Chapter 6 The Room Is Ready

  • The Watson family was indeed planning to make a move against their Zeller family. If that were to happen, there would be no chance of survival for the Zeller family.
  • The color drained from Violette's face in an instant, leaving her deathly pale.
  • She knew all along that the Watson family was far from benevolent. She was also aware that the Watson family had always been trying to undermine the Zeller family.
  • However, what Violette had never anticipated was that all of this would come so swiftly.
  • Upon seeing that Violette was intimidated by him and dared not speak further, Horace spoke with a smug expression on his face, “Half an hour, Sheila. You'd better remember my words. I'm only giving you another half an hour. You'd better think clearly. Do you still want your daughter back? I'll be at the Lovers Hotel, with a room ready and waiting for you. Remember, you only have half an hour. Also, you must come alone! If I don't see you within half an hour, you can forget about seeing your daughter ever again! By the way, Sheila, let me remind you once more. My men are nothing like me. They're rather sick in the head! Although your daughter is only four years old, she is quite attractive. Just like you, she's a budding beauty. I believe my men might take an interest in your daughter. Their unique preferences are... Well, I'd rather not say any further. Hahahaha!”
  • After Horace finished speaking, he laughed heartily a few more times before ending the video call.
  • His arrogance had driven Sheila to despair.
  • Having put away the phone, Horace casually issued a few instructions to his subordinates before stepping out of the yard.
  • He then drove his family's luxury car straight to Lovers Hotel.
  • With Nadine in his possession, Horace was filled with confidence. He was certain that Sheila would definitely show up as requested.
  • None of the women whom Horace had set his sights on could escape from his clutches, and Sheila was no exception.
  • Sheila was clueless as to what had gotten into Horace.
  • Half a month ago, Sheila had gone to a company owned by the Watson family for a job interview, hoping to find a decent job. It was there that she unexpectedly ran into Horace.
  • Unexpectedly, after that brief encounter, Horace found himself deeply captivated by Sheila's beauty.
  • He persistently pursued Sheila, intent on making her his woman.
  • Sheila's repeated polite rejections were all in vain.
  • On the contrary, the more Sheila rejected him, the stronger Horace's desire to possess her became, leading to the situation as it was now.
  • In order to win over Sheila, Horace was completely unscrupulous.
  • Horace felt that it wasn't fun to directly impose on Sheila.
  • After all, the experience of using force directly and her willingly presenting herself were two entirely different things.
  • For this very reason, Horace made up an excuse to have the HR department make the phone call yesterday afternoon.
  • Using the pretext of an interview, they invited Sheila to the Watson family's company.
  • Meanwhile, the person Horace had sent took advantage of the situation and went to Nadine's kindergarten.
  • They fabricated all sorts of excuses, spouting lies, and under the guise of Sheila's name, took Nadine away from the kindergarten.
  • “I was such a fool! I should have realized it sooner! Horace must have had ulterior motives for persistently stopping me from leaving! It's all my fault! I'm the one who ruined Nadine! I'm the one who hurt her!” Sheila exclaimed.
  • Unable to hold back her guilt any longer, she slapped herself on the cheek.
  • The slap that Sheila delivered was resounding. Soon, half of Sheila's cheek was swollen and red.
  • Sheila hit herself because she felt that it was entirely her fault that Nadine was captured.
  • “Don't do this, Sheila!” Violette hurriedly held her back, otherwise, Sheila would have wanted to slap herself again.
  • “By the way, Sheila... There's something else I need to tell you, but don't get angry, and please don't blame me.”
  • After a moment of hesitation, Violette continued, “While you were in the restroom, I... I texted Zoran. Perhaps he might come to rescue Nadine!”
