Heart Hunting novel Chapter 117

He has aged a lot since they last met five years ago. After her mother's death, she wanted to cut him to death each time she saw him.

It was him who made her mother suffer so much and die young. Now seeing him falling into such a state at his old age, she felt good .

Hilda!

Thinking of this woman, Poppy suddenly raised the corner of her mouth with a playful smile, and her icy eyes glanced at him, "Do you really want me to help you?"

Bryant's eyes lit up, "Yes, I do. Are you willing to help me?"

"In such a utilitarian society, benefit speaks loudest." Poppy said.

"Just tell me what you want!" Bryant asked

"I want you to divorce Hilda." Poppy replied.

Poppy found his facial expression gradually turned stunned!

“What? You can’t do it?”

Poppy shrugged, "Then get your hypocritical drama done now. Why embarrass yourself when you can’t do acting well at your old age."

“I...”

Bryant faltered, "How dare I divorce that hag!"

Behind that Hilda is the powerful Sanches. If he dares to file for divorce, he'll probably get messed up by the Sanches before his company collapses.

Poppy noticed his cowardice, "You don't dare to divorce?"

"That’s because of the background of the Sanches......"

In the early years, the Sanches engaged in mafia activities and even now they had been out of the game, the Sanches must still have a connection with the mafia.

"Here's what I'm telling you; unless you get a divorce and publicly admit that my mother is the woman you love the most, otherwise it’s impossible for me to help you."

Bryant's eyes darted around; he was planning something in his mind.

Poppy squinted her clear eyes, and smiled coldly, “don’t try to fool me with fake divorce documents. I am a lawyer. I will know whether you divorce that hag or not as soon as I go to the court of justice to check.

"Think about it and don’t turn me down in such a hurry. Kenny will take his time with you and you'll have plenty of time to consider my suggestion!"

The smile at the corner of Poppy's mouth was a ruthless, and she turned around in a dashing manner and walked towards the apartment building.

Standing there, dumbfounded, Bryant shook his head. Divorce? That’s impossible

He looked up and saw the light of Poppy’s apartment was on, while his heart sank into the darkness ...

A few days later, it seemed that nothing unusual happened .

In one afternoon, Poppy had a small case for which she need to go to the court. She walked out of the law firm with her assistant, Claire, and took the elevator to the underground garage.

Arriving at the underground garage, the elevator opened as Claire's phone rang, "Well, yes, we'll be in touch with the other party as soon as possible ...... Hello, hello, can you hear me?"

They walked towards the car. Poppy glanced at Claire and felt there may be something wrong.

Claire looked at the phone in her hand with confusion, whispering, "What a strange thing! Usually the signal in the garage is stable; why is it so bad today?"

She kept talking on the phone, which rustled so much that it was impossible to hear clearly what was being said.

Poppy's face turned serious, and she walked cautiously.

Suddenly, a van in front of them drove straight towards them. When the van is more than 10 meters away from them, Poppy reacted quickly,, pulling Claire to run with her towards her car.

"Get in the car!" Poppy said to Claire

Poppy was fast. After she got into the car and buckle her seat belt, she inserted the key into the keyhole and start the engine.

The whole process took less than five seconds, and the car had been started while Claire was still stunned at the moment.

The men in the van couldn't catch Poppy and simply pulled their car into the driveway, blocking Poppy’s way out.

The van’s door was pulled open. Down from the car was three or four thugs, each with an iron rod in their hands, ruthlessly rushing towards them. Claire saw this and can not help clutching the seat belt.

Poppy made a quick decision and told Claire, "Sit tight."

Poppy’s car is like an arrow that rushes straight ahead. The dark currents in Poppy's eyes condense into a hurricane.

The group of thugs were stunned by the quick attack, not expecting Poppy to be so ruthless, and were so frightened that they hurriedly dodged away

Poppy didn't stop for that, her ultimate goal was the van.

"Boom,"With a loud ‘bang’, the van was knocked out of its original place after huge collision, because of which Poppy's ears experienced a 'buzzing' sound that severely hindered her hearing.

Claire, at the passenger seat, put down her hands from her head and saw the van in front of them was crashed with a huge hollow. But the front of their car wasn't much better and was also badly damaged.

Poppy threw her head side to side violently to stay awake at all times. She turned the steering wheel and fled immediately.

"Get in the car!

Go after them!" The leader thug said to other thugs.

All the thugs quickly got in the car, then they drove after the Audi again.

Claire frequently looked at the rear-view mirror and nervously took out her cell phone with her hands still trembling, dialing the police number , "no signal?

No signal at all?"

Poppy couldn't hear what Claire was saying and focused on driving and figuring out how she could get rid of the van.

If they turned another corner ahead and then went straight, they would get to the exit, which Poppy pinned all her hopes on.

Just after turning the corner, a black Land Rover came upon them. Just as Poppy thought it was the enemy, the Land Rover block the van behind their car and stop the van, which was not expected to her.

The four men in black suit in the Rover .showed her that they must be good at fighting.

But time was running out and she wasn’t allowed to watch what happened behind,and all she wanted was to get out of the parking lot.

The thugs in the van each with an iron rod at hand got out of the car all of a sudden. The leader thug walked up to the men from the Rover, "Fuck off; don’t get in the way of my business."

Men in black suit looked at each other, and one of them in front of the leader thug swung his fist to him on the face without grunting,

The situation grew tenser and the six thugs were poised, waiting for their leader's order to start the fight.

The thug leader was especially angry and spat, "You son of a bitch; you dare to hit me, guys, go hit them!"

A few thugs went straight towards the black-clothed men, each of whom had absolutely no problem beating the thugs one-versus-two. The black-clothed men struck out at the thugs fast and accurately, the thugs group being shattered to pieces.

“Aha…”

The last of the thugs was also beaten to the ground, and three of the men in black turned to their leader, "Mr. Third, what should we do next?"

Mr. Third raised the corner of his mouth with a sneer, "Tie them up, and take them to the police station."

On the other side of the road, Poppy successfully get to a place that is safe. The wrecked Audi engine turned off automatically before reaching the exit. The front of her car was puffing out clouds of smoking. That the car can make it through until then was considered to be a success.

Claire's heart tightened and looked at Poppy who was finally relieved to see two security guards running towards them, but her ears were still hearing 'buzzing' sound, causing her to be unable to hear what the others were saying; she only knew the guards were patting the car door.

Claire immediately got out of the car and asked the security guards for help, "Please call the police station quickly; someone in the garage is trying to kidnap us."

The guards sensed something was wrong and one called the police station and the other called an ambulance.
