Chapter 437
Stanley pressed the button to answer the call, and a gruff male voice came through.
“Hello, Mr. Hawk.”
Stanley’s expression remained unchanged as he gripped the phone. “Who are you?”
“You don’t need to know who I am. All you need to know is that the one you’re looking for is in my hands,” the voice replied.
Lilian, panic in her voice, spoke up, “He’s the one who took Jessica! Mr. Hawk, you have to save her!”
Stanley’s tone was cold as he asked, “Is Jessica with you?”
“That’s right,” the voice said. “Now, let me have her say a few words to you.”
Moments later, Jessica’s frantic voice came through the phone, “Stanley, help me! Please, I’m so scared!”
Stanley’s lips twisted into a sharp, emotionless line. “What do you want?”
“I want money,” the voice responded harshly. “Prepare 100 million, and I want it now.”
Stanley let out a humorless laugh. “You kidnapped someone, and you’re trying to extort 100 million from me? That’s enough to put you in prison for the rest of your life.”
The gruff voice didn’t sound intimidated. “Don’t try to scare me. I’m not easily intimidated. Do you think 100 million is too much to save one person? Well, what if there are two?”
Stanley’s eyes narrowed. “Two people?”
At that moment, Samuel rushed over. “Mr. Hawk, Wendy is missing.”
Earlier, when Dr. Ceylan hadn’t shown up, Samuel had gone upstairs to check, only to find that Wendy was gone.
Stanley froze for a moment, then tightened his grip on the phone. “Is Wendy in your hands too?”
Meanwhile, in a secluded warehouse on the outskirts, Wendy slowly regained consciousness.
She found that her hands and feet were tied, and standing in front of her was a man with a scarred face, along with a few others in black clothing.
Wendy realized she had been kidnapped.
This day was turning out to be quite the spectacle. She had planned to reveal her true identity as Dr. Ceylan, but instead, she had ended up in this situation.
Just then, a familiar voice echoed in the distance. “Wendy, are you awake?”
Wendy turned her head and saw Jessica, also bound and lying next to her.
Wendy’s breath caught in her throat. “Jessica? You’re here too?”
Jessica struggled against her ropes. “You have to let us go! I’m Stanley’s girlfriend! If you touch even a hair on me, he’ll make sure you regret it. This is his turf–he’ll make sure you can’t escape!”
The man with the scar, holding a phone, chuckled darkly. “I know you’re Mr. Hawk’s girlfriend, and this one is his ex–wife.”
Scarface stepped closer to Wendy. “Why don’t you say something to Mr. Hawk?”
