After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back (Aveline and Lucas) novel Chapter 669

"Aveline, don't be afraid! I'll get you out of there!" Russell's voice echoed through the factory.

"Hey!" Darren snapped, his eyes narrowing to slits. "What am I, invisible? You're shouting like that right in front of me?"

Russell's gaze shifted, locking onto Darren. His voice turned cold. "So, you contacted Lucas and demanded money from him. But even if I pay you and he doesn't, you still won't let her go, will you?"

Darren replied, "That’s right."

He continued to fiddle with the lighter, opening and closing it, making everyone tense with anxiety.

Russell’s expression remained cold. "Kidnapping and extortion are crimes. You just got out, do you really want to go back to jail again?"

Darren laughed. "As long as you pay up and help me get away, how could I get caught?"

His eyes gleamed with a hint of madness. "Hurry up and decide. My patience is running out."

Russell turned to his men. "Go to the bank and transfer the money."

Then he looked back at Darren. "Give me your account number."

Darren was surprised by how quickly Russell agreed, momentarily stunned before he recited his account number.

Russell took a step forward, his eyes, usually calm and with a faint smile, now glinted coldly. "Does she know you’re doing this?"

Darren’s expression immediately tightened, and his gaze turned more vicious as he stared at Russell. "What do you know!"

He was almost frantic. "That damn woman, she deceived me! Why should I care about her feelings?"

Russell responded calmly, "But isn’t everything you’re doing just so you can have a better life with her?"
