"You! What have you done?" Mark’s voice trembled with panic upon hearing Lucas' words.
Lucas curled his lips into a cold smile, his gaze sharp and menacing. "Who contacted you, and where is Annie now? I want all the details. Miss even one, and your son will lose a finger. Don’t doubt me—I’m capable of anything."
Without waiting for Mark to respond, Lucas hung up the phone.
"That devil!" Mark glared at the disconnected call, smashing his phone in anger. His chest heaved violently, his face turning ashen.
His assistant, seeing the outburst, cautiously asked, "What should we do now, Mr. Lewis?"
Mark’s face darkened. "Contact him. If he can get my son out, I’ll agree to whatever he asks!"
The assistant hesitated, worried. "But if Lucas finds out about this..."
"Just do it!" Mark snapped. "Also, prepare a detailed list of everything involved in this incident. Write down everything he might want!"
It was clear he was ready to switch sides. If the other party couldn’t help him, he’d turn to Lucas in an instant.
Wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, the assistant quickly answered, "Yes, sir."
Time passed slowly, each minute dragging on.
Mark waited anxiously, and after about two hours, his phone rang again.
Despite the smashed screen, the phone still functioned.
Seeing the caller ID, Mark's face grew even more grim.
"Hello?"
Desmond’s amused voice came through. "Mr. Lewis, you really lack the spirit of cooperation. I’ve just sent you a picture. It’s regarding your son’s current situation. Make sure to check it."
With that, the call ended.
A sense of foreboding washed over Mark, making his heart sink instantly.
