Chapter 80 Murmuring His Name
“Muller, did I do something wrong? Why did you suddenly become so cold?” Royce asked innocently
I didn’t answer him. I glanced at the time my phone; it was 11:00 pm, and there weren’t many people on the streets. Howan called me again. I answered the call, but just as I was about to speak, Royce grasped my wrist tightly. Unlike his gentle demeanor before, he said angelly, “come with me!”
It seemed rather deserted.
I was surprised; thadn’t expected Royce to change so suddenly, this grip was hight, and he dragged me toward the car
There were some passersby, but no one dared to intervene. I had never encountered such a situation, and I telt very confused. Suddenly, I remembered the call, and I screamed for help
Nove pushed me into the car and snatched my phone from my hand.
“Dehave yourself!“.
Kaden was stoking in the driver’s seat. He turned around to glance at me and quirked a sinister smile. “Surprise, Ivory.”
“What do you want, Kaden?” tsaldining to sound calm
“Bitch, you made me lose my job, and Natalie booke up with me. You made me lose everything! I can’t just accept my fate and not teach you a lesson.
Thave nothing to lose. Tonight, I’ll make sure you repay tentimes more than what I’ve lost!”
Kadentored the cigarette out the window and drove off. After a long drive, the car stopped at a pier. Kaden and Royer dragged me to a container. Before I could even stand properly, I was slapped in the face. I felt a burning sensation on my cheeks, and I felt dizzy, too.
Rove brought a chair. As Kaden tied me to the chair, he kept cursing at me.
You now be two choices,” Kaden said, holding up two fingers.
“Chalce number one–transfer five billion dollars to me as compensation. Choice number two–we’ll rape you, then kill you and throw you into the ocean.”
I wondered why I hadn’t realized howell Kaden max.
“Kaden, you dated Natalie for a long time, and she treated you well. Since you betrayed her, shouldn’t you let her go? You were the one at fault, why are you blaming it on me?” asked, staring at Kaden.
“Who are you to meddle with my business?”
Triggered by my woods, Raden suddenly lacked me. I landed on the ground, hitting the back of my head. It hurt tremendously.

Royce had no grudges against me, and he had probably done it for the money. So, he stopped Raden and said, “Forget it. We should focus on taking her money, his life. Hurry.”
They helped me up, and Karen pointed my phone at me. After they unlocked my phone with facial recognition, they opened the banlang application and set the amount for the wire transfer. They prompted me to tell them my password.

“I can’t transfer so much at once. There are limits,” I said, trying to endure the pain and buying time. have to make separate transfer.”
I was lying to Kaden, who had no idea what the transfer limit for my bank account was
Besides, Kaden wasn’t wealthy, so he wouldn’t be familiar with the transfer limits of accent like mine. To no surprise, he changed the transfer amount to 50 thousand dollars. He repeated the process of transferring the money.
“Send me some, too,” Royer said in envy
The duo began to focus entransfering the funds. They would occasionally accidentally lock the screen and then get me to unlock the phone again. Every second that they wasted felt like hope to me
I stared intently at the entrance of the container ty heart was pounding, and Ixilently unused an
Fame Down
The last phone call from him was my only hope. Kaden was out of his mind; even if he got the money, he would probably still harm me
Suddenly, Theard Ashley’s voice from outside.
“Ivory?hory?” she spoke softly, and it seemed intentional
“I’m over here!”
that moment of grasping hope, I responded as loudly as possible. Kaden and Royce were surprised by the sudden situation. They hurriedly covered my mouth.
The footsteps outside gradually got closer and stopped just outside the door. I teared up, hoping that somebody would kick the door open in the next second.
But to my surprise, the footsteps paused for a moment before uning off, I could hear Ashley speak trom a distance.
“Mr. Payne, Dr. Ivan, there’s nobody here.”
Ifrom in slick, What the hell was Ashley saying?

I wanted to speak, but my mouth was covered light. It was hard to breathe, let alone try to make a sound.

Suddenly, a sharp ringtone went off. Panicking, Kaden took his phone out of his pocket and hung up the call.
He cursed, “Fock!”
Seizing the opportunity, I screamed, “Rowan!”
Royce angrily slapped me. I couldn’t hold out any longer, and my lips felt like they were tearing apart.
Just as the two were about to silence me with a cloth, a loud crash came from the entrance of the container.
The lock had been destroyed; Rowan had kicked the door open and paused for a moment by the entrance. When he saw me, he became furious.
He rushed inside with the steel pipe he had used to break the locks. Meanwhile, Kaden had tumed pale from fear.
Before Kaden could hold me hostage, Rowan beat him down with the steel pipe.
Ivan came in after Rowan. When he saw the state that I was in, anger crept into his usually emotionless face.
Ivan grabbed Royce by his collar with one hand and took his glasses off with another. After putting his glasses away, Ivan landed a hard punch on Royce.
Ashley screamed at the bloody scene. She desperately backed away, seemingly afraid of getting blood on her clothes.
Jasper and Chester arrived, too. They were both dumbfounded by the situation.
Ashley ran to hide behind Jasper and grabbed him by the shirt. She was frightened and looked pitiful.
Chester was more tactful. He turned to the men who had come with him and ordered, “Get them!”
Over a dozen men rushed inside, taking over from Rowan and Ivan to continue beating Raden and Royce up
Rowan untied me from the chair. I wanted to thank him, but my head ached so much that I passed out as I tried to speak.
I don’t know what happened after, but I woke up in a hospital bed. I looked up and realized I had been put on an IV drip.
Natalie sat by my bed with teary eyes. When she saw that I had woken up, she began to bawl while holding my hand. “I’m so sorry, Ivy, Kaden took revenge on you because of me. I’m sorry…”
