Chapter 70
The assistant looked nervously at his expression. After a long silence, he finally spoke hesitantly, “It … it was the Kidman Family. They didn’t send a message, but the conditions are already listed on the dark web, 560 million. Not a cent less. Mr. Aiken, did you ever offend the Kidman Family?“}
His other subordinate chimed in, “Right, someone sent me an email just before I came in. Just one sentence: You hurt Miss Monroe, this is the price.”
At that, Clayton suddenly looked up, he asked, “So it really was Sienna? She couldn’t get pregnant herself and now she’s taking it out on Angelina? She’s beyond redemption!”
He roared, “Drive! I’m not waiting another minute. Didn’t she want me to marry her? Didn’t she want this wedding? I’ll go expose her true face in public, let’s see how she shows herself after that!“}
The assistant wiped sweat from his forehead and tried to persuade him, “Mr. Aiken, we can’t afford to offend the Kidman Family. Shouldn’t we call the police instead? Miss Monroe isn’t unreasonable. Maybe it’s a misunderstanding. Clear it up and it’ll be fine. After all, you’re going to be family, you don’t want things to get this ugly.“}
Just as he finished, Clayton raised his hand and slapped the assistant hard and yelled, “Are you out of your mind? This is the dark web! A lawless zone! You think the police will help? If they could, Angelina wouldn’t have been taken!“}]
He added, “The last person who got listed on the dark web also called the cops and ended up dead. They never even found the body! You trying to get Angelina killed?“}
He yelled in frustration, “Get lost! Don’t annoy me right now. I’ll go deal with Sienna myself. I don’t believe the Kidman Family would actually side with a bitch like her. What value could she possibly have for them?” With that, Clayton stormed out and got into the car.
The Maybach had just pulled up to the hotel entrance when it was stopped by security. The security asked, “Invitation, please? This is Miss Monroe’s wedding today. We need to see your invitation.“}
Clayton laughed in disbelief, “You don’t recognize me? I’m the groom today! Go tell Sienna, wasn’t she forcing me to attend the wedding? Well, I’m here! Tell her to get out here. I’ve got something to say!“}
The security guard looked at him like he was crazy.”
Clayton nearly exploded but held back his fury. After that, the guard turned to fetch Sienna.
He took several deep breaths, imagined how he’d humiliate Sienna in front of everyone and force her to bow down. But just then, a few guests walked past him.”
They showed their invitations and entered the hotel directly. He didn’t recognize them, they definitely not Monroe Family relatives. And he had never invited them himself. Why were they attending the wedding?}
Countless doubts flashed through his mind.”
The next second, those guests said, “Didn’t the Kidman Family’s young heir always live abroad? We thought he’d never come back. Why did he suddenly return to the country?”
Another person chimed in, “Exactly! I heard Old Dean is overjoyed. The young heir came back and immediately decided to marry. The Kidman Family threw this wedding together overnight, everything is top of the line. Quite the eye–opener.”
“With a family background like the Kidman’s, shouldn’t they have checked who their daughter–in–law is? Old Dean agreed just like that?” someone asked.
Other person said, “Don’t be silly! Of course Old Dean asked! But Alastair shut him down with one sentence, he said if the wedding didn’t happen, he’d never return again and the entire Kidman Family fortune should be donated away. Let whoever wants to inherit it take it. With that kind of talk, you think his father dared to say no?”
