Tangled Temptations

Chapter 19

Max had already driven himself to the location specified by the kidnappers. He got out of the car, lugging 20 million in cash into the warehouse, demanding the

release of the hostages.

The big bad boss Monkey had a prominent scar on his face that made him look terrifying. He took out several stacks of cash, checked for authenticity, and his eyes sparkled with greed once he confirmed it was real money. "Mr. Velona, you're really loaded. If you'd come sooner, Ms. Horigan wouldn't have suffered." He signaled his men, and they immediately released Orlena.

After getting her freedom, Orlena immediately threw herself into Max's arms, crying, "Max, why did you only come now? I think I broke my leg... it hurts so much... they said they would assault me if you didn't come..."

Max held her, comforting her. But his eyes were fixed on Eloise not far away.

Eloise struggled hard, but her mouth was gagged, unable to say a word. She knew Max. For power, sacrificing Eloise meant nothing to him!

Max kept silent. He watched as Eloise's hope faded from her eyes as she struggled...

Monkey laughed evilly on the side, gently prodding Eloise's chin with a knife. "Mr. Velona, this woman is so beautiful, she's worth at least 200,000 dollars, right? You're already so rich, why not just save her too, or she'll be in big trouble."
