Half an hour of isolation made Evelyn feel as if she had been cut off from the world for an eternity.
She was scared, anxious, and uneasy, desperately hoping for someone to rescue her. But the unknown waiting made her start to doubt whether anyone would really come to save her.
The door to the storeroom opened, and a man with yellow hair walked in, holding a phone in his hand.
The man roughly tore the tape off Evelyn's mouth and said sharply, "Your husband wants to talk to you. Just tell him we haven't tortured you, but if those billion dollars don't arrive on time, we might just start the torture!"
"A billion!" Evelyn's eyes widened in shock, "Are you guys crazy? Using me to blackmail my husband for a billion dollars!"
Hearing Evelyn's voice, a very faint smile curved on Caden's tense and serious face on the other end of the phone.
Just by hearing her voice, one could tell the kidnappers hadn't done anything to her.
