Chapter 330
The Caldwells had a good reputation and were on good terms with everyone. So why would anyone want to kidnap Millie?
âThe rules of this game are all wrong! I object!â Millie shouted.
âShut up!â Michael scoffed. âYou have no say in this.â
Millie fell silent and looked at the bricks beneath her. Her thoughts raced as she wondered who could be so despicable as to target her.
Was it Winston? But this didnât seem like something he would do. Although he was repulsive, he wasnât the type to stoop to such a lowly act, especially not against her.
It must be Joanna then. However, Winston had rejected her marriage proposal. So, she shouldnât have had the time to think about targeting Millie.
Millie couldnât make sense of it. She looked over at Michael munching on chips, who happened to glance her way.
âWant some chips?â he asked her.
âLet me go. Iâll give you ten times the amount your employer is paying you,â Millie offered.
Michael replied nonchalantly, âIn the underworld, weâre not motivated by money. Donât try to buy me off. I have my principles.â
Millie pouted. âHow can you talk about principles when youâre doing shady work like this? Let me go and work for me instead!â
Michael sized her up and couldnât help but laugh. âWork for you? Are you planning to starve me to death?
Millie was baffled by Michaelâs reasoning. âSir, Iâm Millie Caldwell. Would I let you suffer? Youâre just insulting me!â
Michael grinned. âItâs good that you realize Iâm insulting you. But take a look at your cur. nt situation. How do you expect me to work for you? Youâre the kind of person who gets kidnapped so easily. Iâd just be wasting my time trying to find you!â
Having said his piece, Michael grew annoyed and ordered his subordinate to tape Millieâs mouth shut.
âIs he shutting me up because he canât argue with me? Yes, that must be it Surely he wouldnât think Iâm noisy?â Millie thought.
Yet, in the next second, Michael spat, âWhat a noisy woman!â
Millie was infuriated. The whole situation made no sense!
They had abducted her without asking for a ransom. So, what could they possibly want? Were they actually planning to leave her suspended until the next morning?
Millie wondered if she would suffocats inhed quietly.
As Michael munched on chips and hummed a tune, Millie gazed at the distant scenery. For some reason, she felt at peace.

âWhatâs the deal with you rich folks? It seems like all you do is offend others,â Michael remarked.
Millie lowered her gaze before casting a quick look at him.
Michael continued, âOrdinary people like us donât have to deal with problems like getting kidnapped.â
However, they did have the problem of needing more money. With that, he rose and stretched.
Michael then approached Millie. He looked into the distance and said, âI wonder if by tomorrow morning youâll be home safe or end up in a worse state.â
âLook, Iâm being honest here,â he uttered while patting Millieâs slender shoulder. âYouâre really skinny.â
Millie remained silent.
âAlright, now, Iâm being honest.â Michael circled back to his point. âIâm having a hard time with this.â
Millie rolled her eyes. He would have been better off staying silent.
âHey, do you have any unfulfilled dreams? I could help you achieve them,â Michael suddenly suggested enthusiastically as he sat beside Millie.
Millie shook her head. She didnât have unfulfilled dreams.
âI saw on the news a few days ago that you and your wealthy husband got divorced. Is that right?â
Millie was taken aback by how much Michael enjoyed gossip. She stayed quiet and stared at him.
Suddenly, Michael burst out laughing. âHow about we tell him youâve been kidnapped and see how he reacts?â
