Seeing this,Ethan crushed his cigarette under his shoe with a cold snort.“What’s the rush,Jenna?Your daughter won’t die just yet.”
At his signal,a man with a scar on his face yanked the van door open and dragged Emma out.
She was pale,her eyes swollen from crying.Tape sealed her mouth,bruises marked her body and rope bound her wrists and ankles.The moment she saw me,she began thrashing and sobbing.
"Emma!"My heart ached as if it were being torn apart.I tried to rush forward,but the bodyguard held me back once again.
“Mom?Mom...”Her muffled cry was raw and desperate.
“Ethan,let her go!She's just a child!If you have something against me,take it out on me!”
I screamed like crazy,tears blurring my vision.
Natalie put away the mirror and swayed her waist as she walked over.Her voice dripped with mock sympathy.“Oh,what a touching scene between mother and daughter.But Jenna,too bad,you’re in no place to bargain here.”
Ethan opened his car door,pulled out a folder and slammed it onto the ground in front of me.A cloud of dust rose.
“Sign it,”he said flatly,without the slightest trace of emotion.
I looked down.It was an equity transfer and a divorce agreement.
