Chapter 492 Maya and Madeline
Chloe knew that the man had a strong sense of pride, which was why he kept refusing her offers.
"I swear I won't tell anyone. It'll just be between the three of us. I know you need money. Name your price, and I'll give it to you!"
She then looked at the other man. "I'm pregnant. I have an unborn child. I really don't want to die!"
Upon hearing that she was pregnant, the man's expression softened.
People with children tend to be particularly sensitive to these situations, and it's not like they had a personal vendetta against Chloe.
"Edwin, why don't we just let her go?"
The man called Edwin glared at his friend. "Are you crazy? We were paid to do this. Just because she says she's pregnant doesn't mean she is! How can you be so gullible?"
"I really am pregnant. If you don't believe me, there's a prenatal checkup report in my bag. You can check it!"
Edwin waved his hand in irritation, finding her too noisy, and stuffed the rag back into her mouth.
Chloe, now gagged again, felt a deep sense of despair.
She had tried everything she could think of, but these two were unmoved.
Was she really going to die here?
Just then, footsteps sounded outside.
She looked up and saw that the newcomers were none other than Maya and Madeline.
Chloe couldn't believe her eyes. She hadn't expected them to be the ones behind this.
"Alright, this has nothing to do with you two anymore. Leave now," Madeline said, dismissing the two men.
The abandoned house fell into a quiet stillness. In the next moment, Maya slapped Chloe across the face. holds this content.
"For scheming against me at Paramount Airlines! Chloe, now that you're in our hands, I'll make sure you wish you were dead!"
Maya and Madeline had orchestrated the kidnapping because the court had issued them subpoenas.
Chloe refused to withdraw the
lawsuit, and Maya didn't have
enough money to pay Paramoul net
Airlines back, so they resorted to this desperate measure.
With the rag still in her mouth, Chloe couldn't utter a word and could only grunt when slapped.
"If you had agreed to drop the lawsuit last time, none of this would be happening!"
Madeline said as she walked over to Maya and patted her shoulder. "Stop wasting time. Make her call Michael."
Maya took out her phone and instructed Chloe to dial Michael's number.
Chloe stared at her, wanting to ask how she was supposed to dial with her hands tied.
Madeline noticed and pulled out a small knife from her bag to cut Chloe's bonds.
"I advise you not to play tricks. Only we know about this place, and no one is coming to save you."
As soon as the ropes were cut, Chloe's wrists burned with pain.
She frowned, rubbed her wrists for a moment, and then began to dial the number.

Despite not having called him for a long time, the number surfaced in her mind instantly.
After dialing, Maya took the phone, used a voice changer, and pressed the call button.
Michael was already on his way, having received surveillance footage from Ethan that confirmed Chloe's location.
When the phone rang, he instinctively knew it was the kidnappers and answered immediately.
"Hello, who is this?"
"Chloe is with us. If you want her
safe, bring 50 million dollars in cash to the seafood market. We'll be waiting in half an hour, we exchange the money for her. If you're a second late, you can forget about seeing her again."
The voice on the other end sent a chill down Michael's spine.
This was the first time anyone had dared to extort him.
