Chapter 804: Achilles’ Heel

Jasmine is missing.

When Pehry hears the news, it has been two hours since she was kidnapped.

At the end of the meeting, he panics somehow. Coincidentally, he actually calls her, but no one
answers. He keeps calling, but can't get through.

As a result, interrupting all kinds of work, he leaves the company without looking back. With the
cooperation of the police, he gets the CCTV footage and finally understands what is going on.

Not long after Stella's incident, Jasmine is kidnapped. Figuring it out is easy as pie for Pehry.

These people are obviously not one of their own. They are more like ... enemies.

He turns away from the screen with a sullen expression and says furiously, "Follow the direction of the
car and see where the destination is."

"Yes, Mr. Pehry."

Everything else can be slowed down. The priority now is to know where Jasmine is and whether she is
safe or not.

Unexpectedly, he gets a call before he can locate the kidnapper. The incoming call doesn't show any
numbers.

Pehry narrows his eyes and picks it up. He bluntly asks, "Where is she?"

"Oh, why is Mr. Pehry so anxious? Where's your manners before you ask about her?" The voice on the
other end is processed by a voice changer, and it sounds particularly frightening.

Pehry's eyebrows furrow as he asks, "I'm asking you where she is."



On the other side, the man is standing in an abandoned industrial park. Looking at the unconscious
woman tied to a chair, he says in a teasing tone, "Oh, she's next to me, but she can't speak for the time
being. She fainted on the way here."

The man intentionally tortures Pehry with such an ambiguous reply. It proves that he gets what he
wants. Every word Pehry hears is like a needle piercing Pehry's heart.

Countless scenarios flash through his mind. He doesn't know what the kidnapper did to cause her faint.

Pehry's jaw is tense, and even his neck goes stiff. He closes his eyes and says, "Release her. I will
agree to any conditions."

The kidnapper laughs heartily, as if he has heard a joke. However, his laugh doesn't last and he says
coldly, "Mr. Pehry, if I want your life, will you give it to me?"

Although he is using the question to probe Pehry, it is horrifying.

The cold light in Pehry's eyes is like a sharp blade. He clenches his fist tightly and smiles. "If you have
the guts to take it, it is not impossible."

Hearing this, everyone present is astonished. No one expects Pehry to say that.

Evidently, the kidnapper is also surprised by Pehry's readiness. It takes him a few seconds to answer,
"Your life is precious. We can't afford it."

Pehry isn't in the mood for wordplay and says, "What do you want?"

"It's not an easy task to threaten Mr. Pehry. I need to think about it carefully. How about this, I'll contact
you after I have an idea..."



After saying that, the kidnapper hangs up. Pehry looks at the screen and then hands the phone to the
police officer beside him. "Let's see if we can locate it."

"Yes."

The phone call catches everyone off guard. Sitting on the sofa, Pehry has a dreadful air. When he
thinks of Jasmine in danger and has no way to know what is happening to her, he is on the verge of
collapse.

But he has to stay strong. Jasmine is waiting for him. He has more important things to do. If even he
loses his mind, everything will be over.

Countless possibilities come into his mind, and he finally marks out two targets. "Go check the south of
the city and the Defoe's."

Growing up in face of such things, he is used to employing his first judgment, which turns into accurate
intuition.

The kidnapper can't be an acquaintance, given that Jasmine is abducted out on the street. An enemy is
most likely. Speaking of enemies, ever since he accepted Pehry’s family, the Defoes and other families
in the south of the city are the most cautious towards him, fearing that he will jeopardize their
connections and status.

Pehry has known something about it. Living in such an environment, everyone has to maintain a basic
judgement of the people and things around him. Otherwise, one will end up tragically.

Sure enough, when his subordinate finds out that there is a car of the Defoes at the entrance of
Jasmine's school today, Pehry is almost certain that it is them.

"Where is Lucien Defoe?"



"Pehry, Mr. Pehry, Lucien and Mr. Alfred..."

"Let me ask you again, where is Lucien?" This time, Pehry gnashes his teeth. His gaze is so sharp that
the assistant believes that if he doesn't tell the truth, his neck will be snapped in the next second.

He reports hastily, "Yes, at the Defoes' company!"

Pehry stands up from the sofa and rush angrily towards the door without saying a word. They all watch
him and no one has the nerve to stop him.

Whoever gets in his way at this time is definitely going to die...

However, just as Pehry pulls the door open to look for Lucien, he is blocked by Alfred who is standing
at the door.

After Alfred learns that Pehry is at the police station, Alfred hurries over. Looking at Pehry with scarlet
eyes, he says lightly, "Go back."

They don't get along with each other. This is common knowledge in the family, so when they confront
each other, everyone has his heart in his mouth.

Pehry gives a smile. He smiles unrestrainedly and unconcernedly, "Get out of the way."

Pehry talks back, and no one takes a step back.

Pehry is already angry, and he will fly into a rage with the slightest provocation.

"Pehry, do you know that every move you make now represents the family? Are you going to find
Lucien? What do you want to say to him?"

Pehry retorts, "He kidnaps Jasmine. What do you think I will say?"



"There's always a way to solve the problem. If you act on impulse like this, there won't be a good
result..."

Alfred is trying to persuade Pehry, but unfortunately, Pehry doesn't listen to him. Before Pehry sees
Jasmine appear in front of him unharmed, any persuasion is nonsense to him.

As a result, no matter how much Alfred tries to stop him, he rushes out straight away. He even
smashes into Alfred's arm when he gets out with his shoulder.
