At that moment, Sergio's phone rang-
Maeve glanced down and saw Larry's name displayed on the caller ID.
Larry's voice sounded urgent. "Mr. Brooks, there's a problem."
"What is it?"
"Ms. Hoffman... she's missing!"
"Have you checked with the Hoffman family?!
"We've already sent some people there. Ms. Hoffman didn't return home."
Maeve listened closely.
There was only one route back from Royal Bistro. If Cecilia had returned, she would have crossed paths with Larry's car. Something had to have happened. Did Clara make a move against Cecilia?
Maeve frowned slightly. Even if Clara wanted to act against Cecilia, it wouldn't be this fast. After all, she had just met Cecilia for the first time tonight.
Sergio hung up the phone and said to Marve, "Go and take a shower. I'll handle everything else."
Just as he finished speaking, Sergio received a text message. "If you want to save Ms. Hoffman, prepare one million dollars in ransom. Don't call the police." The kidnappers had also provided a location.

The abandoned car factory was eerily quiet, but there were faint sounds of a woman struggling coming from somewhere.
Maeve quickly pinpointed Cecilia's location, which was nearby in a small workshop
But the next moment, a figure rushed out from the comer. The person, who was wearing a mask, held a knife against Maeve's neck. Sergio's face darkened instantly. "I've brought the money. Let her go!" Maeve could feel the hand of the person holding the knife trembling. He was cle
clearly not a professional kidnapper.
When she had been kidnapped by Devon before, those people had been much more professional than the person behind her now. "Don't come any closer, or I'll kill her!"
The man's voice sounded young, like a teenager'sContent rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.
Marve said calmly, "Keep the hand holding the knife steady. If you hurt me, you won't get the money, and you'll also lose your lite." "Shut up!"
Although the man was loud, his hand that was holding the knife was now farther away from Maeve's neck.
