A Threat
“What’s wrong, Ms. Moore?” Sasha asked after seeing the drastic change in Arielle’s expression.
“Everything’s fine!” Arielle then turned around and walked away while signaling Sasha to stay put.
Although Sasha did as she was told and stood still, her eyes were fixated on Arielle. After all, she was
Arielle’s bodyguard, and it was her duty to protect Arielle.
Not only must Sasha obey Arielle’s command, but she must also take care of the latter’s safety.
“Who are you? Where are my parents?” Arielle asked solemnly as she tightened her grip on the phone.
It turned out that the caller was not Andrea but a stranger.
“Relax. They’re safe for now,” the man on the other end of the line said. He smirked as he took a glance
at the Wilhelms, whose hands had been tied up by his subordinates.
Arielle knitted her brows when she heard his familiar voice. Why do I feel like I’ve heard his voice before?
“Mmm… Mmm…”
The Wilhelms wanted to caution Arielle to stay away but could not utter a single word as their mouths
were stuffed with rags.
The muffled sounds from the other end of the phone disrupted Arielle’s train of thought.
Her heart skipped a beat. “What do you want? Don’t you dare lay your fingers on them. Come at me if
you dare!”
Arielle tried to remain as composed as possible, even though she was deeply worried about the
Wilhelms.
In fact, she had avoided contacting them for years because she was afraid she might get them into
trouble.
Still, her greatest fear had become a reality.
Meanwhile, over at Lightspring, the man sat by the window and smirked.
He threatened, “If you don’t want us to harm your parents, come over on your own right now. Don’t say I
didn’t warn you. They might get in trouble if you tell Vinson or anyone else about it.”
The moment he found out how important the Wilhelms were to Arielle, he rushed over to Lightspring and
got hold of the couple. He knew he would be able to control Arielle once the Wilhelms were in his hands.
Arielle tightened her grip on the phone upon hearing the threat.
How did he find out about my relationship with Vinson? Who is he? And how did he manage to get hold
of my parents?
“I won’t tell anyone. Don’t you dare lay a finger on them, I’m warning you. I’ll hold you responsible if
anything bad happens to them,” Arielle warned coldly.
Since he did such a thorough background check on me, he should know that I’m a vengeful person.
“I won’t touch them as long as you come alone,” the man promised. After a short pause, he continued,
“You’d better come and meet me within the next two days, or I will not be responsible for anything bad
that happens after that.”
“I’ll be there, don’t worry. Take good care of my parents and my brother.” Arielle gritted her teeth as she
emphasized her words.
Naturally, the man agreed to her condition.
Arielle ended the call with a grim look and recollected herself. After passing her phone to Sasha, she
went back to the set and continued to shoot the last scene.
How she wished she could rush to Lightspring right then, but she was afraid that Vinson might find out
about it.
Since the man had threatened to kill her parents if Vinson or anyone else knew about it, she could not
tell anyone and risk putting her parents’ lives in danger.
“Are you sure you’re okay to continue with the shoot today?” Arielle asked Jason as she did not want to
waste any more time. The bloopers Jason made were too much for Arielle to handle.
