Chapter 347 - 346
Chapter 347: Chapter 346
"Really? You’re not kidding, right? If that’s the case, doesn’t that mean having a sister-in-law is just around the corner for me!"
Ivy River couldn’t help but sit next to Charlotte Yeaton, "How about striking while the iron is hot, hasn’t Uncle Yeaton been urging you to get married? Has he ever pressured you?"
"He has, but I don’t listen. My dad’s words just go in one ear and out the other, they don’t mean a thing to me."
Charlotte Yeaton was spilling it all.
"Alright, then I get it. Would you consider adding my brother on WeChat? You don’t need to pay me, I’m offering it completely free. Is that okay?"
"No need, your brother and I are friends on WeChat, but we don’t chat because there’s nothing to talk about."
Hearing this, Ivy River felt heartbroken, but she cautiously said, "Why don’t you try taking a small step forward? Once you start, won’t the conversations just flow naturally?"
"Do you have anything else? If not, can we go? I have things to handle at work soon."
Charlotte Yeaton was clearly showing her guest the door.
Ivy River was frustrated.
Not only did she fail to sell her brother,
but she also made herself uncomfortable and spilled all her gossip.
All she got in return was a light promise!
And who knows when that’ll actually be fulfilled, seriously!
Swallowing her displeasure, Ivy River asked, "Can’t you stop being so materialistic? Right now, you have no intention of honoring your promises, but if you ever want to date, wouldn’t you consider my brother first, right?"
"Right!"
Charlotte Yeaton realized she might have gone overboard and added, "Believe me, I’ll definitely consider your brother, that innocent kid, first."
As she finished speaking,
her phone rang.
Seeing the caller, Charlotte Yeaton sighed silently and muted her phone.
Ivy River glanced over and said, "It’s Uncle Yeaton, why aren’t you answering?"
"I don’t feel like it. He’s just making a fuss. He suddenly called this morning to ask if we’re collaborating with your family and wanted me to go home. Honestly, the old man doesn’t care if his daughter is exhausted."
Ivy River consoled her, "Aren’t all old folks like that now? My dad was just pushing marriage at the hospital earlier; imagine how twisted that is."
"Ah! Alright, let’s go, back to the company to get busy. Doctor River, we’re not like you, free as a bird every day."
"Then go ahead, but when you come to Seaton, make sure to invite me for dinner, or come get a check-up and support my career."
Charlotte Yeaton shot Ivy River an annoyed look.
"If your pretty mouth can’t say anything nice, just keep it shut forever!"
"No way, I have to talk. If I don’t, my brother might never get a wife in his life, and I’m waiting for you to be my sister-in-law, then I’ll be your little sister-in-law."
Ivy River’s words successfully drove Charlotte Yeaton away.
Watching her leave, Ivy River couldn’t help but smile, "Interesting, there’s something worth watching here. Maybe my brother will soon be off the market."
...
Inside the abandoned factory in Seaton.
Edwin Blake looked coldly at Brother Tim, "Just tell me simply, who the hell sent you?"
Brother Tim was kneeling, mouth stuffed, unable to do anything but moan.
But Edwin Blake acted as if he couldn’t hear a thing.
Continuing, he said, "I’ll give you three more seconds. If you don’t speak, don’t blame me for being harsh."
Meanwhile, Alexander Hodges was nearby, itching for action.
Brother Tim was desperate.
Thinking, just hit me if you’re going to, no need to yap on.
Sometimes, hitting doesn’t even require reasons or excuses.
It’s simple, just do it.
After all, he was already a lamb to the slaughter.
Alexander Hodges couldn’t wait, and directly punched Brother Tim in the stomach, "Bro, it’s been so long since I’ve hit something this soft, I love it!"
"If you love it, hit it a bit more. Later, I’ll try to find you more of these sofas."
Edwin Blake’s words were cold, like a machine devoid of emotion.
This made Brother Tim deeply worried.
Alexander Hodges excitedly continued his attack.
Just when Brother Tim thought he might die, Edwin Blake finally spoke, "Stop for now."
Brother Tim immediately gave Edwin Blake a grateful look.
Oh my God.
She felt she was about to die just now.
If she knew that kidnapping Isla Sutton would end like this, she definitely wouldn’t have done it!
Next time.
He’d only kidnap Ivy River for sure, what bad luck this was.
Ivy River was also something else, she didn’t even know when she managed to untie herself.
While lost in thought,
Brother Tim heard something that made him tense up again.
"Let him rest for a minute, otherwise waking him up if he faints will be troublesome."
After Edwin Blake finished speaking,
Alexander Hodges reluctantly said, "Bro, you’re making me unhappy, I didn’t feel satisfied. This isn’t fair, boohoo."
"Alright then, you continue. If he faints, you’re responsible for waking him up."
Alexander Hodges pouted, unwilling, "Then forget it, I’ll wait a few minutes before hitting him. When someone wakes up after fainting, they can’t feel much. The pain isn’t as intense then."
Edwin Blake said nothing, went to sit on the sofa.
Lit a cigarette, looked down on Brother Tim.
Brother Tim looked at Edwin Blake with hopeful eyes.
Edwin Blake ignored him, "Alright, continue."
As soon as Alexander Hodges heard this, he resumed his attack.
Who knows how long it took before Alexander Hodges finally stopped, "Alright bro, that’s enough. When my sis-in-law meets him later, what if he doesn’t have any teeth and can’t speak?"
Brother Tim was completely drained, collapsing limply on the ground.
The rag was still stuffed in his mouth.
"Okay, give him a change of clothes tonight. We shouldn’t mistreat captives, right Brother Tim?"
Edwin Blake slowly stood up, pulling the rag from Brother Tim’s mouth, "The infamous Brother Tim, what made you come all the way from Seaton to Riverland City just to grab Ivy River?"
Brother Tim weakly spoke, "Nothing, nothing, just that the employer paid well."
"At the brink of death, you’re still so stubborn!"
Alexander Hodges heard this, immediately infuriated, hitting him again, "Tell me again!"
Brother Tim: "..."
Is this a confession under torture or what?
He still insisted, "It’s because the employer paid well, I’m a desperado... you know, usually all about the money... ah!"
Before he could finish, Alexander Hodges gave him another hard hit, then shouted at Edwin Blake, "Bro, this guy’s not honest. Can I just take him out? Seriously."
"No, any more of this and you’re getting out of here. Don’t try to test my limits."
Edwin Blake spoke languidly, but his demeanor was growing more unsettling.
Seeing this, Brother Tim immediately used all his strength to shout, "President Hodges, please just let me go, we have no reason to be like this, stop hitting me, President Blake... ah!"
Alexander Hodges stepped forward, scaring Brother Tim, who quickly yelled, "I was wrong! I really know I was wrong!"
"President Blake, I’ll tell you everything, just ask, I promise to be completely honest."
Edwin Blake asked coldly, "What’s your relationship with Isla Sutton?"
Brother Tim was instantly dumbfounded, stunned into silence.
