Chapter 1112

Author: Summer Knowles
A female officer glanced back at her supervisor, alarmed. Charlotte’s sudden move had blown their plan.

James noticed right away. His face went cold, a frost in his eyes that hadn’t been there before.

Luckily the supervisor reacted fast and ordered everyone to adapt. He scribbled a note and slid it over: if Charlotte tried anything to spook the kidnappers, knock her out and then start questioning her.

James gave him a nod. He wanted this handled personally. It was clear his patience was gone.

While Charlotte still had the phone to her ear, the officer pressed the speaker button. A brief hiss of static came through, then a flat, emotionless voice. “If you want the child returned unharmed, prepare 100 million in cash, split into twenty packages, and leave them at the locations I will send you. Start at midnight. Each drop will take about fifteen minutes. Finish before dawn. If you fail, you will see the worst outcome.”

The call cut off. The tech who was tracking the phone shook his

    He shrugged. “This isn’t exactly a secret now. All of East Coast knows. I had other plans for this money, but when I saw the news I brought it over immediately. You’re the one who needs cash. So are you signing or not?”James’s face went stone cold. He hated being strong-armed, but there was no choice.Henry pressed on. “I’m sure not many people in this city can scrape together a hundred million in cash on short notice. If you won’t take my offer, try asking Zachary. Maybe he can help.”Time was running out and the sound of his son’s little coos echoed in his mind. He nodded. “Okay. I’ll sign.”Henry opened the folder and handed the papers across. James scanned both agreements. They were straightforward. He signed his name.Five minutes later, Henry closed the folder and smiled. He popped the trunk. Neat stacks of banknotes filled the compartment, one hundred million in cash.“Drive my car back when you’re done,” Henry said, dropping the keys into James’s hand. Then he turned and

    James felt deeply humiliated, but he had no choice left.When the call ended, Charlotte looked at him with desperate hope. “Well? Did Zachary agree?”“He did,” James said tiredly, rubbing his forehead. “But he doesn’t have that much cash on hand. Only ten million.”It was nine o’clock—three hours until midnight. They were still ninety million short.Mrs. Chancer searched the house and scraped together a few hundred thousand. had no cash either. After tearing through drawers and safes, the entire Chancer family could only gather one million. Mrs. Chancer pawned her gold jewelry and called a few of her wealthy friends, borrowing another two million with promises it would be delivered within the hour.Then James’s phone rang again. An unknown number. The police nearby stiffened, watching him carefully.James picked up. “Hello?”“Good evening. I’m with the Wilson family. I’d like to discuss a business deal with you,” said a hoarse male voice.“I’m not taking business calls rig

    “Charlotte, have you lost your mind?” Mrs. Chancer’s voice rose, sharp as a whip. “Callum is our family! You can’t just take him away. And let me remind you, you're a divorced woman with a child. It’s hard enough to remarry as it is. If you do, and that man ever mistreats Callum, I won’t forgive you!”The thought of her grandson being raised by another man was something she couldn’t stomach.Before Charlotte could respond, the doorbell rang loud and urgent.The sound cut straight through the tension. Charlotte hurried over and opened the door, only to see several police officers standing outside in uniform. Her face went pale. She slammed the door shut, turning around with fury blazing in her eyes.“Who called the police?” she demanded.James and his mother exchanged uncertain looks. Lucy stepped forward. “I did. A child is missing, and none of you wanted to report it. What did you expect me to do? Just sit here?”“I already had officers investigating quietly,” James said through

    James barely glanced at the rest of the transactions, but the million-dollar transfer from that evening stopped him cold.“Who did you send this to? And why?”Charlotte’s face drained of color. Her fingers clenched into fists as she tried to steady herself.“I just… I saw a poor family online. I wanted to help them.”But James could see the panic flickering behind her eyes. He rose from his chair, his voice turning hard.“Charlotte, what’s really going on?”Suddenly she pointed at Lucy, shouting, “It’s her! She set me up!”Lucy only laughed, cold and sharp. Without a word, she pulled out her phone and pressed play.A woman’s trembling voice echoed through the living room: “My son is gone, and you still care about money? … I told you not to abandon him there… You’ll get your money tonight…”Charlotte went white as paper. She hadn’t expected Lucy to overhear that call—let alone record it.“You’re lying!” she screamed. “You faked that recording!”Lucy ignored her completely, he

    Mrs. Chancer looked between the two of them, her expression dark. “James, where’s Lucy? Her own nephew’s missing, and she hasn’t even come home to help look!”James shook his head. Charlotte’s face tightened, resentment flickering in her eyes.At that very moment, Lucy was at the Chancer Group’s finance department. She slid a printed sheet across the desk to the finance manager and said coolly, “Check this account. I want to know if there’s been any recent transfers today.”The manager glanced at the name on the screen and froze. “Miss Chancer… this account belongs to Mrs. Chancer.”Lucy’s tone didn’t waver. “And I’m a shareholder of the Chancer Group. That gives me full authority to review it, doesn’t it? For all we know, there might be company funds being misused.”The manager hesitated, clearly nervous. “But… Miss Chancer, I—”“No buts,” Lucy snapped, her tone sharp as glass. “You should remember whose money you’re handling. I haven’t forgotten those little ‘adjustments’ you m
