Chapter 6 The day before Josephine left the country , Edward sent someone to pick up both daughters from the hospital . Josephine and Dorothy got into the same car . But halfway there , the driver suddenly changed direction and turned onto a small road . By the time Josephine realized something was wrong , the car had already stopped in front of an abandoned factory . The driver opened the door , and two fierce - looking kidnappers rushed up and dragged her and Dorothy out . Dorothy was terrified and screamed at the top of her lungs , " Help , let me go ! " Josephine was stunned , too . The driver was clearly arranged by their father . How could he have been bought off by kidnappers ? While she was still thinking , the two of them were thrown into a dilapidated room . One kidnapper said coldly , " One of you is Nathaniel's fiancée , and the other is his future sister - in - law . Asking him for a ransom of 15 million dollars isn't too much , is it ? " Dorothy's eyes went wide , and before she could speak , the kidnapper had already dialed Nathaniel's number and put it on speaker . " Hello ? " The man's deep voice came through the phone . 15.26 Chapter 6 The kidnapper gave Dorothy a look . She immediately started sobbing . " Nathan , it's me , it's Dorothy ! " I - I was kidnapped , and they want a ransom of 15 million dollars ... " 280 Vouchers Nathaniel's voice instantly turned cold . " Don't touch Dorothy ! Send me the account number , I'll transfer the money right away . " Hearing this , the kidnapper then held the phone to Josephine's mouth . " You say something too . As long as Nathaniel adds another 800 thousand dollars , we'll let you go as well . " Josephine clenched her fists . Nathaniel hated her so much . Why would he spend money to save her ? Just as she was thinking how to respond , another kidnapper whispered to his partner , " Bro , didn't Ms. Josephine say the ransom was 15 million dollars ? Why ... " The kidnapper's voice wasn't loud , but Nathaniel , on the other end , heard everything clearly . Nathaniel's fingers gripped the phone tight , his face so dark it could drip ink . So Josephine was working with the kidnappers ! No wonder the driver was bought off , and the kidnappers dared to demand such a sky - high ransom . With that thought , Nathaniel said coldly , " Whether Josephine lives or dies has nothing to do with me . Do whatever you want with her . " Since Josephine wanted money so badly , he'd give it to her to end their relationship . Hearing this , Josephine felt her heart sink into the abyss . 15.26 Chapter 6 So Nathaniel truly wanted her dead ... He never loved her . Only endless , deep - rooted hatred . *** Not long after , the sound of screeching brakes came from outside the warehouse . Nathaniel rushed in and held Dorothy tightly in his arms . Then he cast a glance at Josephine in the corner , like she was trash , and said to the kidnappers , " The money has been sent . As for Josephine , do whatever you like with her . Sell her to some remote mountain village or finish her off . Your choice . " Josephine watched helplessly as Nathaniel carried Dorothy away without a backward glance . Once they left , the kidnappers stopped pretending and sneered openly . " We heard you slept with Nathaniel before . Thought he might care about you a little . But turns out he wouldn't even spend 800 thousand dollars for you . Guess in his eyes , you're worth nothing . " Josephine looked at the kidnappers coldly . " You already got the money . Can I leave now ? " " Leave ? " The kidnappers laughed like they'd heard the funniest joke . " We got the money , but the fun isn't over yet . You just wait and enjoy it ! " The two of them lunged at Josephine , tearing at her clothes . The next second , a burning cigarette butt was ground into her skin ! Josephine let out a shrill scream , cold sweat and tears covering her face . 15.26 Chapter 6 Seeing her so miserable only made the kidnappers more excited . " Heard you were bullied at school like this . Today , we'll help you relive it properly . " " Should we burn a word into her ? " " Sure , what should we burn ?" " How about ' slut ' ? Suits her ! Hahaha ... " The cigarette butt pressed inch by inch into her legs , her waist , her back . Josephine was drenched in sweat from the pain , nearly losing consciousness . She didn't know how long it lasted before the two finally stopped , laughing wildly as they swaggered out . Josephine curled up in the wreckage , her body twitching now and then . As the sky darkened and the stabbing pain slowly eased , she finally forced herself up , braced against the wall , and staggered forward step by step . 15.26
