SWNOVELS Chapter 326
Chapter 326 Can't You Give Me a Chance?
In the winter morning, there was only a misty light from street lamps in the sky, which was blocked by the surrounding residential buildings.
Hearst drove the car to the address mentioned in Layla's message.
The car stopped at the side of the road. When Layla saw the tall and straight man coming out of the car, she immediately walked over with a smile. "Jared..."
Before she could finish speaking, another person came out of the car.
Seeing Anaya, Layla darkened her face.
"Jared, why did you bring this woman here..."
She especially asked someone to kidnap Nikki. The purpose of Layla's play was to let Hearst come to her voluntarily. Thus, she could stay with him alone.
Since the woman also came, how could she get close to Hearst?
Anaya closed the car door. Her face without makeup was delicate. Then she said in a cold tone, "Ms. Giles, you're here to help. It doesn't matter if I stay here. Unless..."
She looked at Layla faintly. "You want to seduce my man."
"When did Jared become yours?" Layla was provoked by her.
Anaya raised her eyebrows. "He still has my kiss marks on his body. Do you want me to prove it to you?"
"You!"
"Layla," Hearst interrupted her, his eyes dark and cold. "Where is Nikki?"
Layla's attention was shifted from Anaya.
She was dissatisfied with Hearst's cold attitude and complained in her voice, "I tried my best to help you. Can't you treat me better...
"Nikki was locked up on the second floor of the opposite building. There were four or five people on their team. Judging from their way of speaking and doing things, they should be retired soldiers. I only brought two people over. So I did not go up to save her."
As Layla spoke, her gaze circled Hearst. "You only brought Anaya over? She is a delicate and useless lady and probably could not beat them.
"How about I call a few more people over for you? My bodyguards are much more useful than Anaya."
As she said this, she looked at Anaya provocatively, as if she was the one who could help Hearst, and Anaya was just a useless person. In the face of her provocation, Anaya did not react.
Before coming out of the Helms' place, Hearst had said that the person who kidnapped Nikki was probably Layla.
On the way here just now, Hearst's men had already called him and said that the person who took Nikki away was indeed Layla.
Layla did not know that her trick had been seen through by Hearst. She was still showing off here. When Anaya saw this, she only felt that it was funny.
Hearst ignored Layla's words and said coldly, "Get someone to bring Nikki down."
No matter how slow Layla was, she also noticed that something went wrong with Hearst.
Could it be that her self-directed act of kidnapping Nikki had been seen through?
Thinking of this, Layla suddenly felt a little guilty, and her palms began to sweat.
However, after all, she had gone through a lot with her brother. She quickly adjusted her mood and secretly warned herself not to panic.
She continued to act. "I don't have enough people with me. When the rest of the people are here, I'll get them to bring Nikki down later."
After she finished speaking, she felt that Hearst's gaze was even colder.
Since Layla continued her act, Hearst stopped beating around the bush and said coldly, "I mean, ask your men to let go of Nikki."
There was no expression on his handsome face while Layla's heart pounded faster. Perhaps it was because of his appearance and temperament, or because Layla was scared by his aura. Layla pretended that she had been wronged and asked in disbelief, "Jared, do you mean that you think I kidnapped Nikki?"
Hearst did not answer and looked at her silently.
"Nikki and I know each other, and we played together before. How could I kidnap her?" Layla complained.
"Am I the kind of person in your eyes who will hurt friends to achieve my goal?"
"I'll give you two minutes to bring her down." Hearst's patience was exhausted by her, and his tone became a bit harsh. "If I brought her down personally, things would not be so simple." Seeing his cold attitude, Layla knew that he must have noticed something.
She had planned to impress Hearst by helping him save Nikki today. In the end, not only did she not get Hearst's good impression, but she lost all her remaining good feelings in his heart.
Layla had no choice but to take out her phone and call the people on the opposite floor, asking them to bring Nikki down. In less than a minute, a muscular man carried Nikki out of the door of the opposite building. He carried Nikki over and wanted to throw her on the ground.
When he met Hearst's eyes, he suddenly trembled and asked cautiously, "Sir, where do I put this young lady?"
Anaya opened the door of the back seat of the car. "Put her in the car. Be gentle."
The man hurriedly nodded and gently put the person into the car.
Then he looked at Layla and was a little unsure if he should say hello to Layla before leaving.
Last night, Layla had told him not to let Hearst see that they knew each other.
Just now, Layla called and asked him to send the person back to Hearst. After Layla finished speaking, she directly hung up. In this situation, he was very confused and did not know if he could show his relationship with Layla. Seeing that he was still motionless after releasing Nikki, Layla said in a bad mood, "Since you brought her down, then get lost."
The man reacted and quickly left.
Anaya checked Nikki's condition and found that she was only asleep without external injuries.
Anaya was a little worried and raised her head to ask Layla, "Why did Nikki faint?"
"She was too noisy last night. I got someone to feed her some sleeping pills," said Layla in a bad tone.
Hearing this, Anaya did not say anything more and closed the door of the back seat.
Since Nikki was rescued, Hearst was ready to leave.
Seeing that he was about to leave, Layla reluctantly stepped
forward and raised her hand to stop him. "Jared..." Before her hand could touch Hearst's sleeve, he dodged. It was obvious that he didn't want her to touch him.
"Jared, I didn't kidnap Nikki on purpose," Layla explained after she was stunned for a while.
"Yesterday, you drove me out of the Helms' place. I was upset. I just wanted to see you and talk to you...
"Jared, I've liked you for so long. Can't you give me a chance?"
Layla asked very softly.
She was a native of Canada, who was passionate and unrestrained.
She would only be careful in front of Hearst.
Because she liked him, she always kept her sharpest claws in front of him.
If Hearst did not bring Anaya back, Layla would not have kidnapped
Nikki.
Hearst lightly said, "I have already decided to marry Ana."
What he said indirectly rejected Layla.
