NovelEnglishChapter 361
Meanwhile, James and Helen were pacing anxiously in the living room at the Cunningham residence.
"We only nagged her a little but why is she so angry that she won't even pick up the phone? James, is it possible
that something happened to her?" Helen asked worriedly. She had made a dozen calls to Demi but she didn't
answer any of them.
Frustrated, James yelled, "Ignore her! I'm her father so I'm only fulfilling my responsibility when | nagged her.
How dare she hold a grudge against me?"
Helen glared at him angrily. "Stop saying nonsense. What good can cout from fighting with your children?
You're the elderly, so why can't you just forgive her? Forget it, | don't want to talk to you anymore. Sasha, drive
us to Demi's house later so we can see if she's okay!"
Helen was infuriated. "Why do you want to waste twaiting? You already know the results so there is no need
to wait. | can directly tell you the result. Matthew will definitely lose. Furthermore, this time, he will lose tens of
billions. It's hard to say if he'll even cback alive! Stop waiting for him!"

Hearing this, Sasha was furious. "Mom, how can you say that? Has Matthew ever offended you? How can you
curse him?"
Helen sneered, "I'm not cursing him, I'm just stating the facts. If you don't believe me, you can ask your father
whether there is any hope for Matthew."
James pursed his lips and said, "There's no need to ask me. Anyone in their right mind knows that Matthew is
hopeless."
Sasha was so enraged that she didn't want to continue the conversation. Just then, Helen's phone rang and she
answered the call.
"Hello, who is this?"
On the other side of the phone, a deep voice said, "You'll receive a video later. Once you finish watching it, call
me!"
As soon as he finished talking, he hung up the phone and Helen was confused.
"Who was that? Why is he askingto watch a video out of the blue? Is he insane?"
As she mumbled, she unlocked her phone and saw that she indeed received a video.
Then, Helen clicked on it and after a single glance, she immediately yelled in horror, "Demi!" James jumped up
from his seat and asked, "What's wrong? What happened?"
With tears streaming down her face, Helen muttered, "See... See it for yourself..."
With that, James took the phone from her and when he saw the video, his face turned pale.
"What's the matter?" Sasha walked over as well and after she took the phone and saw the video, a worried look
appeared on her face.
The video was showing a huge dog cage, and there were two people locked inside it-Demi and Liam. At the start
of the video, the two of them lay inside the cage, looking weak. Later, three huge wolfhounds entered the cage
and barked at them. If the wolfhounds weren't on leashes, they would've pounced on both Demi and Liam and
bitten them to pieces. They could be seen huddled in the corner of the cage, shivering in fear.

Just then, a voice outside the cage sneered, "Lift your head up and say something to your parents!"
Demi looked up in a panic and she screamed as she begged, "Dad! Mom! Save me! Please save me—"
With that, the video ended and the frfroze on Demi's panicked face.
"Wh-What is this? Where is Demi kept hostage? Why is she there?" Sasha asked anxiously.
With a teary voice, Helen said, "What should we do? What should we do? Hurry up and think of a way to save
Demi!"
James frowned and in a serious tone, he asked, "Did the video cfrom the man who called you a moment
ago? What did he say?"
It was then only Helen remembered. "Yes, he toldto call him after | finish watching the video."
Anxious, James yelled, "Then hurry up and call him!”
Helen quickly dialed the number and soon, the call was connected and she could hear someone scoff. "Have you
finished watching the video? Do you want your daughter to stay alive? Helpdo one thing and I'll free her!"
