Chapter 4 He captured the wrong person.

"Enough." Doris couldn't be bothered with her nonsense. "The crucial thing now is to rescue Mia. Do you have a way to contact Mr. Harris?"

Sofia hesitated. "What else do you want to do? If we want to retrieve Mia, we need to plan..."

Doris coldly interrupted her, "What retrieval? I won't go, and I definitely won't let Mia do such a thing either! I'll call him to cancel the contract and never have to see him again!"

"I think you want to ruin the Stewart family!" Sofia exclaimed, glaring at her.

"We've already taken a deposit of ten million dollars from the Harris family, and we've used the money to pay off our debts. If we breach the contract, not only will we have to pay double in compensation, but our lives might also be at risk..." Sofia confessed.

Doris furrowed her eyebrows tightly and said coldly, "I don't want to argue with you about this. Just tell me, what's the phone number of that deranged man?"

"It has always been the Harris family who contacted us, and it was always through hidden IP numbers. There is no way we could have Mr. Harris' contact information!"

"Address?" Doris asked in frustration.

"Mr. Harris is elusive, always meeting in hotel rooms. Last time, Mia was picked up in a mobile home..." Sofia said.

"..."

Without an address or a phone number, rescuing Mia seemed impossible!

Dammit, she had escaped in such a hurry earlier, and the road at night was so dark. She didn't even know where that villa was...

Am I just supposed to watch as Mia gets taken away and humiliated by that pervert? Doris thought feeling helpless.

"Let's call the police," Doris took a deep breath and said decisively, "let them help us find her. Teruel City is so big, I am sure they can surely locate her."

Doris turned to rush into the Stewart family's villa to find a phone but was stopped by the bodyguard Sofia had called over.

"What's the use of calling the police? Who dares to touch Mr. Harris? It'll only bring bad luck to our family!" Sofia said indifferently.

"Why wouldn't they dare? Is Kyle the ruler of the world?" Doris chuckled, "Furthermore, surrogacy contracts are already disgraceful enough. He definitely wouldn't want a scandal. Wealthy people care about their image!"

"No!" Sofia interrupted her and told the bodyguard, "Take Miss Stewart upstairs and keep an eye on her."

"Let go of me!" Doris struggled against the family's bodyguard holding her arm, a sense of helplessness washing over her. She fought, "Sofia, you're completely disregarding Mia's life!"

Doris was forcefully escorted back to her old room on the second floor.

Meanwhile, Sofia had already began thinking: If there was any news from Mr. Harris' side, she could immediately send Doris over, claiming a case of mistaken identity. After all, they looked exactly alike as twin sisters, making it difficult to distinguish...

Sofia wasn't afraid that Doris wouldn't agree. Even if she opposed it now, as twin sisters, how could she stand idly by if she saw Mia in mortal danger?

...............

On the other side, Mia was brought back to Dragon Mansion by the Harris family's bodyguards and locked in the master bedroom.

She was still in her room, on the computer, consulting a doctor about the abortion... She never expected the bodyguards to barge in and grab her, at that exact moment!

Didn't Sofia say her sister had agreed to help? How could this happen? What should she do? If Kyle finds out she's pregnant, would it be over for her? Mia was overwhelmed by her thoughts.

He was so cold and disgusted towards her the last time...

Mia was too scared to even sit down. She huddled in the corner of the bed, biting her lip and trembling.

Suddenly, footsteps approached outside, and the door was pushed open...

Mia stood up in fear, not knowing where to place her hands.

A tall and handsome man walked in—after hearing Dylan's report that they had caught the woman, Kyle ended the international conference early to come and see her for himself.

For the first time in his life, he was so eager to see a woman, to gaze into those eyes that were as stubborn as a wildcats, and to inhale her intoxicating scent that could make his blood boil.

That noble black gaze swept past the door and immediately noticed the slender figure standing by the bed. The corners of his mouth curved upward with interest.

Kyle took a step closer with his long legs, and Mia immediately tensed up: "M-Mr. Harris..."

This completely different and weak voice surprised Kyle. His slender hand reached out and pinched her chin. "So, you're changing your style this time, not cursing at me, huh?"

Mia trembled. Curse... curse at him? Where did she find the courage...? Mia thought of Doris.

She weakly said, "Mr. Harris, I... I dare not..."

As she spoke, even her voice was trembling. Finally realizing something was wrong, Kyle lowered his noble gaze and examined her face.

It was the exact same face, indistinguishable, but for some reason, those once lively eyes seemed different...

They were filled with genuine fear and timidity, lacking the stubborn and determined radiance he had seen before.

Kyle furrowed his brow, and his thin lips uttered two words, "Mia Stewart."

It was rare for him to remember a woman's name.

His deep, magnetic voice was incredibly pleasant to hear, making Mia's ears tingle. Looking at his handsome face so close, her cheeks reddened, and she softly called out, "Mr. Harris..."

A man of such noble refinement standing before her, this close and with such an ambiguous tone, no woman could resist!

At this moment, Mia, having been taken in by Kyle’s charm, even daringly thought: why not sleep with him? If she was lucky enough not to be discovered, she could claim that her unborn child was his!

After all, the child she was carrying was an accidental result of being with her boyfriend. However, her boyfriend refused to even include her name on the house deed and was flirting with other women!

So, when Kyle lowered his head towards her, intending to kiss her, Mia instinctively lifted her face and shyly prepared to welcome that kiss...

But just as Kyle's lips were about to touch hers, he suddenly stopped.

He opened his black eyes and what met his gaze was a woman's shy, expectant face, just like those other fawning women he encountered before...

For some unknown reason, he lost the desire to kiss her in an instant.

Feeling the man in front of her straightening up, Mia opened her eyes in confusion. "Mr. H-Harris..."

Kyle pursed his lips, barely able to discern his emotions. "Your acting has gotten worse—only able to call me that?"

"No... I..." Mia tried to speak.

His index finger gently touched her pale lips, not exuding the same alluring charm as before, which made him want to kiss her.

In a low, hoarse voice, he asked, "I didn't kiss you, are you disappointed?"

"I..." Mia mustered up all her courage to look at him, blushing with embarrassment. "Yes..."

A trace of expected mockery appeared in the depths of the man's eyes. "You were hoping I would kiss you?"

"I... naturally hoped that Mr. Harris would favor me..." Mia responded.

Indeed, the strategy of playing hard to get had run its course, and she was just the appearance that no longer interested him.

He had overestimated this toy's shelf life. Kyle thought.

Just as Mia was hoping for Kyle to kiss her again, he coldly withdrew his hand and turned to walk away...

Mia froze, seemingly confused at his actions. Mia reached out to stop Kyle, saying, "Mr. Harris..."
