Chapter 1180

"Remember, only you can take the money out! If there's anyone else with you, we won't hesitate to harm your friend!"

"Ms. Thorne, for your friend's safety, you'd better be smart. We're watching you!"

The line went dead as the kidnappers hung up.

Elysia was still in shock when her phone rang again. It was Zane.

"Elysia, did the kidnappers contact you?" he asked urgently.

"They just hung up. What's going on?" she replied, trying to steady her voice.

Zane explained, "They found out about our meeting this afternoon. They're worried you'll call the cops or tell Mr. Bradford, so they're warning you."

"They know Mr. Bradford is not someone to mess with and they're afraid of his involvement."

Elysia took a deep breath, trying to keep her composure. "They want me to meet up with you."

"Yeah, I'm on my way to the Newsom family to collect the family heirloom. Once I have it, I'll come pick you up."

"Where are we going?" she asked.

"I have no idea. They didn't say. They just mentioned they're watching our every move, and if we don't comply, they'll harm your friend."

Elysia was at a loss for words, while Tarquin, Elliot, and Elijah looked grim.

They suspected Zane was up to more than just a simple ransom.
