Chapter 588 Phoebe, I'm Coming To Save You

Theodore picked up the call in a heartbeat, and a weird, robotic voice came through, like it was using some high-tech voice changer.

"Mr. Reynolds, I hear you've been on the hunt for Mrs. Reynolds. Sorry for the lack of a heads-up. We kinda borrowed Mrs. Reynolds and your side piece for a bit." Theodore froze, eyes narrowing with a cold glint. "What do you want?"

"Mr. Reynolds, you're sharp. No need for small talk. Five hundred million bucks each, and if you're short by even a penny, I'll start chopping fingers."

"Don't hurt them. I'll get the cash together right now," Theodore said, keeping his cool. He should've known something was off last night when he felt that gut feeling about Phoebe.

The kidnapper's smug voice continued, "Mr. Reynolds, you sure know how to look after your ladies. Now, hustle and get the money. No cops, or you'll be picking up bodies. I'll call you back." And with that, the kidnapper hung up, no hesitation.

"Hello? Hello?!" Theodore shouted into the dead line. He almost smashed the phone against the wall but stopped, remembering the kidnapper would call again.

Swallowing his rage, he dialed the company's finance department.

"This is Theodore. I need ten billion dollars, ASAP," he ordered.

The finance guy was stunned, "Mr. Reynolds, the bank has limits; we can't pull ten billion in a day. What's the emergency?"

"I said get it done, so do it! If you can't, find someone who can," Theodore snapped.

The finance guy had never seen Theodore this pissed and didn't dare argue. "Okay, I'll get on it right away."

Theodore hung up and kicked the coffee table, sending it crashing. Ollie, his cat, darted into its house, eyeing Theodore warily.
