Quickly, the call connected, but it wasn't Odie on the other end. It was Jonah.
Jonah's voice was cold as he said, "Ms. Vanessa, our boss has already made it clear that if you keep bothering him, he’ll handle you like a nuisance."
Vanessa was taken aback. She hadn't expected this number to belong to Jonah instead of Odie! The number Odie had given her was actually one of his subordinates'!
Right then, Ricardo was glaring at her menacingly. Vanessa had no choice but to stay calm. She said, "Jonah... please, ask Odie to take the call. I have something very important to tell him!"
"He isn’t interested."
As Jonah was about to hang up, Vanessa quickly blurted out, "I've been kidnapped! Ricardo said if he doesn’t get two billion dollars, he’ll kill me!"
"Ms. Vanessa, let me remind you, you and our boss have already broken off the engagement. Whether it’s two billion or two hundred dollars, it’s not our problem."
Vanessa’s face turned pale. Ricardo overheard that Vanessa and Odie had called off their engagement, "So... you’re useless now."
"Please! Don’t kill me!"
Ricardo scoffed, "The Pollard family would pay four billion for Ms. Sandy, Colby would pay four billion for Sophie. I thought being the fiancée of the Minton family, Odie would at least shell out two billion for you. Turns out... you’re not worth that much. Keeping you is pointless!"
Terrified, Vanessa stared at Ricardo and pleaded, "Without Odie... there’s still Colby! Colby promised my father he’d take care of me for life. He’ll save me!"
Vanessa’s call was still connected, and Jonah, hearing that Sophie was also kidnapped, frowned.
Outside the Minton family study, Odie had just walked in and asked, “What does Vanessa want?”
Jonah immediately hung up the call.

Enjoying the story, to much victimising Sophie, they could at least try to target others. Hope at some point Sophie comes clean and forgives James and explain her view of loving the boy James was. Just so they both learn and move on. Really needs to be some consequences for the instigators instead of being let go. Sandy needs to see Vanessa is using her as a cover, and Sandy needs to wake up to herself, or be held responsible by her father for alienating the people she was supposed to make contact with. Hope the reporter brother is keeping an eye on what Vanessa and Odie are up to, and that he has he’s own justice in store. Hope he becomes like Reese a good partner. Hope James lives and finds he’s HEA. Need to put Nicole in prison , no release and several lifetimes , with all the evidence on the crimes she’s committed just to get her out of the way guilt free. More about what’s up with Gordon....
Excellent novel!...
