Mr. CEO's Ex-Wife: A Cunning Comeback-Chapter 102 - : Coward, Get Lost!

Meanwhile, Kate was tied up and thrown into an old warehouse. She was suddenly jolted awake by a splash of cold water.

She looked around, scared by the unfamiliar surroundings. "What is this place? Who are you? Why did you capture me? Do you know this is illegal?"

Kate felt embarrassed because her short skirt made her underwear visible.

"Oh, Ms. Kate. You sure know a lot about the law."

A chill ran down Kate's spine when she heard the familiar voice.

"Steve? Is that you?" Kate asked in a shaking tone.

She noticed Steve's fractured arm and felt a knot of nervousness in her throat.

"I didn't expect this. It's an honor to be remembered by you, Ms. Kate!"

"What do you want? It's just an arm. You're not going to hold this against me, are you? I wouldn't have done it if you hadn't provoked me first."

Kate's words irritated Steve. He approached Kate instantly and grabbed her neck with a hideous look on his face.

"Just an arm? Do you know what I've been through? Since I lost my arm, my life has been ruined. No one in Easthan will hire me. I'm unemployed now! I'm only in my thirties, and you ruined my life! Shouldn't I get revenge on you?" Steve ranted like a madman as he tightened his grip on Kate's neck.

As Kate thought she might die, Steve suddenly released her and threw her aside.

Kate coughed and slowly regained her breath.

After some time, she realized she wasn't afraid anymore. She knew Steve didn't want her dead, so she could handle him.

"Steve, you kidnapped me just for money, didn't you?" Kate calmed herself and asked.

Hearing her words, Steve was momentarily stunned and then he started to laugh.

"You're pretty smart."

"Tell me. How much money do you want? Since you kidnapped me, I'm sure you already know I'm Jerry's fiancée. You're just trying to make a quick buck. There's no need to make this difficult."

"I have no income because of you. I want a million dollars so I can live the rest of my life without worries. That's not asking for too much, is it?"

"A million dollars? You might as well rob a bank." Kate thought it was a joke.

How could she find a million dollars now?

Jerry has no money at this moment so no way he could give a ransom for her.

"If you can't give me a million dollars, I have no choice but to get rid of you."

"Are you going to kill me? Steve, how dare you!"

"Let me be honest with you. Someone put a price on your head. If I can't get a million dollars, 300 thousand will work for me too," Steve said, spilling the beans frankly.

Steve's life had been a mess lately. He spent his days in bars with gangsters, wasting away most of his savings. His life felt pointless.

Then, someone offered him a chance to take Kate's life. It brought some excitement back into his life.

How could he turn down the opportunity for revenge and money?

"Who is it? Who wants me dead?"

"Since you're going to die soon, I don't mind telling you. The person who wants you dead is Mrs. Lowe, your future mother-in-law."

Kate was shocked by Steve's answer. She had planned to ask Jerry to get money from his family if things got worse. She was sure Jerry wouldn't want her dead, since he hadn't had enough fun with her yet.

But the person who wanted her dead was the old woman from the Lowe family.

Kate couldn't understand why Mrs. Lowe would want her gone just because she couldn't control her son.

Suddenly, Steve's lackeys who stood around her began tying sandbags to her feet, and Kate grew anxious. She begged, "No! Don't kill me! You just want money, right? I'll pay you!"

"Oh? Miss Kate, do you think I'm a fool? The whole of Easthan knows the Bently family is bankrupt. Even your mother had to sell herself to survive, and you're telling me you can give me a million dollars? What a joke!"

Steve didn't believe her. He waved his hands, signaling the gangsters to move faster.

The gangsters followed his orders, throwing Kate into a sack. They carried her outside the warehouse, toward a cliff.

If they threw her down, she would die. With the sandbags and rocks tied to her, her body would sink into the ocean.

It would take at least a month for anyone to find her, by which time Steve and his gang would have already escaped with the money.

"I don't have any money, but Chantelle does. She was also involved in causing your fractured arm, right? She's rich. Forget a million dollars—she could easily pay you ten million. Let me go, and I'll help you kidnap Chantelle. We'll both get rich and turn our lives around. Isn't that better?"

Kate persuaded him quickly, desperate. Her situation was all because of Chantelle, and if she was going to die, she would make sure to drag Chantelle down with her.

"Is that woman really that rich?" Steve hesitated, tempted.

"Of course. Do you know why the Bently family went bankrupt? She took all the money. I also saw her take more than ten million dollars from Daniel at the hospital last time." Kate, still inside the sack, tried to convince Steve.

"Boss, Chantelle is with Daniel. We can't afford to offend her..." One of Steve's lackeys warned him.

"You don't win in life by playing it safe. Once we get the money, we'll get rid of her too. No one will find us, and we can live in peace, enjoying the rest of our lives."

Kate worried Steve might change his mind, so she kept pushing, trying to convince him further.

"Put her down and take her inside," Steve finally decided, agreeing to Kate's suggestion.

"Boss, are you really going to listen to this woman? We'll all be dead if we offend Mr. Wilson," one of his lackeys warned him again.

"Cowards, get lost! Stay with me if you want to make money!" Steve shouted angrily.
