Chapter 544

"I'm not that stupid." Cedrick's lips curled into a cold sneer. "This whole thing is plotted against me, not her. They

want to use her to make me give up on everything I have, do they? Let's see if they have what it takes."

Charles was shocked at first, but he soon realized what he meant. " You're trying to buy more time?"

"Record a short video of me, and if the kidnapper calls again, just tell him that I'm summing up my assets. The rest

will follow me into the forest."

"Master Cedrick, let me do that!" volunteered Alex.

He had been given the cold shoulder for the past few days, and he had to help, seeing as Catelyn was caught in a

dangerous predicament.

Cedrick glanced emotionlessly at him. "If I need you to rescue my woman, what kind of a man would I be?"

"But it's dangerous, and we don't know who the kidnappers are!" Alex's face flushed with frustration as he tried to

convince Cedrick.

"Please let me make up for the mistake I made. I'll bring Miss Clark back!"

"Don't worry. It's a big area, so you'll have the chance to redeem yourself."

Soon, Cedrick commanded the team to spread out and entered the forest in small groups. He reminded every

person that they were to not alert the kidnappers and were to inform the others as soon as

they found Catelyn.

Two hours had passed, and the two kidnappers were still playing poker outside the door. One of them kept losing

and started arguing with the other.

Catelyn seized the opportunity and untied the rope around her heels and jumped out of the window. Because she

had been kicked in the knee by Scarface earlier, however, she felt as though her bones were dislocated when she

landed on the group.

The pain was insufferable, but she refused to even stop for a second.

She took a deep breath and darted outside.

Though the two kidnappers were arguing, they were also paying attention to the situation inside the hut.

"What? You seemed happy enough when you were winning, and now that you've lost, you don't want to pay up?"

The other pointed at Catelyn and shouted, "Sh*t, this is your fault! Stop talking! That woman's escaped! We need to

go after her!"

Catelyn heard them cursing behind her. Not daring to look back, she forced herself to sprint as fast as she could,

dragging her injured right leg along.

It had just rained, and the area was covered in trees. The roads were uneven with small pools of water everywhere.

She darted into a narrow trail, stumbling, wishing that she could be invisible to the others.

The trees and leaves scratched her skin as she ran, and her arms and face felt numb in the aftermath.

"Stop right there, you b*tch!"

She froze for a second as she listened to the approaching sound of footsteps.

If they caught her, it was very likely that her chance to survive would be little to none!

She could not afford to gamble.

As their shouts sounded closer and closer, she found herself on the edge of a cliff and flushed anxiously.

She turned and discovered a stone wall not far away, and there was a pile of hay next to it.

Though the hay was filthy and muddy from the rain, she gritted her teeth and flipped past the wall regardless and

darted into the hay regardless.

According to the time she had estimated, the kidnappers should be here any minute, so she held her breath

nervously. She knew that hiding here was not the best choice she had, but there were no other options.

Just then, a hand reached around her neck and covered her face abruptly, sealing her mouth tightly so that she

could not even gasp.

Startled, her mind went blank and she moved to jab her elbow against the chest of the man behind her when all of

a sudden...she heard that familiar husky voice.

"It's me. Don't move."

The scent of his favorite cologne enveloped her as her heart raced.
