Chapter 395
"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!" Bruce got angry.
"What? He turned off?" Anna was also surprised.
Liam actually turned off his phone at that moment!
She was in danger and needed him now, but unfortunately, he actually turned off his phone.
"You don't lie to me, right?" Bruce stared at Anna suspiciously.
"No! Now I am under your control. I do not dare to lie t o you."
Bruce gritted his teeth and said, "I bet you don't dare t o lie! Does your father have any other numbers?"
"No, that is his only number. Oh! I remember that his cell phone can block strangers’ numbers. You can use my phone to call him!"
Bruce narrowed his eyes warily and asked, "Anna, are you playing tricks on me?"
"No, I'm not. Why don't you believe me? If you really don't believe me, how are you going to ask my father for money?"
"Or should we just keep the standoff? How can you get the money if you kidnapped me without informing my father?"
Bruce thought that Anna had a point, but he felt a little weird if he listened to Anna. He was worried that Anna would scheme against him.
"Wait a moment. Let me consider whether to use your phone to call him or not!"
Bruce held the phone and wandered around the small room with a limp.
He was desperate to use Anna to take revenge on Daniel, but he was worried that he was digging his own grave by doing so.
Anyway, Anna has a point. If he hurt Anna, it would be just what Nicole hoped for!
Nicole has long been eager to kill Anna.
If he killed Anna, Nicole would also have the opportunity to kill him.
"I have to think about it..." Bruce muttered.
In the Ackman Group, Liam was sitting in the president's office and seriously staring at the two files in front of him.
One of the files was about James's previous investigation into Anna, and the other was about the investigation into Ethan.
He was comparing the two people's files to see whether there was something in common. Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
After comparing them for a long time, he didn't find any clues.
Liam was a little distracted, so he put the two files back into the drawer.
He glanced at his watch. It was already past midnight.
He wondered where Anna was now.
Did she keep comforting Nina all night?
He allowed her to take a night’s break, but she did not have the decency to call him.
Liam picked up his cell phone. Only then did he remember that he had already turned off his phone. N o wonder nobody called him tonight.
Since Anna hung up on him, he got angry and turned off the phone in anger.
He hurriedly turned the phone on.
As he expected, there were no missed calls from Anna.
Liam's face clouded over.
He angrily grabbed his jacket and strode out of the company. He opened GPS on his cell phone to check where Anna was now.
"Why is she in such a remote place? What is she doing?"
Liam stared at GPS and frowned.
He got into the car, started it, and casually threw the phone aside.
"She can do whatever she likes. It has nothing to do with me," Liam said angrily.
He went back to Fitzrovia Hills.
Just as he was about to enter his house, his phone rang.
He glanced at the phone. It was Anna.
He smiled with gentleness in his eyes.
'She still misses me after all!'
He deliberately waited for a few seconds before slowly answering the phone.
Anna's voice came immediately at the other end of the phone.
"Daddy!"
Daddy?
Liam was stunned.
"Daddy, where are you? I need a sum of money."
Liam froze again.
He wondered whether Anna was drunk.
"Did you have the wrong number?" Liam asked in a cold voice.
"Dad, I want ten million dollars. Can you transfer it to me now? I will send you an account number."
Liam's frown gradually deepened.
"Dad, I'm your daughter after all. You don't want me to live with little money, do you? I have a job now, and I need money for food and clothing!"
"After all, I am the daughter of the Hamilton family, the future heiress to Lincoln Group. I can't let my colleagues look down on me."
Liam's thick brows wrinkled more deeply.
He had an inkling that Anna was probably in danger.
"Okay! Send me the account number," he said while getting into the car. He located Anna and hurriedly drove his car.
"Don't hang up. I'll transfer the money to you immediately..." Before Liam could finish his words, the other end of the line hung up.
"Anna!"
Liam hurriedly called Anna, but her cell phone had already been turned off.
"Anna, you must not get hurt."
Liam pressed down on the accelerator, and the car sped away.
In the rental apartment, Bruce held Anna's phone in his hand and glared at Anna with a fierce look.
When Anna was speaking to Liam on the phone, Bruce suddenly took the phone over and listened.
Bruce did not expect that it was a young man's voice o n the other end of the phone.
Daniel certainly did not have such a young voice!
Bruce knew he had been fooled, so he hurriedly hung u p the phone and turned it off.
Bruce raised his hand and slapped Anna hard across the face.
"Bitch, this is not your father's damn phone number. How could your father sound that young?"
"How dare you play tricks on me! Luckily, I had a bad feeling and hung up without talking. Otherwise, I would have really fallen into your trap!"
Bruce was still furious and slapped Anna's face again.
His slap made Anna dizzy. Her face instantly became red and swollen. She felt a searing pain in her cheeks.
Anna did not expect Bruce to be so alert.
She wondered if Liam could notice that something was wrong and could find her!
Thinking of his cold voice on the phone, she was a little disappointed and gradually became hopeless.
Bruce grabbed Anna, whose hands and feet were tied, and quickly left the rental apartment.
