“Who is this?”


    N’s expression changed as she recognized Jordyn’s voice. “This is N. I need to speak to rk. Put him on the phone.”


    A lightugh came from the other end. “Oh, rko? He’s in the shower right now and probably can’t take your call. If you need something, Ms. Jayston, just tell me, and I’ll pass it on.”


    N bit her lip, her hands clenching at her sides. “Jordyn, I’ve been kidnapped-”


    Before she could finish, Jordyn cut her off, “N, do you really think using such a pathetic lie will get rk toe to you? If you want to see him so badly,e find him yourself. But he’s with me and our baby tonight, so he doesn’t have time for you.”


    N knew that this was a matter of life and death. She couldn’t afford to hold a personal grudge. “I’m really kidnapped… Just tell him this-<b>” </b>N?velDrama.Org: owner of this content.


    “If you’re really kidnapped, then go ahead and die. Without you, my baby can be legitimized, and I can be with rk.” Jordyn’s voice was filled with malice. She hung up immediately.


    N’s heart sank. Fear, despair, and hopelessness overwhelmed her.


    Jordyn genuinely wanted her dead. Jordyn wouldn’t let her get in touch with rk, and he might never know about this call.


    Maybe she shouldn’t have made that call. From the moment rk cheated, she was disposable to him.


    At that moment, she truly lost all hope in him. Eight years of feelings vanished into thin air.


    Seeing the despair on N’s face, Lucia sneered. “Looks like rk isn’t


    ou off early.”


    Keh’s voice turned serious. “Ms. Pord, what do you mean by that? If you kill her, I get nothing!”


    Lucia smiled and looked at Keh. “Don’t worry. If you kill her, I’ll give you 300,000 dors. How about that?”


    Keh hesitated, fear shing in his eyes. He only wanted to kidnap N to get money for his wife’s treatment, not tomit murder.


    Seeing his hesitation, Lucia urged, “Why are you hesitating? N knows we kidnapped her. Do you think she won’t turn us in if we let her go? If you don’t want to go to prison, you have to kill her!”


    Under Lucia’s persuasion, Keh’s resolve wavered. He started contemting whether to kill N.


    By then, N had calmed down. She knew she couldn’t die there. “Don’t be fooled by her. She wants you to kill me so she won’t be med for murder. She ns to pin it all on you.”


    Lucia’s face twisted with anger. “N, shut up! Keh, do it now! Don’t you want to save your wife?!”


    “If you kill me, she’ll either kill you, or you’ll end up in prison. You won’t get anything you want!” N yelled.


    Seeing Keh’s firm expression waver again, Lucia grew furious. “You bitch, shut up!”


    Keh looked at Lucia, his eyes betraying his suspicion. “Lucia, is she right? Are you trying to pin it all on me?”


    Lucia’s expression stiffened. “You believe her? She’s just trying to save her own life!”


    “If that’s not true, then you do it,” he said.


    Keh wasn’t stupid. N’s words made him realize that Lucia had been trying to distance herself from the crime. He handed the knife hovering near N’s neck to Lucia.


    This was N’s chance. She pushed Keh away, quickly grabbing the shlight and sprinting toward the stairs.


    Meanwhile, Spencer arrived at N’s apartment and immediately sensed something was wrong.


    The door was ajar, and it was pitch dark inside. He called out but got no response. He dialed N’s number, only to hear the phone vibrate from inside


    Carefully pushing open the door, he saw the messy living room but no sign of N. His face darkened, and he quickly contacted Damon.


    “Mr. Sumner, Ms. Jayston is missing!”
