Goodbye, Ex-husband! I’m Pregnant with Your Uncle’s Child!
Chapter 123 Hahahaha

Chapter 123: Chapter 123 Hahahaha

The bodyguard frowned and said to Julia Land on the phone, "This morning at six o’clock, Miss Langston and her mother went home to make soup."

"We were all waiting downstairs, and around seven, we didn’t see them come down. We estimated the time it takes to make soup and then called to ask what was going on."

The bodyguard was very alert.

They were just at home, and then they vanished.

"We assume they’re still in some room in this building, so we’ve called the police."

As a bodyguard, you can’t just search other people’s homes without a good reason.

Although one usually waits twenty-four hours before reporting a disappearance, the police will still take a case when personal safety is involved.

But while waiting for a house-to-house search, something might have happened to Austin Langston.

There are a total of thirty-six homes in the building.

Julia Land was sitting in the car, anxious, but she still forced herself to remain calm, "You go find the community security guards, then knock on each door and ask around, saying that you’ve smelled something burning."

Most residents will open the door when there are community security guards present, and this time of day some people might have gone to work.

Julia hung up with the bodyguard. She had intended to call James Thompson.

However, Thompson had mentioned that he had a surgery scheduled this morning when he left early.

Julia immediately called Jasper Winters, "Assistant Winters, is there a way to quickly get the utility payment records for the past three months for every resident in Happy Garden?"

Out of thirty-six accounts, at least the most suspicious could be sifted through.

Jasper Winters, "Miss Land, I’ll do it as fast as I can."

He didn’t even have time to ask why she was in such a hurry.

When Jasper Winters said he’d move quickly, he meant it.

After all, if things went well, Miss Land would be his boss.

When Julia Land arrived at Happy Garden, Jasper had just sent her the utility payment data.

For now, disregard the population of each household.

Some residents live there permanently, others are tenants, and some are hardly there at all.

Based on the information sent by Jasper, at least the homes of permanent residents were ruled out first.

"9th floor, Apartment 201, 11th floor, Apartment 201, 13th floor, Apartment 101..."

Julia handed the data to the bodyguards beside her, and everyone split up to search. They arrived just as the plainclothes police officers were also getting there.

"After this job’s done, we can rest for a long time."

"This chick is a celeb, pretty face, tender skin; she’s a real treat to touch."

The lewd tone of the man’s voice made Austin Langston tremble with fear. Not long before, she had completely lost consciousness.

Her mouth was gagged, and her eyes were blindfolded. She couldn’t see what was happening.

When she tried to move, she sensed someone else beside her and guessed it might be her mother.

They had been busy in the kitchen that morning.

The doorbell rang.

Abigail Fields asked Austin to wash the vegetables while she checked who it was.

She normally didn’t open the door to strangers, but she saw it was the young man who had helped David Langston a few days ago.

She opened the door and saw most of the young man’s body dripping wet.

The young man looked at her in surprise, "Auntie, what a coincidence, I’m a new neighbor next door, and my water pipe burst. Do you know where the building’s water shutoff valve is?"

Abigail looked toward the next-door apartment, which was closed. Before she could say anything, the young man sprayed something at her from a canister.

Austin stepped out of the kitchen to see who her mother was talking to and was sprayed in the face too.

She knew nothing about what happened afterward.

"Move quickly, strip her and start recording and taking photos," said the previously honest-looking young man, now with a brutal expression on his face.

His name was Felix Hayes.

He used to earn just a few thousand a month from odd jobs, barely making ends meet.

By chance, he met someone who sold "Compliance Liquid" and started doing these shady jobs.

"Bro, stripping her’s my specialty," the sleazy man said, approaching Austin.

Austin also realized by now what these men intended to do.

Struggling was futile; the ropes on her wrists and body were tied tight.

Her body was being groped.

Her pants were violently yanked off.

Austin couldn’t stay calm anymore, and her tears began to flow.

The lewd man looked over her.

"Just a bit too small here."

"Make it quick; some strange men have shown up downstairs." Felix Hayes held binoculars and looked out the window down at the street, frowning and urging them on.

They were only there to take photos and record video, nothing as severe as murder or arson. The quicker they were, the faster they could escape.

The lewd man, feeling it was a pity, hurried to take photos and record.

"All done, bro, let’s go."

They had already planned their escape route.

＊＊

Austin Langston’s home was on the 9th floor, Apartment 101. The apartment next door, 9th floor, Apartment 201, had no record of utility payments in the last three months.

Julia Land had no time to think more about it; she just had someone pry the door open and get in.

She wasn’t considering the compensation or the lawsuit that might follow.

9th floor, room 201, no one could be found.

She looked upwards and took people up to the 11th floor, room 201.

There they found Austin Langston and Abigail Fields.

The moment Julia Land saw Austin Langston, her eyes turned red in an instant. A bodyguard took off his coat and handed it to Julia Land as he went to untie Abigail Fields.

