Chapter 1025 She Is Bold The kidnappers didnât knock Audrey out; instead, they tied her up with ropes. They also had a camera rolling the entire time, capturing every expression of fear and disarray on her face. They dragged her from the van to an abandoned construction site.
Holding the camera on her, one of the kidnappers sneered. âHey, shawty, weâve heard youâre quite the actress. Be a good girl and make this video look good, and you might suffer less.â
Calmly, Audrey looked up at them and said, âGiven you know who I am, you must be aware of my family name, Swann. Havenât you heard of the Swannsâ reputation in Casier?â
These men had kidnapped numerous people, used to victims begging for mercy. However, Audreyâs composure and guts to intimidate them were quite surprising.
They werenât from Casier and were unaware of the local power dynamics. They only knew Audrey as a celebrity, and that having a nude video of her would mean completing their mission. They werenât worried about her causing trouble; after all, her career meant everything to her. A scandalous video leak would ruin her. No one would make a choice like that.
âWe donât care about the Swanns. Weâre paid to do this job. If you donât do as we say, weâll teach you a lesson,â the man threatened.
Audrey scoffed mockingly. âHumph! Seems like you really have a death wish. If you lay a finger on me, not only will you suffer, but your families will too,â she warned them with such authority that they were all taken aback. Initially planning to take action immediately, they decided to investigate the Swanns further before making their next move.
Triston was rushing anxiously towards the eastern suburbs of the city. On the way, he received a call from his assistant.
âMr. Lambert, weâve found out who switched Miss Swannâs seat at the press conference tonight. It was Janice from the Freesons of Loxton.â
Tonightâs incident seemed too sudden to have been premeditated, more like a spur-of-the-moment decision. Triston speculated that Audrey must have been offended by someone at the launch event, sparking the current crisis. He had immediately sent people to investigate and, surprisingly, they had unearthed some leads.
After hanging up with his assistant, Triston messaged Branden. Since the Freesons dared to mess with Catherineâs sister, the Duncans should take care of it.
When Branden received Tristonâs message, he was on his way back to Casier from Loxton. Catherine Swann was resting in Casier, and he intended to return as soon as his business was concluded. After reading the message, he looked up and instructed his driver, â To the Freesonsâ!â
The driver, though puzzled by Brandenâs sudden change of plans, didnât dare to ask questions and hurriedly turned towards the Freesonsâ.
The Freesons were astir upon hearing of Brandenâs visit. The Duncansâ reputation in Loxton was well-known, and they couldnât fathom why such an important figure would visit them late at night. If they knew the reason, theyâd probably be too scared to even open the door.
