Chapter 142

“Dear, you finally picked up the phone!” Mr. Griffin’s voice trembled slightly in excitement.

Rachel raised her eyebrows slightly. “Tell me, how much are you planning to charge this time?”

According to her understanding of Mr. Griffin, he would never have called her if he was not desperately

short of money.

Mr. Griffin was good at everything. His only flaw was that he would lose his rationality when he sees

any rare items at the auction.

Therefore, when she received Mr. Griffin’s call, Rachel thought that it was most likely for money.

“Looks like you’re Miss Grey, huh?” An unfamiliar and arrogant question came from the receiver.

As soon as he finished speaking, she heard Mr. Griffin shout from the other end, “Help! They

kidnapped…”

“Old fogy, if you don’t behave yourself, I’ll cut off your tongue!” The man scolded angrily, accompanied

by a muffled groan as Mr. Griffin fell to the ground.

Mr. Griffin was kidnapped?!

A cold glint suddenly appeared in Rachel’s eyes, and her delicate face was covered with a sullen

coldness. “What do you want!”

“As expected of the boss of Glamour Pavilion, you’re so open-minded, Miss Grey.” The man smiled

insincerely and said, “We want 50 million USD to be sent to the pier in an hour! Otherwise, I’ll take this

old fogy’s life!”

With that, the other party hung up.

Rachel frowned slightly. Mr. Griffin usually stayed at home most of the time. Who could he have

provoked?

Suddenly, an idea flashed in her mind.

For some reason, she thought of the suspicious car that tailed her yesterday.

Rachel immediately contacted Lucas and tracked down Mr. Griffin’s location through the phone call.

He wasn’t at the pier, but at an unfinished building.

She pursed her lips and drove straight to the unfinished building.

Olivia happened to see Rachel’s car pass by her on the way back to the Cruise family’s residence after

meeting a close friend for tea.

A trace of coldness instantly appeared on her face.

Since she gave out a fake at Old Mr. Smith’s birthday banquet, she had lost all her pride in front of the

Smiths.

Chapter 142

She was so furious that she went to the antique shop to reason with them. After causing a scene, not

only did she not get any benefits, but she also made a fool out of herself.

Therefore, she secretly blamed all of this on Rachel.

She was determined to ruin Rachel’s reputation.

Olivia stared thoughtfully in the direction of Rachel’s car.

According to the Smiths, Rachel didn’t have any friends or relatives in Seaxas, so she didn’t need to

socialize at all. Now, she wasn’t driving toward Glamour Pavilion.

What was Rachel trying to do?

Could it be that she has some shameful secret?

At the thought of this, Olivia’s eyes narrowed slightly, and the corners of her mouth curled into a sinister

smile.

She wanted to see what Rachel was up to!

Rachel, who was in front, dialed Lucas’s number. “I’m heading to the unfinished building now. Bring

some people over to support me.”

“Ah, why did you act first without informing me beforehand!?” Lucas could not help but sigh.

Immediately after, there was the sound of people putting on their clothes in a flurry. “Rachel, I’m

warning you. Before I bring my men over, you’re not allowed to act on your

own!”

“I’ll try my best.” With that, Rachel hung up.

She looked up at the rearview mirror and noticed the car following behind her. The corners of her eyes

were slightly raised in mockery.

Olivia noticed that Rachel’s car suddenly sped up. She wondered if she had been exposed.

Or did Rachel have an unspeakable secret that she was worried might be discovered?

She made up her mind and sped up to catch up.

After driving for over an hour, the car finally reached an uninhabited area.

This place was unmanaged all year round. Weeds had grown everywhere, and the old facilities hidden

in the grass gave off a sinister and terrifying vibe.
