"What are you going to do?"Seeing the creepy smile on Bruce's face, Anna turned pale with fear.Bruce took off his undershirt and stood in front of Anna half-naked with a scary smile.Anna froze. Bruce’s current look sent a chill through her."Don’t... Don't come over...""I'll call my father now and tell him to prepare money! How much do you want? I will promise to give it to you." Anna was so frightened that she exclaimed.As soon as Bruce heard the word “money”, he was stunned.He had few scruples now, perhaps because he had had alcohol.He picked up the phone and shook it, saying, "Tell me the number, and I'll dial it."Bruce still refused to untie Anna's hands and feet. He was worried that Anna would play tricks."Okay, I'll tell you the number, and you dial it." Anna hid the flash of wit in her eyes.Anna gave Bruce a number.It was not her father's phone number but Liam's.Bruce did not know whose phone number it was, so he dialed it."He turned off the phone!" Br
At Hamilton’s mansionLooking at the hung-up phone, Daniel was so nervous that his hands couldn’t stop trembling.Nicole was standing next to him. She heard the phone and she was thrilled secretly in her heart. But she put on a rather worried expression on her face."What's happened to Anna?""She's been kidnapped. The kidnappers are demanding a ransom of $20 million within an hour." Daniel said."What? $20 million!" Nicole's voice pitched unconsciously.Nicole had just heard their talk on the phone and she had recognized the voice of the man at the other end. It was Bruce.Bruce was so bold and greedy to ask for such a large amount of money. He would not fear that his big appetite would blast his stomach.Seeing Daniel’s eyes turned to her, Nicole said hurriedly, "How did Anna get kidnapped? Danny, is there anyone who has held a grudge against you lately? Or maybe it is your competitor?"Daniel pondered for a while and then he answered in a deep voice, "I don't know. It’s for
Liam turned on the monitoring system on Anna’s side and listened carefully to the sound at that end.He was so driving fast that he couldn't wait to show up in front of Anna.Bruce's smug voice came from the other end of the phone."I can enjoy my rest life with 30 million dollars.""Hah....""I didn't expect Ms. Anna from Hamilton’s family to be so valuable. I really did the right thing this time."As the distance getting closer and closer, Liam's face became ruthless. He sneered, "I'm afraid that you have money but you have no life to spend it."He did not know how Anna was doing now, there had not been any sound.Thinking of that man hitting her earlier, the anger in Liam's chest flared up.He must cut off that man's hands and feet and turn him into a stick! Bruce would pay a heavy price if he touches his woman.……Anna now felt light-headed and was shivering with cold.She seemed to have a fever. How could she be sick at a time like this?She gripped her fist hard and pierced he
"Now, you can only trust me!"Bruce tightened his grip on Anna and pressed the dagger fiercely against Anna's slim white neck.Anna was also very scared now. But as Liam was here, she suppressed her fear soon. "Trust him. Since he promised you, he will definitely keep his promise," Anna said in a weak voice.Liam saw the trust in Anna's eyes. His chest seemed to tighten, and he suddenly had an indefinable feeling.He was desperate to take Jessica into his arms and protect her carefully instead of putting her in danger.The police officers outside were still shouting, "A sniper is ready now. You’d better release the hostages as soon as possible."Seeing the infrared rays outside the window keep sweeping around him, Bruce completely panicked."Don’t you dare come over and touch me. Otherwise, I will kill her!" The dagger in Bruce's hand was trembling.Anna was choked by him and had difficulty in breathing, her beautiful little face crinkling up.Liam panicked. "What are you go
Slowly Anna opened her eyes. The white-painted ceiling and the dazzling bulb light came into her eyes. She was in a daze. It was like a few months ago when she had been hospitalized for an eye injury. She hurriedly closed her eyes. It took quite a while for her to recover herself. Then gradually she opened her eyes again. There was pain everywhere in her body. Her head ached as well, and her consciousness was in chaos. She tried to recall her memory. But all she could remember was that she had passed out and fallen into Liam's arms, and after that, she had no idea. "Anna, you're awake?" An elderly and compassionate voice sounded in her ear. Anna turned her head and saw Grandmother Dawson looking at her concernedly. "Grandma..." Anna strained to open her mouth and made a hoarse sound. Her throat was dry and sore. Grandmother Dawson patted her on the shoulder and said tenderly, "Don't be in such a hurry to talk, Anna. You are still too weak. You need to rest. Let grandm
Chapter 401: Mom will protect youAnna seemed to be asleep. Daniel's voice came to her ears. "Anna, it's great that you're okay! Daddy was so worried about you..." "Rest well. Treat yourself better, all right?" Daniel felt very guilty now. Thankfully, Anna was fine so that he didn't have to carry another eternal guilt on his mind. While Anna was in the hospital, Daniel can't sleep well at home. He often dreamed of Anna's mother. Whenever this happened, he would immediately wake up from his dreams. He was sweating and could no longer sleep. Nicole stayed with him and comforted him, but not relieving him of his frustration. Nicole didn't know what Daniel was worried about. But after this kidnapping, Daniel cared more about Anna. He often thought about whether Anna can eat and sleep well in the hospital. He also often visited Anna in the hospital. But no one knew if Anna did it on purpose. Every time Daniel came, she was sleeping. She always refused to l
Chapter402 You Were That ManIn the mansion of the Hamilton family.Daniel had gone to the company to appease the shareholders and didn’t return.The police looked into the incident this time. It was so serious that everyone was paying attention to the future heir of the Lincoln Group—Anna Hamilton.The Internet media also reported the news about the kidnapping of Ms. Hamilton, which was likely to be related to the internal conflict of the Hamilton family.But soon, the news was suppressed, and all the news about Anna disappeared.Nicole was at home. She was worried that Bruce would be caught so she was quite anxious. Then Chloe's call came in suddenly."Hello? Mommy, do you know that Anna is pregnant?" Chloe's said in an anxious voice."I know. How could I not know! Where are you now? Is it appropriate to speak? Be careful that the walls have ears."Chloe lowered her voice, "Yeah, I'm hiding in the room. There is no one around me."Nicole breathed a sigh of relief, and said
Chapter 403 Get out, don't touch meLiam punched Bruce in the face with his fists.As Bruce slapped Anna, Liam would definitely return him a hundred times more.Bruce broke down in tears with pain, his mouth bleeding and voice faint."I'm wrong...I'm really wrong...""Spare me...""Please let me off..."Liam was disgusted at the sound of him, hitting him heavily. At last Bruce could do nothing but groan mournfully.After a while he was beaten to a pulp, and the ground near him was filled with blood drops from his mouth.Liam took off the brass knuckles and James quickly passed him a hot towel."Now, tell me, who is behind you?" He wiped his hands and threw the towel.Bruce opened his mouth, blood and coughs came out before his voice."It's...Nicole, the...stepmother of Ms. Hamilton."Bruce dared not tell the truth that he snatched Anna just for himself. If he didn't find a scapegoat, Liam must kill him. Thus at this time why didn't he put the blame on the bitch Nicole and get back at
