Mr George, Don't Be So Arrogant

Chapter 85 Why Is a Person as Smart as Him Stupid

“Sorry then, Mr. George. Your woman is not convenient to talk to you right now. However, I can be a

good guy, I can show you how your woman looks like now.”

The man in black aimed at Riley’s wretched appearance and took a photo.

The same photo appeared in Euan’s text message list. Euan’s upright body slightly trembled. His hand

gained support from the back of the chair and he managed to stand still again.

“I give you an hour to prepare the money, Mr. George…You better don’t play tricks. Since we dare to

harm your woman, we are ready to kill her who is held for ransom. If you dare to fight, then we play a

game to see who is more willing to sacrifice something.”

Finished speaking, the phone was hung up.

After Euan put down the phone, his cold voice sounded in the silent room, “Elijah, come with me.”

Ten minutes later, in the president’s office of MBK International Building.

“Boss, how is Mrs. George…”

He waved his hand to stop him, “Let the finance department cash out 500 million yuan and turn it to

government bonds in twenty minutes, and give it to me.”

“The kidnappers want money only?”

Euan nodded slowly, “Yeah. Prepare the money and drive the modified bulletproof car here.”

Elijah had a layer of perspiration on his forehead, “Yes!”

After ordering, Euan opened the built-in safe in the office. He opened the door and took out a pistol

from it.

Even if he was alone, he definitely would not give enemies the opportunity to control him.

Twenty minutes later, Elijah came in with a large box full of government bonds. It was 500 million yuan.

If it was CNY, it would fully fill the space of a room.

“Boss, if you go there alone…That gang of robbers will not let the hostage go easily.” Elijah took the

box and refused to let go of it.

To his self-interest, his first thought was actually that although Riley’s was worth 500 million yuan, who

could be more worthy than Mr. George’s life?

“Put the box down.”

Elijah gritted his teeth, “Boss, you’re the…president of MBK, you’re the young master of the George

family…” Whatever you did was going to shake the worlds of finance and real estate in JD City…

Euan silently glanced at him, “She can’t have an accident. I won’t have an accident too.”

Elijah gritted his teeth, “I’ll send some people to follow you, they won’t be discovered.”

“Cannot!”

Despite being one who was always not even afraid of death, now, he did not dare to take a risk on

Riley.

“At least let us know that you’re safe…if you go alone…”

“I’ll come back alive.”

His certainty and indifference made Elijah feel that his worry was simply insulting his boss’ IQ. So, he

shut up.

Euan dialled the phone, “The money is ready. I’ll go by myself. Tell me the address.”

“So fast! Good.”

After getting the address, Euan lifted the box and went downstairs.

Whereas, inside the old and rundown house of the suburb, the tape on Riley’s mouth was finally ripped

off.

“Bastards! What are you guys going to do to him?!”

“Do what? You’ll know it in a moment.”

Riley gritted her teeth, “Oh, trying to threaten him using me?”

That was right. She could see that they were trying to use her to threaten Euan so that he would come

alone and become a sitting duck.

Dream on!

“Beauty, you didn’t just find out, didn’t you? However, Euan is really fast at doing things. 500 million

yuan is prepared in less than twenty minutes. It seems that he really cares about you, haha!”

“Bullshit! We’ll be divorced soon, he cares about me? He’s trying to personally crush scumbags like

you guys in case you guys become an eyesore to him!”

“Slap!”

Before Riley finished cursing, the left side of her face was severely slapped. The blood spilled out of

the corner of her lips and it was as red as fire.

“Divorce, huh? But, this man who is about to become your ex-husband is coming. You guys will be

reunited very soon.”

What! Euan was really coming here!

He totally did not love her and did not care about her, why did he come!

Riley could die but Euan absolutely could not.

Countless thoughts quickly appeared in her mind. She sped up the replay of all her memories and she

found that she was surprisingly willing to die for him.

It was a very woeful thought but sadly, she could not deny it.

“You guys won’t have the chance, before he arrives here, I…” Before finishing her words, she bit hard

her own tongue!

