It was a well-prepared ambush led by Peter. He had also brought reinforcements, and they engaged in a fierce fight with Brodie and his men.
The video call was immediately cut off.
Xander's expression changed dramatically. He rushed out of the conference room, followed by the rest of the staff members.
Only Samuel was left panting on the table. He couldn't help but recall Jessica's words. "I want money, and you want her. It's a fair deal."
But now, Grace might not survive.
Samuel felt so panicked that he was sweating profusely.
…
Larry parked the car at the construction site. It was pitch-black, and there were no signs of life around
"Mr. Hawkins, do you think Ms. Lewis is here?"
Benjamin paced in a circle, then suddenly came to a stop. "Did you hear anything?"
Larry listened attentively for a moment. "That sounds like a fight."
The two immediately followed the sound. As they went deeper inside, the noise grew louder.
Benjamin frowned when he saw the shocking scene. Dozens of people were engaged in a violent brawl.
Peter tried to get close to Grace. But Brodie, who had been in the underworld since he was 17 years old, was rather skilled in fighting and managed to hold him off for quite a while.
In the dim and dreary environment, Benjamin followed Peter's gaze, and a splash of red caught his eye. Grace was lying on the ground, almost lifeless.
"Grace!" Benjamin exclaimed as he rushed toward the red spot.
Larry barely had time to stop him. "Mr. Hawkins! It's dangerous!"
When Brodie's men saw Benjamin, they immediately rushed forward. Benjamin had had some training, so he was able to dodge them with a few moves. His attention was fixed on Grace.
When he got to her, he bent down, untied the ropes binding her, and cradled her in his arms. "Grace?"
He didn't even dare to touch her. She seemed fragile, as if she would shatter with a single touch.
Benjamin's throat choked up as he held her. They hid in a safe spot. "Wake up, Grace."
