Chapter 609 Forgetting the Password

Diego sneered and said, "The most valuable kind, of course. Do you really believe I want the antiques for collection?"

Laura laughed, "Then things are simpler. Jade products and paintings are quite valuable and easy to carry around. You can have a look yourself when we get there."

Diego felt that today's Laura was a bit weird.

She was being so meek that Diego found it kind of surreal.

Granted, considering the current situation, perhaps Laura really didn't dare to defy him.

But she voluntarily told her where her collections were and invited him over to take them. She even asked him which kind he preferred and advised him to pick the more portable ones. Was she planning something?

When Diego looked at Laura again, his eyes gradually become dubious.

However, Laura didn't seem to have noticed it. She was still focused on driving, as though she merely made a casual suggestion and had no hidden agenda.

Diego felt uneasy and undecided.

Just then, Laura suddenly let out a cry of surprise and pointed at a store by the street selling clothes and suitcases.

"They have suitcases for sale. You wanna buy one?"

Diego looked back at that store. This place was not downtown, so few people were around. The store was not big, only two salesmen were in there.

Yet, Diego cast a vigilant look upward. Surely, there was a surveillance camera.

He turned around with a frosty face and pressed the knife more forcibly against Laura's waist. Through clenched teeth, he growled, "Cut the crap! Just keep driving!" Laura curled her lips and muttered, "You always mistake my goodwill for ill intent."

Then, she did shut her mouth as Diego ordered and continued driving in silence.

About 20 minutes later, the car pulled up in a neighborhood strewn with villas.

Laura pointed at a villa a short distance away and said, "See? That's my house. Will you go there by yourself or should I go with you?"

Diego looked around cautiously. Since he was with Laura, the security guard didn't suspect a thing.

But this was a neighborhood for rich people, so it was well-equipped with security facilities.

Diego didn't know whether anything unexpected would happen if he went in on his own and left Laura alone in the car.

Therefore, to play it safe, he decided to take Laura with him.

Holding the knife against Laura's waist, Diego bellowed, "Go there with me."

Laura arched one brow but didn't object. She followed Diego out of the car.

Holding the knife behind her back, Diego forced Laura to the door of that villa and ordered her to open the door.

That stumped Laura.

In fact, she didn't even know the password!

Because this was not her home!

That day, she got really drunk, and Max brought her here. She woke up in this villa the next day.

What she told Diego at that derelict factory was a lie. She made it up just to trick Diego into getting her out of there.

She thought she had to make a last attempt to strive to live, even though she didn't expect it would work. However, Diego bought her lie so there they were.

She believed she had thought of everything. Yet, she didn't realize she had forgotten the password to the villa.

Max told her the password the other day. He said that this would be her home from now on. When her mother recovered from the surgery, she would need a nice place for recovery. This neighborhood was quiet and agreeable, which would be perfect for her mother to live in.

Laura didn't take it to heart back then. She thought that she might not agree to move in here.

Thus, when Max told her the password, she didn't really try to memorize it.

Now, this was awkward!

Diego's face fell when he saw Laura stand there motionlessly.

"What are you waiting for? Open the damn door!"

Laura's face stiffened and then showed an embarrassed smile.

"Oops... sorry, I forgot the password. Can I make a call to ask about it?"

Diego's eyes widened. He stared at her incredulously.

"Didn't you say this was your house? How can you forget the password to your own house?"

With a forced smile on her face, she said, "You know, I usually live in hotels and rarely come home. Plus, I have to go to live in that apartment for a few days once in a while to fool you. It's no surprise that I forgot the password here.

"Besides, this villa is too big for me to live in alone. So this villa is more of a warehouse to me that I hardly ever visit."

However, how could Diego be convinced just like that?

Gazing at her coldly, he said with a sneer, "You can't have randomly picked someone's house just to fool me, right?" Laura hurriedly shook her head.

"Of course not. Do you look like a gullible man? This is really my house. I can even tell you which color the carpet inside is. You can verify it yourself after you get in in a moment." Diego was almost convinced by that.

He looked at Laura with slightly dubious eyes and asked, "Who are you calling?"

Laura compressed her lips and said, "My boyfriend."

Then, she quickly added, "He's abroad on a business trip, so he still doesn't know I'm missing. He wouldn't get suspicious if I called him.

"If you're still concerned, I can turn on the speaker. If I say anything I shouldn't say, you can just stab me to death. I won't complain."

Diego thought for moments. Though he knew this was risky, he felt it wouldn't be a big deal.

After all, Laura's boyfriend was in a foreign country. Even if he noticed something fishy, he couldn't rush back to rescue her in time.

When he handled those gangsters this afternoon, he already planned out his escaping route.

Now, all he needed to do was to fetch the money and valuables and drive straight to the port.

It would take a maximum of 20 minutes to get to the port from here.

Laura's boyfriend who was abroad couldn't do anything during the 20 minutes.

Thinking of this, Diego stopped worrying.

Yet, he had no idea that it was precisely this call that got him in trouble later.

It was because he didn't know who the boyfriend Laura talked about was. He would never guess that Laura's boyfriend was actually the second son of the Nixon family, who dominated the entire Eqitin. He could send his men over in just five minutes, let alone 20 minutes.

But Diego failed to see the trouble coming.

Now he had been tempted by the huge fortune inside the villa, there was no going back for him.

That gang had gotten something on him. They said they wouldn't let him off the hook unless he gave them 2 million dollars.

Thus, he had no choice but to try all means to get money.

When that gang learned that his stepdaughter was a celebrity, they began to target Laura.

In truth, abducting Laura was not Diego's plan. He was incited and coerced by those people.

In his original plan, even if he refused to sign the divorce papers, he wouldn't go that far as to kidnapping Laura.

After all, neither of the options could do any good to him.