If one really had to die, let her be the one!

“Damn woman!”

The man ruthlessly kicked in Riley’s abdomen. She was so painful that her entire body had spasms.

Her teeth loosened from biting the tongue and a bloody taste filled her mouth. She bit her tongue but

she failed to kill herself.

Damn it! Biting the tongue to kill oneself was surprisingly so difficult! Wasn’t the success rate very

fucking high! From a perspective of medical science, this was possible!

The pain of the abdomen made Riley who was on the pillar felt an extreme agony. Her hands could not

move and she could only close her eyes to ease the pain.

…

Euan drove to the first location but he found that there was nobody around.

The reason they let him go there first was to see if anyone was following him. This was a common trick.

The phone rang for the second time.

“Mr. George, you’ve cooperated well. Now, head to the west for ten kilometres and you’ll see.”

“I want to make sure she is safe. This time, I don’t want to see photos!”

The last trace of expectation in his mind was sparkling. Euan hoped that it was a scam. He did not care

how much money he lost, he just wanted her to be entirely fine!

“Okay.”

As the man said, he recorded a video of Riley. The face and body of the woman who was tied to the

pillar were with blood everywhere. She stared at the camera with widened eyes and was shaking her

head violently.

His last expectation broke.

He clearly felt what was heartbreak and understood what was heartache even more. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

All heartbreak and heartache came from a word, love.

He was drawn into it. Although he hated the helpless feeling of being swayed by emotions, he was

really drawn into it.

‘Stupid woman, wait for me, I would save you.’

Euan gripped the steering wheel and fully stepped on the accelerator based on the kidnappers’

guidelines. Although it was ten kilometres, he arrived in the blink of an eye.

The lonesome suburb was deserted. The factory in the distance had been abandoned years ago. What

he saw was an abandoned two-storey building that was nearby.

This should be the place…

Riley was inside.

Inside the house.

A few men suddenly appeared from different parts of the room. They put gasoline tanks around Riley

which formed a circle with Riley in the centre.

After that, the kidnapper held up a gun and nodded to the men who just appeared. They understood

that they were told to hide in different locations in the room.

Then, the kidnapper grabbed Riley by the chin, “Hey you, you know how to behave later, right? If you

say something wrong, our sniper may accidentally… shoot Euan in the head. Got it?”

Riley gritted her teeth and tears welled up in her eyes. Tears and sweat were mixing on her pale face

and they dripped onto the side of her lips. They mixed with the blood on her lips and dripped onto her

white shirt. Her white shirt was dyed red.

Why would you come? You ignored me for 3 years and humiliated me for another three. You could

have your peace and not need to feel conflicted about it anymore. So why did you choose to come?

She cried a river thinking about it. Her shoulder violently trembled as she cried silently.

Euan parked his car in front of the shabby house and stood right in the middle of the door without any

fear. He was in a luxurious black suit and at this moment, he looked like Grim Reaper. He glanced

across the empty hall on the first floor with a keen and cold gaze, one hand in the pocket and no

emotions on his face.

He didn’t look like he was here to rescue someone but was just here to observe.

Nobody could win against his presence.

“Mr. George, you are a real man. Come on in.”

The kidnapper in the black shirt was holding his gun. He smirked as he saw the suitcase Euan’s was

holding.

“I got the money, where’s Riley?”

Euan said with a frigid tone of voice.

“Don’t worry, we won’t let you go home empty-handed. You came all the way here after all.”

The kidnapper walked in front and Euan followed him. He observed the house frantically and was

looking for hidden traps with his sharp eyes and keen senses.

It felt calm, but he was sure that they had something planned for him.

He could feel a murderous intention in the air. It was familiar and substantial, reminding him of a feeling

he felt before in the past.

Euan acted like he didn’t notice anything and suddenly, the kidnapper halted in his tracks.

“Mr. George, bullets don’t have eyes. Please be careful.”

Euan snorted coldly, “Bring me to her!”

