Chapter 69 I’m Afraid You’ll Be Disappointed

Once she defeated the three men, she stepped on one of their faces and turned around to address Max and Alec. “I told you I didn’t need your help.” Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

They were too shocked to speak, and “savage” was the first word to appear in their minds.

Yes, savage.

They had never seen a woman this skilled in martial arts.

Jenny shifted her attention to her abductors. “Call your client.”

In an odd display of loyalty, the man stayed silent and still. She smirked at his defiance and flashed a knife in her hands. Without hesitation, she slashed his arm.

“Ouch!” The man yelped. She bent over and hissed like a demon, “Make. The. Call. Or you can guess where I am making the next cut.”

“I will! I’ll make the call.” Gus nodded furiously, panting heavily in pain. She nodded in satisfaction. Knowing that they were amateurs, it was no surprise that they’d rat out their clients.

Once the call was connected, they heard a female voice trembling with anticipation and glee. “Is the job done? Send me the video.”

There was no reply to that question. Jenny was not in a rush to say anything, either. Instead, she flashed a half-smile at Alec, who was standing not far away.

The client sounded annoyed when she didn’t get an answer. “Is the job done or not? I won’t let you off the hook if you don’t do your job after getting paid.”

Jenny picked up the phone from the floor and said with a smile, “Miss Lawrence, I’m afraid you’ll be disappointed.”

A gust of wind rattled the frame of the warehouse. The woman at the other end of the line went quiet before hurriedly disguising her voice and cooking up an excuse. “What Miss Lawrence? I think you got the wrong person.” Her lie was too obvious.

After the call ended, Jenny remained calm and unaffected, for she had grasped the mastermind’s identity. She dusted her palms and gave Gus one more kick, after which he passed out. Next, she glanced at Alec. ‘I’ll hand them over to you. I think you’ll know what to do with them. By the way, you should get your money bac. I don’t want your favor.” After all, he paid an astounding six million for her release.

She was beaming while talking to him, but he could sense the iciness in her tone.

He was associated with Faye, who coordinated the abduction…

“I didn’t know a thing about this,” he clarified, to which she shrugged. “Whatever. I don’t care.”

“Dr. Walter…”

“Also, Mr. Faust, please relay my message to Miss Lawrence,” she took a last look at him with a smile.” Tell her I will make her pay for this.”

“Jen-*

“Max, care to give me a ride back to the city?” she asked. Max nodded. “My pleasure.”

He witnessed an awesome show today. After an entire day of running around for her release, Alec seemed to have made himself an enemy of Jenny instead of earning her gratitude.

“Did I unexpectedly benefit from this?” Max wondered.

Noticing that Jenny had gotten into his car, he quickly got into the driver’s seat. Still, it was not exhilarating enough if he left abruptly. He looked at Alec and deliberately announced, “Goodbye, Mr. Faust. I’ll drive Jenny home. You should stay and wrap things up.”

Alec picked up the look of provocation in Max’s eyes, but his hands were tied. Faye’s involvement was unexpected, and he was equally surprised to learn that she was behind everything. As Jenny had always misunderstood his relationship with Faye, she might even believe he was an accomplice.

He rubbed his temples in frustration, feeling a migraine creeping in.
