However, her face darkened as soon as she got in.

She had cooked up a plot. Since Kyla had brought her so much misery, she would make Kyla more miserable than her!

Two days later, Jacqueline Bowman drove Kyla to the temple.

On their way there, Jacqueline Bowman casually talked about some topics and then said, “You’re three months pregnant now, aren’t you? You have to be careful. You can easily miscarry at this stage.”

“I’ll be careful,” replied Kyla.

“By the way, do you know Mr. Lambert? He was the one who criticized you outside the venue of the full moon party. He’s in hot water now. His family is almost bankrupt. He lost all his business deals and is asking around for a loan, but no one dares to loan him money,” said Jacqueline Bowman.

Kyla listened quietly, but her face showed no expression.

From the corners of her eyes, Jacqueline Bowman shot Kyla a glance and said pointedly, “Mr. Lambert is suddenly so miserable because he offended Martin Weiss. Kyla, you’re lucky to have married a man like Martin Weiss. He stands up for you unconditionally. On the other hand, I wasted my youth on a heartbreaker like Neal Reid.”

“Live a good life and you’ll meet your true love in the future,” said Kyla.

“Really? Then… why don’t you introduce me to someone? There should be many eligible bachelors in Martin Weiss’s company, right? Why don’t you set me up with someone? I’ll never forget your kindness if it’s a success,” Jacqueline Bowman said with a look of anticipation.

Kyla bit her lip. “I don’t know anyone in his company, so I’m afraid I can’t be of any help.”

“Really? That’s alright. We’ll talk about it later, then.” Jacqueline Bowman maintained a smile on her face, but she silently said in her head… ‘Kyla, you brought this upon yourself!’

Once they got inside the temple, Jacqueline Bowman led Kyla to offer incense and pray like she was familiar with the whole process.

Looking at the solemn sitting statue, Kyla, who had never been religious, felt a surge of devoutness.

‘If God does exist, I hope He can bless my mother, children, and friends with peaceful and happy lives.

I hope I’ll make it through this and have a smooth delivery. And I hope…’

Martin Weiss’s face could not help flashing across her mind. She recalled his pale face and the needle wound in his arm when she ran into him in the hospital.

At that moment, there seemed to be a small voice in her heart saying… ‘I hope Martin Weiss can be safe.

‘Perhaps… Martin Weiss has left a mark in my heart, after all? It’s a mark that won’t go away.’

When Kyla emerged from the main hall, Jacqueline Bowman handed her an amulet that was sold in the temple.

e, I just bought this. It’s supposed to bless the baby. You have to wear it while you’re in the temple. You can store it somewhere at home after leaving the temple.” Jacqueline Bowman smiled as she held the amulet. She wanted to hang it around Kyla’s neck.

Kyla subconsciously tried to dodge.

“Kyla, this is just a little token of my appreciation. Consider it an apology for what I said back then. You’re not going to reject me, are you?” Jacqueline Bowman showed a look of guilt and expectation.

Kyla pressed her lips together. In the end, she put on the amulet. A fragrance seemed to waft out of it.

When they got back into the car, Jacqueline Bowman suddenly started searching her body and bag.

“What’s the matter?” asked Kyla.

“My phone is missing. Maybe I left it in the temple. Wait for me in the car while I look for it,” said Jacqueline Bowman.

Kyla nodded.

Jacqueline Bowman got out of the car. Kyla was sitting in the backseat as Jacqueline Bowman had put some extra candles and incense sticks on the front passenger seat.

The doors were closed, and the car keys were in the car.

Kyla sat inside. For some reason, she began to feel as if the smell in the car was getting stronger and stronger. It smelled like the fragrance that came from the amulet, and she started to get drowsy.

Before she knew it, her eyelids slowly closed and she fell sound asleep.

Moments later, two men walked to the car and casually opened the door. They got into the car and drove away.

By the time Jacqueline Bowman came out of the temple, her car had disappeared from where she parked it.

Jacqueline Bowman was immediately anxious and went to the temple to ask around. Moments later, she called the police.

“Hello? My car is gone and my friend is in the car. I can’t reach my friend’s phone either. Could you help me look for it? It went missing at…” Jacqueline Bowman anxiously reported the incident to the police.

When the call was over, she looked down and seemed to wait impatiently. However, there was a slight smirk on the corners of her lips.

Since Kyla refused to help her, she should not blame her for harming her.

Martin Weiss was shocked when he received Mrs. Corbyn’s phone call. “What? Kyla is missing?”

“Yes, Kyla went to pray with her friend. She fell asleep when she was left alone in the car and the keys happened to be inside. Two car thieves got in and drove the car away. They haven’t found the car or Kyla.” Mrs. Corbyn choked up as she told him what the police told her.

She thought her daughter was just going to offer incense and pray. She did not expect this to happen to her daughter.

Mrs. Corbyn regretted asking her daughter to go to the temple.

“Kyla’s friend has reported it to the police, but the police won’t be able to find her so soon. Martin, could you… Could you try and see if there’s any other way to find her?” Mrs. Corbyn said anxiously.

“Which police station is handling this case?” asked Martin Weiss.

Mrs. Corbyn gave the address of the police station, and Martin Weiss said, “I’ll go over right now.”

With that said, he hurried out of the office and went straight to the underground garage. He quickly drove toward the police station.

All he could think of was Kyla, and he prayed that nothing had happened to her!

When Martin Weiss reached the police station, he saw Mrs. Corbyn sitting on a chair, constantly wiping her tears.
