Chapter 531: Be More Professional, Tie Me Up

Chapter 531: Chapter 521: Be More Professional, Tie Me Up

She figured they were all still students. They were really going all out for a couple hundred bucks.

‘They even learned how to kidnap someone.’

“Tell me which school you go to later. I’m definitely going to report you all.”

The expressions on several of the punks immediately changed.

Before they could speak, Chloe Sinclair added, “Skipping class at a time like this… I’m going to tell your teachers and see how they deal with you!”

Hearing this, the punks let out a collective sigh of relief.

They hurried over to the van.

They wanted to say something, but when they looked at Chloe Sinclair’s stunningly beautiful face, the words suddenly caught in their throats.

“I… I’ll drive.”

“You’ll drive?” Chloe Sinclair shot him a cold look. “Are you even an adult?”

The punk’s face flushed red, and he lowered his head.

One of them raised his hand. “I’m an adult!”

Chloe Sinclair: “Then you drive? Do you have your license?”

The punk: “…”

Since no one around had a license, Chloe Sinclair gave up asking. She walked straight to the driver’s side of the van, buckled her seatbelt, and said, “Everyone get in the back. If there’s no room, you can go back to class.”

Chloe Sinclair was so fierce that the group of punks felt an inexplicable fear.

Even after they were all in the van, they still found the situation unbelievable.

They exchanged glances.

‘Weren’t we supposed to be teaching Chloe Sinclair a lesson?’ they all wondered.

‘What the hell is going on?’

And!

‘Aren’t the rumors that Chloe Sinclair is a goody-two-shoes? Then what’s with this attitude?!’

“B-Boss…”

One of the punks glanced at Chloe Sinclair and actually called her “Boss.”

Chloe Sinclair grunted in acknowledgment. “What is it?”

The punk said, “I know the way…”

“No need. I know this road well.”

‘I’ve been kidnapped and taken this way so many times I could find it with my eyes closed.’

The punk instantly shut his mouth.

Half an hour later, Chloe Sinclair got out of the car and held her wrists out to the punks.

The punks were at a loss.

Chloe Sinclair said, “Aren’t you supposed to be kidnapping me? Did you not even prepare any rope?”

‘These kids are so unprofessional,’ Chloe Sinclair thought.

‘Even Jasper Shaw’s father has more brains than them.’

Suddenly, the phone in Chloe Sinclair’s pocket rang.

It was Jasper Shaw.

Chloe Sinclair said, “Hold on,” and answered the phone.

On the other end of the line, Jasper Shaw sounded anxious. “Where did you go? You’re not home yet?”

Chloe Sinclair answered matter-of-factly, “Got kidnapped on the way. I’m at that abandoned factory now, the one your dad used to kidnap me.”

Jasper Shaw: “???”

There was a moment of silence on Jasper’s end before he subconsciously asked, “Which poor bastard?”

‘Of all the people to mess with, they had to mess with my wife?’

Chloe Sinclair raised an eyebrow, thoroughly agreeing with Jasper’s sentiment.

“Who else could it be but Wyatt Thorne? I’ve gotta go, I’m about to beat him up.”

‘He’s always hovering around me all day.’

‘It’s so annoying!’

Chloe Sinclair genuinely found Wyatt Thorne incredibly annoying.

Especially given the deep-seated, blood-soaked feud between them.

Chloe Sinclair was no saint. Since Wyatt Thorne was targeting her in this life, she might as well settle all their scores, new and old, at once.

Jasper, on the other end of the line, was silent for a long time. When he finally spoke, his voice was ice-cold. “Him, huh…”

“In that case, Chloe, don’t hold back. Want me to send a few bodyguards over to help you beat him up?”

As he said this, Jasper, far away in his apartment, felt his own hands start to itch for a fight.

But then he heard his wife’s sweet, gentle voice reply, “Don’t worry. I’ll be sure to beat the living daylights out of him.”

With that, she hung up, leisurely placed her phone back in her pocket, and zipped it shut.

The punks: “…”

‘If she was just here to beat someone up, why go through all these motions?’

‘It was completely unnecessary.’

But since Chloe Sinclair had demanded it, one of the punks took the rope they had prepared and tied it loosely around her hands.

Chloe Sinclair frowned. “A little professionalism, please. Tie a dead knot!”

‘So unprofessional, and with no work ethic either.’

The punk looked like he was about to cry, but he ultimately tied a dead knot as instructed.

Once inside the steel mill, the familiar, pungent smell of rubber once again filled Chloe Sinclair’s nostrils.

Chloe Sinclair sniffed in disgust.

This only made the smell more intense.

Wyatt Thorne was deep inside the steel mill. It took Chloe Sinclair about a five-minute walk to reach him.

As she entered the area, she saw Wyatt Thorne sitting on a dilapidated sofa.

Chloe Sinclair glanced over. Unsurprisingly, it was the same one Jasper Shaw’s father had sat on a few months ago.

When Wyatt Thorne saw Chloe Sinclair, his face broke into a wide, smug grin.

“Tsk tsk, Chloe. Wouldn’t it have been so much better if you’d just accepted me earlier?”

Chloe Sinclair looked baffled. “You really want to be the other man?”

She tutted. “That’s just disgusting.”

Wyatt Thorne’s face turned livid.

He stood up from the dilapidated sofa and closed in on Chloe Sinclair.

Smelling the strong stench of alcohol on him, Chloe Sinclair instinctively turned her head away.

She nearly gagged.

The utter disgust in Chloe Sinclair’s eyes made Wyatt Thorne even more furious.

“Chloe Sinclair, if you agree to be my girlfriend today, I can let bygones be bygones.”

“Are you crazy, or am I?”

‘Jasper Shaw is the richest man in the country, for crying out loud, and in the top ten globally.’

‘He’s tall, handsome, and has a great personality.’

‘Where on earth does Wyatt Thorne get the confidence to think he can compare to Jasper?’

“Wyatt Thorne, a brain is a good thing to have. Too bad you don’t.”

Chloe Sinclair continued, “You’re ugly, you have no car, no house, and no savings. If your sisters weren’t letting you bleed them dry to pay for your education, do you really think you could’ve escaped your backwater town? Besides, with grades like yours, do you really think you could’ve gotten into Emberfall University without the help of affirmative action?”

“Dream on!”

After arriving at Emberfall University, Wyatt Thorne had become deeply insecure about his family’s background.

Even though his parents doted on him, his family’s poverty was a constant sore spot.

As a result, he never talked about his family at school.

He never imagined that Chloe Sinclair would know all this!

Wyatt Thorne’s head snapped up, his eyes wide in disbelief. “You investigated me!”

As he said this, he raised his hand to strike, but the young woman before him suddenly took a step back. The rope, which had been tied in a dead knot, snapped with a loud CRACK.

And his wrist was caught in a grip like an iron clamp.

‘How is this woman so strong?!’

Wyatt Thorne struggled, unwilling to accept this, but it was completely useless.

Chloe Sinclair sneered. “What’s the matter? Ashamed of your family?”

In her past life, after Wyatt Thorne’s net worth soared and he managed to break into high society, he publicly announced that his parents had passed away.

He claimed to be an only child, the last of his family.

Back in their isolated hometown, his elderly parents and several sisters had no idea what Wyatt Thorne was doing.

He sent three thousand yuan home every month, and they actually thought their son was struggling.

They probably could never have imagined that their son’s net worth at the time was already in the tens of billions.

“Wyatt Thorne, a chicken can never become a phoenix. It’s impossible!”
