Following the instructions on her phone, Ms. Sutton arrived at the designated address. Standing at the foot of the building, she dialed her son's number, but the voice that answered didn't belong to him.
"Hey! I'm here. Where are you?" she demanded.
Moments later, a man emerged from the stairwell. He scanned their surroundings with sharp, vigilant eyes before glaring fiercely at her. "Follow me."
Ms. Sutton flinched, an involuntary shiver racking her body, but she braced herself and followed. "W-what exactly have you done to my son? I'm warning you, my employer is Master Damien of the Valerius family! If I tell him about this, he'll definitely stand up for me. Don't try anything stupid!"
Hearing her trembling threats, the thug simply sneered. Without a word, he led her into the hollow, empty building and shoved her into an elevator.
