Chapter 9 Being Beaten Up

As soon as Amanda came out of the bathroom, she was hit on the head. She fainted even before seeing who the attacker was.

When she woke up, she found herself tied to a chair. It was so dark around that she couldn't see clearly where she was. There was moist air in the room, which made Amanda's heart beat faster inexplicably and she became panic.

"Hello, is anybody here? Is anyone there? " Amanda cried out in a loud voice. Her face turned pale with fear, as if the blood all over her body had been sucked out in an instant.

The automatic iron door rolled up slowly, and a dazzling white light came in from outside, driving away the darkness inch by inch, and revealing the whole warehouse. Seeing the room clearly, Amanda suddenly got nervous, and she was so scared that she even could not breathe.

A middle-aged man in the paint worker's clothes came in from outside. With a fat face and a big beer belly, he walked towards Amanda step by step.

"You finally wake up." Judging from the voice, he seemed to be impatient.

"You kidnapped me here?" Amanda stared at the man's face. In the light, her face looked paler. There was an undisguised fear in her voice. She asked, "Who are you? Why did you kidnap me? What do you want? "

"Miss Amanda, we met each other not long before. But now you've forgot me?" The man looked at Amanda with hatred and a gloomy expression.

Looking at the man's slightly angry expression, Amanda instantly understood that this should have something to do with those forgotten memories. Normally, Amanda would curse, but unfortunately, she couldn't do it now. Unknown fear stole over her, and her heart was beating even faster.

Amanda looked at the man in front of her with a pale face, and was so scared that she almost cried out. "I don't remember. I have lost my memory, and I can't remember what happened in the past at all. Let me go, please? If I did something wrong to you before, I will make an apology, okay? Please don't lock me here. I beg you. I'm afraid! "

As if there were some dangerous creatures staring at her, Amanda's hair stood on end and her whole body trembled with fear. She looked at the man in front of her for help, hoping that he could let her go. She looked pitiful.

The man was amused to see her trembling with fear. "Amanda, where is the arrogance with which you drove me away from the Rocco Company? I haven't hurt you yet! Why are you so scared? Aren't you ashamed to beg so humbly? "

Amanda had no time to care about the man's mockery and her grace. She just wanted to leave this place as soon as possible, so she begged for mercy, "Please, let me go. I'm really afraid. May I apologize to you? Sorry, sorry... "

"Enough!" The man was annoyed by her apology. "In fact, you don't have to be so frightened. I won't hurt you if you do as I tell you."

"What do you want me to do?" Amanda raised her eyes and asked. Her eyes became moist because of fear, which made her look more pitiful.

The man untied her and was sure that she wouldn't be able to escape. He took out his phone and handed it to Amanda, saying, "Call William and ask him to remit to me 5 million immediately. I'll let you go after that."

With the phone in her hand, Amanda was so frightened that her body trembled and her hands were shaking. After hearing what the man said, tears almost rolled down from her eyes. She choked, "William won't listen to me."

"Just do it. Cut the crap!" The man roared.

Amanda glanced at the warehouse in fear and trembled again. She quickly found out the phone number of William and dialed it.

"Who is speaking?" The man's gentle voice still sounded so pleasant even if he grudged saying more.

"William, help me! I'm kidnapped and locked in the warehouse. Please help me. I'm so scared! " Hearing his voice, Amanda couldn't help asking for help before the kidnapper reminded her.

The miserable scream showed that she was suffering some inhuman torture. The man beside her didn't stop her as this was the effect he had expected.

"What? Kidnapping? " The voice over the phone sounded very cold. "What's the condition?"

"He said he wouldn't let me go until you transferred 5 million to his account! William, I know you hate me. But this time, please save me, okay? I'm so scared! " Amanda couldn't help crying out of fear.

"Give the phone to the one with you now."

His voice sounded emotionless, and Amanda didn't know what he was thinking. She was scared and gave the phone to the man beside her with her fingers trembling.

He took it and said before William spoke, "I'm the one who kidnapped Amanda. If you want her to be safe, you must transfer the money to my account. Otherwise, I can't guarantee her safety."

"Really?" William sneered, "Then I hope I can see the news of her death on the newspaper tomorrow morning."

After saying that, William hung up the phone with no hesitation.

The kidnapper was stunned and asked Amanda whose face already went pale, "what does he mean?"

