In the Lap of Luxury novel (Grace and Benjamin) novel Chapter 592

It was already 2:00 am, but various platforms were still buzzing with trending news.

All the trending topics revolved around Byte Technologies' gala, spanning from Caleb's appearance to his confession, Grace's stunning beauty, and finally, the total revenue they had generated.

The servers had crashed several times.

However, beneath this celebratory atmosphere, an unknown danger lurked.

In a dark and damp construction site, the sound of water dripping onto a woman's forehead echoed through the silence.

The cold sensation brought the woman back to consciousness. She blinked her eyes, slowly opening them.

"Ugh ..."

A deserted construction site came into Grace's sight. She was tied to a pillar. Her arms were bruised, and she was unable to move.

The red dress she had worn for the gala was soaked with dirty water, and her face was pale.

"How did I end up here?"

The last thing she remembered was being in Samuel's car. Halfway through the journey, Samuel had suddenly said that he needed to use the restroom. So they had stopped on the side of the road.

However, as soon as he had gotten out, the driver had turned around and delivered a harsh slap to Grace.

She had been unconscious ever since.

"Is anyone here?" Grace shouted, trembling.

She had a very bad feeling. Clearly, she had been kidnapped.

She didn't have time to think about who might be behind this. She thought it would be best if someone was keeping an eye on her.

At least then, there might still be room for negotiation. If not, there was a high chance she could freeze to death.

A kidnapper demanding ransom wasn't terrifying. The most frightening people were the outlaws, who wanted nothing.

"Why are you shouting, bitch?" a rough voice echoed through the building, accompanied by the sound of a steel pipe being dragged across the ground.

A bearded middle-aged man with a limp, who looked extremely vicious, appeared. He was followed by a dozen men.

"If you want nothing and just find me annoying, you could have killed me earlier. But you tied me up here. It's because I still have some use for you, right? You can just say it."

Brodie finished recording. He was planning to send the video to someone. "You're indeed clever, but I won't negotiate with you."

Grace's eyes widened.

…

At the same time, at Hawkins Manor, Benjamin paced back and forth with his hands in his pockets. His anxious expression relaxed when he heard footsteps approaching.

"What did you find?"

Larry rushed in. "Ms. Lewis left in Samuel's car. Here's the surveillance footage."

In the video, the car stopped in a remote area after some time. Samuel got out, and then the driver drove away. Shortly after, Samuel returned, looking bewildered at the empty spot.

"The car avoided surveillance cameras. They're professionals. I heard Ms. Lewis hasn't returned yet."
