Grace had now been thrown into another car.

Lucian tied a piece of ck cloth over her eyes as he threatened her, "Ms. Lambert, it would be best for you to cooperate. You''re just going to get yourself hurt if you resist."

Grace didn''t move and let the cloth cover her eyes. She could tell the car had changed directions, and the people in the car had been careful not to talk the whole time.

These people seemed more professional than the ones who hade after her in the past.

After driving for an hour, they finally stopped. One of them hoisted her over his shoulder. After walking for quite some distance, she was thrown to the ground. As the door closed shut, the world became silent.

Grace''s hands were tied behind her back, so she could only try to get up first. Using a fixed point for support, she managed to get up and then rubbed the blindfold off her face.

There was no light around her aside from a faint beaming through the small window at the top. It was clear the kidnappers were still guarding outside.

Her gaze scanned her surroundings. But because of the ropes tied around her legs, she couldn''t move very well and almost tripped on a stone.

She quickly changed directions and moved her hands against the stone back and forth, hoping the rope could snap.

The kidnappers were surprisingly patient, clearly waiting for someone''s order. Since they hadn''t received a call, they didn''t make any move. So, she had to make the most of this time to escape.fnab7f Checktest chapters at find?novel/fnab7f

Just as the rope on her hands loosened, Grace quickly bent down to loosen the ones on her legs and then stood under the small window. The window was high up, about nine feet off the ground. Besides some stones, the room was bare. There was nothing that could help her reach the window.

She could only pick the sharpest stone in the pile. Then, she found two broken sticks in the corner. She used the ropes to tie the sticks and the stone together to make a simple weapon. She gave it a few swings to test it, and it seemed like it could do some damage.

Grace stood at the back of the door, quietly waiting for the kidnappers toe in. However, there were still no footstepsing from outside even after she waited for an hour.

What she didn''t know was that the kidnappers were also bing impatient and had started toin.

"What does that woman want to do anyway? She''s not even giving us the next instruction," one of the men mumbled.

With a cigarette in his hand, Lucian let out a scoff. "Rx, she''s still discussing things. Why are you in such a rush? We''ll take the money and disappear."

"I just don''t get it. What''s there to discuss when dealing with a woman?

"If she wants the woman dead, we''ll just strangle her ourselves. And if she wants her ruined, we can handle that ourselves too. What exactly is soplicated about it?"

Lucian flicked the ashes from his fingertips, his gaze full of sarcasm.

"Truly smart people don''t really care about a person''s life. Human lives mean nothing to them. What they, really want is to y with other people''s fates while getting the thing they''re after. They''re not like@s; we''re just the muscle."  s

As Lucian finished his words, everyone else gulped nervously.

One of them turned his head and asked, "Lucian, you seem like you know a lot about how these rich people think. Wasn''t your family also věry rich b?rore? I remember your family opened a casino."  s

Lucian paused for a moment before flicking ashes from his fingertips again.

"It''s nothing. I''ve just seen enough to

know how things work." Just as he finished speaking, he quickly looked back to his phone as he were waiting for someone''s call  s

...

Joanne and Yancey finally met up. They met up in a very discreet location, and there were only the two of them present. The ce was dimly lit, adding to the secrecy.

After Joanne sat down, she directly asked, "Mr. Henderson, I assume you''ve got what it takes to draw Grace''s boyfriend out?"
