Chapter 314 Kidnappers


    In the room, Elyse busied herself with preparing gifts for her friends, intending to express her gratitude for their support.


    Just then, the persistent ringing of her phone shattered the tranquility. Despite her instinctual desire to ignore it, Mabel''s relentless calls < refused to be dismissed.


    "Why are you calling?" Elyse''s brow furrowed as she reluctantly answered the phone, her tone betraying a hint of irritation.


    Mabel''s voice dripped with sarcasm as she spoke. "I jumped from the building because of you. Yet, you won''t even bother to e see me? How could I be saddled with such a cold-blooded and ruthless sister?"


    Setting aside the sheet music she had been holding, Elyse''s voice turned cold as she responded, "You jumped off the building because of me? Are you suggesting that I forced you to mit suicide?"


    Mabel''s disdain twisted her lips. "Wasn''t it? Why couldn''t you let me use your works? You weren''t nning to release them anyway, so why couldn''t I?"


    "You''ve really opened my eyes!" Elyse''s tone dripped with anger


    Mabel uttered in a hushed tone, "If you still regard me as your sister, e to the hospital. I have something important to share with you."


    "I won''t!" Elyse refused firmly, without a moment''s


    "Do you truly wish me dead?" Mabel''s voice rose. "Now the entire inte is hurling curses at me.


    Do you wish for my demise? If that''s your desire, then I might as well end it all right now!"N?velDrama.Org owns all ? content.


    Exhausted, Elyse massaged her temples. She didn''t want to engage with Mabel, but the thought


    of Mabel resorting to suicide again made her relent.


    Reluctantly, she promised. "What is it that you want to discuss?"


    "e to the hospital first. I''ll exin when you get here," Mabel responded before abruptly ending the call.


    With a somber expression, Elyse grabbed her coat and left the room.


    Observing Elyse''s somber demeanor and her intention to leave, Driscoll voiced his concern gently. "Considering your recent recovery from your knee injuries, perhaps it would be best if you stayed


    ins"


    "I''l be fine. I need to visit my sister at the hospital. I won''t be gone for long." Elyse assured, waving away Driscoll''s concerns.


    This time, Driscoll remained silent and instructed the driver to prepare the car.


    Upon arriving at the hospital, Elyse followed the directions provided by Mabel and found herself at the back entrance of the hospital.


    With no one else in sight, Elyse furrowed her brows and questioned, "What did you want to discuss?"


    Meeting her gaze with a solemn expression, Mabel beckoned her closer. Under Elyse''s puzzled stare, Mabel offered a smile. "Could you lend me eighty million??6n


    "Eighty million! Why on earth do you need such a vast sum?" Elyse gasped in disbelief.


    "owe my agency eighty million, and it''s all because of you. Your actions led to my ban from the industry, and now I have to pay liquidated damages. It''s all your doing!" Mabel''s voice dripped with usation.


    Elyse seethed with anger. "You''re still as obstinate as ever, and you''ve learned nothing."


    Tilting her head, Mabel''s smile remained innocent yet cold. "So, will you not help me, even with a husband as wealthy as yours?"


    Elyse remained silent, her gaze fixed on Mabel.


    As Mabel''s smile faded, a tumult of emotions danced in her eyes, gradually giving way to desperation. "If Dad discovers my debt, he''ll surely end me."


    Elyse, her lips tightly pressed together, inquired, "And you believe I should rescue you from this predicament? Dream on!"


    "Elyse, you''re hardly worthy of being called my sister. Someone like you deserves damnation!" Mabel''s voice echoed with a primal intensity, her eyes darting around as if addressing an unseen presence. "Don''t let her escape!"


    Who was she talking to? Though alone, Elyse sensed a presence behind her, a hand mping over her mouth before she could react, stifling any protest to a mere whimper.


    With a manic grin, Mabel taunted, "Your game''s up, Elyse. But your demise could me eighty million."


    Before she could say more, a sleek ck car pulled up and two men swiftly ushered Elyse inside. The other two went directly to Mabel.


    Mabel had assumed they were there to offer her financial assistance. Just as she was about to utter a word, the two individuals seized her arms and forcibly dragged her towards the waiting car, paying no heed to her injured leg.


    Amidst cries of pain, Mabel pleaded, "Why are you taking me away? Just take Elyse instead!" Seated in the car, Elyse''s limbs bound and her mouth muffled by rags, she could only seethe with the desire to reprimand Mabel for her actions.


    Elyse was shocked by Mabel''s actions, realizing that such foolish and malicious behavior could exist.
