anything happens to her, I’ll find you even if I have to dig through the earth!”
