Curtis started acting cowardly as he exclaimed in panic, “D-Don’t… Don’t kill me! I’ll move over now.” With that, he obediently took a seat in the passenger’s seat.
A chubby man suddenly approached from behind and threatened Curtis with a knife just as Curtis settled into the passenger seat.
Taking advantage of the situation, the man in the driver’s seat quickly hopped into the car and continued driving.
Meanwhile, the chubby man, while threatening Curtis, made a phone call. He didn’t greet the other person and only uttered an ambiguous statement, ‘Everything is going smoothly on our end.”
It was unclear what was being said on the other side, but Curtis heard the person on his end respond, “Alright.”After hanging up the phone, the chubby man dialed another number. “Is this Olivia Maxwell?” Curtis smirked inwardly. Ah, he is calling Miss Maxwell! Seriously…
Why not wait until we arrive at the destination before making the call? They might save a few cents on the phone bill by waiting, right?
It was now a matter of who the better actor was. Naturally, the person on the other end of the call, Olivia, was their boss. She replied calmly, “Yes, this is she. Who am I speaking to?”
The man’s voice sounded sinister when he warned, “Your four sons are in my hands now. If you want to save them, come to the warehouse in Westend alone. Remember, don’t call the police, or you won’t see the children again.”
As an actress by profession, topping that off with her genuine concern for her son, Olivia made her voice sound even more anxious and believable. “Don’t harm them! I’ll come right away. I can give you whatever you want. Just please, don’t hurt them.”
The man replied, “Good. Bring 3 million over to the Westend warehouse. If I don’t see you within an hour, be prepared to collect your sons’ corpses!” With that, he abruptly hung up the phone, When he noticed Curtis staring at him, he barked, “What the hell are you looking at?”
Curtis immediately averted his gaze. “I just wanted to say that if you’re after money, please, don’t resort to violence. If you harm those young masters, our boss won’t let you off the hook. He will definitely see this matter till the end.”
“I don’t need you to tell me that.” The man swung his hand down at Curtis’ head. When Curtis felt a sudden pain in his head from the impact, he silently swore to himself that he would make the man pay later!
The chubby man proceeded to ignore Curtis and made another phone call with the phone he held in his hand. “We’ve already called Olivia Maxwell. Your side can make a move now.”
At the same time, Azalea had gotten into a car in a remote location. She sat there, waiting for news from their side.
She waited for a while after hanging up the call with the chubby man. Estimating that Olivia must have called Eugene by now, she unhurriedly handed her phone to Cameron. “Call him.”
Cameron glanced at Azalea before he took the phone from her hand and called Eugene’s number. However, it showed that Eugene was on another call when this call went through…
Cameron’s lips curled into a cold smile. “Olivia must be calling Eugene to tell him that the children have been kidnapped and we are demanding a ransom of three million.”
Azalea rested her chin on her hand, feeling somewhat disheartened. “I didn’t expect them to involve Eugene’s biological son as well. I would have had more confidence if it was just Olivia’s three adopted sons. But now that Olivia and his biological son are involved, Eugene will likely go to rescue her.”
Cameron, however, seemed rather pleased as he comforted her softly, “Don’t be sad, Princess. Even if Eugene goes to rescue Olivia, he will feel guilty for not rescuing you. In any case, you’re the one who will win. Don’t worry. I will always be by your side.”
Azalea nodded. “I know. Alright, go ahead and call him. Remember to sound firm.” Cameron then hummed and called Eugene again.
