Chapter 181 Lauren is Kidnapped Tiffany froze the moment she saw the message, her grip on the phone tightening. Should she believe what this person was saying? But he knew about Leon's memory issues. Could he really be someone in the know? If so, why did he contact her? Tiffany had so many questions that she forgot to reply.
[Well? Miss Grey, do you believenow?] The person seemed impatient, sending another message when Tiffany didn't respond.
Tiffany took a deep breath, calming herself.
[Why are you tellingthis? What's your reason for helping me? I can't just believe that good things happen out of nowhere.] Tiffany remained cautious, not letting the person influence her.
She needed to understand their intentions. If a deal crossed her boundaries, she would stop contacting him. [Miss Grey, you don't need to be so wary. I should be considered an ally to you.] An ally? That word surprised Tiffany.
[What do you mean?] She quickly replied, staring at her phone. Sure enough, another message cthrough.
[Because I want to take down Global Nexus Corporation, and you are the person I've chosen. Miss Grey, Leon's memory issues are closely related to Global Nexus Corporation. I can't tell you the specifics now, but please believe me, I mean you no harm.] The message contained so much information that Tiffany couldn't process it all at once.
How was Global Nexus Corporation involved? If Leon's memory issues were connected to them, what was their motive? If it was just to ruin her relationship with Leon, it seemed excessive.
Tiffany couldn't figure it out and decided to message the person for more clarity.
[What exactly does Global Nexus Corporation want?] Unfortunately, as soon as she sent the message, it showed as undelivered.
Her number had been blocked.

Now that her number was blocked, she couldn't contact them. All she knew was that he was in Harmony City. But he was so sure about Leon's situation and insisted it was related to Global Nexus Corporation.
He must have sconnection to them.
He hid his IP address to avoid exposure, yet he took the risk to contact her. Was he unable to leave his location and needed help? These were just Tiffany's guesses. She'd have to wait for him to contact her again to get more details. For now, Tiffany could choose to believe him.
If Leon's memory issues were related to Global Nexus Corporation, they would likely have more plans.
Having Lauren get close to Leon and trying to make Leon dislike her seemed like an attempt to separate them. Why was Global Nexus Corporation so wary of her? Tiffany thought about it until she fell asleep on the couch, still without answers. She was woken up by a phone call at 3 AM, having slept for only a few hours.
The caller was Lauren.
Tiffany answered, confused, but it wasn't Lauren's voice on the other end.

"Well, she actually answered. We found your number on her phone. Bring two million dollars to Luminary Factory to get her back. Don't call the cops, or she's dead. You have six hours." With that, the call ended abruptly.
Tiffany tried calling back, but they hung up and then turned off the phone.
She was stunned.
How had Lauren been kidnapped? Tiffany knew she couldn't ignore this. The kidnappers had given her time, and if she didn't comply, Lauren would be in danger. She couldn't stand by.
Calling the police might alert the kidnappers, so she had to stay calm.
Tiffany bit her finger, pacing the living room, until she cup with a plan.
At 8 AM, Tiffany went to the bank to withdraw the money. The bank staff, seeing her request for two million dollars in cash, double-checked with her.
"Miss Grey, are you sure you want to withdraw two million dollars in cash? Is everything okay?" The staff were concerned and wanted to understand Tiffany's situation.
Tiffany shook her head but discreetly drew an "SOS" with her finger while signing.
"Please take care, Miss Grey." The staff understood and remained calm, handing over the money.
As soon as Tiffany left, they called the police.
Tiffany drove to Luminary Factory with the cash.
The place was desolate, the wind howling and messing up her hair.

The kidnappers' eyes widened at the sight of so much money.
But they still pressed a gun to her back, forcing her into a nearby building.
Inside, Lauren was tied up, her mouth stuffed with cloth.
Tiffany was pushed inside and tied up as well.
"You said you'd release her once you got the money!" Tiffany demanded angrily.
The kidnappers laughed.
"Do you think we're stupid? If we let you go now, we'd never get away. We finally got a big score. We caught one Woman got a and another one just walked in. Maybe we should have sfun."
"Are you crazy? We don't have tfor that. We need to get out of the country. Just leave them here." One of them eyed Tiffany and Lauren lecherously but was quickly warned off by another.
They counted the money, confirmed it was two million dollars, and left in a hurry.
Now it was just Tiffany and Lauren in the building.
Tiffany went over and bit the cloth out of Lauren's mouth.
Lauren's face was red, and she looked at Tiffany with gratitude.
"Miss Grey, I didn't expect you to cfor me." Tiffany smiled wryly.
"I didn't expect the kidnappers to callfirst." They exchanged a look, and then they heard police sirens outside.
