Chapter 983
After hanging up the phone, Jaydon was nervous and sweated a lot.
Jaydon thought, “I’m not agreeing to Cassius’s conditions. I said those words to buy me some time.”
Buzz. Buzz. Buzz.
Jaydon called Joanna immediately after finishing the negotiation with Cassius.
Joanna heard the phone ring and immediately picked it up. “Hello, Jay.” Jaydon took a deep breath and asked,
“Joann, is Bruce there?”
Now, Bruce was the only one who could help Jaydon.
Jaydon was unwilling to beg Bruce for help. However, turning to Bruce was Jaydon’s only choice at the minute.
Hearing Jaydon’s request, Joanna subconsciously glanced at Bruce and quickly nodded, replying, “Yes, Bruce is right
beside me.”
Jaydon said, “Then put him on the phone. I need his help right now.” Joanna replied, “Oh, okay.” Then she quickly
handed the phone to Bruce. Joanna said, “Jay wants to speak to you.”
Bruce pursed his lips slightly. Then he took the phone and answered, “Hello.”
Jaydon’s tone was solemn. “Bruce, this is Jaydon.”
Bruce replied straightforwardly, “Yeah, I know. If you need anything, just say it.”
Jaydon replied, “I… I need your help now.” He had no other choice but to beg for Bruce’s help now.
Bruce frowned and said, “Tell me.” His expression was cold, and he kept the communication brief.
Jaydon paused. Then he said, “I called Cassius just now. He has Grace.

Grace’s life to threaten me.”
Bruce’s eyes flickered when he heard that.
Jaydon continued, “I have no choice but to pretend to agree to Cassius’s conditions. I asked Cassius to let Grace talk
to me, so I can confirm she is

safe.”
Buzz. Buzz. Buzz.
As they were talking, Jaydon received a call from Cassius.
Jaydon was holding two phones. He used one to speak to Bruce while he nervously looked at the call from Cassius
on the other phone.
Bruce said, “Just tell me how you want me to help you.”
Jaydon’s heart was beating fast. He said quickly, “Cassius is calling now.
Bruce, when I talk to Grace, I need you to trace the call and get Grace’s location.”
Bruce agreed readily, “No problem.”
Jaydon had no time for hesitation. He plucked up the courage and implored, “Also, after getting Grace’s location,
please immediately send your people to rescue Grace.”
Bruce replied decisively, “Alright, I’ll arrange it now.”
“Thank you.”
“You’re welcome.”
Bruce called Mark immediately after finishing the talk with Jaydon.
Mark asked, “Hello, Mr. Everett. What can I do for you?”
Bruce replied, “Track the location of a phone call for me right now.” “Okay, Mr. Everett, please give me the phone
number.”
“Wait a minute. I’ll send it to you later!”
“Noted.”
With that, Bruce hung up.
Bruce required his people to be prepared for his call at any time. Besides, Bruce was bad-tempered. Thus, those
who worked for Bruce could not slack off for a minute.
Mark quickly turned on his computers and was ready to track the location of the phone call at any time.
Then, Jaydon answered Cassius’s call and put it on speaker so Bruce could hear the conversation.
“Hi, Cassius.”
Cassius’s suspicious voice came from the other end of the phone. “Why takes you so long to answer the phone?”
10:36
Jaydon explained, “Nothing. My phone was charging just now. Where’s Grace?”
“Listen.” Cassius also held two phones. Then, he put the other phone on speaker.
Jaydon and Bruce focused their attention and did not even dare to breathe too loud.
Jaydon said, “Hi, Grace. How are you?”

the phone. “Jaydon? Jaydon, is that you? This is Grace, Come and save me.”
Jaydon asked, “Grace, are you safe now? Did you get hurt?
“Where are you now?”
Grace replied, “Jaydon, I’m so scared now. I don’t know where I am. Come and save me. Please!”
Jaydon was heartbroken when hearing his sister’s terrified and desperate crying. He quickly sent Cassius’s phone
number to Bruce via text message.
Jaydon asked, “Where are you now?”
Grace answered, “I also want to know where I am. Mountains all around here…”
“Beep. Beep. Beep.”
Before Grace could finish, Cassius hung up the phone.
Cassius said gloomily, “See? Grace is very safe now. You’ve heard her. You can relax now.”
Jaydon tensed up and did not know how to hold Cassius a little longer.
Bruce sent the number to Mark immediately after receiving it from Jaydon.
Jaydon frowned tightly and said, “Alright. Now let’s talk about how we do this trade.”
Jaydon thought, “All I can do now is to do my best to hold Cassius.
“I hope Bruce can find where Grace is by tracking the phone call and immediately send people to save her.
“However, I know very well that Cassius was calling another person when he called me.
10:36
“Therefore, Grace is definitely not by Cassius’s side.
“Bruce can only find Cassius’s location by tracking the call from Cassius.
“So, I had to do something to buy Bruce more time.”
