Meanwhile, news about the wife of the Brooks Groupâs CEO getting kidnapped was spread across the internet, attracting everyoneâs attention The news became a trending topic in an instant Lyra, who was watching the news at home, was stunned when s she saw the headline, She wondered who had the nerve to kidnap Maeve.
The next instant, Lyraâs phone rang as Charlie called her.
Lyra immediately answered, âHello! Charlie, listen to me-
âMaeve has been kidnapped?â
The person speaking wasnât Charlie. The calm and deep voice from the other end of the line was obviously Zionâs.
âIâve just seen the news, but Iâm not sure if itâs true or not. When are you guys coming back?â Lyra was slightly anxious.
Maeve had been staying at Brooks Manor for the past few days. No one knew if she had made any agreements with Sergio. In order not to reveal Maeveâs identity as the CEO of Mirage Group, they hadnât met up recently.
However, Maeve just happened to be kidnapped within these few days.
Lyra waited for Zionâs reply, but nothing came through from the other end of the line.
âZee? Zee?â
Lyra hadnât encountered such a situation before, so she didnât know what to do.
After a moment, Charlieâs voice sounded. He said, âDonât worry! Weâre meshing back right now. Stay calm, okay?â
Despite that, it was hard for her not to worry.
Lyra looked grim. After hanging up the phone, she instantly got all the Jansen familyâs connections to investigate and verify this incident.
She couldnât help wondering who in Seathbum City actually had the audacity to kidnap Mave.
Meanwhile, Clare, who was at Belleâs rented house, saw the news. She couldnât stop trembling. No one knew if she had reacted that way because she was agitated or terrified.
However, Delle was a little scared. She hadnât expected the situation to escalate to this point. More police officers had been dispatched too.
âClara, if this gets exposed, then we...
Belle didnât dare to imagine how severe the punishment would be if they were caught being involved in such a serious crime.
âWhat are you afraid of? If this gets exposed, no one will pay your gambling debts. If you go to jail, your limbs wonât get chopped off. You wonât lose anything, either way.
Despite saying that, Clara didnât put down her phone.
She was waiting for the good news from the other side.
st news about the kidnapping However, instead of receiving news of Maeveâs death, she had received the latest i The news reported that the kidnappers had requested ten billion dollars as ransom from the Brooks Group. They would release Maeve once they got the money.
Clara was stunned when she saw that.
âWâWhatâs going on?â
She didnât tell them to ask for money from Sergio. She had only wanted Maeve dead.
How could they not keep their promise?
âClara, w- what does this mean?â Belle asked anxiously.
Claraâs mind was in a mess. She chided furiously, âStop it! Can you stop talking next to my ears?â
Belle was startled by Claraâs response.
Clara immediately took out her phone, looking grim. She wondered where she had gone wrong.
She called the kidnappers and yelled frantically, âWhat are you doing? Why didnât you follow my orders? Kill Maeve Scott!â