The man walked upstairs. It was a shabby house and the stairs were not in good condition. The dust

was sticking to Euan’s pants as he walked. His Armani slacks were soon covered in dust, turning white.

As they turned around the corner, Euan saw a woman being tied to a pillar…

He felt his heart throbbed and his eyes were turning warm. It was hard to breathe as if someone were

choking him. His tears might fall if he wasn’t being careful.

But he was Euan George.

Euan let go of the suitcase and it fell onto the ground. The gust of dust swirled around him and dirtied

Euan’s suit jacket. He grimaced.

Riley closed her eyes in despair seeing Euan standing right in front of her. Her tears fell and she said

sarcastically, “Yo, ain’t it Mr. George? What are you doing here? Joining the fun or trying to rescue me?

Haha, but I’m nothing to you. Get the fuck out! I don’t want to see you here!”

The sniper hiding in the dark aimed his gun at Euan.

The man in black laughed, “Your man is here to save you and you give him such a reaction.”

“He’s not my man! He sleeps around and never thinks of himself as my man,” she said as she smiled.

She then looked up slowly and said, “Mr. George, have you finally decided to sign the divorce paper?

Are you going to sign it today?”

Riley signalled Euan about the location of the sniper with her eyeballs as she talked. Euan was a smart

man, he had to understand what she was trying to tell him.

Euan was here. No matter what his intention was, she wouldn’t let him die.

With one hand in his pocket, Euan looked at Riley. His eyes were filled with disdain and he didn’t even

bother to take a second look at her, “You think I’m here to rescue you? You’re so naïve, Riley. I’m just

here to end you myself. Do you really think I’m here to rescue you after all you’ve done? Sleeping

around with other men during the past three years and giving me a bad name?”

He then looked at the man in black and said, “Thank you for leaving her alive for me. Here’s the money

and her life is mine to take now.”

“Hahaha! Euan, do you really think that we are stupid?”

The sniper aimed at Euan’s head, “Both of you will die today!”

Euan didn’t move, “I’m already on your turf and there’s no way that I can escape. But before I die, I

want to kill her with my own hands. One of the most shameful thing that can happen to a man is being

betrayed by your own woman. I, Euan George, will never forgive that.”

As he spoke, he looked at the kidnapper, “Lend me a bullet and I’ll give you the MBK International

Corporation.”

The man was shocked! What the heck was happening?

His young master wanted him to kill both of them. What should he do in this situation?!

The man dialled Kaysorn’s number, “Young master…”

After explaining the situation and talking to his young master, the man finally stood his ground, “Stop

yapping! Stand over there!”

Euan laughed, “Your young master is making you his scapegoat as he watches everything while hiding.

You’ll be responsible for anything that happens. Why are you doing this for him?”

“Shut up!”

The man was quite the good-for-nothing, otherwise, he would’ve already shot Euan and Riley long ago.

Euan took some paper out of his pocket, “I didn’t plan to leave here alive the moment I decided to

come here. Here are two documents, one is my medical report and the other is the MBK International

Corporation share transfer document. If I sign this, you’re effectively MBK’s president. I don’t have

much time left. I want to kill the woman who betrayed me before I die.”

He walked up and pressed the gun that the man was holding against himself, and put the documents

on the dusty table.

“Take a look.”

The man couldn’t believe his ears, he was shaken. MBK! The temptation was too intense! He was

willing to make the deal even if it could be a fake deal. Also, Euan’s conditions were easy to fulfil.

Riley’s eyes were wide open. Medical report? What the hell? Was it fake or real?

“Euan, you…”

“Shut up!” said Euan in a disgusted tone of voice.

She didn’t understand what was happening! Euan was too calm! He was way too calm! As if he was

really ready to die!

The man looked at the documents, “Cancer…” He frowned, “This is really MBK’s share transfer

document…”

It had an embossing seal and an official stamp on it.

Euan didn’t think that the kidnapper would do something like this. He had a gun with him, but he

couldn’t use it otherwise the gasoline tanks would explode!

Suddenly, Euan sneered and said, “Wait, I changed my mind…”
