Desires Die Hard

Paula Would Be Worthless

Paula didn't respond to Cohen immediately. She hesitated and didn't figure out why Evan would kidnap her because she knew his mother, Gina.

Paula and Gina had cooperated several times.Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

And Paula remembered that Gina had called her two days ago and told her that her son would visit her.

Paula didn't remember anything just now because she felt dizzy and her brain empty after she was kidnapped and hit by something at the back of her head.

But now she remembered everything.

Paula frowned, feeling terrified and horror. Why would Evan kidnap her?

"Cohen, is it a misunderstanding? I know Gina, and we have a good connection. I don't think her son would have a history with me," Paula said uneasily after she came back to her senses.

"I don't think he would kidnap me."

It seemed that Paula didn't believe what Cohen had said. Cohen felt agitated but he remained calm. "Ms. Tucker, if I hadn't known the information in time, I'm afraid you would have..." Cohen lingered.

"Although I don't know why he kidnapped you, he did."

As Cohen said, he took out his phone and showed Paula the surveillance footage about Evan and Hayden had gone to the residence that day.

Paula took the phone and fixed her eyes upon it, looking entangled.

The surveillance footage showed that Evan showed up in front of her house and went in. But there was no more, so she couldn't know what Evan had done after he went into her house.

Was he truly kidnapping her? Paula wondered.

"The monitor was broken by him after he went into your house, so I can't get it, Ms. Tucker."

"Cohen, I need to ask Gina first," Paula said as she put Cohen's phone down.

Paula didn't offend anyone, so she needed to know why Gina's son would kidnap her.

"Would it help, Ms. Tucker? Gina is Evan's mother, so will she tell you the truth?" Cohen said, and hatred started to fill in his eyes.

So, his tone became sharp although he didn't realize that.

"I need to figure it out." Paula insisted.

She was calm after enough sleep.

She just wanted to know why.

"Ms. Tucker, do you think..." As Cohen continued to persuade, he was interrupted by Paula who decided to call Gina. "Cohen, I know you're doing this for me, but I don't want to get you involved.

"Where's my phone? It's gone. Cohen, could I borrow yours?"

"Sure, Ms. Tucker," Cohen said as he suppressed his anger and handed his phone to Paula.

Paula took the phone and lowered her head to input Gina's number. However, before she could dial it, she heard a bang, and Cohen had hit her forehead hard with an ashtray.

Cohen hit Paula so hard that she immediately fainted before she could see who hit her.

Cohen looked down at Paula with the ashtray with blood in his hand. He didn't feel scared or guilty at all. Instead, he felt ferocious as if his heart had been devoured by a devil.

"Sorry, Ms. Tucker," Cohen said lightly.

Cohen calmly took a tissue to wipe the blood off of the ashtray.

He wouldn't leave any trace.

After that, he soaked the ashtray in the hydrogen peroxide solution.

He went to wash his hands and came back to Paula. After throwing a cold glance at her, he carried her to the basement to lock her in.

Then he took the letter paper that he had prepared to testify against Evan and made Paula's fingerprint on it.

Everything was ready.

Lifting his wrist to check the time, he turned to leave without mercy, leaving Paula to rot in the basement.

Paula was old and would be worthless after she was hit hard in her forehead.

Cohen would wait for Paula to die in the basement before he made the allegation letter against Evan public.

...

In the JK Couture.

Anya called the president's office about Evan after she came to the company. She was told that Evan would be fine, so she could prepare for the design competition.

Evan had told Anya that he could handle it.

Anya should trust Evan and stop imagining things in case it would cause trouble for him.

"But it concerns me," Anya thought.

Anya became uneasy and started imagining things again. When it was almost ten in the morning, she forced herself to focus on her job and not waste time.

Anya turned on her computer and finally clicked the email sent by Hayden about the promising joint venture design company.

Anya read the email carefully.

She was deeply impressed after she read it.

Technically, it wasn't a design company. On the contrary, it was set up to purchase all the design companies.

Who was the boss behind the scenes?

There was vicious competition.

Anya logged out of her email box and fell into meditation. She told herself that she must exert herself to win the competition.

She had to stop the vicious competition.
