Ashley's panicked cries echoed through the phone, drowned by the sharp crack of gunfire and the splintering of glass. "I didn't expect to find such a pretty woman here. Grab her! She'll fetch a good price. A man sneered.

"Don't touch me! Stay away! I have money... Just let me go, I'll do anything you want!" Ashley's voice trembled with desperation.

"Bitch, your money and your life are mine now, and you still think you can bargain with me?" he mocked.

"Mom, help me! Please help me!" Ashley's scream was cut off by the phone crash hitting the ground.

"Hello? Ashley? Ashley!" Sofia's face went pale. She turned to Martin. "What's going on! You said sending Ashley abroad would keep her safe, that nothing could go wrong"

Martin was just as shocked. "What the hell? I hid Ashley in the safest place possible. How did they find her and take her?" He had gone to great lengths to secure Ashley's safety. With the Harvey Group matters still unresolved, Martin had arranged for Ashley to hide in a remote mountain area abroad, with extra bodyguards to ensure her security. 'How could something like this happen?' he wondered.

"I have to find Ashley! I've already lost her once; I can't lose her again!" Sofia remarked.

"Sofia, calm down!" Martin said.

"Martin, I can't stay calm Sofia said.

Just then, Martin's phone rang. He answered quickly, "Hello? I'm busy right now, can you- What? Insight Group just took over all of the Harvey family's shares and is buying up the rest at ten times what we're paying? Are they insane?" Sofia's heart sank as she overheard Martin's conversation. "Martin, what's happening?

"I'm so focused that I'm blind to the danger. I didn't expect the Harvey family to make such a desperate move, selling all their shares to the Brady family," Martin muttered. Martin had meticulously planned to leverage Ashley's betrayal to take control of Harvey Group and become the majority shareholder. It was a plan he could comfortably afford. But the sudden involvement of the Brady family, with Trevon willing to take on a risky investment and outspend Martin to acquire the remaining shares of Harvey Group, had thrown his strategy into chaos. Insight Group, with its resources, was in a position to pull it off.
