Never Too Far Novel

Chapter 1741-1750

In disbelief, Ellen looked at the bespectacled man and heard him say with irritation as he took off his glasses, “I can’t f*cking get used to wearing these.”

Ellen widened her eyes and realized that the accident involving Brook was intentional and it was a setup for her kidnapping.

At that moment, she heard a man in the front passenger seat making a phone call and saying, “I’ve got the person you wanted. In two hours, you hand over the money, and I’ll hand over the person.”

Just then, Ellen’s cell phone rang, and one of the men rudely opened her bag and grabbed the cell phone. Ellen saw the name on the screen and struggled excitedly because the caller was Jared.

“Decline it,” the leading man ordered.

The lackey immediately declined the phone call. Ellen wanted to kick the van door for help, but she was warned by another man who held her down, “You little brat, be obedient if you don’t want to die right now.”

Ellen didn’t know this group of people at all. It seemed that someone else was behind her kidnapping.

Who is it? Who paid to have me kidnapped?

In the head office of the Presgrave Group, Jared stared at his phone screen. He called again. The call went through but was terminated on the other end in three seconds. Ellen’s cell phone was turned off when he called again for the third time.

An ominous feeling instantly enveloped his heart.

She hung up on me twice and then turned off her phone. What happened?

Jared immediately summoned Stanley and told him about this. The latter was also surprised and asked, “Is Miss Reiss still in the residential area?”

“Call the residential area and see if Ellen has left. Hurry up,” Jared ordered.

Stanley immediately investigated. Ten minutes later, the security on the other end responded that Ellen had left the residential area an hour ago.

“Miss Reiss left the residential area.”

“Has she been involved in an accident?” Jared clenched his fists, and his strong sense of worry surged up.

“Did Miss Reiss tell you anything?”

“No. I think she does not want to bother me because I’ve been busy these past few days,” Jared said. Then, he instructed Stanley, “Contact the police for help. I’ll go back to the residential area.”

“Okay!” Stanley quickly left, not daring to waste a second.

…

After receiving the phone call, Gavin grabbed a bag and left his home. He saw the security guards from the Presgrave Group, who were still monitoring him. So, he approached them and knocked on the car window to say, “You can go back now. I’m just going for a ride.”

The security guards were startled. They had received orders from Presgrave Group to ensure that Gavin would not do anything that would harm the company. However, now that they saw him with a bag planning to go out to relax, they decided to return to the company.

However, Gavin did not notice a black SUV parked in an inconspicuous location nearby. These were Jared’s bodyguards. Gavin was an uncertain factor. With only the company’s security guards monitoring him, Jared could not relax. Ultimately, he assigned two more of his bodyguards to watch over Gavin.

After the company’s car left, Gavin walked towards his car and drove out of the parking lot. He went to a small forest on the outskirts because he had decided to hold a posthumous marriage ceremony there. He wanted to use Ellen as a sacrifice for his son. He had already lost all hope and only wanted to die quickly. Therefore, he was willing to do even the cruelest things.

“Jason, Daddy is here. Wait a little longer, and I will see you in another world. Oh, I also brought a beautiful bride for you,” Gavin muttered in the car.

He did not notice the black car following him.

When Jared returned home, he found that Ellen had bought some household items but had not yet unpacked them. She probably left in a hurry. Jared tried hard to think whom Ellen cared most about now. She had already stopped contact with Connor, so her chess master, Brook, was probably the one she cared about the most.

Immediately, Jared found the number of the chess club and dialed it.

“Hello.”

“Is Mr. Linton there?”

“He is not here. He got into a minor car accident and is hospitalized.”

“When did it happen?” Jared was shocked.

Did Ellen rush to the hospital?

“Two hours ago.”

“Can you give me his phone number, please? Thank you.”

After getting the phone number, Jared immediately called Brook, who picked up the phone in no time.

“Hello. Who is this?”

“Mr. Linton, I am Jared. Is Ellen with you?”

“She left. Hasn’t she arrived home yet?”

“Was she alone?”

“Yes, she came alone and left alone.”

“Which hospital are you at?”

After getting the hospital’s address, Jared sent Stanley to the police station to retrieve the roadside surveillance footage. Although it took some time, Stanley returned with good and bad news.

The good news was that they found Ellen, but the bad news was that she had been kidnapped.

“President Presgrave, we found through surveillance that Ellen was pushed into an MPV with a fake plate. The police are currently tracking the van.”

Jared’s heart almost jumped out of his throat.

Ellen is kidnapped? Who did it?

“President Presgrave, I think I know someone who might harm Miss Reiss.”

“Who?”

“Gavin Turner. I heard that he’s been mentally unstable since his son died, and he’s been saying that you killed his son. Do you think he could have kidnapped Miss Reiss to get revenge on you?” Stanley guessed.

“Damn it.” Jared clenched his fist.

Gavin might be the one.

He hung up the phone and immediately made another call.

“Hello, President Presgrave.”

“Where is Gavin Turner?!” Jared yelled.

“H-he’s driving out of town. We’re following him. He seems to be going to the outskirts to do something.”

“Follow him closely, don’t lose him. He kidnapped Ellen. Share with me your location and keep in touch.”

“Understood, Young Master. We will do everything to rescue Miss Reiss,” the bodyguard responded.

On the road in the direction of the new city, a black sports car raced towards the direction of the elevated road like lightning. Three black SUVs followed at the same speed.

Ellen, who was being tied up in the van at the moment, was in despair. She couldn’t figure out whom she had offended.

Thinking about how these people deliberately hit Brook with their car to kidnap her, she became even angrier.

She didn’t know how long she had stayed in the van, but she felt they had already left the city. The scenery outside the window was lush as if they were driving towards an uninhabited forest.

Finally, the van stopped by an abandoned reservoir. She was pushed out of the van and tied to a tree by this group of people. It seems they are waiting for the person who asked them to kidnap me.

Their eyes scanned her maliciously, making her very uncomfortable, and they occasionally let out nasty laughs.

However, Ellen soon calmed down. She remembered that these bandits had hung up on two phone calls from Jared.

Would that have caught Jared’s attention? Will he be looking for me now?

Ellen used not to fear death, but now she was scared. She suddenly couldn’t bear to leave this world, couldn’t bear to leave Jared, and couldn’t bear to let her baby in her belly disappear with her.

In the meantime, Gavin’s car was also on the way, and he was driving fast. He wanted to finish this as soon as possible and not let anything go wrong. Soon, he drove into a small road with a reservoir name written on it.

When the bodyguards behind caught up to this intersection, they stopped first. They knew that following too closely would attract Gavin’s attention. He would most likely call the kidnappers to kill the hostage if he found he was being followed.

The bodyguards immediately checked the map of this road and found that it was a dead end. The map showed that a big river, the reservoir, was at the end of the road after six miles.
