Chapter: 45
Harold drove to the appointed place by himself.
He got out of the car, carefully reached for the suitcase of twenty million dollars in cash, and headed inside the warehouse with trepidation.
A large scar ran across the kidnapper's face, rendering him quite terrifying. As soon as Harold handed him the suitcase of cash, he opened it and inspected a few wads of bills. After he confirmed that they were authentic, his eyes lit up greedily.
“Mr. Moore, you're indeed generous! If you were this sensible before,
Miss Fowler wouldn't have suffered this traumatic experience."
With a chuckle, the man ordered his subordinate to let go of Cecilia.
Cecilia immediately threw herself into Harold's arms and cried,
“Harold, what took you so Long? My leg... It hurts... I think it's broken... They said that if you didn't come, they would rape me..."
Harold hugged her tightly and tried to comfort the hysterical Cecilia.
But the whole time, his eyes were fixed on Rena.
Rena struggled desperately, but she couldn't say a word because she had been gagged with a piece of cloth.
At this point, she knew Harold well. He wouldn't bat an eyelash to sacrifice her for his own benefit!
Their eyes met, but Harold kept silent.
He just watched as Rena struggled.
The man chuckled and raised Rena's chin with the hilt of his knife.
“Mr. Moore, this girl is so beautiful. She's worth two million at least. Since you're so rich, you can take her if you cough up the money. It's fine if you don't want her. We can always entertain her ourselves..."
Harold could easily afford two million dollars.
But he refused to give them the money!
Waylen already suspected him. He couldn't risk letting Cecilia suspect his relationship with Rena! If Cecilia found out, she'd definitely break off the engagement, and years of his efforts would go down the drain.
Having to choose between power and Rena, Harold chose the former.
Harold didn't dare to look into Rena's hatred-filled eyes. He simply turned around and said coldly, "I don't know her!"
Rena had already expected such a result, but she still felt incredibly let down.
