Maxwell also noticed Christopher and Theodore. He quickly inquired, "Where's Everleigh? Why don't I see her?"
The two men did not answer, although the trepidation in their eyes was clear for all to see.
Finally, Christopher spoke up, "Dr. Harrison, Everleigh has something to take care of, which is why she isn't here to see you."
Maxwell was older and wiser, and although his eyes were not what they once were, he could see that there was something on their minds.
Everleigh had always treated him with respect. Now that he'd returned from abroad, she had no reason not to come and greet him.
"I see. Well, go back to your job." Maxwell walked in as if nothing had happened.
Christopher and Theodore didn't think too much of it. All they had in mind was the safety of the two women. When Maxwell went inside, he asked the nurse where Everleigh was.
The nurse told him that she didn't come to work at all.
Maxwell realized that something had happened.
By this time, Alexander had sent someone to find them. He had no idea where Everleigh had gone. Even if he had to turn Ocpeace City upside down, he had to find her.
At this time, as Everleigh watched the kidnappers eat and drink, she stealthily used her own tiny surgical blade and repeatedly sliced at the rope.
Since the last time she and Hansen had been kidnapped, she had been worried that history would repeat itself again, so she had purposely hidden a pocket knife inside her shoe.
This time, it came in handy.
Erine was sitting next to her. She was puzzled to see Everleigh staring at the kidnappers. She whispered and asked, "What are you looking at?"
"Later, don't you move," Everleigh whispered softly so only the two of them could hear her words.
Erine did not move but sat quietly. Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
Everleigh could not see the back. She could only cut the rope by feeling, and there were already a few cuts on her hands, but she couldn't care too much.
She finally cut through the rope and secretly cut the rope for Erine. She didn't dare to make too much of a move.
Erine immediately understood and took the blade from Everleigh's hand. It would be quicker if she did it herself.
However, at this time, one of the kidnappers became drunk and his lust was aroused by Everleigh and Erine.
He turned his head and looked at those people. "Hey, what do you think will happen if we do something to her?"
When the others heard it, they were stunned, but it quickly became clear to them. "Forget it. If Mr. Godfrey knew about this, you'll be in trouble."
"If we've done it, will the others know? Besides, would they have the guts to say so?"
Everleigh and Erine were terrified, fearing that that would happen.
However, the person who had just suggested it had already stood up and was leering at the two of them. When he was about to rip their clothes off, Everleigh didn't even think about it when she felt the brick beside her and directly smashed it into his head, and blood poured out immediately.
Several other people were shocked by the scene, but they were more surprised that she had cut through the rope without them knowing.
"Run!" Everleigh shouted. She picked up the brick and brandished it in all directions, whether it hit the target or not. Erine followed her, picking up a brick and swinging it around.
The kidnappers dodged but did not let them go, as such a move for them was like a kid's play.
They were just waiting for a moment to rush forward and put a stop to it.
However, the man who had just been beaten stood up, his face covered in blood. He cursed angrily, "You b*tch." Then, he hit Everleigh with a brick. She didn't turn around, but took the blow hard. Blood ran down her cheek, her eyes went black, and she toppled straight to the ground.
"Everleigh!" Erine screamed, seeing her friend lying on the ground.
The man who had hit Everleigh did not seem to have vented his anger. He also punched and kicked Erine.
"You b*tch, it is your blessing if I fancy you! How dare you do this to me."
Erine wouldn't let go of Everleigh no matter how much her body was hurting. She was afraid that Everleigh would die like this.
If something happened to her, how devastated would Alastair and Adrienne be?
Erine was in so much pain that she almost blacked out a few times. However, she struggled to hold on and did not make any sound.
The other kidnappers hurriedly pulled the man back. "That's enough. If you keep hitting them, they'll both die. You'll be killed by Mr. Godfrey." The man listened to their words and stopped.
Still bristling with fury, he shouted to them, "Hurry up and get me some medicine. My head hurts."
Although a few other people didn't take his attitude well, they didn't say anything but all retired together. This man was good at everything, but alcohol brought out the lascivious side of him.
On that day, it could only be said that this woman was brave enough to hit him without hesitation.
"Boss, look. Why is this woman not breathing?" One of the men tried to tie up the two women, but found that Everleigh had lost a lot of blood and her breathing was becoming weaker and weaker.
"What?" A few people quickly gathered around him.
The man also realized that something was wrong, and looking flustered, asked after him, "What now?"
Their leader thought for a moment. "Call Mr. Godfrey and tell him to come here now. One of you should go get some medicine and bandage her up first."
Brine was also bruised and battered, and her whole body was sore. She stared at Everleigh, whose eyes were shut, and tears flowed out of her eyes.
"Everleigh..." She let out a weak cry, but it was too soft to be heard.
Wilson came over as soon as he got the call. Seeing the two of them in such a state, he couldn't believe it either. "Who did it?"
"They started it. They untied the rope, and we were worried they would run away, so we hit them a little harder." The one who had been dealt the blow was the first to speak.
Even though he had started it, the women had untied the rope before they hit him.
Hearing his words, Wilson became angrier. He went up and kicked him in the belly. "You think I don't know your nature. There are so many bottles of liquor here. Do you think I don't know anything?"
"I..." The man who was beaten did not dare to say anything more. After all, he had inflicted an injury on someone.
"Mr. Godfrey, this is not the time to talk about this. We have bandaged this woman, but now that she is unconscious, do we need to..."
Wilson glanced down, his eyes murky. After a long time, he spoke, "Keep an eye on them, don't let them die. And don't touch them again." After saying this sentence, he headed out.
He had to hurry. Once Everleigh was dead, nothing could be fixed.
Wilson came to Godfrey Group and went straight to Xavier's office, and told him directly that he wanted Godfrey Group's shares. Or rather, he wanted Theodore's shares.
"Mr. Godfrey, who gave you the courage to talk to me like that? Why should I give you Theodore's shares?" Xavier really wanted to laugh.
Wilson ignored his sarcasm and said, "If you don't believe me, you can call Theodore and see for yourself if he's willing."
