Never Late, Never Away Chapter 757

“Come on, let’s go over there and take a look,” Benedict said as he strode towards the door. Vivian hastily followed.

Just then, the phone in Vivian’s hand rang shrilly with a call from an unknown number. Vivian looked at Benedict hesitantly as a sudden sense of foreboding rose within her.

“Hello, may I ask who’s calling?” There was a slight tremor in Vivian’s voice as she answered. For someone to be calling at this moment, could something really have happened to Larry…?

“Your son is with me. If you want him to live, bring 1.5 million in ransom money to Coast Haven,” a male voice growled over the phone. “Remember, don’t call the police. Or you’ll pay for the consequences.”

When Vivian heard that Larry had indeed been kidnapped, she immediately collapsed with despair. Her worst fears had been confirmed. She shrieked into the phone, “Who are you? What have you done to my son?”

Benedict’s face fell the moment he heard Vivian speak those words. He anxiously stared at the phone she was gripping in her hand. Has something really happened to Larry?

“Your son’s fine. But if you don’t bring the money over, I can’t promise that he’ll stay in this good shape for long. I’ll give you until tomorrow morning latest. I need to see the money,” the menacing voice on the other end said with an air of finality.

“I’ll bring the money immediately! But you have to promise me that nothing will happen to my son,” Vivian bawled. “Where should I bring the money to? What’s the place called, what Haven? Is my son there?”

“Coast Haven. Remember, you can only come with the child’s father, Finnick. If I catch sight of anyone else other than the two of you, your son will be in grave danger,” the voice threatened.

“Where’s Coast Haven? And how do you know that Finnick is his father?” Vivian asked doggedly. She’d never even heard of Coast Haven before.

No reply came. The kidnapper had abruptly ended the call.
