Although they were siblings, Jeremy respected his sister's privacy. After all, he was not the kind of person who would check other people's phones.
So, he just sat there and waited for Angelina.
But suddenly, Angelina's phone vibrated. It seemed that someone sent her a message.
At first, he didn't pay much attention to it.
However, the phone kept on vibrating a few more times. Since there had been many messages already, it must be something important.
Jeremy looked around, but Angelina wasn't back yet.
He picked up her phone from the table and stood up.
While he was looking for Angelina, it vibrated again.
But since Jeremy had always respected Angelina's privacy, he didn't dare to check the messages.
After a while, the phone had finally stopped vibrating.
Looking at the black screen, Jeremy thought that it was over.
But to his surprise, the screen lit up as the latest message came in.
And since the screen was right in front of his face, he unintentionally saw the new message.
Shock was written all over Jeremy's face in an instant.
It was as if he saw something terrifying.
All of a sudden, he lost his balance, and he stumbled sideways.
Fortunately, there was a waiter near him, who was quick enough to hold him. "Sir, are you okay?"
Jeremy replied, "Yes, I'm fine. Thank you."
Jeremy pulled back his hand only to find out that it had gotten cold.
He looked at the phone again, but it had automatically locked.
As he recalled the words he had just read, he felt like a heavy stone pressed on his heart.
He could barely breathe.
Angelina hadn't come back yet, and he didn't know where to find her.
Jeremy suddenly got anxious, especially when he remembered the beads of sweat on Angelina's forehead before she left.
He looked at her phone again, thinking of unlocking it.
But after trying a few sets of numbers for the password, none of them worked.
Eventually, he put his finger on the button. To his surprise, the phone unlocked
Jeremy remembered that when Angelina got this phone, she was so happy that she grabbed his hand and recorded his fingerprint in there.
He didn't expect that she would use it as her phone's password.
Since the phone was already unlocked, he opened Angelina's WeChat.
Jeremy never did something like this. Even if Angelina was his sister, he never invaded her privacy.
But the message he had accidentally read made him restless.
He had no choice but to find out what was really going on.
Jeremy opened the messages.
They all came from the same person.
"Angelina, where are you?
We don't have any money left now.
Give us one million dollars right away."
"Where are you? Reply to my message." "Are you trying to avoid us?
