After the divorce female CEO - Season 1 Episode 18

Rena took a deep breath and forced herself to stay calm.

She said to Cecilia, “Please don’t come to me anymore. I’m not married, and I don’t know anything about weddings. Besides, we’re not really friends.”

Cecilia, however, was always spoiled growing up and had never

been refused.

So she kept pestering Rena, hell–bent on figuring out why the pretty lady didn’t like her.

Rena ignored her and walked into an alleyway, but Cecilia still

followed her.

Rena rubbed her aching temples, realizing that Cecilia wouldn’t leave her alone. With clenched fists, she turned around, fully intending to drive Cecilia away, but the next second, her eyes

went as wide as saucers.

A man crept up behind Cecilia and knocked her out from behind.

“It’s her! I’m sure this is Harold’s fiancee! Now we can ransom her off! Harold will definitely give us the money if we hold his fiancee hostage!”

“Wait, there’s another woman here. Get her! Don’t let her get away! Maybe she’s also valuable.”

Before Rena could scream, a sack was thrown over her head and she was dragged into the back of a van. Then one of the kidnappers smacked her on the back of her head, knocking her out instantly.

When Rena woke up, she found herself in an abandoned

warehouse.

She tried to move, but her arms and legs were tied to the broken

chair she was sitting on.

Cecilia was also tied up. She cried and spat and cursed loudly.

“Do you know who the hell I am? My brother won’t let you get away with this! Let me go!”

One of the kidnappers slapped her on the face because she was so noisy.

“Shut the fuck up! Or I’ll tear your clothes off!”

Horrified, Cecilia cried even louder.

Fortunately, the man didn’t really dare to touch her. The Fowler family was very powerful—especially Waylen, the best lawyer in the country.

Instead, he tossed a phone at Cecilia and said, “Call Harold and tell him to prepare twenty million dollars! And tell him to come alone, or else…”

Cecilia was frightened out of her wits.

She took the phone with trembling hands and called Harold in

tears.

Meanwhile, in the Fowler family’s mansion, the atmosphere was depressing.

Cecilia had been kidnapped, which scared Juliette out of her wits as she kept sobbing uncontrollably next to her husband Korbyn. Waylen, Korbyn, and Harold all wore grim expressions, waiting anxiously for the call.

Korbyn was seething with rage.

Those bastards kidnapped his daughter and it was all because of Harold. His future son–in–law better have an explanation for this! Around two hours later, they finally received the call from Cecilia. She was crying bitterly and could barely tell them her kidnapper’s requirements.

Harold comforted her gently.

His soothing voice finally calmed Cecilia down.

She knew that Harold loved her and would protect her at all costs.

Just as they were about to end the call, a woman’s trembling voice sounded in the background. “Hey, don’t touch me… I said,

don’t touch me!”

Harold’s hand, which was holding the phone, trembled all of a sudden. He knew whose voice that was.

It was Rena!

She had been kidnapped, too?

At the thought that those bastards might be touching her beautiful body, Harold’s eyes turned murderous./

But when he met Waylen’s intent gaze, he suddenly sobered up. Waylen was a shrewd man. Harold figured that if Waylen found out about his relationship with Rena, all his previous efforts to get close to Cecilia would be in vain!

Harold knew how cruel he himself was.

So he pretended not to know that it was Rena and said to the kidnapper, “I’ll bring the money. Don’t you dare do anything to my fiancee!”

After saying that, he hung up in a trance.

To Korbyn and Juliette, he said, “I’m so sorry, Mr. and Mrs. Fowler. Don’t worry. I swear I’ll bring Cecilia back safe and sound.”

Korbyn nodded in approval.

Without a moment to lose, Harold left the Fowler mansion to prepare the ransom.

Now, it was just Korbyn, Juliette, and Waylen left.

Juliette was a little relieved to see Harold leave to save her

daughter. She wiped her tears and said hesitantly, “I thought I heard Miss Gordon’s voice just now. Did you hear it, Waylen?”

To her surprise, Waylen was already heading out the door, car key in hand. “I’m going to find out.”
