"It's okay now, Dany. Mommy is here."
Ashley held Dany in her arms. She somehow felt relieved seeing her daughter safe.
"Wow! Such a heartwarming scene." Angelina, who was standing next to Ashley and Dany, clapped her hands in mockery.
Ashley looked at Angelina vigilantly.
She held Dany tighter and asked, "Angelina, what are you planning to do?"
"What am I planning to do? Nothing, really. I just want to be part of the Gu family again.
You know what? Everything was fine before. But since you've come, things have changed.
Ashley, you ruined everything!"
Ashley's eyes turned red with anger. "If you want to go back to the Gu family, go ahead. Why do you have to kidnap my daughter?"
"I can go back if I want to? Do you think it's that easy? Besides, you are here now. How can I go back to them? Do you think the Gu family will still accept me as their daughter?"
Angelina suddenly stepped forward and shook Ashley's shoulders.
"As long as you are here, there's nothing I can do. But if you're gone, the Gu family will surely take me back."
Angelina repeated those words over and over again. It was as if she was possessed by some demonic spirit.
Ashley didn't expect that Angelina would be so strong. She even felt dizzy when Angelina shook her. Nevertheless, Ashley didn't forget that Dany was in her arms. She held her even tighter.
After a while, Angelina returned to her normal self as if nothing happened.
But, she gave Ashley a weird look.
In her mind, she strongly believed that if she got rid of Ashley, the Gu family would take her back.
The weird smile on Angelina's face made Ashley feel uneasy.
Dany looked scared too.
"Mommy, I'm scared," she said as she buried her face in Ashle
Dany was just a little girl. How could Angelina have the heart to kill her?
"Are you trying to buy time?" Angelina asked with an arched brow.
"No. If I really want to buy time, it has already been a while. If I am expecting some people to rescue us, they should have arrived by now. I just want to ask you a few questions," said Ashley.
The three men looked at Ashley like hungry wolves, ready to swoop on their prey at any time. They then turned their gaze to Angelina, as if waiting for her to give an order.
Angelina seemed to have understood the look on their faces, so she said, "Wait. I want to hear her questions first."
Meanwhile, Andrew texted Ashley before he got out of the office, but she didn't reply.
He then called her several times, but he couldn't contact her.
'What is going on with her?' he thought to himself.
Andrew picked up his coat and strode out of his office.
"Sir, what's wrong?"
Johnny asked in confusion when he saw Andrew in such a hurry.
But Andrew didn't have time to answer Johnny's question. He just walked past Johnny quickly.
In just a short while, Andrew was already outside Ashley's office.
