CHAPTER 176: CHAPTER 176: SNATCHING BACK THE JADE BRACELET

The plane exploded, and Damien Lancaster wiped out the child trafficking criminal gang. This lone survivor came to seek revenge on Damien Lancaster.

Admitting to being Damien Lancaster’s wife is very dangerous, and Rachel Shaw knew she couldn’t admit it.

Rachel Shaw stuttered, "It’s her, it really is her, she is Damien Lancaster’s wife."

Ivy Summers remained relatively calm, "Damien Lancaster and I are already divorced, you can check that online, and she is Damien Lancaster’s fiancée."

The man glanced at his phone, confirmed what Ivy said, and then looked at Rachel Shaw with a malicious gaze, "It’s you."

Rachel Shaw desperately shook her head, "I’m Damien Lancaster’s fiancée, but Damien doesn’t love me, the one Damien truly loves is her."

"If he loved me, why would he divorce me?"

"You were the one who wanted the divorce, Damien didn’t want to divorce you at all."

"Miss Shaw, how can you lie? It’s obvious you two are in love and kicked me out."

Rachel Shaw lifted her head, "The news of Damien Lancaster kneeling was because of her."

Ivy Summers said, "She’s talking nonsense."

Rachel Shaw gritted her teeth, "Ivy Summers!"

Ivy Summers responded, "Scream, go ahead, scream all you want, it’s still nonsense by you."

The two women went back and forth, the man felt muddled and enraged, "Both of you damn women shut up. You, call Damien Lancaster, since you are his fiancée, he can’t possibly not care about you."

The man slashed the rope and handed the phone to Rachel Shaw.

Rachel Shaw shook so much she couldn’t hold the phone, "I... it’s useless if I call..."

"Stop talking nonsense and call!"

Under the man’s coercion, Rachel Shaw was forced to input Damien Lancaster’s phone number,

The phone rang and rang, and finally, in the tense waiting, it connected.

"Damien! Damien! Save me, I’ve been kidnapped."

There was no sound from the other side.

Rachel Shaw hurriedly said, "Ivy Summers is also kidnapped, Damien, I don’t want to die, please come save me..."

Another frightening silence ensued.

After a while, Damien Lancaster finally said, "Give the phone to the kidnapper."

"He wants to talk to you," Rachel Shaw pointed to the phone and handed it to the man.

The man took it, "Does President Lancaster still remember me?"

"Speak directly, what do you want?"

"Seems like President Lancaster still remembers, everyone says you’re ruthless, and those who provoke you have no good ending, I truly see that now."

The plane exploded, everyone on it died, he happened to survive, but he was severely injured.

The money was gone, the organization was gone, his life was almost gone, how could he be content?

"I have both of President Lancaster’s women. If you want them to live, come find me," the man chuckled twice, sounding especially frightening.

While his back was turned to them making the call, Ivy Summers raised her hands, indicating for Rachel Shaw to untie her.

Rachel Shaw snorted coldly, "Dream on, don’t even think about escaping."

Ivy Summers suspected Rachel Shaw’s brain got caught in a door; at a time when their lives were in danger, she didn’t think of escaping together but instead sowed discord.

The man had already hung up the phone, turned back to stare at the two, Rachel Shaw pointed at Ivy Summers, "Boss, she just tried to escape, I controlled her."

Ivy Summers said coldly, "She tried to escape, my hands are tied, how could I run?"

The man went over and slapped each of them.

They became obedient.

Ivy Summers tugged at the corner of her mouth, looking at Rachel Shaw who was crying non-stop, "Serves you right for your foul mouth."

Rachel Shaw covered her face, "You!"

"Both of you shut up, when Damien Lancaster arrives, I’ll deal with you both."

The man tied Rachel Shaw’s hands back and locked the door.

The sound indicated the man went downstairs.

Ivy Summers was a bit worried about Sophie, whom she had pushed outside.

Presumably, Nina Summers was still outside.

Sophie was with Nina Summers, she didn’t know if they were in danger.

