Xavier was taken aback, but quickly regained his composure and said in a deep voice, "I am, who are you?"
"No need to know who I am. Norah is in our hands. Transfer one billion to us quickly or she will be in danger," the man said coldly.
"You wouldn’t dare!" Xavier fumed.
"Want me to send you a video right now?" The man laughed wickedly.
"Don’t touch her! I’ll give you whatever amount you want!"
"We'll send you an account number later. Transfer the money there and don’t call the police. Once we receive the money, we'll send Norah home."
"Okay!"
Xavier ended the call and soon received a message on his phone with a bank account number.
He couldn’t help but sneer. What a bunch of amateur kidnappers, daring to kidnap someone from the Lamont family. Didn’t they know, regardless of whether the account was domestic or overseas, the Lamont family would ensure they wouldn’t get a single penny?
Moreover, if this call had reached Jonathan's phone, within an hour, Jonathan would have turned J City upside down.
The Lamont family was so wealthy. Norah and Henson had grown up safe and sound. Who had ever heard of them being kidnapped?
He opened another app on his phone, which clearly showed the location of the call he had just received. Xavier informed Damian while quickly heading in that direction.

After the man in black ended the call, Nicolas came out of the house and asked, "Whose account did you give to Jonathan?"
"My uncle's!" the man in black replied.
Nicolas felt very helpless and also speechless!
Jack knew Norah was beautiful and a rich girl. He was also tempted now and looked at Nicolas maliciously. "Have you slept with that girl?"
Nicolas kept his face expressionless and kept silent.
"If you haven't slept with her, you go first. We won't fight with you!" Jack said with a disgusting grin.
At first, Nicolas had no intention of hurting Norah, but now a sudden urge to take revenge on her surged in his heart.
His affair with Norah was long over, but the Lamont family still wouldn't let him go. When he came to J City looking for work after the New Year, he hit wall after wall. When he ran out of money and had no other options, he started doing part time jobs at the Movie Center with a guy named Jack.
Jack and the others were from out of town and also came to J City to work. They dropped out of middle school without any skills and were lazy.
A couple of days ago, Nicolas got drunk and told Jack about his past with Norah. When Jack learned that Norah was the daughter of the Lamont family, he came up with a plan to kidnap her.
He initially disagreed with the plan, but Jack said he had relatives abroad and assured him that once they got the ransom, they could go abroad where the Lamont family wouldn't be able to find them.
