The man’s lips curled into a smug sneer as he reached out and grabbed Eleanor Bishop tightly. "Let you go? You think that’s possible?"

Her face pale with terror, Eleanor Bishop twisted her head toward the main road and screamed, "Someone, help me! Help!"

"Bitch! Shut up!" Seeing Eleanor screaming, the man yanked her hair hard, forcing his face close to hers. "If you don’t want to die, come with me quietly!" he snarled. "Otherwise, I’ll fucking kill you!"

His words sent another shiver of fear through Eleanor. "What do you want? I don’t have any money. Kidnapping me is useless."

"Who said I wanted money?" The man thought she was an idiot.

"Then what do you want?" Eleanor had already started to cry, her voice a low sob.

’Why am I so unlucky...’

"Hahaha, interesting. You think money is the only thing people get kidnapped for?"

Eleanor clearly hadn’t considered what else he could want besides money. Just then, another shiver ran through her as a horrifying possibility dawned on her. She shoved the man away and broke into a run, heading back toward the Jazz Dynasty.

When the man saw Eleanor run, he immediately gave chase.

Just then, Jason Lockwood emerged from the main entrance, flanked by a group of bodyguards. The moment she saw him, Eleanor didn’t hesitate, screaming, "Jason Lockwood, save me! Jason Lockwood, save me!!"

Jason turned at the sound of her voice. When he saw Eleanor, his handsome brow furrowed coldly.

But when his gaze shifted to the man chasing her, his expression turned grim.

Upon seeing Jason Lockwood, the man stopped chasing Eleanor. He stared at Jason, his eyes filled with fear.

Jason, however, simply let a cold smile touch his lips. He turned away as if he hadn’t seen Eleanor at all, adjusted his cufflink, and strode toward the car parked by the roadside.

Seeing Jason ignore her, Eleanor screamed through her tears, "Jason Lockwood, you bastard!"

Seeing that Jason wasn’t going to intervene, a sinister smile spread across the man’s face. He lunged forward and grabbed Eleanor’s arm. "Well, little beauty, looks like you’ll have to accept your fate. Come with me."

"Let me go! Let me go!" Eleanor furiously tried to shake the man off again.

The man was clearly out of patience. This time, he simply slapped her across the face. "Bitch, don’t make me do this the hard way! Come quietly, and I’ll make it worth your while!"

"Let go of me! I don’t even know you! Why should I go with you?"

"You bastard! You scoundrel! Let me go!"

Ignoring Eleanor’s frantic struggles and curses, the man simply bent down and threw her over his shoulder.

Meanwhile, in the car.

Jason Lockwood casually unfastened a cufflink. "Call Leon Warren," he said in a cold voice. "Tell him not to touch that woman. Not yet."

"Yes, sir."

An idea seemed to occur to Jason, and a sinister smile played on his lips. "Now, call Archie Lockwood. Tell him if he doesn’t want Eleanor Bishop to die, he will sign away his inheritance rights. Otherwise, he can get ready to collect her body."

"Yes, sir."

’He hadn’t intended to kidnap Eleanor himself, but this Leon Warren had just given him an idea...’

’Perhaps kidnapping Eleanor was a more direct solution after all. This time, he would see if Archie Lockwood would really give up his inheritance for her...’
