"You're teasing me, Mr. Barnes. Let's get back to business."Albert nodded, and both of them dove into the topic.…Meanwhile, because of the necklace incident with Kayla, Lydia was busy drafting some new designs. After pulling an all-nighter, she finally came up with a design that she was satisfied with.She looked out the window and stretched. Just as she was about to go to her bedroom to get some rest, the doorbell rang.She found it strange.People rarely showed up on her doorstep. Who could be there so early in the morning?As she walked out of the study, she called out, "Who is it?"There was no answer.She opened the doorbell camera, but she didn't see anyone standing at the door. Just as she turned around to leave, someone rang the doorbell again.This time, a man's voice sounded out of the blue. "We're here to check the water meter. Please open the door."Lydia didn't think too much of it and opened the door. However, in the next second, a few buff men barged in, gi

Grace was already certain that it was Lydia on the other end. She knew her friend well. In such circumstances, Lydia would absolutely refuse to bring her any trouble. Hence, she hadn't said a word."If you want money, I can give you any amount you want, so long as you don't hurt her. But if anything happens to her, don't even think about getting a single penny."This seemed to persuade the man. He put his hand down and stood up to look down at Lydia.He snorted coldly. "Alright, then deliver the money to the time and place we previously agreed on. If you're late, I won't spare her.""Okay."Grace met Xander's eyes. The latter gave her the thumbs-up sign, and Grace nodded in return. She continued, "Lydia, I know you're there. Don't be afraid. We'll rescue you very soon. Trust me!"When Lydia heard this, she couldn't hold back her emotions anymore. Tears poured down her face. "Gracie, I-I'm so sorry for dragging you into this.""Don't be silly. What's there to be sorry for? I ju

Just then, Troy's phone rang in his pocket, catching him off guard. Feeling annoyed, he didn't bother with the call. "Fuck!" he shouted, tossing the phone aside. But the phone didn't stop ringing, making him extremely annoyed. He grumbled out loud. He then stood up reluctantly and picked up the phone, leaving Lydia aside. He answered the call after looking at the number."Who's this?" On the other end of the call, Caleb was anxious and infuriated. After his call was answered, he said in a cold voice, "The money is ready. I've sent it to the location you requested. Where is she?" Troy looked at the time and complained, "So fast?"Caleb lost his patience. The veins on his forehead bulged. He said sternly, "Stop your nonsense. Where is she?" Troy glanced at Lydia on the ground and said coldly, "Why such a hurry? I'll let her go when I get the money." Caleb paced back and forth on the spot. He looked around, but there was nothing there. He gritted his teeth and said, "Y

Meanwhile, over at the hospital, Lydia had already woken up. She had taken a strong blow to the head, resulting in a moderate concussion. Her wounds had been treated and stitched up. Grace pushed the door open and entered the ward. She asked with concern, "Lydia, how are you feeling? Are you okay?" Lydia pursed her lips. She apologized, "Gracie, I'm sorry for causing trouble for you." Grace had always disliked how formal Lydia was and the distance she created between them.She walked up and took Lydia's hand. "Can you stop being so formal with me?" Lydia's expression changed. She lowered her eyes slightly.She knew Grace had always treated her sincerely, like they were sisters. She felt the same way, but her background and upbringing had always been her weak points. The difference between her and Grace was substantial. "Gracie, how is he?" The "he" Lydia had mentioned naturally referred to Caleb. For so many years, there was no one else she had cared about so deeply,

"What?"Xander turned and looked at Grace. With a serious expression, he analyzed the situation for her. "Do you know why Lydia never told Caleb how she feels, even though she's liked him for so many years?"Stumped and surprised, Grace shook her head. She had always wondered about it. As far as she knew, Lydia was someone with clear goals and direction. Once Lydia set her mind on something, she would go all out to achieve it. She had pursued jewelry design earnestly because she had liked it so much and had eventually become a renowned jewelry designer. She had even founded her own brand. Lydia was undoubtedly outstanding and strong-willed. Once her mind was fixed on a goal, she persisted until she got to the very end of it.Her feelings for Caleb were no exception. She had persisted for many years without wavering. However, Grace found it difficult to understand the matters of the heart unless they concerned her."Then, what could be the reason? Xander, do you know?" X
