Chapter 471

Bang!

The men who came to kidnap her heard the police sirens and panicked. They rushed back into their car and disregarding others’ safety, they drove into another car to make way for themselves to flee.

Master Harris did not want to reveal his identity, and so he left with his men before the police arrived.

The remaining bodyguards stopped their SUV’s by the roadside and began searching for Sophia.

There was not much covering by the road and it would not take long for them to reach the bushes where Sophia was hiding.

Sophia gulped nervously as she furrowed her brows and studied her surroundings.

As long as she could hide herself from these bodyguards, she could borrow a phone from someone later and give Dr. Hemingway a call.

However, the problem now was that... it was practically impossible for her to stay hidden.

“Search over there, there’s nowhere for her to hide here.”

“Everyone, please try to help and search for the young mistress. She’s intellectually disabled so she might be in danger if she gets lost.”

She heard a group of people talking and footsteps nearing the bushes.

Sophia bit her lip as her heart raced against her chest. There were not a lot of coverings here, and with so many people, they would be able to find her soon enough.

What should she do...

“Don’t worry, don’t you see the bushes ahead? She’s probably just hiding there because she was frightened just now.”

“We can’t help but be anxious, our task is to protect our young mistress. If anything happens to her, even if our master doesn’t blame us, we won’t be able to face ourselves.”

The sound of the bodyguards and the friendly passers-by sounded from not far away.

Sophia clenched her fists as the frown on her face deepened.

The chances of running away in front of them were too low. Moreover, she was wounded over so even if she did try to run, she would not be able to run quickly. In fact, she might pass out from the intense action too.

She did not know if the passers-by would believe her either if she told them that she was not intellectually disabled, but a kidnap victim.

However, just as the thought flashed through her mind, a black Volkswagen stopped before her.

Sophia’s heart sank and her first instinct was to stand up and call for the bodyguards.

No matter what, going back to Master Harris was a better option than falling into the hands of their enemy!

However, before she could make a sound, the car door opened all of a sudden, very conveniently blocking the view as someone yanked her into the car.

She did not even have the chance to fight back when the car door shut behind her and the car drove away.

Meanwhile, the bodyguards and kindhearted passers-by continued searching for her.

-

In a villa tucked away in the suburbs.

Smack!

The slap on Sylvia’s face was so strong her cheek instantly became swollen, and even the corners of her mouth oozed blood.

Jax stood in the corner, his face a shade of ghastly white as he nervously handed her a handkerchief.

However, as soon as she took it in hand, someone snatched it away and threw it on the floor before stomping on it furiously.

Sylvia remained silent as she endured this humiliation. She did not even dare to look at the man standing before her.

The man seemed to be in his sixties, and his handsome looks exuded a sense of dignified demeanor. He had a certain air of arrogance that naturally made people feared him, and now that he was provoked, Sylvia did not even dare to look him in the eye.

He kept his gaze on Sylvia as he gritted his teeth. “I told you so many times before not to lay a finger on Charles’s woman, why didn’t you listen to me?”

Sylvia opened her mouth but it was as if something was stuck in her throat and she could not speak at all.

“Speak!” The man raised his voice as flames shot out his eyes.

Sylvia trembled involuntarily when he shrieked. She tried to force a smile, but it only made her look worse than crying. “This might not have anything to do with Charles, and besides, isn’t... Isn’t Commander Zoe the one who found out about this?”

Charles had been drinking all day at Bamboo Virtues Village and he had not stepped foot in his company since the funeral, so how could this possibly be his doing?

She might not be the one to blame this time.

“Hmph!” The man scoffed and continued in an angry tone, “Do you think Commander Zoe would be able to find out about it without that grandson of yours?”

What was the meaning of this? Judging from his words, it seemed that he already had evidence that Charles was indeed involved in this matter!

At this thought, Sylvia felt her blood turn cold as her lips began to quiver. “Mr.... Mr. Zellner, there must be... an understanding!”

Before she even finished her sentence, Mr. Zellner pulled her by her hair. Pain shot through her scalp and she felt as if her entire scalp was about to be pulled out.

“Do you really not know or are you just pretending to be stupid?” A menacing look flashed across Mr. Zellner’s eyes. “He suddenly made such a big move... Sylvia Yates, do you dare to say that you didn’t tell him anything?”

He had already begun to suspect her from the moment everything was exposed!

Sophia was still alive?!

How was that possible?

The car crash site was so horrible that she could not even look at it, and she was absolutely certain that Sophia was failed to be rescued when she was taken to the hospital!

Before Sylvia could even process this piece of information, Mr. Zellner continued, “As for your behavior all along... Hmph, you’re an actress, aren’t you? Acting is your specialty after all, isn’t it?”

“Mr. Zellner, please let me explain!” Mr. Zellner had deeply misunderstood her so she must explain herself before the situation worsen!

“I arranged for Leah to kill Sophia and I thought that she really did kill Sophia. I don’t know why she’s still alive but I really didn’t know!”

Atrophy of Love: Mr. Harris, Stop Fooling Around!

Chapter 470 Good That You’re Sensible “You must believe me! I would never betray you after how kind you have been to me! Actually... Actually, it’s not a bad thing that Sophia is still alive, right? If Charles truly is the one behind this, you can capture Sophia and use her against Charles!”

Out of desperation, she was rambling whatever that came to mind first.

Jax quickly added as well, “Mr. Zellner, I can guarantee that both of us have nothing to do with this! We are only loyal to you...”

“Shut up!” Mr. Zellner shouted, “Tie the two of them up and inform Charles that I have Sophia and his grandmother, let’s see what he does next!”

Although Commander Zoe appeared to be the person who was investigating this matter, he found out later on that the person behind the scenes was Charles!

He must have Sophia as a bargaining chip, then he would be certain as to what decison Charles would make!
