After Rebirth, She Shines

Chapter 40 Exposed

"What's wrong? Isn't your precious granddaughter there to take care of you?"

When it came to Eliza, Dylan was extremely angry.

After Eliza was released from prison, she didn't even visit them. Knowing that her family had gone bankrupt, she didn't even answer her phone. They still didn't know where she was.

Holly could only try to smooth things over. "Your sister is younger than you, and she's not like you. She's been through so much. She's most likely traumatized, that's why she's been neglecting her family...haha."

"Miah, we came to see you today to ask for your help. If you have any news about Eliza, you should tell us as soon as possible!"

"Of course." Miah's eyes were cold. "I'll definitely find her."

"Really? That's great!"

Holly thought that Miah's heart had finally softened. She immediately added, "About the money..."

"After finding her, I will make her more unlucky and miserable than last time!"

As soon as Miah finished speaking, Holly was stunned.

"Miah, how can you say that? She's your sister!"

"Just because she is my sister, I can't watch her ruin society. I want to clean up the mess by myself!"

After saying that, Miah gave the butler a look.

"Time's up. It's time for them to leave!"

"Miah! Miah!"

Dylan and Holly tried to struggle, but they had been pushed out by the well-trained bodyguards of Lanna Tips.

The room finally became quiet again. Miah sat on the sofa and lightly took a sip of tea.

"Madam, with all due respect, your family is too biased."

The housekeeper couldn't stand it anymore.

Miah had been neglected outside for so many years, yet they only came crawling back to drain her resources when they were short of money. 

Eliza had been doted on since she was a child, and she had been showered with the best food and clothes. However, when something happened at home, she was the first to run away. Even so, her parents still excused her, claiming that she was young and ignorant.

But in fact, Eliza was only roughly a few months younger than Miah.

"There's no need to pay attention to them. They've always been like this. Now that they've suffered retribution, there's bound to be a disaster if they don't do right," said Miah.

The butler nodded and said, "Yes. Fortunately, you have Mr. Gallagher now. He will treat you well."

"Mr. Gallagher had said that he will make up for all the love and care you never received from your family."

"If you marry him, this is your home. He will never let you suffer any grievance."

Miah took a sip of her tea. The coldness at the tip of her brows was like melted snow in spring as she slowly smiled.

In place of the coldness was traces of warmth.

After Miah's probing, she was certain that the Sampson family didn't know about Eliza's current situation.

The people on her side had not received any news of Eliza's whereabouts since two days ago.

It was as if Eliza had disappeared from the world.

"No, this is too abnormal."

In front of the computer, Miah put her index finger to her chin and thought about it carefully.

"If we can't find her, it means that there is a powerful party on the opposite side who is deliberately hiding her whereabouts!"

"Master, we found a few clues several times, but they were suddenly cut off. The other party also released all kinds of false news. Our brothers were fooled several times!" Briggs complained on the phone.

"There's actually such an expert on Eliza's side. I would love to meet him in person."

After that, a murderous look appeared in Miah's eyes. Her fingers moved rapidly as the computer screen became densely packed with codes under her control, it was as vast as the sea. 

...

At night.

Eliza didn't know how many days she had been here.

Both her eyes and mouth were covered. 

She was tied up in a chair in a dark room with no daylight. She was on the verge of a mental breakdown at any given moment.

"Water..."

"Water..."

She was eager for water, her throat seemed to be on fire.

However, no matter how hard she tried, no one responded.

The world seemed to have forgotten her.

It was as if the world wanted her to die here quietly.

At this moment, there was a noise at the door of the shabby villa.

In the dark night, a woman was wearing a black suit. Miah furrowed her brows as she looked over, it was as if she was speculating as to whether why Eliza's final location was displayed here. 

There are ruins all around the run-down building, it had been abandoned for many years. 

There is a rumor in Ditto Capital that this area was filled with dense energy, so no one passes by it during the day.

According to her understanding of Eliza, it was impossible for her to come here by herself.

Unless someone, like her, wanted to do something to Eliza!

At this moment, a fist suddenly swept past Miah's ears.

Miah dodged that punch. With the experience from last time, she was exceptionally careful this time around. She would always keep in touch with Briggs. There were people within a few kilometers of her.

Miah soon began to fight with the man. This man was agile and was not inferior to her, but somehow she felt a sense of familiarity with him. 

That person was about to strangle Miah, but Miah avoided it.

Miah retaliated, but that person neutralized her strength and made her punch empty-handed.

Miah gradually became angry and tried to grab the other party's mask.

It was obvious that the other party wouldn't expose himself so easily. Miah had only caught one ear.

At that moment, she immediately remembered who it was!

Miah Sampson suddenly realized as her movements began to shift. They were no longer on the offense, but instead, they became more inclined towards defense and escape.

The man obviously felt Miah's shift as he also lowered his attacks, yet it seemed that he did not mind her escaping. 

At this moment, Miah took out the anesthetic gun that she had already prepared and rounded his back with a snap.

The man dodged, she did not successfully inject the anesthetic however she managed to escape.

She didn't really intend on injecting him, therefore with a backflip she left the villa. However, at this moment, she saw a familiar black luxury car!

Emperor A00001.

Beside the car stood a man.

He leaned against the car door with a cigarette in his hand. He possessed long straight legs. 

It was Bobby Gallagher!

"Trying to run away?"

Bobby sneered, and the cigarette in his hand fell to the ground. He lifted his foot and put out the cigarette with his black leather shoes.

Miah tried her best to hide the shock in her eyes. She didn't expect that Bobby's legs were far from crippled.

However, in the next second, Miah realized the danger!

Bobby did not know who she was, nor did he know the person he was battling in a black suit was her!

Based on his understanding of her, as long as they came into contact, he would eventually realize it was her.

So she could only jump over into the villa with the windows open.

"Boss, how is it going?"

"This is a special situation. Get everyone to lay low. Do not come out!" Miah ordered.

Briggs was surprised. "F*ck me? It's really a trap? Boss, which one of your sworn enemies did you meet again?"

The corners of Miah's mouth twitched. "... It's my husband."

As soon as she finished speaking, the man behind her had already jumped onto the windowsill with her.

Cold sweat began to form on the veins on Miah's forehead. Her gaze landed on the steel bars of the villa that had yet to be completed and looked like it was about to collapse at any moment.

"Be good and don't move. Otherwise, you can only wait to be crushed to death."

In the middle of the night, every cell in Bobby Gallagher was filled with bloodthirstiness and darkness.

When Miah knew that it was him who did this, she could not hide her shock. 

After all, in front of her, Bobby had always been a gentle and cultivated gentleman. 

Only now did she realize that her husband's cruelty was far beyond her expectations when she saw Eliza, who had been tortured so badly that her hair was disheveled, she was on the verge of insanity and she looked like a dried-up corpse.
