The kidnapper retorted with a smirk, “You think so? We’ve been tipped off.


    Despite the divorce, you’re still his weak spot.


    Why wouldn’t he pay?


    Piecing the words together, Hannah surmised a familiar face was orchestrating this kidnapping.


    The kidnapper initiated a call to Den, while Hannah remained silent, observing.


    Sticking to his rehearsed lines, the kidnapper set the ransom to a cool hundred million.


    News of Hannah’s kidnapping rattled Den, but the staggering ransom sum made him waver.


    Met with silence, the kidnapper seethed internally.


    Losing patience, he snapped, “Make a choice! Cash or the Lady? Decide and get the money to Ship No.


    559 at the East River Shipyard.


    The clock’s ticking!”


    The call abruptly ended.


    Den’s instinct was to assemble the ransom, but Eliana, gripping his hand in concern, chimed in, “The Edwards Group’s funds aren’t that liquid, right? Should we involve the police?”


    “However… Den paused, his voice quivering.


    “If I don’t follow his demands, I fear…”


    Eliana squeezed Den’s hand gently.


    “I share your concern for Miss Moore, but what if they don’t release her even after the payment? We should notify the authorities first.

    After a moment of internal debate, Den conceded, “You have a point.


    Alerting the police is our best move!”


    Barely thirty minutester, the kidnapper’s phone rang with Bryson on the other end.


    “I’ve dispatched what you demanded to the shipyard.


    Now, when will she be freed?”


    The man smirked, his eyebrows arching.


    “Mr.


    Mitchell, you never cease to surprise.N?velDrama.Org copyrighted ? content.


    Once the money’s in our hands, she’s free to go.


    ”


    Swiftly ending the call, the kidnapper unted his phone to Hannah.


    “Your assistance is once again appreciated.


    ”


    With an unflinching gaze, Hannah told the man, “Capture is inevitable, and when it happens, you’ll face a lengthy prison sentence for kidnapping and extortion.


    ”


    In a burst of rage, the man shattered Hannah’s phone on the spot!
