Chapter 248:
“Miss Powell, we have her now. What’s the next step p>
On the other end, Maisie’s voice seethed with malice.
“I want her to live a life worse than death p>
“Consider it handled,” the leader replied.
A sinister chuckle escaped Maisie as she savored the thought of Jenessa’s misery. She had wanted to teach Jenessa a lesson for a long time. In her mind, not acting sooner was already showing mercy.
But then, a flicker of worry crept in.
“Wait a minute. I need to witness her downfall myself,” Maisie declared abruptly.
“Of course, Miss Powell. We look forward to your presence,” the leader affirmed, smiling slyly.
Time seemed to stand still for Jenessa until a profound fear jolted her awake.
As soon as her eyes flickered open, she realized she was bound and helpless, surrounded by the eerie silence of an abandoned factory, its age evident in the rust and decay. A group of grim-faced gangsters loomed before her.
Taking a deep, steadying breath, Jenessa struggled to remain calm despite the situation.
“Oh, you’re awake?” the gang leader sneered, his voice dripping with disdain.
“Well, now that you’re sober, brace yourself for what’s coming p>
Despite her fear, Jenessa doubted these rough men intended to harm her.

“What is it you want? Money? Name your price,” she proposed, her voice steady.
“We’re not interested in your money,” the leader snapped, dismissing her offer with a shake of his head.
Jenessa was stunned. If not money, then what? Surely, these men were being paid by someone else to commit such a bold crime. She racked her brain for the mastermind.
“Listen, you know who Ryan Haynes is, don’t you? CEO of WorldLink Group. We are an item. If you lay a finger on me, he will hunt you down p>
The gang leader gave a conspiratorial wink to his men, who remained indifferent to Jenessa’s claims, unmoved by her supposed influence.
Confusion clouded Jenessa’s thoughts. These men weren’t motivated by money? It seemed likely that whoever was behind this had already filled their pockets handsomely. How deep must their hatred for her run to finance such a plot?
But at that moment, Jenessa had no time to dwell on the identity of her enemy.
“Think this through,” she urged them, her voice firm.
“Kidnapping is a serious crime. You won’t get away with killing me without leaving evidence behind. Let me go, and I promise I won’t speak a word of this. I’ll even pay you p>
Suddenly, a familiar voice pierced the tense air.
“Jenessa, don’t bother struggling. You’re as good as dead today p>
Jenessa’s eyes widened in shock as she turned toward the sound. There, standing with a triumphant grin on her lips, was Maisie.
Jenessa gasped, disbelief and fear mixing in her voice.
“Maisie, are you out of your mind?” she exclaimed, staring at her with shock.
“You orchestrated this? Do you realize the severity of your actions p>
No matter what schemes Maisie had concocted in the past, Jenessa never imagined that Maisie’s resentment could run so deep.
