My Ex-husband Begs Me Back novel Chapter 807

Chapter 807: Escaping

Ayan's face turned icy, but the coldness quickly dissipated in a matter of seconds.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, not intending to speak, but his mind was already searching for answers.

Austin, unable to get a response from him and seeing him standing still through the surveillance, asked, "Mr. Simpson, don't want to comply? Well, of course, you wouldn't compromise for a woman. Since Mr. Simpson is unwilling to do what I asked, then please leave."

Ayan stood there, unmoving. Naturally, he was aware that Austin was currently watching him from a room. With narrowed eyes, a cold glint flickered in his gaze as he spoke in a calm voice, "If you want me to play hide and seek with you, why create so much fuss? If you want Cora, you could simply come find me directly. By doing what you're doing now, do you think we can have a civilized conversation?"

Austin smirked provocatively, "Mr. Simpson, I also want to have a proper conversation, but Mr. Simpson is not willing to give me that chance. I have no other option. Since this method can make Mr. Simpson come to me willingly, I think it's not a bad idea. At least you can give me that opportunity, right? Mr. Simpson, you have nine minutes and twenty seconds left. Do you want to continue wasting it?" Austin taunted, "For the sake of fairness, let's stop the conversation for now. I'll be waiting to talk to Mr. Simpson face-to-face. Hurry up!"

With that, Austin hung up the phone.

Ayan tightly gripped his phone, his handsome face wrapped in coldness, concealing the restrained emotions he had been struggling to control.

He stood still for a moment, briefly lost in thought, before finally taking a step towards the direction on his left.

Watching Ayan's chosen path, Austin in front of the surveillance screen curled his lips into a smile. The people around him also noticed his expression and joined in the laughter. "Mr. Norman, Ayan won't be able to find us in ten minutes. He's definitely going to lose. Have you decided on how to punish him?"

Austin chuckled lightly and casually replied, "No rush, I'll decide when the time comes. With such a large area here, I don't believe Ayan can find us in a second. It's a sizable place, even if he drives around in circles, it would take at least half an hour. Besides, he's on foot. I want to see how capable he really is. He's good at hiding people, right? Now let him experience the challenge of finding someone."

Austin's dissatisfaction towards Ayan was brimming, and his hatred for Ayan ran deep. Ayan had made him lose face in both the Cora and Mr. and Mrs. Bell projects. Even after returning to Campole, he couldn't get rid of Ayan. Now that Ayan had come to Hance City, he was still using those matters to threaten and remind him. So, he decided to strike first.

For him, completely alienating Ayan was no different from the current situation.

After all, they could never be friends. Their relationship was destined to be one of confrontation.

With a cold snort, Austin lay back down. Ayan had already left the surveillance screen, and this place was too large. It was a temporary choice for Austin, so it wasn't feasible to install cameras in every single villa.

Therefore, no one knew that once Ayan had evaded the cameras, he immediately messaged his bodyguard, asking him to send the detailed layout of this place. It was found on the internal network of this hot spring villa, containing records of every building and the more discreet areas. It was easy to understand the layout and locate hidden places.

Ayan instructed his bodyguard to discreetly use a drone to scout Camille's hidden location. Meanwhile, he personally narrowed down Austin's whereabouts little by little.

At the same time, he ordered the surveillance to be blacked out, although the screen remained visible, showing Austin a static scene.

After completing this series of actions, Ayan received news from Kian.

The person had been controlled, and he was on his way with them to meet Ayan.

As Ayan continued to pinpoint Austin's location, he finally identified two possible places.

Both locations weren't far from his current position because Austin, despite having kidnapped Camille, would undoubtedly choose a place in the middle of them that allowed for quick escape in case of any unforeseen circumstances.

The other man immediately rejected the idea, "No way, Mr. Norman said we shouldn't do that. If Ayan finds out, he'll kill us."

"This is what Mr. Norman asked us to do. Once it's dark, who will know? Besides, do you think this woman would dare say anything? She wouldn't dare tell Ayan. After all, she wants to keep her position as the mistress of a wealthy family. She probably won't even have time to hide it, let alone tell anyone. If Ayan finds out, do you think he'll still want her? So, buddy, do you want to join me or not?"

The man's words resounded clearly in Ayan's ears, and each word fueled his growing anger.

His hands, hanging by his sides, clenched into tight fists. Fury and coldness flashed in his eyes, enough to make anyone tremble. If looks could kill, those two men would already be dead.

He stood motionless, his handsome face devoid of any expression, as if nothing had happened at all.

The two men continued to laugh in a sickening manner. His heart felt like ants gnawing at him, and the sky gradually darkened. She must be suffering more than him right now.

Ayan picked up his phone and sent a message, then casually picked up a stone from the ground and drew an arrow on a pillar.

After the two men finished speaking and left, he slowly followed suit, closing in on Austin's location. When Austin's men saw him, they froze.

One of them exclaimed, "Mr. Norman!!!"

Austin, who had his eyes closed, immediately opened them upon hearing the voice. A touch of stiffness crossed his face, and he responded coldly, "What the hell is all this noise about?"
