Chapter 600: Taking Amelia Away
Karen didn’t stop at all as she brought Amelia straight to the elevator, walking as fast as she could to pull Amelia out of the hospital.
Amelia was only five years old, and her legs were short, so she couldn’t walk fast. There were several times where she almost fell to the floor because of Karen’s pulling.
“Grandma, where… where are we going?” Amelia asked while panting and trying to keep up with Karen’s pace.
Karen said casually and perfunctorily, “Didn’t you see it? There were suddenly so many people in the ward, and it was really dangerous. Of course I’m bringing you somewhere safe!”
At this moment, she was holding Amelia’s delicate wrist tightly and anxiously, as if she was holding her destiny.
When she saw a person stepping out of a Pa.s.sat parked near the hospital entrance and walking toward her, her eyes lit up, and she hurriedly pulled Amelia along and made her way over.
“Karen Turner, huh? We are the people Mr. Kingston sent to pick you up,” the tall middle-aged man in a gray suit said indifferently.
“Yes, it’s us!” Karen immediately nodded and followed the man to the Pa.s.sat, only to find that there was no one inside.
“Strange, didn’t Mr. Kingston say he would come in person?” Karen murmured.
The middle-aged man looked at her. “Mr. Kingston has a high status. Why would he come personally? Just leave with us. We’ll bring you to meet up with Mr. Kingston.”
Karen thought about it and felt that he made sense. Mr. Kingston is a big shot. Why would he lower his status and come to the hospital in person? If anyone sees him, it’ll be difficult for him to explain himself.
Karen pulled Amelia into the car without further hesitation.
When Amelia saw the car and two strangers in front of her, she couldn’t help feeling a little nervous, and she whispered timidly, “Grandma, who are they? Where are we going now?”
Karen’s mind was now full of thoughts about how to get the voice recording from Moses after handing Amelia over to him. It would be best if she could get him to find a way to kill William.
Since she was thinking about how to save her life, she obviously didn’t have the time to pay attention to Amelia or listen to her.
Seeing Karen ignoring her, Amelia became even more nervous. She shook Karen’s hand and cuddled up in her arms. “Grandma, did you hear me…”
Karen snapped out of her train of thoughts and immediately flew into a rage. She pushed Amelia away before Amelia could even finish speaking. “What are you making a fuss for? Can’t you see I’m thinking about something? How annoying!”
After being pushed, Amelia’s tiny body became unsteady and fell onto the backseat. It wasn’t very painful, but she was extremely nervous now. Karen’s impatience and rudeness made Amelia feel aggrieved and devastated.
Tears instantly welled up in her eyes, but she pursed her lips and bit them hard, trying her best not to make a sound as she cried.
The middle-aged man driving in front had a cold, murderous intent in his eyes as he watched them through the rearview mirror.
Even though he was just an outsider, he couldn’t stand it anymore.
“She’s just a child, and she’s been treating you as her grandmother all these years. Must you do that to her?” the middle-aged man said coldly.
Karen thought that he was just one of Moses’ subordinates, so she was puzzled as to why he dared to say this to her.
She harrumphed coldly and rolled her eyes. “I’m talking to my granddaughter. It’s none of your business! Just focus on driving. You meddle too much for a servant!”
The middle-aged man glanced at Karen and stopped paying attention to her, but he said to Amelia, “Amelia, I’m not a bad guy. Don’t be scared. Do you like playing with jigsaw puzzles?”
The teary-eyed Amelia glanced at the middle-aged man in front of her and felt slightly relieved when she realized that she didn’t have any aversion toward him. She nodded obediently. “Yes.”
The middle-aged man took out a few children’s jigsaw puzzles from the glove compartment and handed them to Amelia.
Amelia had been learning to fix jigsaw puzzles in kindergarten lately, so she immediately concentrated on fixing them.
Watching the middle-aged man coax Amelia, Karen secretly pursed her lips without saying anything.
But she didn’t notice that the middle-aged man could call out Amelia’s name easily.
The Pa.s.sat continued to drive on the road, and Karen wasn’t too concerned about where their destination was.
She was finally relieved now.
As long as she waited for a while and handed Amelia over to Moses, not only would she be able to get back the voice recording of her crime, but she would also soon be able to look forward to Lucas’s death!
This was undoubtedly great news for her!
As soon as Lucas died, she wouldn’t have to be afraid of the good-for-nothing William anymore.
She was no longer the same person she was before, who didn’t dare to deal with William and could only get Nikki to cooperate with her to hire a hitman to kill William.
Karen had already made several attempts to kill William personally. If not for the fact that she had been stopped because of a freak combination of factors, William would have died in her hands.
As long as Lucas died, William would definitely die too!
When the time came, she would be able to return rightfully to Lucas’s extremely luxurious villa in the middle of Pearl Lake and enjoy the life of a rich woman that she had dreamed of for most of her life. No one would be able to stop her anymore!
Karen became really excited at the thought of being able to take over everything in the luxurious villa, including the fairy-tale dream-like palace villa itself, which boasted of gorgeous furnis.h.i.+ng and decor that included a huge swimming pool, garden, dock, and cruise s.h.i.+p outside. She was also tempted by the company and the ma.s.sive amount of money Lucas had.
Soon, all of this would belong to her!
This was the wonderful life she should be enjoying!
Karen quickly thought about the life she would lead in the future, and a bizarre smile subconsciously appeared on her face.
She was so engrossed in her fantasy that she didn’t even notice that the two middle-aged men driving in front of her were looking at her with contempt.
After about twenty minutes or so, the car finally stopped at the entrance of a quiet villa.
The middle-aged man took out his phone and sent out a series of messages before saying coldly to Karen, “We’re here. Get out.”
Karen opened the door and got out of the car. After looking around, she asked, “Is Mr. Kingston waiting for me inside?”
“No, Mr. Kingston is a bit busy and hasn’t arrived yet. Just wait inside,” the middle-aged man said with a straight face.
Karen was extremely displeased.
She had already sent her granddaughter to Moses as he wished, yet he was still putting on airs in front of her and asking her to wait for him. He was going overboard!
But the other party’s power was definitely greater than hers. Besides, Moses was in control of the voice recording, so Karen had no choice but to enter the villa and wait for him even though she was indignant.
As she took a stroll around the villa, she discovered that the decorations were far less luxurious than that of the lake villa.
What are you pretending to put on airs for? This place is worse than the villa I used to live in!
Only then did Karen suddenly remember that she seemed to have forgotten something. “Where’s Amelia?”
