The woman’s words were laced with a hint of provocation.
It happened to be poking at Benjamin’s weak spot at the same time. In the case of being infertile,
women would feel like a failure, while men would feel ashamed as if being infertile meant they were
weak in bed too.
Benjamin’s expression darkened.
“I’m going to the toilet.” The woman stood up with a smile and sashayed away in her high heels, which
were clacking against the marble floor.
Boyce and one of his subordinates followed her from behind and laid in ambush outside the washroom.
When the woman came out, they covered her mouth and dragged her away.
They managed to avoid the crowd and get her into the car soon after.
“Who are you…oh, it’s you.” The woman chided lowly. She saw Boyce’s face before she finished
speaking, and she knew who he was. She knew he was on Matthew’s side.
The woman soon understood the situation and chuckled, “It’s useless to hold me captive. I don’t know
where Benjamin hid the kid either.”
She pushed the blame to Benjamin. All of it.
“I’m just a woman who knows nothing. You guys better release me.” After she knew their intention of
capturing her, she actually managed to calm down. After all, Joshua was in their hands. These people
would not dare to harm her.
Boyce ignored her and asked his man to drive faster.
A moment later, they arrived at an abandoned building. When the car came to a halt, they dragged the
woman out of it. As the road was uneven and filled with trash from the construction, it caused the
woman to stagger her steps a little. She looked up and glared at the man who dragged her, “Are you
looking for death?”
She was a feisty one.
Boyce blocked the woman’s line of sight and threatened her in a deep voice, “I’ll let you leave this place
safely if you tell us Joshua’s whereabouts now, otherwise…”
“I told you I know nothing.” She emphasized each word.
“Well, you’re of no value then if you know nothing.” Boyce gave his subordinate a look, “Bring her in.”
His subordinate held the woman’s arms tightly and pushed her into the building.
“Let me go! It’s illegal to arrest me without a warrant!” She screamed.
Boyce clasped her chin so hard that she could not make a sound, “Scream later. You have all the time
in the world to do that.”
The woman was quickly brought to the highest floor. She was then thrown to the ground.
Matthew and Abbott were already there, standing at the edge of the floor. When they heard voices
coming, they turned their heads back slowly to look at its source.
Boyce walked towards Matthew and told him everything he heard while he was spying on the woman,
“It’s mostly this woman’s doings of adding fuel to the fire.”
“That makes sense. He would just be looking for death if he decided to come at us now and cause
chaos after living in peace for decades, wouldn’t he? Sure enough, someone else was there to provoke
him.” Abbott snorted coldly.
Matthew glanced at the woman and asked in a low voice, “Where’s my son?”
The woman snorted in return, “I don’t know that, but I do know Benjamin will avenge me if any of you
hurt me today.”
She wasn’t afraid of them at all from the fact that she had someone important hostage.
Boyce squatted before her, “Benjamin only craves for your looks. What if I destroy this look he loves so
much?”
That made the woman’s eyes widen in an instant. She needed her looks and curves to grasp a man’s
heart. Without that, she would be nothing. Finally, there was a hint of fear in her eyes, “You! Don’t you
dare do that to me! Touch me once and I’ll do the same to that kid!”
Boyce narrowed his eyes at her, not daring to act rashly for the moment. As long as Joshua was in
hostage, it would always be their weakness. They can’t do anything as they pleased.
“What do you want? Money? Give us a figure.” Abbott came over and looked down at the woman,
“Benjamin is old, and there’s a limit to what he can give you. Isn’t money what you’re after? Just tell us
how much you want.”
The woman went into deep thoughts. She knew they had their concerns.
“You’re right. I want money. But I want something more too, can you give me that?” The woman
smirked, fixing her gaze on Matthew, who was standing not far away, “I can tell you where your son is
as long as you offer me something attractive enough.”
“What do you want?” Matthew’s expression was gloomy, laced with a trace of cruelty that was
unnoticeable.
The woman moved a little, “Untie the rope first. We can’t make a fair deal like this.”
Boyce and Abbott looked at Matthew. It was a look to ask for his opinion.
“There’s so many of you here. I couldn’t possibly escape, could I?” The woman sneered.
“Untie the rope,” Matthew ordered.
Boyce did what Matthew asked for and untied the woman. She stood up from the ground, patted the
dust on her dress before fixing her gaze on Matthew again. She was looking at him dreamily now.
Matthew was a tall man with a sturdy build and sharp features. He exuded a cold, yet dominating aura,
which others could strongly feel even if he was just standing around casually.
He was a man who could make women go crazy over him.
In her heels, she sashayed towards Matthew and finally stood in front of him, “Benjamin promised to
appoint me as the CEO of WY Group after he gets the company. He offered me wealth and power.
What can you offer me to make me turn my back on him?”
The woman was looking at Matthew up and down openly.
It was the kind of gaze Matthew hated most.
“Actually, I don’t really need those things.” As she said, she put her hand on Matthew’s shoulder and
whispered into his ear, “What about you spend the night with me? I’ll tell you where your son is
afterwards.”
