Chapter 68 A Second Present
“Condition?”
“Yes,” Trenton nodded, “Makenna never mentioned that she had an older sister, did she?”
Jared nodded.
1/5
A look filled with hatred shone in Trenton’s eyes, contorting his entire face, “Her name was
Makayla, she was our first daughter. When she was still a little child, she was abducted. We
called the police, but it provoked the kidnappers, so they drowned her. Ever since then, my wife’s
mental condition has never been the same, until...”
A light sparkled in Trenton’s eyes, “After Makenna was born, her state seemed to have gotten better. I never thought that
Makenna would get kidnapped as well. This has triggered her mental illness again after twenty years!”
Jared tried to take in all this information.
Mrs. Gardner was probably worried that calling the police would provoke the kidnappers to kill
Makenna.
!
“If that’s the case, I’ll call a security company and hire some men to rescue Makenna.”
Jared was about to make a call, but this time, Trenton’s phone rang.
Trenton placed Mrs. Gardner to the side, and looked at the anonymous call. It didn’t even display the location from where the
caller was calling from.
Trenton looked at his phone for a few seconds, then picked up, “This is Trenton Gardner.”
“I heard you’ve been looking for me?” A man’s cheery tone echoed from the phone, but it was

also filled with coldness.
Trenton wrinkled his forehead, “Who is this?”
“Have you forgotten all about me already? I told you last time, I have a second present for you.” The man began to laugh, which
was enough to send chills down anyone’s spine.
Trenton suddenly remembered, and his face turned into a scowl, as he hissed, “It’s you!”
It was that fox mask man from last time!
Jared looked perplexed at Trenton, “Sir, what’s the matter?”
Trenton gripped his phone, his hand slightly trembling, but he said nothing.
Over the phone, the man continued to cackle, “Yup, it’s me. I heard you’re all looking for me. So, here I am. Impressed?”
“Who said we’re looking for you?” Trenton was so enraged that even his neck flushed red.
Looking for him? Why the hell would Trenton do this!
“Well, you’re all looking for whoever took Makenna. So, isn’t that me?”

Trenton stood up, “You kidnapped Makenna?”
Jared’s eyes narrowed and stared at the phone in Trenton’s hand.
Mrs. Gardner was incredibly anxious and snatched the phone from Trenton, “Who are you? Why did you kidnap my daughter?
Please, let her go, I’ll give you whatever you want.”
“Whatever I want, is that so?” The man giggled.
Mrs. Gardner nodded her head repeatedly, “Yes, just name the price!”
“I don’t want money. If you give me the Trident Group, I’ll let your daughter go. Sounds fair?”
He laughed deviously.
Mrs. Gardner’s expression was frozen.

Trenton grabbed the phone back, “You must be joking!”
No way he would give anyone the Trident Group.
The man did not sound displeased at all, “Come on now, that was just a joke, don’t be so upset, Mr. Gardner. Besides, I never
thought about using her to get the Trident Group. I’m sure she’s not even worth that much.”
“Then why did you kidnap Makenna?” Jared’s hands were balled into fists inside his pockets, but he could no longer control
himself and shouted out.
The sly man sounded slightly surprised, “Oh, Mr. Farrell’s there as well.”
Jared wasn’t surprised that the caller knew him. After all, this man was out to get the Gardner family, so it’s no surprise he’d
looked into all related ties to the family.
“Tell me, why are you doing this!” Jared asked again.
The sly man stopped laughing, and his voice turned ominous, “It’s simple. She hurt the one I care about the most, so I’m going to
make her pay.”
Hurt?
Jared’s eyebrows were knitted tensely.
Speaking of hurting, the only one Makenna ever really hurt, was Amber.
“You mean Amber?” Jared’s hands were clenched into tighter fists as he tried to restrain
himself.
He recalled that in the restaurant, there were quite a few men around Amber already. Who
knew where this guy appeared from, but he might not be the last one either.
It appears that she secretly made quite a few male friends behind his back before they event
got divorced. What a woman!
“It’s Amber Reed. She’s the one who caused this to our Makenna!” Mrs. Gardner’s eyes

widened, and the tears began to flow out again, “Why, why must the Reeds haunt both of my
daughters!”
Hearing this, Jared’s eyes suddenly flickered.
Now it’s no secret why the Gardner family hated the Reed family so much.

Makayla’s death must have had something to do with the Reeds.
“Mrs. Gardner, I must correct you there. It was your daughter who hurt Amber first, so don’t go
playing the victim. Mr. Gardner, check your computer. I’ll let you take a look at your daughter. That’s my second present to you.”
The man said and began to cackle again.
“Get the computer!” Trenton barked out.
A servant quickly rushed over with his computer.
As soon as Trenton turned it on, the image of a man wearing a fox mask popped out, which startled the Gardner couple.
Jared fixed his gaze on the man, trying to note down the skin tone, moles, tattoos, or any noticeable features.
He needed clues to find the masked man.
Unfortunately, the man was quite clean of any markings.
“Where’s my daughter, didn’t you say you were going to let us see her, where is she!” Mrs. Gardner grabbed the computer and
fervently asked.
The masked man laid back on a sofa with his legs crossed. He held a glass of red wine in one hand, as he slowly stirred it,
“Don’t rush, Mrs. Gardner. Here she comes now!”
After he finished speaking, the computer screen split into two, with the masked man on the left, and Makenna on the right.
Makenna was tied to a chair. Her head was drooped and she didn’t move. She was probably knocked out.
Behind her stood a muscular, masked man, where only his eyes and mouth were revealed, so it was impossible to see his face.

The sight was enough to distraught Mrs. Gardner, “Makenna!”
Trenton also glared at the masked man.
Jared asked in a chilling tone, “What have you done to Makenna!”
“Don’t worry, she’s fine. Ron, wake her up.” The masked man rested his head on one hand and spoke off–handedly.
The man standing behind Makenna grunted, then walked out of the picture. Then he came back with a bucket of water.
Suddenly, he poured the water all over Makenna.
“Ah!” Makenna shouted as she jilted awake.
“Makenna!” Mrs. Gardner continued to call out.
Makenna was in a daze, then she called back, “Mom, is that you?”
“It’s me, it’s me.” Mrs. Gardner covered her mouth and whimpered.
Makenna also began to cry while glancing around her surroundings, “Mom, where are you. I can’t see you. I’m so scared,
please, hurry up and come save me.”
“Don’t worry, Makenna, mom will save you, and so will your father and Jared.” Mrs. Gardner said as she pulled Trenton and
Jared by their sleeves, gesturing them to say something as well.
Trenton spoke first, “Don’t worry, Makenna, dad will definitely save you.”
“And so will I.” Jared looked at Makenna’s haggard face, and tried to reassure her in a soft tone, “The camera is probably off on
your end. so you can’t see us. But don’t worry, we can see
you.”
Reassurance from her parents and lover greatly helped to quell the overwhelming fear of being kidnapped in her heart, removing
the feelings of hatred.
While kidnapped, Makenna awoke once, and happened to hear that she was kidnapped because of something to do with Amber.
So she was determined to make Amber pay ten folds once she gets out of here!
