Chapter 317


    Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 317


    “A new branch? When was it established? I’ve heard nothing about it…”


    The gears in Cassandra’s head began to grind. Something about all of this seemed suspicious.


    Earlier when they were still in Flynn’s territory, the bodyguard had told them that Flynn wanted to treat


    them to a meal at Homnd Kitchen as an apology.


    Cassandra didn’t think much of it. After all, she saw the familiar Rolls-Royce before her eyes.


    Because of that, they just went along with the bodyguard.


    However, seeing that they were now going west of the city, more and more rms in Cassandra’s head


    were going off.


    The west of the city was a factory zone. Very few entertainment centers would be there. Why would


    anyone consider establishing a Homnd Kitchen branch there?


    “It opened just a few days ago. The chef there’s quite the prodigy at cooking. Mr. Lexington’s told me


    that he’s hosting this feast with you in mind since he wasn’t able to serve you well at the Emperor,” said


    the driver.


    “That’s nice of him, but why didn’t Mr. Lexington notify us about this beforehand?”


    The driver cleared his throat slightly. “I wouldn’t know about that. You can ask Flynn yourself once you


    reach the restaurant,” said the driver as another faint smile appeared on his face.


    “Did you just address Mr. Lexington by his name?”


    The more she observed the driver, the less Cassandra trusted his odd behavior.


    Hearing her question, the driver began smiling awkwardly.


    The car’s pace began elerating at that moment. Not too long after, he took a turn and entered the


    highway, west of the city.


    Due to the abundance of factories, there weren’t many cars on the road. Only the faint glow of a few


    streetmps lit their way.


    The more they went down the road, the more Cassandra felt that there was something wrong.


    “Um, mister? I’m not feeling too well… Can we postpone this? I think I’m going to be sick. Please send


    us back.”


    “I’m afraid I can’t do that.”


    Cassandra’s heart sank. They wouldn’t have entered the car in the first ce if he had only specified


    that the Homnd Kitchen that they were going to wasn’t in Mayberry Commercial Street.


    Thinking back, he had elerated while driving down Mayberry Commercial Street too. They weren’t


    able to react quickly enough to ask him anything.


    The car driver looked from left to right, averting his gaze.


    All this only served to further worry Cassandra.


    “We’ve driven so far anyway, why not go down and have a look once we’re there?” persuaded the


    driver as he smiled.


    “We refuse! Stop the car immediately!” shouted Felicity in a cold voice.


    The driver pointed at the rearview mirror. “I can’t do that or we’ll crash with the car behind us. Besides,


    Mr. Lexington’s already waiting for you.”


    “Oh really? Well, I’m calling him now!” sneered Cassandra as she rummaged for her phone.


    However, the only voice she heard through the phone was his voicemail.


    ‘Why on earth does it keep going to voicemail?’


    All of a sudden, a loud bang could be heard.


    The driver had turned the steering wheel abruptly to make a sharp turn. The car was now going down a


    slope.


    Cassandra and the others were almost knocked out after being violently thrown about inside the car.


    “Where are you taking us! Who are you?!” roared Cassandra who was both in anger and fear at the


    same time.


    However, the driver simply ignored her.


    He pressed a button on his earphone before saying, “Copy that. They’re in the car now along with two


    other young beauties. We’re about to arrive, over.”


    “Who the hell are you? Is this a kidnapping attempt?” Yvonne had been sitting next to the driver the


    entire time and she bore a look of terror on her face.


    The car slowed down soon enough. It would appear that their destination was some kind of iplete


    factory building.


    She used to think that scenes like this were only present in action movies.


    “Stop the car. Stop the f*ucking car I said!” Yvonne screamed, almost like a mad person as she


    grabbed the driver’s arm.


    It took her a second to feel it, but she felt a p on her cheek.


    It was loud and clear. Yvonne almost fainted on the spot, as the p she took was direct and precise.

    At that moment, the driver hit the brakes.


    Behind them, five people got out of the car which had been tailing them for a while now. From the


    building, emerged three other people.


    Cassandra and the rest were dragged out of the car, one by one.


    It was all clear now.


    This was a premeditated kidnapping attempt!


    All of a sudden, Naomi started shouting into her phone which she had secretly taken out while they


    were still in the car. “Hello?! We’ve been kidnapped! Pleasee save us, we’re at the-”


    Before she could finish, a bodyguard ran toward her and snatched her phone. It took less than a


    second for him to smash it on the ground, disabling it for good.


    A tight p from him awaited Naomi.


    “How dare you make that call! Third Brother, do you usually work this sloppily? Retrieve their phones


    immediately!”


    “Give me your phones now!”


    Felicity attempted to hide her phone as a few bodyguards rushed toward them. However, her attempt


    was futile and in the end, her phone was snatched away as well.