However, Nina Summers still had a favor to ask of her. As long as she didn’t truly want to marry Leo Holloway, she wouldn’t lay a hand on Sophie at this moment.

Thinking so, Ivy Summers felt a bit more at ease.

At this moment, there was a sound of the door opening downstairs.

Ivy Summers got up and moved to the door, Rachel Shaw’s constant crying was affecting her, "If you want to survive, then shut your mouth."

Rachel Shaw shut her mouth.

Ivy Summers pressed her ear against the door.

Fortunately, this villa was quite old, the soundproofing wasn’t that good.

She seemed to hear someone calling her name...

Downstairs, Ella Morgan dragged a suitcase, opened the door with a key, and entered.

"Ivy, why didn’t you turn on the light? Could you be out of the house?"

Ella Morgan put down her luggage, walked inside, and turned on the light. Just as she was about to go upstairs, she lifted her gaze and saw a man coming down from upstairs.

The man saw her too, Ella Morgan immediately became alert, "Who are you?"

Coming down from upstairs!

Ivy!

Ella Morgan suddenly sensed something bad, but the man was already walking towards her. Ella Morgan stepped back, reaching for a broom beside her.

As the man approached, she grabbed the broom in her hand and swung it forcefully at him, "You rascal, what are you doing in my best friend’s house? Rascal! Rascal!"

The man was hit several times with the broom, his eyes suddenly turned sinister. He snatched the broom, "Deliver yourself, none of you are leaving."

After being dragged into the room, Ella Morgan saw Ivy Summers and Rachel Shaw inside, in disbelief.

She never thought there would be a day when the three of them would be caught together.

Ivy Summers panicked upon seeing Ella Morgan, "Ella?"

"Ivy! What’s going on? Why is Rachel Shaw here too, who is that man?"

"That man is the kidnapper who previously kidnapped Sophie."

"Weren’t they all dead? How..." Ella Morgan gave Rachel Shaw a fierce glare, "It’s all because of you."

"Don’t you falsely accuse me, what does this have to do with me?" Rachel Shaw surely wouldn’t admit to anything.

"Now’s not the time to argue with her, let’s think about how to get out of here, or else we’ll all die."

Desperadoes are scary, but cornered desperadoes are even scarier.

Ella Morgan was also captured, and the situation became even more dire, making Ivy Summers feel a headache.

"Didn’t you see Sophie at the door when you came in?"

Ella Morgan shook her head, "No, there was no one at the door."

It must have been Nina Summers who took Sophie away.

Ivy Summers felt the tension in her heart tighten, hoping that Nina would be smart. If she was foolish enough to want to harm Sophie, she would be courting her own death.

After the man tied them up, he left, and Ivy Summers crawled up, moving towards the bathroom. If she remembered correctly, there was a small knife in there.

Now they had to think of a way to save themselves.

Ella Morgan glanced at Rachel Shaw, who was sobbing, and her gaze fell on Rachel’s hands, which were tied behind her back. On her wrist was a particularly eye-catching jade bracelet of imperial green.

Ella Morgan knew that it was Ivy Summers’ thing.

Ella gritted her teeth, climbed up, and pressed Rachel Shaw face down onto the ground.

Rachel Shaw panicked, "What do you want to do? Let go of me."

"Shut up. This bracelet is something you secretly took from Ivy. What’s wrong with me taking it back?"

"Let go, let go of me." Rachel Shaw struggled hard, "What evidence do you have to prove this bracelet is hers? It’s mine."

"Even if stolen things end up in your possession, how shameless can you be?"

Ella Morgan sat on Rachel Shaw, using her hands to forcefully pull the bracelet off her wrist.

Rachel Shaw gritted her teeth, "This is robbery."

"Better than stealing it, right?"

"Damien gave it to me, so how is it stealing?"

"Taking without asking is stealing. Is it Damien Lancaster’s to give away?"

Rachel Shaw’s eyes turned red with anger, and Ella Morgan hid the bracelet in a corner of the room.

