Chapter 183 Lydia was kidnapped
One day, Lester said he was going abroad for a business meeting for a week and might not be reachable on the phone as the meeting place was quite remote.
Rose suspected that he had found himself a young woman and was going out to have fun with his mistress.
Rose hated it, but she needed some time to take care of her own health and possibly have an abortion if she was pregnant. As such, she could only swallow her anger and wish him luck.
Lester could guess what she was thinking but did not comment on it.
After Lester left, Rose waited for two hours and when it was confirmed that he had boarded a 19-hour flight, she finally left home.
She had spent a lot of money to ensure that Lester was indeed out of town and out of reach.
When Rose waited outside the doctor’s office waiting for her test results, she received a call from Lydia.
“Lydia, I am busy. I will call you later!” Rose directly said before Lydia could speak.
“Oh then, how about we have some fun with her while you are busy,” The malicious voice that came instead of Lydia made Rose jolt in fear.
“Who are you? Where is my daughter?” Rose exclaimed.
“Why don’t I show you?” The person said and disconnected the call.
Almost immediately Rose received an MMS which showed Lydia being tied to a pole and her clothes were torn and a hand removing all her garments.
Rose called back immediately, “Don’t touch her! What do you want?”
The man laughed, “I want 500 Million dollars in non-traceable cash in two hours. You better have everything ready when I call you back. Or your daughter will be raped live.”
“Don’t touch her! Hello! Hello!” Rose cried but the phone had already been disconnected.Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
Rose ignored the calls from the doctor calling her inside and frantically ran away.
In her anxiety, she did not look back or she would have seen Lester’s lawyer enter the consultation room.
Rose rushed to her car but could not think of what to do. She could not call the police or her daughter’s dignity would be compromised.
She called Lester frantically but his phone was switched off. She tried Lester’s assistant but his phone had been switched off as well.
She then called his office but a secretary said that Lester should be on a plane and would land in another 12 hours or so.
Hearing the secretary’s words she remembered that Lester was indeed away. She had come for the doctor’s appointment only after confirming that he had boarded the plane.
She mumbled something to the shocked secretary saying that she had forgotten that he would be away for a week and blamed her old age.
Then she went home and asked the butler to arrange for 500 million dollars ASAP.
The butler looked at her perplexed but did not move.
“Why are you still standing? Did you not hear me? Move?” Rose cried.
“But Madam, how can I arrange so much money? We don’t have access to Sir’s funds. Before leaving, as usual, Sir said that if we need anything we should ask you or Miss Lydia as he had transferred money to you for an emergency.” The butler bowed politely.
“Useless!” Rose snapped and threw a cup on him before dismissing him.
Rose then called Romeo and told him what happened.
But unfortunately, Romeo was broke and threatened to ruin her if she did not save his daughter in time.
Romeo did not believe that as mistress of the Aprice Group, Rose did not have 500 Million dollars.
Rose broke some more furniture and yelled her frustrations.
When her daughter was in trouble, no one helped. Neither Lydia’s biological father nor her stepfather.
