Divorce Anxiety novel Chapter 336

Chapter 336 The Grim Reveal

Sometime after arriving at Florinia Manor, Gizem sat in her room with her phone in hand.

She hesitated briefly before phoning Theodore.

This time, he answered the call without any complaints.

“Master…” Gizem took a while to ask, “How are things on your end?”

“So you’ve heard?” Theodore’s morose voice answered with a question of his own.

“Yeah,” replied a nodding Gizem. “Do you need me to return?”

“Dearest Gizem, it’s indeed time for you to repay my past kindness to you.” There was a hidden meaning behind Theodore’s tone. “Do you know why I sent you to Jadeborough?”

“You have a mission for me.”

“Indeed.” Theodore’s tone took on a blade-like sharpness. “I’m going to tell you what your mission is now.”

“All right.” Gizem nodded.

“I want you to kidnap Samuel’s daughter. Bring her here.”

W-What? That was not what Gizem expected. “But why, Master?”

“Why are you asking so many questions? Don’t forget who rescued you when you were unconscious back then. If it weren’t for me, you would’ve suffered plenty more disfigurement than the one on your face.”

Gizem tensed. “That’s true. But Master, why would you abduct Samuel’s daughter if Samuel’s the one you’re after?”

A bone-chilling chuckle came from the phone. “Do as I command. Or, are you not planning to obey me?”

An apathetic look shrouded Gizem’s face. “That’s not what I meant.”

“I expect a lot from you, Gizem. As long as you bring Samuel’s daughter over, I’ll make you Axeworth Corporation’s successor.”

Gizem frowned as she did not care about achieving such a thing.

“You’d better get moving.” Theodore’s tone bore a heavy weight.

Lips pursing for a moment, Gizem eventually replied, “Okay. I got it.”

Following that, Theodore hung up the phone.

Gizem continued to frown deeply even after.

So that was his plan—for me to kidnap Desi. But she’s merely a girl with heart disease. Why would he go after her? That’s too odd.

Deep down, Gizem knew she could never make a move against Desi.

What do I do? Even Samuel keeps hounding me for answers. It feels like the world is drowning me in all sorts of problems.

“Ugh…” An ache started invading Gizem’s temples.

Suddenly, a fragmented vision flashed in her mind.

Those fragments seemed to be her past memories.

It was a pity, though, since she could not recall anything despite having that vision.

As I guessed, I probably shouldn’t overwork my brain.

With that thought, Gizem lay down to nap for a bit.

Her slumber lasted until half past eight in the evening.

Only then did she awake and notice what time it was.

Her eyes grew wide in shock. Gosh! How did I sleep for this long? Although, my head doesn’t hurt anymore, so that’s good.

She then got off the bed and headed outside.

Florinia Manor seemed exceedingly quiet at that hour.

Usually, Samuel would be spending time with Eil and Desi in the living room at this time of day.

Why is it so quiet today? Gizem could not help questioning the unusual silence.

“Gizem!” Freya’s voice suddenly sounded from behind her.

At once, Gizem turned around, her brows tightly knitting together. “Freya?”

A vicious smirk curved across Freya’s face in response.

Surprisingly, Gizem managed to dodge Freya’s knife.

The latter was skilled in combat arts and was one of the top three fighters within the organization.

Gizem was not too shabby either, but she still paled in comparison.

Freya was so confident that she did not even take Gizem seriously.

In her eyes, Gizem was merely a brainiac who knew how to earn money but had poor body strength.

As the fight went on, a grin broke out on Freya’s face each time she forced Gizem to retreat.

“Is that it? You’re too weak, Gizem!” Freya sneered.

Not a trace of emotion showed on Gizem’s face. “There’s no telling who will win just yet!”

“It will obviously be me!” Freya cockily added, “That’s enough toying around with you. I’m going to end your life now, then kidnap Desi. Here is where we bid farewell, you, so-called genius pharmaceutical scientist! Even though I’ll miss the money your drugs will generate, you leave me with no choice but this!”

With that, she charged at Gizem with full force.

A murderous gleam appeared in Gizem’s dark eyes.

She patiently waited for Freya to close in before raising her dainty gun.

Bang!

A bullet pierced the spot between Freya’s brows.

Subsequently, a fearful expression marred Freya’s face as her body fell next to Gizem.

Only then did Gizem put down her gun.

“I know I can’t beat you in a fight. Even so, you’re still nothing but a human. How can you defend yourself against a bullet?” Gizem heaved a deep sigh of relief while preparing to leave.

Thud!

Someone hit her head from behind just then, instantly knocking her out.

She did not completely lose consciousness, so she managed to catch a glimpse of a dark figure dragging Freya’s body away.
