Chapter 449 Save Shirley
- After Shirley was kidnapped, she regained consciousness fairly quickly. Dazed and disoriented, she stumbled to the side of the road, only to "coincidentally" encounter Archie's car. Before she could fully grasp what was happening, her captors struck her across the face multiple times, leaving her no choice but to call out for help from the passing Archie.
- The moment he saw her in distress, Archie acted without hesitation. Without a second thought, he charged in to rescue her.
- The kidnappers, however, made it clear that they were only after money and had no interest in harming anyone. But when they saw how recklessly Archie was throwing himself into the situation, they decided to make an example out of him. Rather than letting him leave unscathed, they took him captive as well, beating him mercilessly until his face was battered and swollen. It was all part of the plan—a well-orchestrated scheme.
