Always Been Yours

Chapter 1446

Calvin and Felix were struck dumb for a good while before their expression twisted into nasty scowls as they finally understood what had happened. Then, they immediately sent people to search for Susan, but after several hours, they still hadn’t received any news.

“Damn it, how could that woman just disappear into thin air? How is it possible that we can’t find any information?!” Calvin kicked the tea table in front of him in anger. His two other brothers also had unpleasant expressions.

“I had a feeling that something was off about that woman from the beginning. Then, she appeared out of nowhere and offered to help us deal with Nicholas. Now, it seems that my intuition was right,” Felix said, trying to sound like he had known this would happen all along. Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

Zachary’s eyes were as cold as ice as he growled, “Now, the problem is not about finding that woman anymore. It’s about the fact that Tessa has been kidnapped. Nicholas will surely be able to pinpoint that we were involved in this sooner or later, but Tessa is not in our hands. Do you think he will believe us if we tell him that?”

The two brothers’ bodies stiffened upon hearing that, and they felt a sense of fear from the bottom of their hearts. They knew how Nicholas adored Tessa. So, they could not imagine what would happen to them the moment he found out that they had collaborated with others to kidnap her, and on top of that, they had lost her whereabouts.

Meanwhile, Nicholas indeed found out about Zachary and his brothers’ involvement in Tessa’s kidnap based on the clues provided by his bodyguards. He arrived at their temporary villa with an air of hostility, looking like the King of Hell about to drag them through the gallows himself. The brothers could not help but feel their throats tighten as their bodies tensed when they saw Nicholas barging in.

Nicholas’ sharp gaze swept over the three brothers’ faces like a blade as he questioned coldly. “Where is my wife?”

The three brothers exchanged a subtle glance with each other, intending to play dumb. But Nicholas saw through their intentions before they could speak.

“Don’t you dare play dumb with me,” he sneered in a dangerous tone. “Do you think I came here without evidence? I’ll ask again. Where is my wife?” Nicholas seemed to be squeezing out the last sentence from between his teeth.

The three felt a chill down their spine, and it was at that moment that they knew that any denial was useless. So, they chose to confess, “She’s not in our hands either. We were also deceived,”

“Deceived? But you were the ones who kidnapped her. So, how could she not be in your hands?!” Nicholas was so furious with the half- *ssed answer that he took a step forward and roughly grabbed Zachary’s collar.

Zachary looked at the angry man in front of him, and his face paled with fear. The same went for Calvin and Felix; they were genuinely scared for their lives and didn’t dare to lie. They immediately told Nicholas about Susan and her plot.

“There was a woman who came to us and said she could help us save our father. However, she told us you would compromise if we kidnapped Tessa,”

Nicholas clenched his fists tightly as soon as he heard Tessa’s name and gritted his teeth. “Who is that woman? What’s her name? Tell me everything.” He shoved Zachary away.

Zachary didn’t dare pull anything funny and immediately revealed the information he had learned. “The woman’s name is Diana, and I have her photo here.”

Zachary took out his phone, feeling extremely lucky that he had been cautious. Nicholas took a quick look at the photo and handed the phone to Edward. “I want all the information on this woman within ten minutes.” Edward immediately went to contact their sources to investigate.

The wait was torturous and even more so when Edward returned in a hurry with a grave expression in less than ten minutes. “I had our intelligence team use all their abilities to investigate, but we couldn’t find this person.”

The three brothers’ faces changed instantly. They could not believe what they had just heard and exclaimed, “How is this possible?”

“How dare you lie to me?!” Nicholas glared at the three men furiously. His fists clenched, and his veins bulged. Then, in the next second, he attacked the three brothers in a fit of rage. The three brothers were used to living a pampered life, so they were almost unilaterally beaten into a pulp by the enraged man.

Edward was worried that it would lead to severe consequences when he looked at the three men curled up on the ground and quickly stepped forward to hold Nicholas back.
