Chapter 866:
Kiaanâs jaw tightened, unease clouding his expression.
Hearing this news only deepened his anxiety.
âTell everyone to tread carefully. If Harlee locates usâ¦â Kiaan couldnât imagine the extent of Harleeâs vengeance.
His grasp on the phone grew tighter.
He had planned to reveal this whole plan to Harlee, hoping she could spare him, but she abruptly ended the call before hearing him out.
The man in dark attire gave a slight nod.
âGot it. This involves everyoneâs safety, so caution is paramount.â
At the same time, Harlee dashed toward the VIP section of the hospital, but it was already late.
She knocked on the door repeatedly, but no answer came. Panic surged through her, and she quickly shoved the door open.
The room was vacant, except for the meal sitting untouched on the table.
Harleeâs hands curled into fists, her gaze hard with fury. Whoever was behind this was asking for a fight, and she was ready to deliver.
She swiftly transformed her phone into an improvised computer, her fingers moving rapidly across the keyboard. Within moments, she pinpointed the earlier callerâs location.
After confirming the address, she put her device away and prepared to leave.
But a text message interrupted her.
The sender was unknown, and the content was chilling: âIf you want Jose and Belinda to stay alive, bring 20 million in cash and a large vessel. Iâll tell you the time and place for the handover later.
LðtÑÑÏ chÊÉÏÏÑrs ιn gð¶lðovÑlð .â²Ð¾m
Do not involve law enforcement, or youâll regret it!â
Attached was a photo of Jose and Belinda, bound and helpless.
Harleeâs expression hardened as she read the words. She was furious.
Since returning to the Sanderson family, sheâd endured constant disregard. Now, her loved ones were being dragged into it. It was time to retaliate.
She began tracing the origin of the message.
As she suspected, both numbers pointed to the same spot. Though tension filled her, she maintained a calm exterior. She was well aware the culprits were remnants of Haleâs crew, clearly seeking funds and a ship to escape to Uwhor.
Armed with this knowledge, she knew how to turn the situation in her favor.
Harlee called Tonya.
âTonya, Haleâs people have made their move. Iâll send you their location. Itâs an old factory.
Bring Ritchie. This time, I want them to disappear completely!â
Tonya, well-acquainted with Harleeâs temperament, didnât hesitate.
âUnderstood. Weâll handle Jose and Belinda. The rest is yours.â
Tonya could tell Harleeâs rage was unrelenting this time.
âGood. See you there.â With that, Harlee ended the call and exited the hospital.
After receiving the coordinates, Tonyaâs determination sparked, and she immediately pulled Ritchie into the car. Still puzzled, Ritchie asked, âTonya, whatâs happening?â With a grave tone, Tonya answered, âRhysâ parents have been kidnapped.â
