Right Person, Wrong Time

Chapter 1079 Will He Still Want You?

Rita was no stranger to such a crisis. As the men dragged Nicole away, she immediately shouted at them.

"Back off! Nicole is the granddaughter of the Gould Family and the future Mrs. Gardner! Aren't you afraid of the consequences? We'll come after you!"

The kidnappers wore balaclavas to conceal their identities. For a moment, Rita's angry face rooted their feet to the ground.

However, the head of the gang could tell it was a bluff. Thus, he barked an order at his lackeys. "Stop talking. Just take the girl and go."

At that, the men began to take Nicole away. Rita stepped in to stop them, but she was considered weak at this age compared to the strong men. As soon as she touched them, a man shoved her to the ground.

Rita screamed, "Somebody, help! These men are trying to kidnap a person!" Her voice was loud and clear, grabbing nearby pedestrians' attention.

Her resistance annoyed one of the men. He threw a punch at her head, knocking her unconscious within a second.

Watching Rita fall to the ground, Nicole panicked. She warned the men, "I'm the daughter of the Wrenn Family. You're laying a finger on me, eh? Do you have a death wish?"

However, there was no turning back at this point. Nicole was trapped between two men with no room to move. Anger coated her expression as she watched the elderly woman lying on the ground.

The men dragged her toward the car. When the right time came, Nicole jumped. Before the men could react, she raised her knee and kicked one of the men in the crotch.

The man's face twisted in pain, and she managed to slip away from his grasp when he wasn't paying attention.

Nicole hurried over to Rita's side. These men are strong. What if their punch kills her?

Fortunately, Nicole could feel Rita's fluttering pulse, indicating the elderly woman was only unconscious. The former sighed in relief when the man began to stride over to her.

I can't leave her like this and run off alone!

She raised her chin to watch the man and coldly remarked, "Kidnapping me means opposing the Wrenn Family, the Gould Family, and the Gardner Family."

The man wasn't expecting Nicole to be this calm in such a situation. Narrowing his eyes, he regarded her before scoffing. "We took the job. We know what we are facing."

Nicole watched the man with a stern look in her eyes. He has made up his mind. I stand no chance of convincing him.

After removing her coat, she put it under Rita's head before rising to her feet. "Fine. I'll go with you, then. Don't hurt her."

The man was taken aback by her sudden cooperation. Meanwhile, the man who got kicked gritted his teeth, his face contorting in anger as his eyes landed on her. "Boss, don't listen to her! She is tougher than you think."

The leader waved a hand at his men. At his gesture, the men shoved Nicole into the car.

As the car drove away, people gathered around Rita. Nicole sighed in relief at the sight. She did a quick check-up on Rita a few moments ago and knew that she was fine. She'll be okay after receiving professional medical treatment in the hospital.

A while later, a man on the side suddenly took out a handkerchief to cover her nose and mouth. Nicole allowed him. Soon, her vision blurred before she passed out in her seat and fell into a dreamless sleep.

Nicole woke up to find herself in a dark room. Her hands and feet were bound with ropes. There was no chance she could get her limbs out of it.

Even so, she tried to wriggle her hands. After a few fruitless attempts, she gave up.

"How are you feeling, my dear sister?" Suddenly, she heard an overly sweet voice. She raised her head in that direction and found Queenie.

Watching the tied-up woman, Queenie leaned closer. Smiling from ear to ear, she drawled, "Nicole, I wonder if Colton will still want you after a group of men defiled you?"
