Chapter 58

Zoey pushed open the bathroom door and strolled out.

Miguel's face turned dark when he saw she was still in her workout clothes. "What's your deal? I told you to shower and change. Don't you want to lock down that project in the south of the city?"

Zoey shot him a mocking smile. "Mr. Jimenez, you even have no penis. Do I really need to change clothes?"

Her words hit a nerve, and Miguel's face got even darker.

He got up from the bed, stormed over to Zoey, and raised his hand to hit her. But Zoey sidestepped, grabbed his arm, and with a swift move, threw the tall and strong Miguel to the ground.

Miguel felt like his spine was about to snap and cried out in pain, but Zoey quickly gagged him with the bedsheet.

Miguel couldn't believe he was taken down by a girl in her early twenties. His eyes were bloodshot with rage, and he struggled even harder against Zoey.

Zoey grabbed a rope from the tools and tied Miguel up.

With icy eyes, she stared at Miguel. "If you don't want to die, answer my questions honestly. Otherwise, I'll gouge out your eyes."

She took a small knife and pointed the sharp tip at Miguel's eye.

These were the tools Miguel used to torture others. Half an hour ago, he couldn't have imagined they'd be used on him.

He also never expected Arthur's eldest daughter to be such a tough cookie.

Terrified of losing his eyes, Miguel trembled and nodded.

Zoey then removed the bedsheet from his mouth, but kept the knife pointed at his eye, making sure he didn't move an inch.

"Is there a woman locked up next door?" Zoey started her questioning.

Miguel answered honestly, "Yes."

"How many men are in her room? Are they skilled?" Zoey asked.

"There should be five or six, all my bodyguards and pretty skilled. Among them, there's a Muay Thai champion and two judo champions," Miguel wasn't bragging; he was telling the truth to save his own skin.

Zoey could tell he was scared for his life, otherwise, he wouldn't have hired such skilled bodyguards.

But hearing the number of bodyguards made Zoey furious. She stuffed the bedsheet back into Miguel's mouth and slapped him several times. "You bastard, you've harmed her yourself, and now you even have your bodyguards continue the torment! Death is too good for you!"

Miguel's face swelled from the slaps, and he soon passed out.

Zoey wasn't in a rush to make him sign the transfer contract. Instead, she focused on figuring out how to rescue the girl.

Meanwhile, after Zoey left, Henry couldn't focus on his work in the study.

Images of Zoey and Manuel together kept popping into his mind.

Finally, Henry grabbed a project contract from the files and drove over to the law firm where Manuel worked.

There were still people on duty at the firm.

"Good evening, who are you looking for at this hour?" the person on duty asked, surprised to see Henry.

"Is Mr. Owens here. I have a contract with some details I need to clarify with him," Henry said, making up an excuse.

The person on duty replied, "I'm sorry, Mr. Owens left about an hour ago. If it's urgent, I can take a look at the contract for you."

Henry's face darkened. "He left? Did he leave with a girl in her early twenties?"

The person on duty, though puzzled, nodded. "Yes, that was probably Mr. Owens' girlfriend. So, Mr. Owens must have gone on a date with her."

The person on duty was a new intern who had only been at the firm for less than a month. Even lawyers who had been there for years might not know Zoey's true identity, let alone a new intern.

Henry looked at the intern. "Do you have Mr. Owens' phone number?"

The intern felt a sudden chill in the air and couldn't help but shiver. Looking at the handsome but cold man in front of him, the intern felt a bit scared.

"Yes, I'll give you it to you right away," the intern replied immediately.

After getting the number, Henry realized he could just call Zoey directly. However, he was uncertain whether Zoey would answer his call. So, he called Manuel instead.

Manuel was worried about Zoey because she had been inside for a long time and hadn't come out yet. He couldn't call Zoey now, and even though he knew she was skilled, he was still uneasy since Miguel's villa was sure to have many bodyguards.

At that moment, his phone suddenly vibrated. Seeing an unfamiliar number, Manuel instinctively wanted to hang up. But then he thought it could be that Zoey's phone wasn't working and she was using someone else's phone to call him?

So Manuel quickly answered the call. Before he could speak, Henry's deep voice came through the phone. "Manuel, is Zoey with you right now?"

Manuel was stunned. "Who are you?"

"I'm Henry. Where did you take my woman?" Even through the phone, Manuel could sense a destructive aura, and he almost dropped his phone in fear.

Could it be that Zoey and Henry had a relationship, and Henry thought he was with Zoey?

Manuel, knowing Henry's power, quickly told the truth. "Mr. Windsor, I am with Ms. Spencer, but I'm outside Miguel's villa. Ms. Spencer is in it for a collaboration, as requested by her father. But Ms. Spencer has been inside for almost an hour and hasn't come out yet."

Hearing this, Henry's grip on the phone tightened, almost crushing it. "So she did go. You go into the villa right now and tell Miguel that I will be there soon. If he dares to lay a finger on Zoey before that, I will ensure his entire family pays the price!"
