Alan was currently sitting in a beautiful Tesla vehicle. When he heard Ethan's despairing sigh via his earbuds, he couldn't help but smirk. To him, he is successful in the sudden turn of events.
"Hmph, as long as I control your weakness, you can't hurt me. You will have to obey me, no matter how powerful you are!" Alan reveled in his ideas and even began humming happily.
However, he was unaware that an average Toyota sedan was following him.
Dylan was sitting in the Toyota's driver's seat and looked uncertain. He asked, "Ethan, can we really find Sophia by tailing him like this? What if he called the one handling Sophia and do something wrong?"
Ethan replied sincerely, "He's now treating Sophia as his life-saving trump card, so there's a good chance he'll check on her after leaving us. Then, he will develop some follow-up plans. I'm almost sure of this. Let's follow him and have a look first. With this kind of guy, I am pretty sure our plan will work, and he will take the bait."
"You're right." Dylan yelled resentfully, with one hand on the steering wheel and his gaze locked on the Tesla sedan in front of him: "After we rescue Sophia, I definitely won't let this scum go!"
Ethan said nothing, but his eyes were deadly cold. He was not going to let Alan off so quickly.
Ethan and Dylan soon followed Alan's automobile to the entrance of a relatively remote neighborhood on the fringes of southern Emerald Coast.
The neighborhood has only been established for a brief time. So, despite its distant location, it was an upmarket district with numerous thirty-story high-rise skyscrapers. In the community's depths was a cluster of magnificent villas surrounded by lush flora.
Sophia was seated on a couch in one of these villas' living rooms, cuddling a small teddy bear and watching a cartoon on television. A 26 year-old woman with a pleasant demeanor was seated near her.
Sophia was not interested in the cartoon. After sitting for a while, she couldn't help but blink her vast eyes at the lovely woman beside her. "Aunt Selene, it is now dark. When will Daddy arrive to get me up?"
Sophia addressed the stunning beauty as Aunt Selene, who was slightly shocked and couldn't help but have a compassionate expression in her eyes. She regained control of her emotions and smiled gently, "Your daddy is an adult, and adults are always very busy!" Sophia, don't be nervous. "Your father will come and pick you up in a while! Let's continue watch the tv while waiting for his arrival,ok?"
"Okay, I understand. Let us continue waiting for him." Sophia was displeased, yet she sat obediently without weeping or throwing a fuss.
Her compliance made the exquisite and lovely lady feel even empathy for her. Unfortunately, she did not enjoy freedom either, so she could not rescue the small girl, unaware of her condition.
Selene stroked Sophia's hair gently and said softly, "Sophia, are you hungry? I will go bake you a cake, okay? You will surely like the cake I will bake."
"Wow! Aunt Selene, how do you prepare a cake? You're fantastic!" Sophia's eyes widened as she admired Selene's elegance.
"Haha, it's so simple. Sophia, would you like to come with me to bake the cake? Selene asked as she bent forward.
"Yes! I want to learn to bake a cake from you, Aunt Selene! Once I finish, I'll be able to go home and create a giant cake for Mommy and Daddy! They will eat together the cake and be happy!" Sophia sprang up enthusiastically, free of her earlier boredom and unhappiness.
The lovely beauty sighed in her heart, unsure whether Sophia would see her parents again. She had a feeling that these won't go well. But she still hope that Sophia can go home, safely.
She forced a grin on her lips and led Sophia to the kitchen to wash her hands before preparing some flour and eggs.
She then started teaching Sophia how to bake a cake.
Alan entered the villa after hearing a loud boom from the door. He shook off his shoes and kicked them to the side.
Hearing the commotion, the stunning beauty stepped out of the kitchen only to run into Alan. She quickly took two anxious steps backward. "What are you doing here? Why are you here?"
"What? Shouldn't you be glad to see me come over, Selene?" Alan unfastened his jacket and came toward Selene, removing his clothing.
She immediately seized the sliding door to the kitchen and peered at him. "W-wait, what are you trying to do?"
He had planned to have a good time with Luisa Thorn, who had taken the initiative to approach him. But before he bedded her, he met an even more stunning woman, Charlotte Reed. But after forcing Charlotte to strip down to her underwear, someone came and wrecked things for him. Things did not well according to his plan today.
Furthermore, he needed to express the terror and anxiety that Ethan had instilled in him.
Selene grimaced and frowned as she noticed the passion in Alan's eyes. "You promised to wait until I'm willing and never force me! That's your promise!"
Alan couldn't care anymore at this point. Selene was a lovely woman who he had kidnapped and imprisoned at the villa for nearly a month. He had previously expressed an interest in her request and agreed to play along by waiting for her to be willing. But today, he can no longer wait.
Alan grabbed Selene's arm, pulling her away without saying anything else.
A small person raced out of the kitchen behind Selene and hurled the egg she was holding at Alan.
"Hey, you are bullying Aunt Selene! Hurry and leave! Stop what you are doing and leave this instant!"
When the delicate egg smashed against Alan's knee, it shattered instantly, and the egg yolk and white spilled across his thigh before gently running down.
Alan's face darkened instantly. This little brat of Ethan Knight is just as horrible and repulsive as her father! No wonder she is his daughter!
Selene instantly drew Sophia behind her to protect her, worried Alan would take it out on her. She replied uneasily, "S-she's still young. She does not know anything. Could you not hold it against a youngster? I'll help you wash your clothes."
Alan scoffed. "You seem to be getting along fine with this little brat! She defended you, and you are defending her. For a few hours you are already this close like friends or family? Oh, how ridiculous! Do you want me to let her go? Sure, go to the bedroom and serve me nicely. I'm not going to hold it against her after you do!" Alan Carroll is not a kind-hearted person. Even if she is a youngster, he will not spare her!
