The robbers brought Amber into a house. They locked the door of the house and began to plan how to get the ransom. A kidnapper called the Hammond family. Madam Hammond was very straightforward and said that she was asking someone to prepare the ransom and asked them to wait for a while.
The kidnappers didnât believe what she said and warned her not to try to rescue the hostages through the police. If they were unhappy, they would kill them. Old Grandma naturally promised not to call the police, but Breannaâs eyes lit up.
Hanging up the phone, several kidnappers sat together and discussed. One of them reminded them that the Hammond family was famous, and it was not enough to get 100 million in cash. The chief of the kidnappers also felt a little regretful and felt that the money was too little.
It was common for kidnappers to go back on their word. Amberâs heart sank when he heard their words. Until now, Amber was no longer as scared as he used to be. She carefully observed the terrain. She was brought into the room by the kidnappers with her eyes covered. She did not know where the kidnappers had taken her to.
Now the kidnappers in the room took off the black cloth on her eyes. She could clearly see that she was in an apartment. The kidnappers pushed her into the room, and the others gathered in the living room to talk.
There was a window in Amberâs closed room. There was an iron railing on the window, so there was no way to escape.
Generally, the window of the bathroom would not be equipped with an security window. So Amber asked the kidnapper to go to the bathroom, and the kidnapper did not refuse her request to go to the bathroom.
When Amber entered the bathroom, she found that there was no security window in the bathroom. Standing on the toilet, she looked out and found that she was on the third floor. If she jumped down, she would definitely hurt her body.
However, there was an air conditioner hanging next to the bathroom where she was. Below the air conditioner was the air conditioner on the second floor. If she climbed out of the window to the air conditioner and jumped from it to the air conditioner, it would be much better.
However, it was also very dangerous to do so. If she was not careful, she would get hurt. But now, she did not have to think about it. If the Hammond family did not agree to the terms of the kidnappers, the kidnappers would be likely to be torn apart. She had to fight for a while.
Amber returned to his room quietly and continued to wait. In a flash, another two hours passed. The kidnapper called the Hammond family again. The Hammond family said that the money was ready, and they made a deal with the kidnappers.
The kidnappers sent out two men to get the ransom, but they did not intend to take Amber with them. Amber knew that the kidnappers were trying to change their mind. It did not take long for the two kidnappers who went to get the money to go out. She immediately went to the bathroom. The kidnappers were happy in their hearts, but they still did not refuse Amberâs request.
Amber entered the bathroom, locked the door, and immediately began to move. She thought that it was easy to do, but not easy.
It took her a lot of effort to climb out of the window. Standing on the outside of the air conditioner, she looked down and felt dizzy.
Subconsciously, she squatted down.
Seeing that she hadnât come out to knock on the door for such a long time, Amber panicked and jumped down from the air conditioner with his eyes closed. When he landed on the air conditioner below, he couldnât bear the weight of Amber, who had been out of repair for a long time, and fell down as well.
Fortunately, she was at the bottom of the car. She jumped down upright, and her ankle was the one with the greatest force. As soon as her foot touched the ground, a heart-wrenching pain came from her ankle. Amber couldnât care so much and struggled to run out. The kidnapper on the upper floor began to kick the door hard.
Soon, the door was kicked open, and there was no one inside. âBoss, the hostage has run away!â The chief of the kidnappers panicked. âWhat are you waiting for! Hurry up and chase him!â
The group of people ran downstairs while cursing. Amberâs feet hurt so much. She knew that she couldnât escape the pursuit of the kidnappers at her speed. The most dangerous place was the safest place. She didnât run out and then turned back. She hid in the forest downstairs.
The robbers stayed here for the time being and were not familiar with the houses and the terrain. After going downstairs, they chased after the kidnappers. After chasing for a while, the kidnappers who went to get the ransom called.
âBoss, we were fooled. There is no ransom at all. They chose to call the police. Now there are policemen everywhere. Letâs run away quickly!â
When the leader of the kidnappers heard that the situation was not good, he fled in a panic with several of his men.
Breanna went to the hospital in a good mood to visit Lannie. Lannie had recovered a lot and was talking to her aunt. When she saw Breanna, she was very happy. âBreanna, you donât have to come to see me every day.â
âIâm fine anyway.â Breanna sat down by the bed and spoke to Lannie in a gentle voice. Elliot came back from smoking. When he saw his mother and Breannaâs happy faces, he looked gloomy.
Breanna left the ward and saw Elliot standing in the corridor, leaning against the wall, in a daze. She reached out and pushed him. âWhy didnât you go in?â
Elliot came to his senses. âBreanna, I have something to ask you!â
âIs it about me? Donât worry, Iâm in a stable mood now...â
âNo, itâs about you and me.â Elliot stared at her beautiful face. âBreanna, do you really want to marry me?â
Breanna looked at Elliot in shock. She did not understand why he would say that. Elliot added, âEven if I donât love you, do you want to marry me?â
Breanna nodded. âElliot, I want to marry you. Even if you donât love me, I want to marry you!â
âYouâve thought it through. I wonât give you love. I wonât love you for the rest of my life. If you marry me, weâll be a perfect couple.
