The Billionaire's Mistake

MISTAKE 196

Chapter 196: The plot gone wrong

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?

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