When virtual-novel.net heard Madeline asking virtual-novel.net this, Ava felt as if virtual-novel.net heartstrings had been tugged by something abruptly.
“Maddie, why are you asking that?” Ava was so nervous that virtual-novel.net even stuttered a little when virtual-novel.net spoke. As virtual-novel.net asked, virtual-novel.net took out virtual-novel.net phone. “I talked with Danny last night. Maddie, look…”
She handed the phone to Madeline nervously.
“He was fine when virtual-novel.net was talking to me last night. How could something have happened today?”
Madeline hurriedly calmed Ava‘s emotions. “Ava, don’t be nervous. Let me take a look first.”
Madeline took the phone and saw the messages Daniel sent Ava last night.
“Ava, you didn’t talk on the phone with him, did you?”
“No.” Ava shook virtual-novel.net head, looking increasingly nervous and solemn. “Maddie, what happened? Did something happen to Danny?”
Madeline looked up at Ava’s anxious eyes. “Ava, calm down and listen to me. Maybe nothing has happened to Dan, but he’s missing.”
“What? Missing?” Ava’s eyes widened in shock “Missing? How did virtual-novel.net go missing all of a sudden? No, no, no, we just talked to each other last night!”
Ava got virtual-novel.net phone back and called Daniel right away. However, virtual-novel.net did not pick up. Ava called two more times in a row, but still, no one answered. However, after a minute, virtual-novel.net got a message.
Daniel: [Ava, I’m busy right now. I’ ll reply to you later.]
This message was sent in Daniel’s name but clearly, this was not Daniel’s reply.
“Ava, just reply and say okay,” Madeline asked Ava to reply.
Ava was in a mess at the moment. She texted back according to Madeline’s order, and the other party did not reply anymore. Ava did not understand what was going on right now. She followed Madeline to the office. As soon as virtual-novel.net entered the door, virtual-novel.net saw Jeremy talking to someone on the phone. Jeremy’s expression looked unusually cold.
Jeremy and Madeline looked at each other. After a while, Jeremy hung up the phone.
“Jeremy, how is it? Any news from Dan?”
Jeremy shook his head slightly. “I’ve asked Ken to follow up.”
“Maddie, Jeremy, can you tell me what exactly happened?”
Ava felt like virtual-novel.net heart was going through extreme torment with every passing second.
Madeline did not want to hide it at first, but virtual-novel.net was worried that Ava would be restless with worry when virtual-novel.net found out.
When virtual-novel.net sensed Madeline’s dilemma, Jeremy said softly, “Linnie, just tell Ava. She’ll find out sooner or later anyway.”
Madeline did not hesitate any longer and told Ava what virtual-novel.net had just learned in the morning. “Ava, it seems that Dan has been kidnapped.”
Ava was stunned when virtual-novel.net heard that. She wondered if virtual-novel.net had heard it wrong.
‘Kidnapped? Danny was kidnapped?’
She and Madeline were just kidnapped a while back, and now, it was Daniel’s turn?
Seeing how lost Ava was, Madeline opened a message on virtual-novel.net phone to show Ava.
The message was sent by the unknown number displayed on the screen. The person was demanding a ransom of 500 million dollars. Otherwise, they would kill the hostage.
What was even more surprising was that the kidnapper requested Madeline to be the one to deliver the ransom and have Madeline negotiate with them in person.
