Chapter 143: Elaine Gets Kidnapped

It was supposed to be a very good day, but as the end of the workday approached, Beta received a message from her subordinate: "Master Wesley rejected Miss Bella's further advances because of Elaine. Elaine's husband has arrived in New York, and Master Wesley seems to want to reconcile with Elaine." Beta frowned. Her guess was correct; this child was definitely going to affect Wesley. But what about Elaine's husband? How did he suddenly appear? Beta replied to her subordinate: "Today, gather information about her husband, and make sure it's accurate. Also, proceed with the plan we arranged earlier tomorrow morning." After sending the message, Beta sighed deeply and slumped in her chair, about to massage her head when Si Yanfang suddenly appeared behind her. His large hand pressed on her temple, and Beta's eyebrows relaxed. "What's wrong? Facing some difficult situation? Tell me, I'll help you figure it out," Si Yanfang asked gently. Beta shook her head and looked at Si Yanfang. After a while, she asked, "How's your relationship with Elaine? What do you think of her?" Si Yanfang thought for a moment and replied, "She's gentle and kind. We haven't known each other for long, but she's a friend of my brother's and has been taking care of me since I arrived here." "And regarding my pursuit of you, she's very supportive." Beta suddenly sat up straight. "Does she know about our relationship?" Si Yanfang didn't expect Beta's reaction to be so strong. He replied truthfully, "I told her that I'm pursuing you, and she's very supportive." Beta felt uncomfortable. She had been trying everything to break up Elaine and Wesley. She had just given the order to forcibly take Elaine to get an abortion, yet Elaine was still supporting her love. Beta felt a pang of guilt. This feeling continued until bedtime. Thinking about the future of the Howard family, Beta made a firm decision. She couldn't let anyone threaten the future of the Howard family. Early the next morning, Elaine went to the studio as usual to pick up new fabric. The distance from Katrina's house to the shop was only three kilometers, and Elaine left early. At this time, most people hadn't gone to work yet, so there weren't many people on the road. As she approached the shop, a car stopped next to Elaine. "Are you Elaine?" the driver asked as he rolled down the window. Elaine looked at the man's face, which seemed a bit fierce, and felt a bit cautious. "I think you might have mistaken me for someone else." The man took out a photo and glanced at Elaine, then said to the person in the back seat, "It's her, get out of the car." With the man's command, two tall, strong men in black immediately got out of the car and walked straight towards Elaine. Suddenly, Elaine remembered what Beta had said that day and had a bad feeling. "We don't want to hurt you. Please get in the car. Our boss wants to see you," one of the men said. Elaine kept backing away. "Who is your boss? Let him come and see me himself." "Miss, you'll find out once you get in the car. It's best if you cooperate with us. Otherwise, we'll have to use force," the man said again. The two men slowly approached until Elaine's back was against the wall. She had no way out. "If we have to use force, you won't be able to escape," the other man who hadn't spoken yet added. Elaine gritted her teeth. "Tell me first, where are you taking me? I'll get in the car right away." The two men looked at each other and then, according to Beta's earlier arrangement, said to Elaine, "It's someone from the Howard family." Elaine nodded. As she expected, Wesley was really that heartless. Following the two men into the car, Elaine kept looking out the window. "Where are you taking me? Since I can't escape anyway, you might as well tell me," Elaine said. The driver glanced at her. "To the hospital." Elaine's heart sank. She quickly grabbed the baseball bat from the back seat, smashed the car window, and said, "Sorry, sweetheart," before leaping out of the broken window. Everyone in the car was dumbfounded. They didn't expect this crazy woman to dare do such a thing while pregnant. This morning, Miss Beta reminded them not to harm Elaine, just to abort her baby. Now they didn't know if Elaine was injured, and they didn't dare to act rashly. Watching Elaine limp away, the driver called Beta. "How did it go? Have you taken her to the hospital?" Beta asked. The driver replied stutteringly, "I'm sorry, Miss Beta, we didn't take her to the hospital. Elaine jumped out of the car on the way." Beta was surprised to hear this from the driver. Jumped out of the car? Pregnant and she still dared to jump out of the car? "Retreat for now. Wait for my next instructions for the operation," Beta said before hanging up. Meanwhile, in the next office, Wesley received a call from Elaine. Hearing Elaine's voice on the other end, Wesley was excited and almost cried. He never expected Elaine to call him on her own initiative. But Elaine's words made him feel as cold as if he had been thrown into an ice cellar. "Wesley, I've said before that the baby in my belly isn't yours. Why won't you let me go?" "Because of your people, now the baby is gone. Are you satisfied?" "Wesley, I really hate you. You've killed me, and now you've killed my child. I never want to see you again in my life." After saying that, Elaine quickly hung up the phone. She touched her abdomen and decided to leave New York with her child tonight. She was really afraid that she wouldn't be able to escape next time and would be forcibly taken to the operating table. On the other hand, Wesley, after hearing Elaine's inexplicable words, was about to ask what was going on when he found the call was disconnected. He kept calling back, but it kept showing that the call was not answered. Wesley was extremely depressed. When did he send someone to kill her child? No matter whose child it was, he would never do such a thing to Elaine! Wait a minute...someone wants to kill Elaine's child?! Who could it be? It couldn't be Elaine herself, and it couldn't be the man beside Elaine. Apart from the people from the Howard family, who else would do such a thing and then frame him for it? Their purpose was to make Elaine completely hate him and ensure that they would never have a chance to reconcile, right? Was it Beta? Was it his father? Or... Bella?! Whoever it was, he needed to explain this matter to Elaine first, and then send someone to protect her. If those people dared to touch Elaine's child today, they would dare to harm Elaine tomorrow!
