Chapter 1181 Being Fooled
“Is that Lucia?!” Billy’s face turned pale.
“Yes, it’s that Lucia…” the pilot answered foolishly.
“Oh my god! This is bad!” Billy slapped his thigh and quickly looked in the direction Jacob had left, but there was no trace of the convoy at this point.
“What’s wrong, sir?” The pilot felt confused by Billy’s reaction.
“Do you know who Lucia is? She’s Arthur’s woman! She’s also the CEO of Webbex Group!” Billy cursed angrily, “That scumbag Casper tricked me! I was wondering why he needed to bring someone with him when it was Nia he wanted to cover for. It turns out he kidnapped Lucia instead! Arthur won’t spare me!”
As soon as Billy finished speaking, a convoy suddenly entered the airport entrance kicking up dust and parked right in front of him before coming to a complete stop. Arthur got out of the car with an icy expression on his face.
At first sight of Arthur’s face, Billy felt his legs begin to wobble uncontrollably.
“Where is Casper?” Like the King of Hell, Arthur strode towards Billy, exuding an aura full of killing intent.
Billy wondered if it was still possible for him to distance himself from Casper now.
“Where is he?” When Arthur spoke again, his oppressive presence made breathing difficult for Billy.
“He just… just got on a car and left…” Trembling all over while cursing Casper inwardly in his heart, Billy replied hesitantly. At this time, others had also gotten off their cars one after another. Each dressed in combat gear with fierce expressions. They surrounded both Billy and his men within half a second.
“In which direction did they go? Did he say where he wanted to go?” Ignoring how scared stiff Billy seemed, Kane asked anxiously.
“No… he didn’t say…” Once again trembling voice replied by Billy.
“Did you see Lucia?” Kane shouted furiously.
With guilty conscience written all over him, Billy glanced at Kane hesitantly before answering shakily, “I didn’t see her clearly but there was a woman whose face was covered by Casper. They got into one of those cars… It should be Ms. Webb.”
“Should be?!!” Kyle roared, “You’re not doing too well here, Mr. George. You knew that someone had been kidnapped by Casper, and yet you just stood there watching them leave without even asking any questions?! Are you trying to provoke Davonnis Corp into turning your entire family upside down because we don’t have enough power?!”
Kyle wasn’t bullying Billy. What Billy did really made people angry. He clearly saw someone being taken away by Jacob, but chose not do anything about it!
“Mr. Davies, I really didn’t know that person was Ms. Webb. Otherwise I wouldn’t have just watched Casper run away… And I’m also a victim here. He tricked me that he caused a conflict with his father, and I only helped him arrange to leave to avoid trouble…” Billy quickly defended himself.Property © NôvelDrama.Org.
Arthur raised his hand to stop Billy from speaking and coldly sentenced him to death, saying, “After this matter is over, I will have a good talk with your father.”
Billy’s face immediately fell, and he couldn’t help but want to continue to argue. However, Arthur had already taken his men into the car and chased after him after confirming the direction.
“Damn it! Casper screwed me over! I’m going to hold him accountable!” Billy spat out angrily, quickly taking out his phone to contact Casper. However, the phone was turned off as soon as he dialed the number. He finally realized that he had been used by Casper.
He angrily smashed the phone on the ground, shattering it into pieces, but it was already too late and futile.
Speeding towards the direction of the neighboring state, Jacob kept looking back to make sure there were no pursuers before finally letting out a sigh of relief. He glanced at Lucia sitting beside him and sneered, “Don’t hold back. Are you tired? We still have a long ride ahead of us… Arthur and them won’t be able to catch up.”
It was precisely because he wanted to leave no trace that Jacob specifically asked Billy to find him unlicensed cars. The license plates of these cars would be changed every other block, making it impossible to track them through surveillance. With this in mind, Jacob felt completely at ease.
“Where do you plan to escape to?” Lucia finally spoke up.
“Escape?” Jacob raised his eyebrows in disbelief, clearly not agreeing with the word. Of course, he wouldn’t answer truthfully either, “You’ll find out when you get to your destination.”
“Jacob, by kidnapping me, you have undoubtedly sentenced yourself to death. If you turn back now, there may still be a chance for you,” Lucia said calmly despite being trapped in captivity. She looked at Jacob who was slumped in his seat.
Even though Jacob appeared confident on the surface, Lucia could tell that he was still extremely nervous. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have slumped down in his seat without any proper posture after getting into the car.
“A chance?” Jacob sneered coldly, “With the hatred you have for me, how could there be any chance for survival? Instead of sitting and waiting to die, I’d rather take a desperate gamble. You see, I have you firmly in my grasp now, don’t I?”
“Are you sure?” Lucia intentionally moved her bound hands, and in the next moment, Jacob jumped nervously, his eyes fixed on her hands. Lucia smiled and said, “As I thought, you’re still afraid…”
Jacob realized he had been played by Lucia and instinctively clutched his heart, glaring at her fiercely. Lucia simply smiled and turned away, looking at Jacob’s false bravado with indifference.
“I advise you not to make any rash moves,” Jacob warned menacingly after confirming with his eyes that Lucia was indeed unable to break free from her restraints. “I’m already a wanted man! I have nothing left to lose.”
But this time, Lucia couldn’t be bothered with him anymore.
During the pursuit, Arthur had handed over the company affairs to the vice president for handling while Kane was on the phone contacting top executives of the company, ordering them to keep news of the CEO’s kidnapping under wraps. Miles was still dealing with StandHill’s mess.
Miles locked up all of Jacob’s henchmen in security rooms, when Sage returned upon hearing about it. Miles didn’t know he had already turned against them and almost locked him up too until Arthur called and explained everything. Only then did Miles feel relieved enough to let him join in guarding their territory.
“I’ll take all of Jacob’s men into Mr. Davies’ hangar for detention,” Sage told Miles before leaving. “Then I’ll persuade them all together as witnesses in court against him while you will handle appeasing other shareholders.”
Miles was worried about how to deal with Jacob’s men but when Sage offered a solution he happily agreed. After Sage took them away, he called back shareholders who were still shocked by what happened and explained everything before asking if anyone participated in any illegal activities prior related to Jacob. Everyone naturally distanced themselves from any association or involvement with him whatsoever!