At this moment, she heard footsteps outside and immediately called out to Ivy Summers, "Ivy, someone’s coming."

Ivy Summers quickly came out of the bathroom.

Ella Morgan looked at her, "How is it?"

Ivy Summers opened her palm, holding a small knife.

...

Meanwhile, outside.

Damien Lancaster’s people had already surrounded the entire villa, and Julian Jacobs knew the situation was urgent.

"Sir, the person inside is the one who previously kidnapped Sophie, named Grimblade, someone who luckily escaped on the plane last time and is now back for revenge."

"Besides Ivy Summers and Rachel Shaw, where is Sophie?"

"Sophie is here!" In the dark, Nina Summers ran out holding Sophie, approaching Damien Lancaster as if expecting a reward, "President Lancaster, Sophie is with me, I saved Sophie."

Damien Lancaster squinted his dark eyes, taking Sophie from Nina Summers’ arms.

"Daddy, Mommy is in danger." Sophie was very anxious.

"Daddy knows, and Daddy will save her."

Damien Lancaster handed Sophie to Julian Jacobs behind him. Julian first took Sophie to the car; everything was unknown now, and the child’s safety had to be secured first.

Nina Summers was still waiting for Damien Lancaster to praise her.

But Damien Lancaster didn’t even look at her; instead, he took out his phone.

The man inside dared to call him directly, so his target wasn’t just Ivy Summers and Rachel Shaw, but Damien too.

The call was answered.

"I’ve arrived. Get straight to the point about what you want."

"I know President Lancaster brought a lot of people. This time, you won’t let me go for sure. Rest assured, I won’t spare your women either."

With that, Grimblade hung up and yanked Ivy Summers up.

Ella Morgan lunged forward, "What are you trying to do?"

"None of your damn business! Get lost!" Ella was kicked away by Grimblade.

The man was strong, kicking Ella so hard she couldn’t straighten up from the pain.

Ivy Summers’ eyes tightened, "The grudge is between us, don’t hurt others."

"Cut the damn crap."

The man yanked Rachel Shaw up too, one in each hand, dragging them out.

Rachel Shaw, fearing for her life, knew this was a desperado who could do anything.

She was trembling all over with fear, continuously begging, "Big brother, please let me go. I will plead for you, let them set you free..."

"You want money, I can give you money, can I, big brother?"

"Let you go, give me money?"

Rachel Shaw nodded desperately.

The man sneered, "I broke in today alone, do you think I’m here for money? I never planned to leave."

Ivy Summers’ eyes tightened.

She understood the meaning behind those words: the man intended to go down with them.

They were directly dragged to the third floor.

The man pressed the two of them against the window, looking down, and there was Damien Lancaster!

Damien quickly looked up when he heard the commotion, seeing Grimblade holding both Ivy Summers and Rachel Shaw.

"President Lancaster, these two are your women. Let’s play a choice game: these two women, only one can live. Who do you choose?"

"Damien, save me!" Rachel Shaw cried out, tears streaming down her face.

She didn’t want to be the one who died.

But she knew Damien Lancaster would definitely choose Ivy Summers.

She was destined to be the one abandoned.

"Choose, President Lancaster likes playing with bombs, so I prepared some today too. Today I’ll play with President Lancaster; the one not chosen, I’ll help you with, and poof, everything disappears."

Hearing the man talk about bombing them, Rachel Shaw almost fainted from fear, "Damien, I don’t want to die, I don’t want to die..."

Ivy Summers pressed her lips tightly, thinking carefully about the mention of bombs, wondering where the man got them.

She wasn’t sure if there were any bombs, but Ivy Summers indeed smelled gasoline here.

"Sir, what should we do now?"

Damien Lancaster stared intently at the people on the third floor, pursing his lips, "Send two skilled people to remove the glass, let them in, and wait for my command to act."

"Understood."

Julian Jacobs immediately took action, sending two people forward.

"President Lancaster, if you don’t choose, neither of your women will live, hurry! Choose!"
