Take Control of Yourself, Please novel (Anna and Liam)

Chapter 397 You Can Just Kill Her

At Hamilton's mansion

Looking 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. I t 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?" Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

Daniel pondered for a while and then he answered in a deep voice, "I don't know. It’s for sure that I have infringed on some people's interests in business these years. But those are all normal business competitions. It can't be so serious that someone would kidnap my daughter!"

"It's possible. But they are asking for $20 million straight up. How can we get that much money in such a short time? Will they kill Anna if we can't get the money?"

Daniel glared at her. "No, they won't. In the case of kidnapping, usually, they just ask for money. They certainly won't kill the hostage unless it's absolutely necessary. For now, the most important thing is to get the money first."

"Should we call the police?" Nicole said nervously.

Viciously in her mind, Nicole wished Anna would be killed. By then Bruce would also be finished at the same time. It would be best if the police shot him dead right at the site.

"No! We can't call the police now, lest the gangsters get irritated. What if he really kills Anna! She is my only daughter! I can't let anything happen to her."

His only daughter!

A sense of resentment arose in Nicole's heart.

Daniel had never regarded Chloe as his daughter, had he? If that was the case, she couldn't let Anna come back safe and sound!

Nicole wished Bruce had raped Anna already.

"Danny, I know you're worried about Anna. We all hope for her to be safe. But we can't trust that kidnapper, can we? What if he doesn't free Anna after he gets the money? Calling the police is a precaution."

Daniel frowned. He was silent for a long time.

Nicole sighed as if she was really concerned. And then she put on a coat for Daniel.

"Danny, take care of yourself! Don't be so worried. Watch out for your blood pressure. If anything happens to Anna, Lincoln Group will totally depend on you."

"Lincoln Group is such a large enterprise, with thousands of employees. All the burdens will be on your shoulders. You must not fall down."

Nicole's words seemed like she was concerned about Daniel, but actually, she was reminding him...

If something really happened to Anna... in this incident, then Lincoln Group could be rightfully owned by Daniel alone.

By then, Lincoln Group could also be justifiably changed to Hamilton Group.

A flash of light glowed at the bottom of Daniel's eyes.

That was the wish Daniel had been dreaming of for his whole life!

Although he had never mentioned it or showed it in his behavior, deep in his heart, Daniel always wished t o entitle Lincoln Group with Hamilton's family name.

"Danny, just in case, call the police. After all, it is such a large amount of money. There’s no way we can get it in an hour." Nicole said.

Daniel contemplated for a while, and then he nodded heavily, and finally, he said the word briskly.

"Okay."

In the rental apartment

Anna was lying on the cold floor. She felt dizzy and her eyelids were heavy.

She didn't know what was going on with her. There was a constant and subtle pain in her abdomen and she felt it was about her period.

She struggled to pull herself together.

The voice on the phone was so chilling and horrifying as if it came from Hell. But to Anna, it was so pleasant. It gave out warmth that she had never felt before.

"If you dare to touch her, I'll rip you apart."

Finally! Liam came to her rescue!

With Liam's words, she felt kind of reassured...

Through the phone, Bruce felt overwhelmed by an imperious and challenging power. A deep horror besieged him. His knees went weak unconsciously.

He wanted to hang up the phone hastily, but the voice came from the other end of the line again, "If you hang up the phone, you won't get a penny."

Liam, on the other end of the phone, was driving at his utmost speed.

On the stretching road, his car left only a shadow of faint red of the rear.

When Liam sensed that something must have gone wrong with Anna not being home so late, he checked Anna's location and found that she was in a desert area on the north side of town.

Liam turned his car around immediately and drove towards the place. At the same time, he called James and instructed him to bring their men there.

He turned on the wristband's monitor and heard that the man who had kidnapped Anna was trying to force her. He was extremely worried and infuriated. Calm a s he had always been, he had never been so scared, even his hand on the steering wheel trembled involuntarily.

Bruce had been terrified by Liam. He looked around in panic, and then he shouted,

"Who are you scaring?! I am not to be threatened!"

"I'll give you $50 million. You let the woman go." Liam said.

"Fifty million!?"

Bruce glanced at Anna, who was lying on the floor, and instantly he didn't feel so scared anymore. He

grinned.

This woman! She was worth a fortune!

Bruce exclaimed to the phone, "One hundred million dollars, not a penny less."

"Ten million."

Bruce had never seen anyone bargain like that, so he raged, "You're fooling me! Trust me! I can kill her right now! Do you believe me? I will rape her before I take her life."

Liam laughed at the other end of the line, "I had given you the opportunity, but you didn't appreciate it. Now you can only have ten million dollars, and besides, that woman isn't even worth that much."

Anna glared at the phone furiously.

Damn Liam! How could he use her to make a bargain!

Bruce claimed through his clenched teeth, "OK. Let's say $10 million, not a penny less. You get the money ready in an hour, or else I'll kill her."

Anyway, he would have another $20 million from Anna's father. It was not bad to have another $10 million.

"Fine! But if you hurt her, even by a hair, then not only will you not get the money, I'll tear you up for sure!"

Bruce sneered disdainfully, "How do I know you're telling the truth? What if you're just lying to me to stall for time?"

"Then you'll just kill that woman right away."

Looking at the hang-up phone, Bruce froze for a moment. He opened his mouth and cursed, "F*ck!"

Who the f*ck is this guy?

He was even more ruthless than a kidnapper!

But considering the money that guy had promised, he didn't bother with him.

That man was not lying to me, was he?'

Bruce felt a bit unsure about that guy.

'But since he cared so much about this woman on the phone, he shouldn't be lying to me.’

Besides, the woman was then in his control, so that guy had no choice but to agree to his demand.

Then he looked at Anna and burst out laughing. "I didn't expect you would be worth so much. If I had known this earlier, I would have just called that dummy at the first beginning. But now it works better for me. I will have $30 million, haha..."

Anna turned her head aside, not looking at him. Her nerves seemed to calm down and she waited quietly for Liam to come to her rescue.
