Right Person, Wrong Time

Chapter 1040 The Kidnappers

The group of people then boarded the plane. Throughout the journey, Colton's eyebrows remained furrowed, never relaxing, as he continuously fiddled with his phone.

Ever since Beryl got on the plane, he had been focused on his computer to meticulously sift through information. After what seemed like a long time, he finally spoke up. "I found it. The two men who kidnapped Wendy are associated with A."

Colton's eyebrows furrowed even tighter as he couldn't recall any instance where the Gardner Corporation had offended A.

"Do we know why they targeted Wendy?" he asked in a low and grave voice.

"Currently, it remains unclear. However, there have been rumors that Jerry, the leader of A, had spent an entire week in a woman's company. After their seven-day affair, he abruptly commanded Wendy to be kidnapped."

Beryl could only make deductions based on small details.

A woman?

Colton rested his chin on his hand, deep in thought. He could easily count the number of women he had offended.

Evelyn couldn't get involved with Jerry, leaving Sasha as the only possibility.

Alvin's death had taken a toll on Sasha. Although Roger and the others were responsible for the interrogation, Alvin's body was already heavily poisoned then. He never stood a chance.

He remembered when they were searching for a doctor, and the doctor expressed astonishment, saying they had never seen someone with so many different types of poison in their body. Even if Alvin were to survive the ordeal then, his body wouldn't have lasted another six months.

If the Undercity and A had indeed formed an alliance, it would undoubtedly complicate matters.

Initially, Colton had only considered Sasha targeting himself and Nicole. However, he hadn't expected her to have gone to such extremes as to harm Wendy.

His eyes grew slightly darker, his hand on the table slowly clenching as his expression became more burdened.

Jerry was involved in the arms business and drug trade. If he had truly done something to Wendy, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Wendy was young, having just come of age this year, and her life had always been sheltered by the family and shielded from hardships.

Anna believed that she didn't need to strive for success as long as Colton was there to bear the burden. As a result, she showered Wendy with utmost indulgence.

"It's likely a collaboration between Undercity and A," Nicole commented.

Nicole was familiar with Jerry's reputation. She furrowed her brow and added, "This man isn't easy to deal with. Despite his outward appearance of reveling in luxury and women, he's a cunning individual. I have had several encounters with him back when I was handling arms deals for Lome."

Jerry, a blond foreigner, always wore a sly smirk on his face, yet his actions were swift and resolute. He was not to be underestimated.

Nicole was intrigued. How did Sasha get involved with Jerry? Jerry's arms trade business boasted numerous connections. If the two factions joined forces, it would prove difficult to handle.

"Yeah," Colton responded quietly. Although he had never engaged in direct conversation with Jerry, Dominic had warned that he was not someone to be trifled with.

Beryl looked up at him, his expression filled with concern. After a moment of contemplation, he said, "Boss, if you go there this time, I'm afraid it'll be hard to conceal your identity."

In the past, Julian had always been responsible for handling matters related to Wolf. Now that Colton was taking charge and discussing these matters, his identity as the man behind the scenes would likely prove difficult to suppress.

Colton was well aware of this, but when it came to his own biological sister, he had no choice. "I know, and I have no intention of hiding it. Since they want it this way, then I'll meet them face to face." Seeing Colton's resolute expression, Beryl didn't say anything further.

"So, should we head directly to A?" he asked.

"Yes. Inform Dominic and ask him to come and guide us to meet this Jerry." Colton nodded.

He didn't want to waste a single moment now. If something truly happened to Wendy, he would carry the guilt for the rest of his life.
