To Be Yours Again novel (Alec and Jenny) novel Chapter 789

When morning came, the news of Graham and James' abductions was at the center of public attention as the business day started. As Jenny expected, the stock price of Walter Inc and Windsor Corp took a plunge right as the market opened. The two families had no choice but to release a joint statement to assure the investors about Graham and James' safety, promising that the incident would not have any material impact on the two companies.

Jenny didn't have to worry about that because she had a team to deal with public relations. She had arrived at the small town and began exploring every nook and cranny that had anything to do with logs.

Ten minutes away from the one-hour deadline, she was sweating profusely and still stuck in the middle of the search. She had also instructed her staff to wire Kevin the money right in time to be safe.

At the logging factory, Kevin stared at his phone, annoyed he hadn't received the wire notification. "Call Jenny Walter and ask her if she is giving up on you." An hour was more than enough for her to gather the money for the ransom.

Jenny received another call, which she instantly picked up. "James?"

"Hey, Jenny," James replied but did not bring up the topic of ransom.

Kevin was already upset, and James' nonchalant demeanor of making small talk instead of asking about the money grated on his nerves. His blood boiled at the sight as he kicked James. "Wanna die?"

Kevin picked up the phone from the floor when James fell. "Jenny Walter, where's the money? Why haven't I received it? Are you fooling with me?"

"I thought you gave me an hour. I'm still gathering the money," Jenny answered, but she secretly asked the people around her to pin the location of the call.

Kevin snickered, "You're taking me as a fool. Did you really think I have no idea what you're up to? You're buying time to search for me."
