Three months to earn 500,000 dollars? When Avery heard Lena's words, she was almost dumbfounded. Even for a working adult, it's impossible to earn so much in three months. Moreover, she's just a junior in college, who has to attend classes every day and study. How could she earn 500,000 dollars in such a short time?
However, since Lena had already said it, and there was no turning back, Avery had to try her best.
"Okay, Auntie, I will work hard."
"Okay, stop talking nonsense. Go to the hospital to see Julian first. I still have some work to do here. I'll see you later." "Okay, see you at the hospital, Auntie."
After hanging up the phone, sveri felt both happy and depressed. It's good that she can help her grandmother get the surgery as soon as possible, but what's bothering her is how to create 500,000 dollars in wealth within three months.
Thinking of this, Avery touched her bag. Inside was a draft paper about the design of a "Childhood Sweetheart" themed ring, which had been praised by a professional teacher. If she could enter the international competition in two months and even get into the top three, she could earn the 500,000 dollars.
But the problem now is that the design is missing something. She has to figure out the details as soon as possible when she gets home tonight. Otherwise, she won't even qualify to submit the application.
Her plan for today was to go to the hospital to see Julian , accompany him for a while, then go home and start revising the draft after dinner. On her way to the hospital, she even thought about asking Ethan to lend her his study. There must be books in his study that are useful for her design concept. Perhaps she could find inspiration there.
However, what she didn't expect was that the taxi she was in had not yet arrived at the hospital. On the busy road, it was surrounded by seven or eight black cars, blocking its way.
The taxi couldn't move, and the other cars were driven away by those cars, directly forcing the taxi to stop.
Soon, more than ten men in black suits and sunglasses got out of the cars and surrounded the taxi.
"Miss Wells, please come with me."
"Miss, they are here for you. Please get out of the car." Seeing the situation, the driver was scared to death and didn't want to cause trouble, so he quickly opened the door and let Avery get out of the car.
Avery got out of the car and looked at the group of people in front of her, frowning warily. "Who are you? Why should I go with you?"
"You'll find out when you get there, Miss Wells." As he spoke, two people stepped forward, trying to grab her .
"First, tell me who you are. Otherwise, don't come near me, don't touch me!" Avery thought that these people might be some of the creditors of her brother , and they had a big background.
If they were really her brother's creditors, could she come back intact if she was taken away this time?
No, she couldn't go with them.
The more she thought about it, the more scared she became. She wanted to step back, but behind her was the taxi that couldn't get out of the encirclement. She had no way out.
She wanted to open the car door and get in to hide, but the driver refused to open the door and had already locked it when she got out.
As a lady, how could she compete with these men? They easily controlled her hands and made her unable to move.
"I'm sorry, Miss Wells."
They took her to one of the black cars in front of them. Despite controlling her arms and using some force, the two men didn't touch her anywhere else, not even her exposed arms.
Compared to the last time she was kidnapped by those bandits, these people were much more civilized in their actions. With people sitting on both sides of her and a small distance separating them, she looked out the window at the passing scenery and nervously asked, "Who sent you and where are you taking me?"
But they remained silent as if they hadn't heard her. She was extremely anxious, fearing that these people were creditors of Lucas . If not for his messy debts, she couldn't think of any other possibilities.
However, she never expected that they were taking her to her own home. But the car didn't stop at the main entrance, instead, it stopped at the back door of the villa.
"Miss Wells, please follow us. Third Master has been waiting for you." It was still those people who opened the car door and respectfully stood by the side, gesturing for her to get out of the car.
From start to finish, these people didn't do anything excessive, didn't use violence, and didn't even curse.
Avery finally realized that these people were sent by Ethan . But what puzzled her was why he had kidnapped her and brought her back home like this.
After getting out of the car, she tried to walk around to the main entrance but was stopped by someone.
"Miss Wells, Third Master is waiting for you in the basement. Please go down from here." Someone led her through a hidden mechanism and down the stairs.
Avery followed behind and saw that the stairs were very high, about six or seven meters high.
On both sides of the stairs were lamps, and as she descended, although it was a basement, it was not as dark as she had imagined.
At the bottom, she saw an iron door. After opening it, she had to open two more doors to get inside. Why did Ice Face bring her here? Avery was puzzled.
After all three doors were opened, the person who led her down pushed her inside and said, "Miss Wells, Third Young Master is inside. Please go in."
After speaking, he retreated.
As soon as she entered, she saw Ethan sitting on a luxurious chair in the middle, leaning against the door. He was not wearing the blue suit he wore during the day, but a shiny black leather jacket and pants. "Mr. Blackwood , you called for me?" She took a few steps forward while observing her surroundings.
She found that the basement was mainly decorated in black, and the space was designed like a living room, but much larger.
She also noticed a metal bed on the left wall and a metal table on the right, with a black veil-covered metal cage on top of it. Everything in the room was made of iron, and the floor was black. This environment gave her a very eerie feeling.
"Here already?" Just as Avery was looking around, the man sitting in the middle chair spoke softly.
He didn't get up but pointed to the cage on the table to his right and said without any emotion in his voice, "Go get that cage for me."
"Okay."
Avery didn't know what this man was up to, but she didn't hesitate and walked towards the metal table on the right to pick up the cage.
Unexpectedly, the cage was quite heavy, and she almost couldn't hold it steady.
At this moment, the man spoke again, "Take off the gauze and open it to see."
"Okay."
Hearing this, she raised her hand and quickly removed the gauze covering the cage.
Just as the gauze was lifted, she saw a snake in the cage spitting out a red venom towards her. She was so scared that she screamed in terror.
"Ah, a snake!" and instinctively threw the cage far away, making a loud and jarring sound.
