Chapter 285 Playing With Fire

Kerr looked at Ashley feeling content with himself and in a good mood.

It could be seen from Ashley's eyes that she was calmer now and wasn't as frightened as she had been. Although her eyes were somewhat moist because she got scared by what had just happened.

Ashley was in her twenties and had a simple life. The only excitement that had had was when she occasionally went out with her friends. No matter how calm Ashley pretended to be now, it was very unsettling to encounter such a thing.

Anyone in her position would find it hard to accept this if it were to happen to them.

Andrew was beside himself with worry. He could imagine how terrified and lost Ashley must be feeling wherever she was. His heart ached when he thought about it.

It cut him deep;

the pain was suffocating.

"Don't touch her!"

Andrew roared. His heart shattered to a million pieces when he heard Ashley's voice.

Kerr raised his eyebrows in surprise and asked, "Did I hear you right? I could actually sense some panic from the ruthless President Lu."

Kerr was more satiric than surprised.

He glanced at Ashley and thought, 'It seems that you hold a special place in President Lu's heart. He's so worried about you. Wow, did I find a treasure?'

"Ha-ha!" he suddenly laughed out.

"President Lu, do you even know what love is? Could you love someone? Are you sure that she stays with you with all her heart? Or perhaps she follows you around just because she's trapped by you?"

He leered at Ashley and said, "Little beauty, you must be very uncomfortable with him. Right? He doesn't have any feelings for people, and he is cruel and merciless. He must have forced you. Am I right?"

Then he began to talk to himself, "Yes! He is so cruel and heartless. Even my wife and daughter couldn't escape from him. Does he deserve love? Is he qualified to say that he loves someone?"

Just starting to come back to herself, Ashley heard what Kerr had said.

"He's so cruel and heartless that he couldn't spare my wife and daughter."

Her face became even paler.

Kerr apprecia

o, it's okay, Mom." 'If you come with me, my old man will certainly break my leg when he comes back!'

"Andrew's lover has been kidnapped. I'm going there to see what I can do to help."

"Andrew has a lover now?" His mom always seemed to focus on different things.

"Yes! Mom, I'll explain it all to you when I get back. I have to go now."

He got up and immediately left the house.

His mom watched him leave and murmured discontentedly, "Really? That's it?"

Then she got out her cell phone and made a call.

In an abandoned factory on the outskirts of the city.

Kerr looked at Ashley and touched her face. "Look how tender your skin is. Look at your face, how beautiful it is. Andrew must be really fond of you. Otherwise, why would he be so worried about you? I'm right, aren't I? Huh?"

Ashley didn't speak and tried to ignore the hands on her face. They felt like two cold snakes on her fragile skin that would kill her in a second if she moved.

The conversation they had lingered in Ashley's mind.

'Was Andrew really that kind of a person?

No, he isn't. Andrew certainly wouldn't do any of that. This man must be lying!'

Kerr realized what Ashley was thinking and he asked, "Do you know who I am?

You probably wouldn't know even if I told you. But I still want to tell you. What can you do? Nothing. But listen quietly." Kerr made the decision for her.
