Chapter 20
Ivan was very good at choosing a place. Jessica got off the car and found herself in an abandoned oil refinery in the outskirts. She felt a little scared. On the way, she tried to talk to Adam, but he ignored her. She even forgot her phone at home.
Adam gestured for her to move forward, Jessica was confused but still followed his instructions, until she saw Kendall, who had been tied up by Ivan and thrown on the ground.
She immediately understood, wanting to run out but being dragged by Adam and thrown to the ground, hitting the edge of the cement bucket. The sound of bones breaking came, and she cried out in pain. Kendall saw the person clearly and became very excited. Adam gestured to Ivan, and the cloth stuffed in Kendall’s mouth was pulled off.
“Ugh… cough! Kendall coughed violently. “It was her! Adam was her! She stole those files. I never wanted to get involved with you because of Adam. You know we never got along. If she hadn’t approached me and offered to help, I wouldn’t have come to bother you…..‘
Adam glanced at Jessica, she had no idea Kendall would be found. Since hearing Adam say he wanted Ivan to find Kendall, she had contacted a group of thugs to silence Kendall. But how could Kendall be found by Ivan and brought to Adam?
She saw the scrutinizing look from Adam and immediately crawled over in pain, “How can you believe his words, Ade? He’s just deceiving you! Stealing files… How could I have come into contact with your files? Didn’t the recording say it all, that Josie was the one who stole

it? You clearly heard it already…”
“It was her! Kendall interrupted Jessica, thinking he could have a good parting with her. He never expected this bitch to hire someone to kill him. He never wanted to help this woman again!”
“The recording… The recording was synthesized! Jessica stole Josie’s voice and used AI to synthesize that file!”
“Kendall, do you not want to live anymore? Jessica shouted without regard for her image, “What benefit do you have in slandering me? Has someone bribed you? You are truly a good dog!“”
“Is it that I don’t want to live anymore? Kendall had reached a breaking point. “If it weren’t for Ivan, I would have no idea where the hitman you hired to kill me was dumped. Do you still expect me to help you with anything?“”
“What about the PDF? Adam had been silent up to now, not wanting to watch these two people bicker. Along the way, Ivan briefed him on what had happened. He had already found Kendall, but Kendall had panicked and fled like a scared rabbit, thinking that Ivan was also a hitman hired by Jessica.”
“What PDF? Kendall looked confused, while Jessica was very excited. Ivan immediately covered Jessica’s mouth and restrained her.”
Adam pulled out a picture, and Kendall’s face quickly turned pale when she saw it.
“If you don’t speak, I’ll throw you out immediately. By then, you probably won’t have run far before disappearing from this world, right? Adam put away the photo, sensing Kendall’s hesitation, and casually made the threat.”

Chapter 20
Kendall was still hesitating when Adam’s phone vibrated, it was an unfamiliar number.
“Where’s Josie? It was Eric’s voice.”
“What does it mean? Adam didn’t want to answer Eric’s call at all, but it was strange that Eric asked where Josie was, did something happen to Josie?”
“The surveillance footage showed that the last person Josie was seen with was Jessica.”
Upon hearing this, Adam quickly walked up to Jessica and pinched her chin, forcing her to open her mouth.
“Where did you take Josie?”
