253 Chapter 253: Holding against her will

Genius 253: 

Evan's hand dropped on the bed with a thud, his lips parted while confusion took over his features. 

His head shook slowly, a faint emotionless chuckled sounded from his lips. It was too impossible, Daniella and Jared can't be marrying each other. 

It was just a few hours ago, it was impossible unless... While he was in deep thinking, his body stiffened. 

"Unless she was being forced to marry him in exchange for me," he mumbled those words talking to himself. His face hardened staring at the ceiling. 

He gulped hard, how could this happened. He was certain that Daniella wouldn't agree with such a condition. 

"Get the queen. Ask her who Jared family is. Bring them to me especially the sister," he said to Ken without throwing him a glance. He didn't want to use other people to solve the issue but seemed like he didn't have any other choice, just like Daniella. 

"I think we should wait until Daniella arrives," Glen said convincing Evan to not do anything without getting the real story from Daniella. 

"Why not?" Ken entered their conversation, "I will get that girl and make sure that she suffers," his hands clenched tightly with anger. If Jared was using Evan to get Daniella to marry him, he will make sure that his sister wouldn't survive a night. 

"I have a picture of his father and his name. It won't take long before I get their location," saying that, Ken stared at the phone in his hand with the photo of Jared when he was small together with his father. 

His eyes squinted, he was certain that he had seen this man before, but he just couldn't point out where. 

"let me see," Evan asked. 

When Ken showed the screen of his phone to him, Evan's eyes narrowed. 

"I have seen that man," his heart pounded by that thought. He couldn't be mistaken, that man was in one of Daniella's memory from when she visited Amy's office. 

Evan's eyes looked at a different direction while his mind tried to stitch up the situation. After a long moment of silence, his eyes stared at Glen. 

"Novie McSalter. That is Amy's assistant. That is Jared's sister," his lips formed a smile upon thinking that, then he looked at Ken, "call Bing and verify the background of Novie McSalter. We need to make sure that is it her. Once you confirm that it is them, take and hide them." 

Evan sighed and shut his eyes once again, "Glen," he called out his friends name with close eyes, "make sure my family won't know about this. Tell them I won't be back for some time." 

Glen nodded, "alright, anyway I spoke to the police and saw the evidence. Everything is pointing out to you, Jared had asked his people to not touch you but they can't let you go since you are a suspect." 

Evan understood it but he surely didn't need Jared's protection. He can take the beating for as long as Daniella wouldn't marry him. 

While Glen was busy explaining the plan, Evan's mind was somewhere else. Drifted in the place with nothing but confusion and unanswered question. 

-- 

Robert parked the car to where the tracking led them. Scott was with him while Peyton accompanied Patrick to protect the princess from Jared people. 

The tracking brought them to a private beach. Robert came out of the car with guns in the holster hanging in his waist while Scott was carrying a machine gun. 

"Don't you think that is too much?" he asked staring at the machine gun he was hugging. 

Scott shrugged a shoulder in response, "I can shoot a lot of people without wasting too much energy." 

"Who said we are killing people?" Robert shook his head in disbelief, then he walked towards the gate while Scott followed him. 

He pressed the doorbell and after it rang twice, an old woman answered it. 

"Who is this?" the voice of an old woman spoke over the intercom. 

Leaning closer to the microphone intercom, Robert said, "can we speak to Jared? Tell him we are here for Daniella Chen." 

Silence came, Robert even thought that the old woman ignored them. 

"Ms Daniella is inside. You can come in." 

Shock registered on Robert and Scott face upon hearing it. Then the gate was opened by two young women wearing a grey uniform and led them to the entrance. 

Robert gulped hard, the maids were not even scared that they were loaded and Scott was holding a machine gun. 

He looked around, from the outside, one would know that it was owned by rich people. The design and colour were so perfectly matched. 

Reaching the mahogany door, the maids opened the door. Scott and Robert entered it definitely not expecting this treatment. 

Scott leaned closer to Robert, "this is scaring me. I would honestly prepare to get bullets welcoming us than maids." 

Robert felt the same. Everything seemed so easy. His eyes narrowed with suspicion. When the maid closed the door behind, Robert and Scott stared at the stairs ahead of them. 

Their jaw almost dropped when they saw Daniella wearing a sleeveless floral dress and high heels. Her hair colour was mixed white and red and some strands were even pink while the nerves in her arms and legs had swollen and looked purple. 

Scott's lips parted, they had never seen Daniella in this state before. 

"What happened to you?" Scott and Robert asked at the same time. 

Daniella stopped when she reached them. Her eyes were focused on them. 

"I am glad you two have arrived," her voice was low and emotionless. If it was before, Daniella would surely punch them for arriving too late. But the version of her standing in front of them right now was different. 

Not only her look but the way her eyes shone. 

They were green, which meant that she was happy but why were they shinning with sadness. 

"What is happening Daniella?" Robert asked in fear. They were in the enemy territory, and he was scared of what could happen. 

Daniella gave him a smile, an empty one. 

"Get Jenna, Irene and Claire here. In the next days, I am getting married to Jared." 

Then she turned around without bothering to explain what was happening, so Robert seized her wrist tightly. 

"What about Evan?" 

Daniela flickered her eyelashes once and pulled her wrist, "I will explain the situation to him later. You and Scott can rest here. This is my future husband's house. This is a safe place."
