Chapter 1326 Silencing In Public
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
At this moment, Dawn was driving Cheyenne, who was sleeping in the passenger seat, to a large mansion in the suburbs of DC.
Under the effects of the drug, Cheyenne had been sleeping all this time. After Dawn dragged her out of the car, she remained unconscious until Dawn poured a basin of icy cold water on her face.
Her thick and lush eyelashes trembled as she slowly opened her eyes, only to find that she was in a strange place. She was even sitting on the floor with water stains all over her face.
Cheyenne was startled and looked around in panic. When she saw Dawn standing nearby, she immediately walked over to her as if she had found a family member and asked nervously, “Dawn, why… why are we here?”
Dawn sneered viciously, “Bitch, who are you to act close to me? You're just a useless woman who's nothing but a pretty face. The sight of you utterly disgusts me!”
Boom!
Like a bolt from the blue, what Dawn said stunned Cheyenne.
She never thought that Dawn, who was so graceful and friendly toward her like a big sister, would say this with such a malicious expression!
Was… Dawn putting on a front earlier? But what exactly is her motive?
Apart from being shocked, Cheyenne sensed that something was amiss and quickly scanned her surroundings.
She and Dawn weren't the only ones in the large mansion. There were a few strange men standing at the door.
There was a man in his sixties standing in the middle and staring at her with hatred. Beside him were two martial artists clad in white long-sleeved shirts and white pants. They were obviously not to be trifled with.
These three people were Norman and the two top experts of the Hamiltons whom Jensen had lent him.
But Cheyenne didn't know who Norman was.
Cheyenne's heart sank, and she immediately realized that she had been kidnapped.
And the person who kidnapped her was naturally Dawn, whom she had thought that she had formed a good relationship with.
Cheyenne gritted her teeth, clenched her fists tightly, and asked, “Who are you people? Why did you bring me here? What's your goal?”
Norman sneered without saying anything.
The two bodyguards standing behind him remained still and silent like puppets.
Cheyenne looked at Dawn again with fury in her eyes. “Ms. Westwood, why are you doing this? Today is the first time we've met. I shouldn't have offended you before, right? Why are you doing this to me?”
“Shut up!” Dawn raised her arm and slapped Cheyenne hard on the face.
Smack!
With the crisp and clear sound of the slap, fingerprints appeared on Cheyenne's fair face.
“Just be good and don't move. If you ask me any more nonsense, don't blame me for being nasty!” Dawn looked at Cheyenne disdainfully.
She despised women like Cheyenne, whom she thought had achieved a high position in her company only by virtue of her good looks.
She thought that Cheyenne was pretty but brainless. She had merely put on a show and pretended to be a graceful, kind, older sister-like friend. Yet Cheyenne had stupidly believed her, drank the juice she offered, and got into her car. Now, even though she had fallen into the hands of someone else, Dawn thought that Cheyenne had brought it upon herself and that it had nothing to do with her.
Cheyenne held her burning face with immense regret in her heart. I'm so stupid!
It was her first time meeting Dawn today, and they had only had a brief conversation, yet she let her guard down completely and fell into Dawn's trap, eventually causing her to end up here.
If she had been more careful, didn't agree to go out alone with Dawn, turned down the fruit juice she offered, and didn't accept the car ride, she wouldn't have ended up in this terrible situation!
Unfortunately, it was too late for regrets now!
“Mr. Holmes, I've already completed the task you gave me. Can I leave now?” Dawn asked carefully.
She had finished her task, and Norman didn't tell her what the following plans were. She didn't intend to continue being involved.
It definitely wasn't something good. The less she knew, the safer she would be. Dawn had enough self-awareness to know this.
“Yes, you can leave now,” Norman said indifferently after glancing at Dawn.
Dawn secretly heaved a sigh of relief and turned around to walk out of the mansion.
But as soon as she took a couple of steps, she suddenly heard a loud, ear-piercing sound. At the same time, a bloody hole appeared in her chest, and blood spurted out of it.
“I… You…” Dawn widened her eyes in disbelief as she looked down at the bloody hole in her chest. Soon, all she could see was darkness, and her body fell to the floor limply.
Even at her very last waking moment, she still couldn't believe that she had died just like that.
“Ahhh!”
Cheyenne had witnessed everything unfold before her eyes. Seeing someone who was alive and well just a few seconds ago turning into a lifeless corpse lying motionlessly on the floor, she couldn't help screaming in horror.
Having lived for so many years, she had never seen a murder so directly. She was scared out of her wits.
Norman blew the smoking gun in front of his face and said indifferently, “Hah, since you already know about this, I can't let you live. Dawn Westwood, you've always claimed to be smart. Didn't you consider that this would happen? You're still too stupid after all.”
Jensen had said that he had to do a clean job and make sure that no one could find any traces.
And only the dead could keep a secret.
Dawn knew what had happened and had even participated in it. As long as Lucas did some digging, he would easily be able to find out who took Cheyenne away. How could Norman let Dawn leave in one piece and risk having Lucas find out where they were?
Norman would get rid of anything that left evidence against him!
Cheyenne was truly frightened. Seeing Norman kill someone without batting an eye and holding the gun that had killed someone moments ago, she began trembling uncontrollably.
“Please… let me off, okay? I don't know who you are and how I've offended you, but you probably aren't thinking of just killing me after going to such great lengths to bring me here, right? My… my husband is Lucas Gray, the chairman of the Stardust Corporation. He has a lot of money, and I can give you enough money for the ransom. Please just let me go!” Cheyenne said in a shaky voice, forcing herself to stay composed as she negotiated for her life.
Generally speaking, people kidnapped others for money.
But after Norman heard what she said, his eyes suddenly burned brightly with hatred.
“Hah, of course I know who your husband is. He's the reason you're in this plight now!”
With deep hatred in his eyes, Norman barked, “It's that damn Lucas Gray! He ruined my family and destroyed everything I painstakingly built. I must kill him, rip him into shreds, and make sure he dies horribly!”
