The Return of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife by Zara Gibbon

Chapter 979

Seeing Joanna be so anxious, Bruce frowned. He thought, “There is nothing I can do.

“I can pull some strings and ask all the police officers and Special Duties Teams in Greyport to search for Grace.

“However, if so, too much information about me will be exposed. People may find out who I am. Once people know

my identity, foreign secret agents will come to my family and children.

“That’s too risky. I can’t afford the result of doing so.”

Therefore, Bruce said, “There’s nothing we can do now. Given the state of things, waiting for Cassius to contact us

is the best solution.”

Hearing this, Joanna became even more anxious. She asked, “But we can’t contact Jay now. We don’t know what’s

going on. What should we do?”

Bruce could not speak a word. He frowned and thought for a while, but failed to have a good plan.

Bruce thought, “Waiting is the best solution now. I really can’t figure out a better plan.”

Cassius had sent people to search for Jaydon in Venturas. Unfortunately, they could not find Jaydon even though

they had searched every corner of Venturas.

Mike reported solemnly, “Mr. Grimm, we still can’t reach out to Jaydon.”

Cassius looked gloomy and murderous and cursed, “Damn it. Find Jaydon no matter where he goes. You must force

him to hand over what he has.”

Cassius thought, “Jaydon went to Yasmine’s residence last night and took away Yasmine’s computer.

“Jaydon must have something in his hand. He must be hiding somewhere now, waiting to give me a fatal strike.

“I have to snatch back the evidence in Jaydon’s hands as soon as possible.”

Mike asked, “Then what about Grace? Johnny and the others are waiting for your instructions.”

When Cassius heard that, he half-closed his eyes and clenched his hands into fists tightly.

Cassius ordered, “Ask them to wait for my orders. Don’t touch Grace until

we have contacted Jaydon.”

“Okay, got it,” replied Mike.

A day went past in the blink of an eye.

Joanna still did not have any news about Grace and Jaydon.

Joanna was so anxious that she was about to faint, crying, “What should we do?

“If anything doesn’t work, we’ll go straight to Cassius. He must take Grace away.”

Bruce sighed and said, “Cassius won’t admit it even if you go to confront him.

“Do you think Cassius will admit it since you don’t have proof?”

Bruce thought, “Besides, Cassius won’t do it himself. He/must leave it to his subordinates.

“We have no evidence to testify against Cassius even if we ask the police to arrest him.”

After hearing Bruce’s words, Joanna was even more worried and uneasy. She asked, “Then what should we do? We

can’t just sit back and do nothing, right?”

Bruce answered, “Darcy has called a guy named Rooster of the Star Gang. Rooster said some of his people know

those who kidnapped Grace.”

“Then who are they?” asked Joanna.

Bruce replied, “They’re just hooligans. Anyone can order them around with money. Rooster can’t contact them

either.

“Cassius must have bribed them…”

Joanna sighed and said, “Can you share something that I don’t know? “I also know Cassius did that, but what do we

do to rescue Grace now?” Bruce pondered for a few seconds. Then he said, “Eat something first. You have been

worried for a whole day that you didn’t eat anything today.”

Joanna said, “How can I be in the mood to eat? Those hooligans kidnapped Grace. If anything happens to her… I

can’t imagine that.” Joanna did not dare to continue. She was afraid that her jinxed words would come true.

Then Joanna changed the topic and murmured, “I’ll send another

11:15

message to Jay to ask where he went.”

[Jay, where are you? Grace is kidnapped. Reply once you read this message.]

“Swish!” Joanna sent the message on Messenger.

Joanna had sent Jaydon more than a dozen Messenger voice messages and called him over ten times.

Sadly, Joanna could not reach out to Jaydon.

What Joanna could do for Jaydon now was to protect Patricia.

Bruce suggested, “Honey, let’s go home first.”

Joanna rejected, “No, we should stay in the hospital! What if Jay comes to the hospital?”

Bruce sighed and said, “Can you not be so nervous?” Seeing Joanna was so anxious, Bruce was frustrated and felt

his heart ache for her.

Joanna cared anything about Jaydon more than her matters.

In the past, Bruce was always jealous when he saw Joanna cared so much about anything related to Jaydon.

Luckily, Bruce gradually felt less insecure after spending some time getting to know Jaydon these days. Bruce knew

Joanna and Jaydon were really just friends, and Joanna was doing her best to repay Jaydon’s kindness.

Joanna said, “You don’t understand. Grace is Jay’s only biological sister. I don’t know how to face Jay if anything

happens to Grace.”

Joanna was at a loss and could not help but sigh.

Joanna thought, “Jaydon helped me a lot. I can never really repay Jaydon for what he did.

“Without Jaydon, my children and I won’t be where we are today.

“When I experienced the most difficult times in my life, it was Jaydon who stood by me and helped me without

asking anything in return. “Now that Jaydon’s sister is kidnapped, I can’t sit back and do nothing.”

Bruce could not figure out a better solution either. Thus, all he could do was comfort Joanna, “A large number of

police officers and police dogs are out there to search for Grace on Mount Laypas and Mount Rego. “Don’t worry!

There should be news soon!”

Joanna replied, “I hope we will receive some exciting news soon.”

11:15

Grace was in an abandoned mansion on Mount Rego.

A wealthy family used to live in this mansion. However, this place gradually became deserted since the descendants

moved to the city. Skinhead gave the takeout to Grace and said, with a lecherous gleam in his eyes, “Little beauty,

here’s something for you to eat!”

Skinhead, like radar, was scanning Grace with his wretched eyes.

Grace curled up on the ground in a terrible state. Her hands and feet were tied. She asked, “I don’t want to eat it.

I’m begging you. Can you let me go?”

Skinhead walked forward and handed a bottle of water to Grace, saying, “Here. Drink some water first. Don’t blame

us. We just follow the orders.” Grace mustered up courage and asked in fear, “Who asked you to kidnap me? I don’t

have any money for you now. You won’t receive anything if you lock me here…”

Skinhead explained, “We take the money and do our job. That’s it. We don’t care about anything else.

“Drink some water to stay hydrated!”

Grace looked at Skinhead pitifully and pleaded, “I… I want to go to the washroom. Can you untie my hands? I can’t

take it anymore.”

Rifle and Skinhead looked at each other when they heard Grace’s request.

Skinhead said, “Well. She doesn’t look like she is lying. Things will get tricky if she pees in her pants.”

Rifle replied, “Okay then. Take her to the washroom.”

Skinhead showed a creepy smile. Then he carried Grace and untied her, saying, “Little beauty, I’ll untie you in

seconds.”

When speaking, Skinhead reached his hand into Grace’s clothes and touched Grace’s private parts.

Grace panicked and cried, “Ahh! Don’t! Don’t touch me.”

Skinhead said, “Well. If you don’t behave, I won’t untie you.”

Hearing this, Grace had no choice but to endure the humiliation. Then, she started sobbing in despair.

Soon, Skinhead untied Grace and took her to a dilapidated room at the back.

Skinhead said, “You can pee here.”

11:15

Grace sobbed and pleaded, “Can you please turn around?”

Skinhead replied, “Relax. We won’t peek at you.”

Grace cried, “Please! Turn around. I’m embarrassed when you look at me like that.”

Skinhead and Rifle laughed when they heard Grace’s begging. Then,

Skinhead said, “Huh. Lots of requests. Alright! We will turn around. Now hurry up and pee.”

With that, Skinhead and Rifle turned around. However, they planned to peek when Grace was in the middle of her

stuff.

After confirming Skinhead and Rifle had turned around, Grace looked around.

The windows of this dilapidated room were rotten. Behind them was the dark wilderness.
