Chapter: 44
She knew that Harold loved her and would protect her at all costs.
Just as they were about to end the call, a woman's trembling voice sounded in the background.
"Hey, don't touch me... I said, don't touch me!"
Harold's hand, which was holding the phone, trembled all of a sudden.
He knew whose voice that was.
It was Rena!
She had been kidnapped, too?
At the thought that those bastards might be touching her beautiful body, Harold's eyes turned murderous.
But when he met Waylen's intent gaze, he suddenly sobered up.
Waylen was a shrewd man. Harold figured that if Waylen found out about his relationship with Rena, all his previous efforts to get close to Cecilia would be in vain!
Harold knew how cruel he himself was.
So he pretended not to know that it was Rena and said to the kidnapper,
“I'LL bring the money. Don't you dare do anything to my fiancee!"
After saying that, he hung up in a trance.
To Korbyn and Juliette, he said, "I'm so sorry, Mr. and Mrs. Fowler.
Don't worry. I swear I'll bring Cecilia back safe and sound."
Korbyn nodded in approval.
Without a moment to Lose, Harold left the Fowler mansion to prepare the ransom.
Now, it was just Korbyn, Juliette, and Waylen left.
Juliette was a little relieved to see Harold leave to save her daughter. She wiped her tears and said hesitantly, “I thought I heard Miss Gordon's voice just now. Did you hear it, Waylen?"
To her surprise, Waylen was already heading out the door, car key in hand.
"I'm going to find out."
