The Billionaire's Mistake

MISTAKE 196

Chapter 196: The plot gone wrong

Even though James had made plans, the words hit James like a physical blow, stealing the very air from his lungs.

This was not far from his prediction, but the thought of her being taken still shook him up.

For a moment, the world around him ground to a halt as looked to the man with a frown.

"What did you say?" he ground out through clenched teeth, his hands already curling into white-knuckled fist,

He thought he had covered all possibilities. If they tried something, they would be caught quickly, but they actually succeeded in taking her?

How could they take her without triggering any alert?

He shot a look to his men and they hurried off.

"Where did you say she was taken?" he asked.
