Hearing his question, Hicks was frightened for a moment.
What did she want? She feels something wrong the way he looks at her this time.
Stuart was what she wanted the most. Now sheās won this manās heart. She couldnāt give up her dreams of becoming Stuartās wife. She even allied with that man to get what she wanted.
Now she needed to get something for that man because thatās the reason why she agreed to become his eye over Stuart.
Could she escape from this?
Her heart started beating faster and faster. She tried the best to calm herself down and forced a smile, "I want passports of all your bank accounts and your safety before we get married,"
"Wow. What an ambitious girl." Stuart stared at her into her eyes and smiled strangely. He knew that this woman was evil and ambitious. From the very beginning, Stuart has some doubts about her. The moment Anna had mentioned that this woman looks like Marina, Stuart has begun to find the truth about her.
He looked .... scary in Hicksās eyes.
Hicks didnāt dare to look at his eyes. She pretended to be relaxing, "I want you to prove your sincerity. Would you tell me this? Would you are going to trust me with your money and power?"
"Of course. I would tell you everything when we get married."
"Really?" Hicks didnāt expect that Stuart agreed without any hesitation. She took relief.
She finally convinced herself that Stuart fell in love with her.
The man she has dreamed of for such a long time fell in love with her.
"Of course."
Stuart pulled her in his arms. When Hicks couldnāt see his face, the man looked angry and dangerous.
***
Edie had a dream. The dream was so beautiful that she didnāt want to wake up.
But finally, she had to wake up. She found she was in a strange place.
She was in a business car. And she was tied tightly. The truck was parked by the road. She didnāt see anyone else.
Was she kidnapped?
Edie started trembling. All she could remember was she got in Stuartās car yesterday. Then she had a dream. And then, she woke up in such a strange place.
Oh, my God.
She shouldnāt have this dream. Now she was kidnapped. Where was Stuart now? Was he safe now?
Edie bit off the rope and got out of the car.
When she wanted to distinguish direction, she heard a familiar voice.
"Where are you going to go?"
Edie turned around. She saw a woman in bright clothes.
Julia?
Edie froze. She was shocked.
After getting rid of Williamās men, Julia saw Edie getting out of the car. She sneered, "itās been such a long time since we met last time."
"But...I donāt want to see you again."
Julia was brutal in Edieās mind. Edie didnāt want to have anything to do with this woman.
Edie stepped back, approaching the car behind her.
She remembered that the key was still in the car.
Julia still sneered, "so sad. But I will never forget you, my baby. If you didnāt appear suddenly, my brother wouldnāt lock me up. You even stole my lover. Now you should pay for what youāve done."
Julia had planned all these for a long time. But William locked her up to stop doing any harm to Edie.
Today, she finally escaped and saw Edie in the truck.
She thought her William kidnapped Edie to threaten Stuart. As William was her brother, and Stuart was her lover, she didnāt want to make things difficult for both of them. So she decided to kill Edie for them.
Apart from this, she hated Edie so much.
She raised her whip high and snapped on Edieās body.
Edie immediately opened the car door and jumped into the car.
But even she was quick, and it was too late.
Blood oozed out from her wound. She was so painful.
She closed the door and started the engine.
Wait...
Why was it manual? She didnāt know how to operate the manual.
It took her quite a while to figure it out. But Julia already broke the car window.
"Get the hell out of the car."
At the same time, Edie started the car.
Julia was caught off guard. Her body rolled on the car and fell to the ground.
Edieās cheek was cut by a glass shard. Her face was bleeding.
She was in such a hurry that she couldnāt check the wound. Suddenly she felt a slight pain in the abdomen.
Her baby!
Edie drove the car faster and faster without noticing the direction. All she wanted was to get rid of Julia.
Edie didnāt know when she stopped. All she could feel was pain, extreme pain in her abdomen.
Mobile phone!
She needed to call someone to help her.
But she faded out in seconds.
Julia didnāt know where Edie went. She just drove along a road.
A car passed through her.
The driver looked crazy. The speed already reached up to 120km/h. But the driver still wanted to be faster,
William sat next to him. Though he believed the driverās skill, he thought he might die in this car.
"Stuart, please calm down. We might die before finding Edie."
"Shut your mouth up."
He roared at him.
He had everything planned. But he missed Julia.
After hearing the news, he rushed here. All he saw were men killed by Julia.
That woman was crazy and brutal.
If she dared to hurt Edie.
"Youād better pray that Edie is safe."
The man squeezed these words out.
William knew this man would definitely kill Julia if something bad happened to Edie.
Though he was Juliaās brother, actually he never cared about Julia. What Julia did was really stupid this time. So William didnāt say anything more.
William didnāt participate in the transfer. He had his best man to send Edie away. He stayed to create the illusion that Edie was kidnapped.
If he didnāt install a locator on Edie, they couldnāt find her location so soon.
