“How forgetful of you, Mr. Fairchild!”

A series of strange mechanical laughter then drifted out from the phone. “Your residential area is so elite that even calling for an elevator requires a fingerprint. Can’t you figure out how my man took the elevator up?”

Xavier’s expression promptly darkened.

Winnie’s thoughts quickly aligned with his—the finger belonged to Yulissa.

Yulissa’s fingerprint was registered with the management, so she had no issues taking the building’s elevator.

Therefore, it was evident that the person earlier used her severed finger to call for the elevator and successfully reached the thirty-second floor. Subsequently, he placed the cardboard box containing the severed finger at Xavier’s doorstep.

As though to verify Xavier’s conjecture, the other party instantly sent a video over.

In the video, a woman was bound to a chair. Her right hand was missing a finger, and blood was dripping incessantly.

Although she was disheveled, one could still tell that the woman was Yulissa.

As a bucket of icy water hit her full in the face, Yulissa immediately jolted awake.

Upon seeing that someone was filming her from the front, she wailed at the camera at once.

“Save me, Xavier! Hurry up and save me! It wasn’t my intention to fight with you yesterday, nor did I intend to go to the bar to drink. I’m sorry! Please save me. They’ve chopped off my finger, and they’ll kill me if you don’t comply with their demands. I’m not afraid of death, Xavier. But I’m afraid that they’ll violate me. I’m your woman, so I don’t want to be sullied by them. They’re the scum of the earth and have no humanity to speak of. Save me, Xavier!”

Tears streamed down her face. Fear, terror, and anguish were all etched across her features.

At that precise moment, however, the video cut off.

The kidnapper’s voice rang out once more.
