Chapter 314

They were making their way through an underground tunnel. Except for the lights on the wall, not a single bit of light from outside could get in, so it was naturally a bit chilly.

Emily shook her head, saying nothing, but picked up her pace.

After making Lydia reveal her hand, Emily and Austin didn’t rush back to Cloudridge. Instead, they went off the grid and quietly slipped into a basement nobody else even knew existed.

Locked up down here was none other than Cale, the very same guy who had suddenly disappeared not long ago.

The basement was dim and damp, lined with all kinds of creepy torture tools. Cale was tied to a chair, a black cloth tied over his eyes, leaving him completely in the dark.

When he heard footsteps getting closer, Cale instantly freaked out. He said, “Who are you? Please, don’t hurt me. I have money-lots of it. Just let me go, I can pay you as much as you want.”

He kept begging for his life, all the while racking his brain, wondering who would kidnap him.

Sure, he’d pissed off plenty of people before, but he always used his cash to smooth things over. The only one who might go after him was Lydia, but he felt Lydia would never dare pull something like this.

While Cale was still trying to figure things out, Emily suddenly yanked the black cloth off his eyes.

The sudden burst of light made him squeeze his eyes shut, and he had to blink a few times before he could see clearly-the first thing he saw was Emily standing right in front of him. Judging by his reaction, he clearly knew Emily.

He asked, “I never did anything to you. Why are you kidnapping me?”

Emily stood over him, her icy gaze full of dominance. She said, “Since you admit you know me, I’ll get straight to the point. Are you holding any dirt on Lydia?”