Julia Land covered Austin with the coat, removed the blindfold, and used a knife in her hand to cut the ropes, "We’re going to the hospital."

Austin’s body trembled, non-stop. He first turned his head to look at his mother.

"She must have been drugged into unconsciousness," said the bodyguard.

"They took photos, recorded... recorded videos," Austin said, swallowing hard.

Julia Land wiped away Austin’s tears.

She looked up at the bodyguard, who nodded.

They took them to the hospital, where the doctor examined Austin and his mother and found them to be in normal health.

Abigail Fields had inhaled more of the drug, so it would take some time before she could be awakened.

Julia Land stood at the door of the hospital room, glancing at Austin curled up on the hospital bed.

She walked out of the hospital, got into the car, and called Arabella Shaw.

"Was it you who did this?"

The only person Julia Land could think of was Arabella Shaw.

Arabella Shaw was applying ointment to her swollen face when she heard Julia Land’s voice, raising an eyebrow, "Miss Land, what are you talking about? What did I do?"

Julia Land’s face darkened, "The matter with Austin Langston."

Arabella Shaw laughed indifferently, "Miss Land, what are you talking about exactly?"

Julia Land knew Arabella Shaw wouldn’t admit to it.

Arabella Shaw wasn’t a fool.

"Let’s meet and talk."

"No need to meet, we have nothing to talk about," Arabella Shaw chuckled, covering her mouth. It seemed that the person had succeeded.

Julia Land coolly suggested, "How about we exchange Autumn Knowles’ information for a meeting?"

Arabella Shaw paused. She wasn’t afraid to meet Julia Land; she would bring a bodyguard.

"Fine, but I’ll set the place for the meeting. Give me Autumn Knowles’ information first."

"You think I’m stupid? If I give it to you and you go back on your word, what then? It was me who introduced Autumn Knowles to Austin Langston. I wanted to see you suppressed in music by someone who once bullied you."

Julia Land said with a cold, feigned voice, "A meeting? There is one more thing I want to ask you in person."

Arabella Shaw was almost infuriated, realizing it was Julia Land who had introduced Autumn Knowles to Austin Langston.

She was confident Julia Land wouldn’t dare to do anything to her and agreed to the meeting.

Actually, Arabella Shaw also wanted to see what Julia Land looked like with her eyes red from crying.

She told Julia Land, "Let’s meet at West Wealth Restaurant."

＊

Meanwhile, at West Wealth Restaurant.

Arabella Shaw watched as Julia Land walked in, about to greet her with a smile when she was yanked up by her hair by Julia Land.

"Ah! Julia Land, you’re crazy! Let go!"

The bodyguards protecting Arabella Shaw were stopped by the people Julia Land brought with her.

Those dining at West Wealth Restaurant today were all shocked by the scuffle between the two women.

Both were wearing masks, so they couldn’t be recognized for the moment.

The restaurant manager hurriedly called the police.

Julia Land, holding onto Arabella Shaw’s hair, dragged her into the women’s restroom. A girl just came out of the toilet and, seeing the two women fighting, quickly ran out.

Julia Land, with a stern face, pushed open the door of one of the stalls.

When she was angry, she had an explosive power.

She viciously pressed Arabella Shaw’s entire head into the toilet water and fiercely kicked the back of Arabella Shaw’s knee.

Arabella Shaw knelt down and involuntarily inhaled the toilet water, struggling, but the hand holding her head down wouldn’t let go.

The sensation of nearing death.

Just when she thought she was about to suffocate, she breathed fresh air again.

Then, her skirt for the day was lifted, Arabella Shaw tried to stand but was kicked hard in the stomach by Julia Land.

Julia Land took Arabella Shaw’s underwear off and snapped several pictures with a cell phone, then peeled open Arabella Shaw’s clothing, her fingers trembling as she held the phone recording.

She didn’t like using such methods against girls.

She was driven to the brink.

Arabella Shaw guessed that Julia Land wouldn’t dare to kill her and with a look full of hatred, she said to Julia Land, "Julia Land, I will call the police and they will arrest you!"

Julia Land sent the photos and video to her email, put away her phone, and looked indifferently at the disheveled Arabella Shaw.

"Just a brawl, you’ll be out after being detained for a while. Do you dare to speak out about the photos?"

Arabella Shaw truly didn’t dare.

Just as Julia Land was about to leave, Arabella Shaw gasped and chuckled, "Julia Land, do you remember when you accompanied Noah on a business trip a year ago?"

Julia Land looked down at the woman on the floor.

Unable to resist a grin, Arabella Shaw said manically, "That time in the hotel, you were done by a street beggar."

She deliberately didn’t say that man was James Thompson, betting that Thompson hadn’t told Julia Land about it, considering that back then, Julia Land was in love with Noah Quarter.

"A beggar had you, oh, a street beggar, hahaha."
