Domineering Mr. CEO and His Impudent Love

But now, she’s been waiting for half a day for the video request.

Why hasn’t there been any movement from Hannah’s side?

As she was pondering with her head down, she suddenly heard a muffled noise beside her.

Joan Wellington instinctively looked up but before she could see clearly, she felt a pain in the back of her neck.

The next second, her world was plunged into darkness.

*

Lily Gray felt as if her entire being had sunk into a heavy daze.

She felt her body swaying and her head drowsy.

Most importantly, the soreness in the back of her neck made her want to cry out in pain.

She didn’t know how long it had been, but her body finally regained some sensation.

Unconsciously, she moved her limbs and found herself seemingly bound.

Just as she was about to try moving again, a familiar voice suddenly sounded in her ear.

“Don’t move.”

The voice was soft and shallow, as if deliberately lowered, or as if it really had no strength and was just a forced warning.

With just one word, Lily Gray knew who the voice belonged to.

Joan Wellington, she was next to her.

As she wondered where they were,

Joan whispered to her, “We’ve been kidnapped… This is the back seat.”

Joan Wellington had awakened about ten minutes earlier than Lily Gray.

As soon as she woke up, she realized her predicament.

The Wellington family, a wealthy family, had always taught their children self-defense and how to protect themselves in case of kidnapping.

Although Joan often appeared simple-minded,

she was very alert in this regard.

“Kidnapping…” Lily Gray almost gasped, but Joan immediately bumped her shoulder to make her keep quiet.

Lily was startled. In the darkness, she couldn’t see anything clearly.

Mimicking Joan’s whispers, Lily said, “How can this be kidnapping? There are bodyguards everywhere in the hotel!”

They were not small objects.

How could two fully grown people be taken away so easily?

“I don’t know. But this group of people is not simple. I felt the rope that tied my hands, it’s a professional binding method, not a common knot. Also, this car…listen to its sound…it’s modified.”

Lily Gray could not hear any difference between the sound of this car and a normal one.

But considering Joan’s wealthy family background, she might really know about it.

“These people are probably targeting me.” Such a kidnapping could not have been arranged today.

This must have been planned long ago.

Joan thought that Lily’s identity had just been exposed at the banquet.

So, the person they were trying to capture must have been her.

Lily Gray was just unlucky to be implicated.

Thinking of this, she leaned close to Lily’s ear and whispered, “They are targeting me, and I didn’t expect you to be involved. In any case, when they take us out later, try not to make a sound, just lower your head and pretend to be scared. Don’t look at them one and a half million times. I’ll try to negotiate with them to not involve the innocent and let you go.”

Lily Gray was stunned, not expecting Joan to say such words.

“You don’t have to do this. I can…”

“How can I let you do it? Even if you don’t care about yourself, you need to care about the child in your stomach…”

Before Joan had finished speaking, the car suddenly stopped abruptly.

Due to inertia, Lily’s body was violently thrown backward, hitting Joan hard.

Joan held back, not daring to cry out in pain for fear of alerting the kidnappers outside.
