Chapter 51: Desperate Measures–2
But Connor’s brow creased sharply as he joined us. His ice–blue eyes had darkened
with suspicion.
“My father’s already reviewing the security tapes,” I added anxiously. “Let’s split up
and search, and send more people to help.”
Suddenly, a collective gasp rippled through the crowd. Everyone’s heads whipped toward the giant electronic screen that dominated one wall of the hall.
Originally set to show engagement videos and photos of Connor and me, it now displayed a horrifying sight: Grace tied to a chair, screaming and sobbing helplessly.
“Daddy, Mommy, Sister, where are you?” she waited, her little face contorted with terror. “Wuu wuu, I want Mommy! Bad uncles took me, please save me!”
Natalie’s legs buckled beneath her, eyes rolling back as she nearly fainted. I rushed to steady her, my own heart pounding with fear
Natalie sobbed uncontrollably against my shoulder. “Olivia… what do we do… If Grace
dies, I don’t want to live either…”
Despair and disbelief rippled through the gathered crowd. Murmurs of shock and horror filled the air as everyone stared at the screen in disbelief.
Katherine’s composed facade cracked slightly. “How could this happen? Everyone here is a trusted guest. How could someone kidnap Grace?”
Connor’s face darkened to a dangerous shade. “It was Vanessa. She just called me.”
The words hit me like a physical blow. “Vanessa?” I gasped, shock coursing through
My mind raced with implications. “Where is she? She’s coming after me! We must
find her now! Let me talk to her!”
As Connor took out his phone to call, the hall speakers suddenly crackled to life.
Vanessa’s voice, cold and clear, filled the space:
“Olivia Winters, if you want your sister alive, come to the rooftop.”

I froze for half a heartbeat, the words sinking in. Then panic propelled me forward as I
bolted for the elevators.
Connor swiftly caught up and gripped my arm tightly. “Liv, don’t go. It’s dangerous!”