Iâll spend a lot of time with you outside, and you can also sing with me every night. We donât care about each other. Even if thatâs the case, are you willing to marry me?â
âI do!â
âWell, Breanna, I am willing to get engaged to you. If you can stick to it for the next three years, I will marry you!â After that, he pushed the door open and entered the ward.
Breanna pinched her wrist in disbelief. It hurt a lot. It was not a dream! Joy filled her brain and she ran out of the hospital regardless of her image.
A few hours later, Pierce was taken hostage by Amber. He rushed to the Tang residence and asked, âGrandma, why didnât you inform me of such a big thing?â
âIâm afraid youâll be worried, so...â The old lady didnât dare to look at her grandson. âItâs all because of me. I just wanted to ask for money, so I wanted to save her. I didnât know that the kidnappers wouldnât keep their word.â
âThe kidnappers are nowhere to be found, and Amber is missing.â Pierce was very anxious. âYou should have told me at that time. What should we do now?â
While talking, the person who sent the money came back. âWe arrived at the place where we agreed to send the money. The police also went. The kidnapper probably didnât show up because he saw the police.â
âWhy would the police appear at the trading place? I didnât inform the police, did I?â Madam Dowager was surprised.
âI donât know,â the person who sent the money replied. âWhen I drove there, I saw police everywhere.â
âWho on earth notified the police?â The old lady looked at the people in the room and found that Breanna was not there. âWhere is the young lady?â
âMiss has gone to the hospital to visit Mrs. Wang!â A servant answered. The old ladyâs face darkened and she was about to lose her temper when the phone rang. The police called and said that they had found Amber and were on their way to the hospital.
The old lady and Pierce arrived at the hospital immediately. Amberâs ankle was sprained and there were some slight bruises on his body. His overall condition was fine.
Seeing that Amber was fine, the old lady heaved a sigh of relief, and so did Pierce.
Hearing Amber talk about the escape process, Pierce was sweating. He only sprained his ankle when jumping from such a high place. It was really a blessing in misfortune. Fortunately, the kidnappers did not catch her, and the consequences would be unimaginable.
The old lady was filled with gratitude for Amber. Her attitude had undergone a drastic change in the past. She held Amberâs hand and instructed him to take good care of her injuries. She didnât have to worry about anything else.
The old lady left the hospital and went home. Breanna had been waiting anxiously in the living room. When she saw the old lady, she greeted her. âGrandma, I have something good to tell you!â
However, the old lady was not as kind as usual. Instead, she ordered coldly, âIâll do it.â
Breanna followed the old lady into the study. After closing the door, the old lady raised her hand and slapped her. âBastard, did you call the police?â
âGrandma! I...â Breanna covered her face with her hands, and the joy in her heart turned into grievance. She wanted to deny that she didnât call the police, but she didnât dare to deny it in the face of the Old Madamâs fierce eyes, so she had to lower her head and said nothing.
However, the old lady stared at her coldly. âYouâd better be honest. If I find out...â
âGrandma, Iâm also thinking for her. If the kidnappers were to be kidnapped, the police would be able to rescue them.â
âHow dare you defend yourself? Are you afraid that the police will appear on the scene in public because you are afraid of the kidnappers tearing up the tickets? Are you trying to kill Amber?â
The Old Madam was shocked by Breannaâs heart. She had always watched her granddaughter grow up. She was gentle and obedient, and she could talk. She was very adorable. She had always been with Breanna, but she did not expect that everything she saw would be fake.
âI didnât expect you to be so vicious. You canât even distinguish right from wrong. You really let me down!â
âGrandma, Iâm so angry that Iâm confused. Amber delayed my elder brother like this, and you canât bear it. I...â Breanna still didnât give up. âAmber may have his own purpose in doing this. As long as you are soft-hearted, she can be with my elder brother!â
âHow dare you lie to me at this time? Do you think Iâm old and confused?â The old lady looked at Breanna with disappointment in her eyes.
âYou dare to boast that youâre your big brother? I think youâre doing this for that kid from the Thomson family, right? Do you think that Elliot can only marry you after Amberâs death? Let me tell you, if things are so simple, then all the rich people will go kill and set fire to achieve their goal. What kind of police do you want? What kind of justice do you want?â
âGrandma, I was wrong!â Breanna suddenly knelt on the ground. âI was wrong today. I was possessed and did that. Grandma, please forgive me!â
âFortunately, Amber was lucky enough to escape this disaster, otherwise...â The old lady was really scared.
However, since Breanna was his biological granddaughter, she did not pursue the matter further. Instead, she ordered Breanna to reflect on her actions. âGo back and think about it yourself. Breanna, itâs not good for your future life to be so selfish, vicious, and cruel.â