With tears streaming down her face, Amanda said, "He doesn't believe me! I told you that he wouldn't listen to me. He didn't believe I was kidnapped at all. "

After saying that, she suddenly rushed over and grabbed the kidnapper's clothes. "Please, let me go, okay? I beg you! "

"Let you go?" The man looked at Amanda who was shedding tears and said coldly, "Stop daydreaming! I don't believe that William doesn't care about you. As long as William doesn't transfer the money, you have to stay here all the time. "

"No, no!" Amanda screamed and ran towards the door with all her strength. Seeing this, the man knocked Amanda to the ground with a punch. Then he strode out and closed the iron door.

Amanda's stomachache was slightly alleviated. She quickly got up, ran over to the door. She knocked on the door and shouted, "Open the door, open the door, please! Let me go, please. Let me go... "

"I beg you..." Her voice was hoarse, but there was still no response from the outside. Amanda knocked on the door fiercely and her strength ran out quickly. She fell to the ground in despair and looked around in horror with a pair of wet eyes, as if there was something extremely horrible hidden in the darkness, which even made her teeth tremble.

"No, no!" She screamed sadly, with her hands around her waist, her legs bent together. Then she buried her head between her legs, and cried, "No, no!"

"Is anyone here?"

"Who can help me? Who can help me? "

"I'm scared. Help me..."

The setting sun shone through the French window, making the room extremely beautiful.

However, William was not in the mood to appreciate it. He was writing quickly with his head down. There was a large pile of documents on his desk, all of which had just been sent in by various departments for his review, and he had not read them yet.

Suddenly, someone knocked on the door.

Without raising his head, he said, "come in."

"Sir, I can't find Miss Amanda anywhere." Michael replied as he entered the room.

"There is no need to look for her. She just called me and told me that she was kidnapped. Leave her there. You can do your own business." He didn't stop for a moment.

Seeing that William didn't care about it at all, Michael asked doubtfully, "Mr. William, aren't you worried?"

If it had been in the past, William would have left his work and gone out to look for her. He would have wished he could search every corner of the City. But now he was so calm, which was a little abnormal.

"Why should I worry? If you play the same trick too often, no one would believe you." William stopped his work and asked Michael, "Do you think I look like a fool?"

Michael shook his head immediately.

At this moment, even if he thought the CEO was so crazy for love that he actually became a fool, he still couldn't say it, otherwise he would have been dead a hundred times.

Everyone in the business world knew how ruthless William was

William continued in a calm and ruthless voice, "Even if she is really kidnapped, I won't save her either."

He had completely given up the love. Michael understood that and was about to leave.

However, after thinking for a while, he still couldn't help saying, "Mr. William, I think Miss Amanda is different from before."

William took a look at Michael, who still looked indifferent. William didn't know what Michael was thinking. The documents on the table were still waiting for his review, so he had no time to deal with the trifle. He said coldly, "She pretends to be that."

Obviously, he was demanding Michael to leave. Therefore, Michael immediately left the office without hesitation.

William continued to write.

He didn't finish all his work until 11 o'clock in the evening.

At this time, almost all the people in the company had left. He was always the latest to leave.

On their way home, William found that the light in the room was unusually bright. Sarah was waiting for him at the door. William asked in confusion, "what's up?"

With effusions of affection for him in her eyes fading away, Sarah shook her head and said. "It's okay. I can't fall asleep today."

William didn't pay much attention to it. He walked past her and entered the room. Sarah turned around and looked at him, confused. With a trace of expectation in her eyes, she asked, "Mr. William, where is Miss Amanda?"

William stopped and turned to look at Sarah. "Isn't she in the room?"

Sarah shook her head. The expectation in her eyes dimmed gradually.

She thought William had driven Amanda away.

"It's none of your business. Go to sleep!" After saying that, William went back to his room, without noticing the unhappy expression on Sarah's face.

After taking a shower, he lay on the bed and turned off the light. It was time to fall asleep, but for some reason, William suddenly recalled the phone call he had answered in the company this afternoon.

At that time, Amanda sounded really scared, and she seemed to have cried. Although he had dismissed it, but at this moment, he suddenly had a strong feeling that it might be true!

In fact, he didn't want to know whether it was true or not. But somehow, he felt so uneasy.

He decided to believe her for the last time!
