Kale hesitated.
Drake furrowed his brow. “What is it?”
Kale sighed, “Miss Bernard was kidnapped by Edgar.”
“Oh, and what does that have to do with me? Edgar needs money, right? He wants a
ransom?”
“Yes.”
“Well, he should be asking Marion for money. Marion was the one who promised to take care of Cathryn.”
Drake brushed it off and loosened his tie. “Go pack your things. We don’t need to get involved in Cathryn’s

“But...”
“What is it now?”
“Debra has also been kidnapped.”
“By Edgar? Ha!”
“I heard it over the phone. Besides Debra, Liza has also been taken. It sounds like Edgar is demanding a ransom
of one trillion dollars.”
“One trillion? Has he lost his mind?”
“Desperate people do desperate things.”
Inside the abandoned factory, Debra leaned against the van and took out her phone..
“Are you sure you don’t wantto call Marion? Both of them have already made calls. What's holding you
back?” she said.
“Shut up!” Edgar snapped.
He wasn’t sure about that idea. If Marion traced the call, not only would he not get the ransom, but he might also
lose his life.
“You're not that dumb after all. At least, you know calling Marion is a bad idea. So, what do we do now? Catch up
or maybe haggle over the price? Don’t forget you still owea loan that has rolled over to 30 billion dollars
now.”
“Don’t get wise withhere,” Edgar growled. Take out your SIM card right now. I'll contact Marion myself.”

Debra knew he feared being traced but remained calm. She removed the SIM card from her phone and tossed it
aside.
Edgar froze, surprised by her swift compliance
Debra stepped forward. “Since we're all here, letremind you. Miss Eaton is delicate. If you hurt her, the
Eaton family will not let you off the hook.”
Edgar paused, considering her words.
Debra pointed at Liza's bound hands. “Such a thick rope could hurt her wrists. You know, Fermin is very
protective of her. He might chop off your hands if he found out.”
Liza unod that Debra was helping her. She echoed, “Exactly. My brother and dad lovedearly. If you keep me
tied up like this, they will not let you go.”
Edgar glanced at her and said, “I can untie you, but if you try to run, Ill shoot you in the leg.
Za, terrified by his threat, watched as Edgar began to untie the rope. Halfway through, he suddenly turned to
Debra, ‘You, chere.”
