Pierre was about to go to sleep.
However, there were some people who just would not let him sleep. His caretaker, Elena, had only just sat down when her cell phone rang.
Pierre opened his eyes, feeling irritated. "Are you thinking of quitting this job or what?"
Elena shuddered. She instinctively thought it was her phone even though she remembered having put it on silent mode. She took it out and realized it was not her phone that was ringing.
"Mr. Pierre, it's your phone." She quivered as she offered a reminder.
Pierre was startled for a moment.
Since his accident, he had become the butt of jokes in his circle. Everyone called him Limp Leg Pierre.
As a crippled heir of the Mallory family, he was deemed powerless. Hence, people were reluctant to associate with him.
Hence, his phone had always been silent. Even when it rang, he thought it was Elena's phone.
Pierre turned over and picked up his phone. His heart skipped a beat when he saw a string of numbers.
He had a bad feeling, and fear spread from the depths of his heart throughout his body.
Memories of his kidnapping flooded back, and fear rose within him.
Elena noticed that he was hesitating to answer the call. She could not help but curiously ask, "Mr. Pierre, why aren't you answering the phone?"
Pierre came back to his senses. After seeing the string of numbers just now, he realized that he had been living in fear.
He glared at Elena, knowing he could not escape.
Even if Abel could not show up, Pierre still had to face him when he was discharged.
Abel was Pierre's nightmare!
Pierre knew it was useless to regret provoking that organization now. He dismissed Elena and said, "I need to take a call. Step out and close the door."
"Yes, sir." Elena shivered. She immediately hurried out and closed the door.
The person on the other end of the line patiently waited.
Pierre took a deep breath and answered the call.
"Who's this?"
On the other end of the line came a contemptuous laughter.
It was this laughter that made every hair on Pierre's body stand on end and his body involuntarily shudder.
He recognized the owner of this laughter.
"Mr. Pierre, do you still remember me?" The voice on the other end of the call seemed ethereal and sinister. It was as though it came from hell and wanted to drag Pierre down.
Pierre knew that this call was definitely not for anything good, but there was nothing more for him to fear since he was already in such a situation.
He took a deep breath, summoning the courage to face this nightmare. "I know it's you, but this is A City. How dare you call me? Aren't you afraid of the police here?"
"If I was afraid, I wouldn't have kidnapped you. How's your leg? I heard it's not getting any better." The person on the other end of the phone seemed to have been monitoring him all along, easily picking at his most sensitive spot.
Pierre wished he could jump up and shoot the man right away.
However, he could not. He did not even know the man's true identity, so how could he accurately shoot him?
"If you have the guts, don't hide behind a facade. Stand in front of me openly. Let's see if the police and the Mallory family can do anything to you." Pierre knew how to threaten people effectively, so he lowered his voice and threatened the man.
"You're just hiding behind all those people. Who do you think you are?"
