Chapter 2

2 Then, the older members of the White family arrived.

Hearing what my sister-in-law said on the phone, they exploded with anger,

"This is ridiculous! Ethan, for a woman, is abandoning his own mother!"

"That Tiffany, always acting so sweet and innocent, and now that this has happened, she won't let Ethan come back!"

But someone anxiously reminded them, "Ethan's not coming back, what do we do now?"

"We can't just let them kill Evelyn!"

I thought for a moment, "Let's go to Marco."

Marco was a man with connections in the underworld, and the kidnappers were from Ethan's rival gang, Ocean Blue.

With Marco, we could at least negotiate and buy some time.

"I'll go!"

My sister-in-law rushed back, and immediately set off.

But she'd only taken two steps when she collapsed.

When everyone helped her up, I saw her face was pale, lifeless.

She had another hypoglycemic episode.

But a few minutes later, she tried to get up again.

Seeing her stubbornness, my heart ached.

I held her down, "I'll go!"

"But you're pregnant..."

Ignoring everyone's objections, I grabbed my keys and went out.

But halfway there, a car cut me off.

I was about to get out to see what was happening when several large men aggressively opened my car door and pulled me out.

In the desolate countryside, I cried out in terror, "What are you doing?"

The men grinned, "You'll see."

They approached me, rubbing their hands.

"I've never tried a pregnant woman before, it must be interesting!"

I backed away, cornered.

"My husband is Ethan White. If you touch me, he won't let you get away with it!"

In desperation, I used my husband's name.

Everyone in the city knew Ethan White's name, his influence could resolve many issues.

And by saying he was my husband, these men shouldn't dare touch me.

But the men weren't afraid, they were even more arrogant,

"Ethan White? If it weren't for him, we wouldn't have found you!"

"What do you mean?"

I couldn't believe my ears.

"You heard right. He gave us your location. He said you're a whore, colluding with the kidnappers to kill someone."

"And we love whorish women."

I froze. In my last life, Ethan also accused me of bribing the kidnappers, said I was jealous of Tiffany, that I ordered them to rape and kill her.

But this time, we hadn't even met the kidnappers, and he already accused me of collusion.

It seems, he's also been reborn.

No wonder my sister-in-law couldn't get him to come back. He thought this was a trap I'd set.

But I didn't expect him to be so ruthless, to have people violate me, knowing I was eight months pregnant.

I was thrown to the ground, my clothes ripped.

In a desperate act, I picked up a rock and threw it at them.

While they were dodging, I jumped into the car, slammed the accelerator and escaped their pursuit.
