BD and the rest of the men did not find anything suspicious about her.
"You fools! She doesn't have any money at all. I can't believe you guys fell for her lies! You should be stripping her now if you have any brains! You might be able to earn more if you take a few naked photos of her and sell them to gossip magazines," mocked Wendy.
Melody remained unfazed. "Ignore her. Switch to the card ending in 84 and see if there's any balance in there." Melody appeared completely calm, and the blonde followed her instructions to try a different card.
Lucas arrived earlier than the police did.

They chose an open space a bit farther from the two buildings. Although it was nearly a mile away from the abandoned building, it was still the best option.
Lucas grunted and lowered his ice-cold gaze. "I'm not sure how many kidnappers there are. I'll go in first." "Mister Lucas! You can't go in alone..." Edmund tried to stop him.
The police moved in to stop him as soon as they heard that Lucas intended to go into the abandoned building. "Mister Lucas, as you said, we're not sure how many people are inside. It might alert them to our presence if you just barge in there. That'll make it even more difficult for the rescue team later," reasoned Edmund.
He understood very well that Lucas was letting his emotions cloud his judgment.
"Mister Lucas, the helicopter has landed, and the police officers will reach the target point within two minutes. Please remain calm and wait for us. We'll go in together!" Lucas clenched his fists. Waiting another two minutes beneath the building where Melody was kidnapped, unsure of her condition and fearing the worst, was making it hard for him to stay rational.
To not tip off the kidnappers and to apprehend them all at once, Lucas forced himself to calm down. He and several police officers lurked in the corner near the entrance on the left side of the abandoned building, their eyes fixed on the movements around the staircase.
One second. Two seconds.
In the silence, he could only hear the sound of his own heartbeat.
Meanwhile, upstairs, the faces of the three thugs were darker than the bottom of a pot. They had swiped several cards, but all of them showed insufficient balance.
BD gritted his teeth and walked to Melody. He grabbed her hair and pulled her head back, causing her to arch backward.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Ah!" Melody cried out in pain. She kept her eyes closed as she was afraid of revealing the fear in them. "What are you doing? Isn't there one more card left? Swipe that one first. If there's still insufficient balance, you can do whatever you want to me!" The blonde was also agitated. Melody claimed to be very wealthy, but not a penny was found even after five cards were swiped.
BD eased the pressure on Melody's hair. "You better pray that your sugar daddy has put money in your last card. Otherwise You're going to on experience what you couldn't bear to watch what we were going to do to Wendy earlier. I'm pretty sure a lot of people will be interested in naked photos of you!"
BD's hand caressed Melody's cheek.
'Her face is so beautiful, so delicate, and so smooth Melody frowned, suppressing her discomfort. "Why don't you swipe the card before talking!" Meanwhile, outside....
