Zack Wallace was all smiles just a second ago, but as he realized something was amiss with Purple Summers, his expression instantly darkened, his face turning an iron blue as he stared at Gerald Grave.
âSecond Young Master, whatâs going on here!â Zack Wallace demanded.
Gerald Graves panicked, then realized that Zack Wallace had misunderstood!
âNo, no! Ms. Summers has a fever! Sheâs sick! Mr. King, I didnât do anything!â Gerald Graves hurried to explain, his own face also turning several shades paler.
He certainly didnât want to provoke the Howard Family! Probably only his older brother could afford to be so relaxed and cheerful in Zack Wallaceâs presence within the entire Graves Family.
Perhaps because their voices were too loud, Purple Summers woke up, slowly got out of the car while supporting her headâ
âMs. Summers,â Zack Wallace cautiously scrutinized Purple Summers, âhow about⦠I take you to the hospital first?ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âLetâs go later.â Purple Summers was still concerned about the events of the day and asked him, âHave you found out anything? What exactly happened?â
Zack Wallace figured the issue wouldnât take long to resolve, so it might be better to settle it first to ease Purple Summersâs mind.
He led Purple Summers and Second Young Master Graves to an inconspicuous residence, where a middle-aged man lay unconscious, slightly fat with a spade beard; it was the very Leroy mentioned earlier.
âThis guy said, a woman gave him 300 thousand to set up this affair, promising another 300 thousand after its successful completion.â
Zack Wallace had arrived here earlier than Purple Summers and Gerald Graves, captured the culprit beforehand, and after a âthorough investigation,â Leroy couldnât withstand Zack Wallaceâs methods and confessed everything.
These peopleâs ultimate fate was no more than death, something Gerald Graves was not concerned with; he was more interested in who was behind this and what their purpose was.
âWhat did the woman look like? How old was she?â Gerald Graves asked.
âLeroy said she was in her fifties, ordinary-looking and inconspicuous, but quite generous with money.â Zack Wallace replied.
Such a description obviously wasnât Bella Foster, but it couldnât be ruled out that she was another middleman.
This woman instructed the kidnappers to hold Ms. Summers and Second Young Master Graves in a basement, and after three days, to sever one of Gerald Graveâs fingers and deliver it to the Graves Family along with an extortion letter.
The extortion letter had a single line: prepare 7.5 million in cash, trade in three days.
There was time, but the exact location of the trade wasnât specified.
If the Graves Family received the extortion letter and finger, they would surely use all their resources to seek clues, but the kidnappers had prepared in advance, dooming the Graves Familyâs search to fail.
The poor Gerald Graves would suffer greatly in this time. The employer had ordered the kidnappers to break his legs, blind his eyes, and torment him to his last breath.
As for Purple Summers, she would be drugged, take turns entertaining these men, and do so in front of Gerald Graves.
After three days, the Graves Family would find this place, by which time someone will have tipped off the kidnappers. The kidnappers, having taken the money, would make a clean getaway, leaving only an almost breathless Second Young Master Graves and a repeatedly violated Purple Summers in the basement.
Once the affair concluded, the unfortunate Purple Summers would receive no comfort.
People would blame her for seducing Second Young Master Graves first and revealing his whereabouts, thereby attracting these brutal kidnappers.
Gerald Graves would also be furious with Purple Summers because every time he was tortured, she was frolicking with men before him. He had lost his legs, his eyes, while Purple Summers was unharmed! The vast psychological disparity would breed deep hatred, and Gerald Graves would come to despise Purple Summers to the core!
Thus, Purple Summers, who was clearly a victim, would not only be powerless to reclaim justice but would also have to bear the wrath of the Graves Family.
By that time, would Gavin Graves still care for Purple Summers?
A woman who had been despoiled by kidnappers countless times and had endangered her younger brother would only appear filthy and repulsive to Gavin Graves!
Having understood these things, Purple Summers picked up the pre-prepared extortion letter from the table and looked at it thoughtfully for a while.
She probably understood Bella Fosterâs planâ¦
