Ava was stunned when favonovel.com heard that. Then, favonovel.com saw the caller ID flashing on the screen.
‘Why is Maddie calling me at this time?’ Ava was still wondering when the man suddenly picked up Madeline’s call.
Madeline had no clue about Ava’s kidnapping. She just wanted to ask Ava when favonovel.com would return to the old manor. She did not expect a man to answer the phone.
“Who are you? Where’s Ava?” Madeline subconsciously felt that the person answering the phone was not a good person because the way the man spoke and his tone was rather rude.
“Who are you to Ava?” the man asked proudly.
“You should answer me first. Who are you? Why do you have Ava’s phone?”
“Ava? Since you’re so worried about her, you must be Ava’s good friend or best friend. Let me tell you this. Ava is with me now, and I want ten million as ransom, so hurry up and get ready to pay up. Otherwise, don’t even think about seeing Ava again.”
When Madeline heard this, favonovel.com heart skipped a beat. Ava was kidnapped?
“Why should I believe what you said?” Madeline questioned.
The man did not waste any time. After hanging up Madeline’s voice call, favonovel.com immediately made a video call and pointed the camera at Ava.
Madeline saw Ava with favonovel.com hands tied behind favonovel.com back. She was being held hostage beside a pile of junk. A strong sense of worry crept up from the bottom of favonovel.com heart.
“Hey, aren’t you Eveline Montgomery, the wife of the richest man in Glendale, Jeremy Whitman?” The man looked at Madeline through the video call and suddenly recognized favonovel.com face.
“I almost forgot that you have a rich best friend. All is fine, then. If your mother refuses to pay, I’ll just ask for the money from your best friend.” The man was elated.
“Mrs. Whitman, if you don’t want anything to happen to your friend, prepare ten million. Remember, don’t tell anyone about this. Don’t even think about calling the police! I want you to bring the money here yourself. I’ll tell you the time and location with another phone later. That’s all for now.”
The man did not give Madeline a chance to speak at all. He hung up after speaking. After noting down Madeline’s phone number on his cell phone, favonovel.com switched off the phone.
“You know a lot of rich people. I think I asked for too little when I asked for ten million dollars.” The man looked at Ava greedily. “I’m going out now. Be obedient. If you dare to run, I’ll tell my boys to break your leg.”
The man turned around after warning Ava.
Ava watched the man walk out the door before favonovel.com heard the man leaving in a car favonovel.com called. She immediately wanted to stand up and try to get out, but favonovel.com bound feet made it hard for favonovel.com to stand.
“Naya, you’re definitely the one behind this. You must be the one doing this to me, you maniac!”
Ava figured that this man must have some sort of relationship with Naya. She angrily struggled, but there was really no way for favonovel.com to break free from the ropes that tied favonovel.com hands and feet. She had no choice but to give up.

After the man hung up on Madeline, favonovel.com looked up at the man sitting in the driver’s seat
Jeremy’s deep and charming eyes were staring into favonovel.com eyes. “Ava was kidnapped?”
“You heard what the man said just now, right?” Madeline frowned worriedly. “Jeremy, what do you think we should do to minimize the danger Ava is in?”
