Under the Heiress' Facade novel Chapter 1046

After all, it was such a dangerous matter. Gideon didn't want Dora to be involved. Otherwise, if Bernard found out about it, Gideon would be doomed.

"No! I want to go with you!" Dora shook her head. "Eli was taken away when he was with me. They were going after me. I want to go with you! Besides, Garret told me to bring him the money to save Eli. I must go!"

As Dora was adamant and her words made sense, Gideon had no choice but to agree. "Alright then, but you have to listen to me! You should know your limits!"

Dora nodded in response.

…

Meanwhile, in a rundown house in the suburbs, Garret sat on a wooden chair while playing with a dagger. He was waiting for Dora to bring the money. The sky had already darkened, and there were flies flying around the dim lights.

Eli was tied up with a rope like a caterpillar thrown in the corner. He was awake, but his mouth was stuffed with a cloth. He couldn't break free and could only glare at the thugs. Thankfully, he didn't see Amelia here.

"Garret, do you think that girl will come?" Joseph watched the time pass and asked worriedly. He thought that threatening a girl for money wasn't very safe.

"That girl seems to care a lot about him. She should come," responded Garret.

"But if she tells her parents…" Joseph stopped speaking. After all, Dora's parents were Bernard and Dr. Shadow. They couldn't be offended.

"Hey, do you think that girl will come?" Garret asked Eli.

One of the men took out the cloth stuffed in Eli's mouth. Eli immediately spat and said viciously, "You can kill me if you're bold enough!"

He didn't believe that someone would risk their life to save him, let alone Dora. She was wealthy, so why would her parents let her take the risk? It would already be great if her parents didn't look for him to ask for compensation!

It would be better if a person like him, who didn't have a father and was a burden to his mother, was dead. If he died, Amelia wouldn't need to work three jobs every day to pay his school fees. She even had stomach issues but didn't want to treat her illness.

If he died, Amelia would no longer need to plead with Titus or worry about him. Once he died, no one in school would mock him for being an illegitimate child. It was just that he was upset that he hadn't earned money for Amelia to spend. He didn't know who his father was either…
