Chapter 255
He would never let anything happen to Marve.
Meanwhile, news about the wife of the Brooks Group’s CEO getting kidnapped was spread across the internet, attracting everyone’s attention
The news became a trending topic in an instant
Lyra, who was watching the news at home, was stunned when s
she saw the headline,
She wondered who had the nerve to kidnap Maeve.
The next instant, Lyra’s phone rang as Charlie called her.
Lyra immediately answered, “Hello! Charlie, listen to me-
“Maeve has been kidnapped?”
The person speaking wasn’t Charlie. The calm and deep voice from the other end of the line was obviously Zion’s.
“I’ve just seen the news, but I’m not sure if it’s true or not. When are you guys coming back?” Lyra was slightly anxious.
Maeve had been staying at Brooks Manor for the past few days. No one knew if she had made any agreements with Sergio. In order not to reveal Maeve’s identity as the CEO of Mirage Group, they hadn’t met up recently.
However, Maeve just happened to be kidnapped within these few days.
Lyra waited for Zion’s reply, but nothing came through from the other end of the line.
“Zee? Zee?”
Lyra hadn’t encountered such a situation before, so she didn’t know what to do.
After a moment, Charlie’s voice sounded. He said, “Don’t worry! We’re meshing back right now. Stay calm, okay?”
Despite that, it was hard for her not to worry.
Lyra looked grim. After hanging up the phone, she instantly got all the Jansen family’s connections to investigate and verify this incident.
She couldn’t help wondering who in Seathbum City actually had the audacity to kidnap Mave.
Meanwhile, Clare, who was at Belle’s rented house, saw the news. She couldn’t stop trembling. No one knew if she had reacted that way because she was agitated or terrified.
However, Delle was a little scared. She hadn’t expected the situation to escalate to this point. More police officers had been dispatched too.
“Clara, if this gets exposed, then we…
Belle didn’t dare to imagine how severe the punishment would be if they were caught being involved in such a serious crime.
“What are you afraid of? If this gets exposed, no one will pay your gambling debts. If you go to jail, your limbs won’t get chopped off. You won’t lose anything, either way.
Despite saying that, Clara didn’t put down her phone.
She was waiting for the good news from the other side.
st news about the kidnapping
However, instead of receiving news of Maeve’s death, she had received the latest i
The news reported that the kidnappers had requested ten billion dollars as ransom from the Brooks Group. They would release Maeve once they got the money.
Clara was stunned when she saw that.
“W–What’s going on?”
She didn’t tell them to ask for money from Sergio. She had only wanted Maeve dead.
How could they not keep their promise?
“Clara, w- what does this mean?” Belle asked anxiously.
Clara’s mind was in a mess. She chided furiously, “Stop it! Can you stop talking next to my ears?”
Belle was startled by Clara’s response.
Clara immediately took out her phone, looking grim. She wondered where she had gone wrong.
She called the kidnappers and yelled frantically, “What are you doing? Why didn’t you follow my orders? Kill Maeve Scott!”
