the Wife

Chapter 25 Finally Here

Everyone turned incredulously towards the source of the voice. Even Sally looked over in surprise.

When she saw who it was in the VIP section, her eyes widened.

That person how could it be….

It was Anders!

Sally’s face turned deathly pale.

The auctioneer was ecstatic, nearly grinning from ear to ear. “One hundred million! This gentleman has bid one hundred million! Anyone willing to bid higher?”

Seeing no one respond, the auctioneer continued, “One hundred million, going once!”

“One hundred million, going twice!”

“One hundred million, going three times!”

“Sold! This beautiful lady now belongs to Mr. Anders!”

The surrounding men reluctantly glanced at Sally but, seeing Anders, they dared not challenge him.

Anders’s power in the city was immense; he wasn’t someone to be trifled with.

At that moment, Sally felt like dying.

She never expected to be this unlucky, encountering this guy everywhere she went!

She hadn’t expected anything about who would buy her tonight. After all, it was practically selling herself.

She was prepared to serve a lecherous old man if it came to that.

But she never imagined that the one who would buy her… would be Anders!

This guy always thought she was cheap, and after tonight…

Sally, hidden under her veil, smiled bitterly.

Forget it.

Why should she care? In Anders’s eyes, she was never a good person anyway.

With that thought, she walked towards the VIP section, following the auctioneer’s earlier instructions.

She reached out her hand to Anders and said with a smile, “Sir-”

She meant to shake his hand, but Anders grabbed her wrist instead,

“Ow–Sally, caught off guard, gasped.

Anders’s face showed no emotion, but Sally felt an unusually oppressive aura from him.

Anders stood up, and before Sally could say anything, he lifted her into his arms!

Everyone around them was stunned.

Sally’s heart raced.

The auctioneer, still smiling, said, “Mr. Anders, we have prepared a room upstairs for you. We hope you have a wonderful night!”

Anders said nothing, carrying Sally upstairs directly.

Chapter 25 Finally Here

Once inside the room, Sally barely touched the floor before she scrambled several steps away!

Anders, with a cold look in his eyes, sneered: “You have the guts to sell yourself here but can’t face me

directly?”

Sally, unsure of what to do, was suddenly pushed onto the soft bed by Anders.

Lying on her back, Sally felt Anders’s hands on her shoulders, his eyes nearly bloodshot.

“Is this how low you’ve sunk? Can’t get money from me, so you come here to sell yourself?” Anders wanted to strangle her.

Sally couldn’t move but stubbornly refused to cry. She turned her head, coldly saying: “Mr. Anders, not everyone is as privileged as you. I need money, and this is the quickest way to get it.”

Anders’s hands gripped her slender neck: “Try saying one more word.”

Sally closed her eyes in pain.

“Just answer me this,” Anders ground his teeth. “When did you become so degraded?”

Anders remembered Sally as a pure and beautiful teenager.

Why had she become like this…

Anders felt a deep sense of betrayal.

“Think what you want,” Sally’s eyes filled with tears. “Mr. Anders, according to the auction rules, I’m now your mistress. I’ll be at your beck and call… So, when will you transfer the one hundred million to my account?”

Anders’s grip tightened for a moment, then he suddenly let go as Sally’s face turned red from suffocation.

Anders felt an indescribable sense of defeat.

“Sally, you disgust me.” Anders spat out the words harshly, then stood up and left the luxurious suite decisively.

Sally stared at the ceiling, letting tears flow down her face.

The next morning, Sally received a bank transfer of ten million.

Anders had paid the auction house.

However, the auction house took a hefty cut, leaving Sally with only ten million from the hundred million bid.

Ten million….

Sally sighed.

Though it was a fraction of the one hundred million, it was enough to solve her immediate problems.

Just as Sally was worrying about how to contact the kidnappers, they called her.

Her hands trembled as she answered.

The kidnappers gave her an address. Sally wasted no time and took a taxi to the location.

The exchange site was a desolate mountain.

When Sally arrived, she saw a fierce–looking man watching her from a distance.

Sally had a gut feeling this was the kidnapper she had spoken to.

Sure enough, he soon spoke: “You finally came. I thought you didn’t care about your son’s life.”

Sally clenched her fists and said coldly: “Where is my son? I need to see him now!”

The kidnapper laughed, then asked, “The money? Did you bring it?”

Sally gripped the bank card in her pocket.

“I brought a bank card. It has no password,” Sally said “I’ll give you the money, but you must release my

son!”

The kidnapper scoffed, “Follow me!”

Sally cautiously followed the kidnapper.

They walked up a small path and soon reached the top of the mountain.

What Sally saw made her eyes widen!

“How…” Sally was stunned to see not only the kidnapper’s accomplices but also Anders and Mary!

Mary, like Andy, was tied up, while Anders stood not far away, looking coldly at them.

“Oh, you finally came?” one of the kidnappers sneered upon seeing Sally.

Two kidnappers stood together, glancing disdainfully at the tied–up Mary and Andy.

“Mr. Anders, Ms. Sally, one kidnapper said with a smile, “I have a choice for you now…”

Sally’s heart sank!

The kidnapper kicked Mary in the back and said to Anders: “You can only save one. Do you want to save this child or your beloved woman? You decide.”

Mary and Andy both started crying.

“Mom, Mom… save me, Mom, save me…” Andy sobbed uncontrollably.

Mary also cried out to Anders in despair: “Anders, Anders… I don’t want to die…

Anders clenched his fists.

Sally hadn’t expected Mary to be kidnapped too.

But now, her heart was entirely focused on Andy!

“You said if I gave you five million, you’d release my son!” Sally screamed in desperation. “How can you break your word?”

The kidnappers exchanged glances and laughed.
