A Crazy One-night Stand
Chapter 57: I’m Already Married Part 3

Or perhaps it wasn't the woman who had previously employed her, but someone else who was looking for her. Who could it be?

Alina's close shave at the construction site during the afternoon was none of her business! She didn't tell anyone about Alina's whereabouts since then!

The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became. Humans generally were fearful about the unknown.

The car finally stopped after driving for a long time.

Mia was forced out of the car. Someone pushed her from behind and she stumbled forward.

After walking for some distance, the headcover on her head and the gag in her mouth were finally removed. However, her hands were still tied behind her back by ropes. Under the blazing sunlight, Mia squinted her eyes and looked around her surroundings. She seemed to be in an abandoned building.

She saw a man, standing with his back to her. The man said in a cold voice, "Are you Mia Price?"

"Yes, I am!" Mia answered, her voice trembling.

"Very good! Next, you have to answer whatever I ask. If your answers satisfy me, I will let you leave unharmed!" The word 'unharmed' was heavily emphasized by his voice.

Mia nodded vigorously. "Alright, I'll tell you everything I know." She could tell from the man's words that she would not be able to return safely if she did not answer him honestly. "Good, did you use a SIM card with the number ending in 1322?"

"Yes." Mia's heart was pounding. That SIM card was the card she used to send messages to the woman who employed her.

"Did someone employ you to report Alina's whereabouts, or did you do it on your own initiative?"

"A woman employed me. She gave me twenty thousand dollars in return." Mia immediately answered.

Mia initially wanted to explain that she was deceived by the woman as well. The agreement was to humiliate Alina, not to cause any harm to her. However, after thinking twice, she couldn't be sure whether the man before her was on Alina's side or her employer's. Thus, she dared not speak carelessly.

The man probed further. "Did you give your employer Alina's whereabouts today?"

"No, no, I didn't!"

"Are you sure you didn't?" The man's voice became colder.

"Yes, I didn't."

"Then, could you explain why Alina had two such incidents happen to her at the same construction site?"

Mia made a bold assumption from the man's words. He seemed to be on Alina's side.

As she thought of this, Mia immediately explained herself. "I really don't know. I may not be the only one providing her with Alina's information. After all, I have not met with that woman before, so she may not trust me. Besides, I have regretted it after Alina was nearly injured last time. I have returned the twenty thousand dollars to her."

"You returned the money?"

"Yes, I did," Mia said firmly.

"Who was the woman who employed you?" The man continued.

It was strange that the person registered to the phone number was actually a farmer in his seventies. After sending someone to investigate further, the farmer had not left his village more than twenty times in his life, he didn't even know how to use a phone.

They were unable to identify the mastermind, but they managed to trace Mia. That was why they had to question her.

Mia answered promptly. "It's Amy Evans. She's the cousin of our design department's former director, Hall Garcia."

His body twitched at her words.

The person behind this was Hall's cousin! No wonder.

The man raised his hand and two other men rushed out at his signal.

Both of them were wearing black leather coats and dark sunglasses. They ran up to Mia. One of them deftly untied the ropes on Mia's hands, the other held out his hand. "Miss Mia, please follow me!" "What? What are you going to do to me? I've told you everything I know. You've promised to let me go unharmed! You can't break your promise!"

The man who was questioning Mia just now smiled at her nervousness. "Miss Mia, you are a little timid. In the future, you should be wary about accepting jobs that seem dubious to earn money! Send Miss Mia back to Imperial Landscapes safely."

"Yes, sir!"

Hearing the man's words, Mia felt a little relieved.

After Mia was sent away, the man called Wilson on his phone. "Mr. Wilson, the person behind this is Hall's cousin, Amy!"
