Chapter 340 Do it

The figure looked very tall.

Gizem could sense that he wasn’t afraid as she looked at his straightened back.

It was pitch black in the study, so she couldn’t see his face clearly.

“Who are you?” she asked.

How could he not be afraid at all?

“Where’s my daughter?” the man asked in an icy tone.

Gizem was stumped.

Samuel? What is he doing here?

Samuel was about to turn around when Gizem threatened, “I’m holding a gun in my hand, Samuel. Don’t move if you don’t want a hole in your kidney.”

“You think you can do that?” Samuel sneered.

Then, he turned around swiftly. In the dark, he stared at her coldly with deep eyes.

Gizem had already put on her hyper-realistic mask.

Thus, Samuel wasn’t able to see her real face.

“I wasn’t the one who kidnapped Desi, Samuel. Please believe in me.” Slowly, Gizem lowered her gun.

She hoped Samuel could feel her sincerity.

Samuel remained silent while wearing a glacial expression.

The next moment, he grabbed Gizem’s arm, twisted it hard, and snatched the gun.

“Where is my daughter? I won’t let you off if anything happens to her,” he said as he pointed the gun at Gizem’s forehead.

A feeling of bitterness crept into Gizem’s heart after she saw Samuel’s behavior.

“Samuel, I didn’t kidnap Desi. Please believe in me.” Gizem never felt aggrieved, but despair filled her when she saw Samuel suspecting her.

The glowing moonlight shone into the study. With its aid, Samuel stared straight into Gizem’s dark eyes.

Her eyes looked too identical to Kathleen’s.

Therefore, he couldn’t bring himself to kill her.

Moreover, he knew it wasn’t Gizem who kidnapped Desi.

For some reason, after he saw the back of the woman in the surveillance footage, he was certain that she wasn’t Gizem.

Gizem’s heart started pounding hard.

She didn’t know when Samuel would pull the trigger.

A few minutes elapsed, but Samuel didn’t seem to have the intention to kill her.

“Samuel, please give me three days. I’ll bring Desi back by then,” Gizem promised.

“Do you think I’ll let you go after capturing you?” He spoke in an aloof tone as he stared at her.

“You can’t save Desi if you behave like this, Samuel. I’m looking for the person who kidnapped her. I’m telling the truth,” Gizem explained desperately. “Let me go. Otherwise, it will be too late. I’m afraid something bad will happen to Desi.”

“I can let you go, only if you let me place this in your body.” Samuel’s eyes appeared icy.

He proceeded to take out a tiny box.

“What’s that?” Gizem was shocked.

“It’s a GPS tracker.”

What?

Gizem stared at him in disbelief.

“What? You’re scared?” Samuel said indifferently. He continued, “You can’t take this out once it’s placed in your body.”

Gizem pursed her lips.

Does that mean he gets to monitor my movements for the rest of my life?

However, she didn’t have a choice now.

Saving Desi was her priority.

Also, she knew Samuel was doing this for Desi too.

“All right.” She nodded lightly. “Are you going to let me go if I accept your condition?”

“Of course.”

“Let’s do it then.”

Samuel pursed his thin lips and lowered the gun.

Then, Gizem turned around to switch on the lights.

“Do it.” She sat on the couch, and took off her coat and top, leaving only a sports tank top inside.

Samuel was taken aback by how easygoing she was.

All Gizem wanted was to speed things up as she didn’t want to waste even a second.

Samuel walked over and sat next to her.

“Now that things turned out this way, can you tell me what you have to do with Axeworth Corporation?” he asked softly.

Gizem was hesitant. “I’m from that organization.”

Samuel wasn’t surprised. “So, you approached me because of Desi?”

“I…” Gizem was stunned by that question.

She was at a loss for words.

Before, she wasn’t aware of Theodore’s motive.

Now that she did, she didn’t know how to explain things to Samuel.

Since she remained silent, Samuel didn’t probe.

He inserted the small chip into her arm.

During the whole process, Gizem made no sound at all.

She was very calm, and there was no unnecessary emotion on her face.

“Done.” Samuel stood up and kept a distance from her. “If there’s no news from you in three days-”

“I’ll do whatever you say.” Gizem put on her clothes.

Then, she turned around and got ready to leave.

“You used to live here?” Samuel asked indifferently.

“Yes.”

With that, Gizem walked off.

Samuel narrowed his eyes.

After that, he looked around the mansion and found Gizem’s room.

The furnishing of her room was very simple and unadorned.

In fact, there weren’t many feminine items.

Also, there were not many traces of Gizem’s life. However, it was definite that she did live here before.

The only thing that Samuel found strange was that he couldn’t replace a single picture of Gizem before her face got disfigured.

It was just too strange.

Samuel wasn’t sure if Gizem disliked having pictures of herself taken or if she had burned all her previous pictures after her disfigurement.

That woman is such an oddball.

Samuel remained expressionless.

Just then, Charles walked into the room.

“Samuel, have you found Desi?” he asked agitatedly.

Samuel turned around. “Not yet.”

“D*mn it!” Charles was enraged. “You asked me to come here. What’s this place?”

“The residence of Axeworth Corporation’s leader,” Samuel answered.

What?

“How did you replace this place?” Charles was surprised.

He had been searching for this place for a long time but to no avail.

“I asked someone else to investigate,” Samuel said coldly. “I found this picture in the master bedroom just now. Look.”

Huh?

Charles was puzzled.

When Samuel handed a picture of Theodore to him, his eyes widened instantly.

That’s him! It really is him! He took Kathleen away back then. Where is Kathleen now?

Slowly, Charles raised his head and found that Samuel was looking at him with scrutiny.

Charles was displeased. “Why are you staring at me with that look?”

“Where is Kate?” Samuel sounded hoarse. “She’s alive, isn’t she?”

“She’s dead,” Charles said grimly.

“Charles, the look in your eyes changed when you saw the man in the photo just now.” Samuel looked at him frostily. “You looked shocked and surprised. Why would you show those expressions if you didn’t know him?”

“Who do you think you are, Samuel? Do you think you can tell what I’m thinking just by studying my expressions?” Charles sneered disdainfully. “Don’t be too full of yourself.”

“Charles, my people have been tailing you for the last five years.”

Charles stiffened.

What? For such a long time?

“Initially, I just wanted to know where you buried Kate so I can visit her,” Samuel muttered. “But for the past five years, you have never been to a cemetery. I’ve sent someone to your house, but her ashes aren’t there, too. My only conclusion is that she isn’t dead. She’s still alive, isn’t she?”

Charles went silent. There was a hint of hostility in his gaze. “Why do you bother if she’s dead or alive? Don’t forget that she was already Caleb’s wife when she passed away.”
