"It's okay now, Dany. Mommy is here."
Ashley held Dany in her arms. She somehow felt relieved seeing her daughter safe.
"Wow! Such a heartwarming scene." Angelina, who was standing next to Ashley and Dany, clapped her
hands in mockery.
Ashley looked at Angelina vigilantly.
She held Dany tighter and asked, "Angelina, what are you planning to do?"
"What am I planning to do? Nothing, really. I just want to be part of the Gu family again.
You know what? Everything was fine before. But since you've come, things have changed.
Ashley, you ruined everything!"
Ashley's eyes turned red with anger. "If you want to go back to the Gu family, go ahead. Why do you
have to kidnap my daughter?"
"I can go back if I want to? Do you think it's that easy? Besides, you are here now. How can I go back
to them? Do you think the Gu family will still accept me as their daughter?"
Angelina suddenly stepped forward and shook Ashley's shoulders.
"As long as you are here, there's nothing I can do. But if you're gone, the Gu family will surely take me
back."
Angelina repeated those words over and over again. It was as if she was possessed by some demonic
spirit.
Ashley didn't expect that Angelina would be so strong. She even felt dizzy when Angelina shook her.
Nevertheless, Ashley didn't forget that Dany was in her arms. She held her even tighter.
After a while, Angelina returned to her normal self as if nothing happened.
But, she gave Ashley a weird look.
In her mind, she strongly believed that if she got rid of Ashley, the Gu family would take her back.
The weird smile on Angelina's face made Ashley feel uneasy.
Dany looked scared too.
"Mommy, I'm scared," she said as she buried her face in Ashley's shoulder.
"It's okay, baby. Mommy is here. Don't be afraid." Ashley tried her best to soothe Dany.
'Where are her bodyguards?' she wondered inwardly.
Ashley knew that some bodyguards had been following Dany for a few days now. That was the reason
why she didn't act rashly every time she went to see Dany.
She was afraid that the bodyguards would tell Cayn about her, and he would hide Dany from her
forever.
But each time Ashley saw that Dany was doing well at school, she felt relieved. The bodyguards helped
keep her safe.
Now, she couldn't help wondering how Angelina was able to take Dany away.
Ashley looked at Angelina and asked, "Can I ask you something?"
"What is it?" Angelina looked happy now. She wasn't acting as crazy as she was earlier.
However, it worried Ashley more.
Perhaps this was just the calm before the storm.
"How were you able to take Dany away?" Ashley asked
Angelina replied, "After having several bodyguards around her?"
"Yes."
"Well, those bodyguards are a bunch of idiots."
As a matter of fact, Angelina had been investigating Ashley's background since the first time she saw
her.
She didn't expect that she would discover something shocking.
Ashley had a daughter who turned out to be Dany.
At first, Angelina had planned to kidnap Fabio. But the little boy resembled Andrew a lot.
She didn't know why she thought of Andrew when she saw Fabio.
And since she found out that Dany was Ashley's daughter, she kidnapped her instead.
As for Dany's bodyguards, "Their job is to protect Dany. So, I did something to make them think that
someone would steal her. Piece of cake, isn't it?"
Angelina added, "Is there anything else you want to ask me?" She gave Ashley a complacent look.
Ashley didn't say anything.
After a while, Angelina clapped her hands.
Then three tall ugly men came out of nowhere. Their disgusting smell reached Ashley's nostrils.
Angelina looked at the men with satisfaction. She then turned to Ashley and asked, "Do you like these
men? I have carefully chosen them for you. Don't worry. They are all very good."
Although Ashley felt scared, she pretended to be brave. "Angelina, are you not afraid of the
consequences?"
"Afraid? I don't think so. After you disappear, I will destroy all the evidence. No one will know what I did.
And don't worry about your daughter.
Rest assured that you will always be together from this day on. Ha-ha!"
Angelina laughed maniacally.
The reason why she took Dany was to get Ashley.
And since her plan succeeded, Ashley and Dany could now die together.
Angelina thought that Ashley must actually thank her. Currently, Ashley couldn't be together with Dany.
But after she killed them, they could be together in the afterlife.
"Wait!"
Ashley looked at the men with disgust.
She didn't expect Angelina to have such an insidious plan. Dany was just a little girl. How could
Angelina have the heart to kill her?
"Are you trying to buy time?" Angelina asked with an arched brow.
"No. If I really want to buy time, it has already been a while. If I am expecting some people to rescue
us, they should have arrived by now. I just want to ask you a few questions," said Ashley.
The three men looked at Ashley like hungry wolves, ready to swoop on their prey at any time. They
then turned their gaze to Angelina, as if waiting for her to give an order.
Angelina seemed to have understood the look on their faces, so she said, "Wait. I want to hear her
questions first."
Meanwhile, Andrew texted Ashley before he got out of the office, but she didn't reply.
He then called her several times, but he couldn't contact her.
'What is going on with her?' he thought to himself.
Andrew picked up his coat and strode out of his office.
"Sir, what's wrong?"
Johnny asked in confusion when he saw Andrew in such a hurry.
But Andrew didn't have time to answer Johnny's question. He just walked past Johnny quickly.
In just a short while, Andrew was already outside Ashley's office.
