In the Lap of Luxury

Chapter 513 Tit for Tat

Grace smiled sarcastically and took the phone back from Troy. "Stop daydreaming. It's too easy for you to go to prison."

Troy trembled in fear. "Ms. Lewis, what do you want?"

"You like kidnapping so much. Why not just stay here for some time? It's so remote. No one will find you."

Troy had observed the surroundings when he had gotten there. He could be sure that no one would come there.

His eyes widened. "Ms. Lewis, please forgive us! If you leave us here, we'll die!"

This place was so remote that they could die from starvation!

"You finally know fear? Weren't you brave when you kidnapped Lydia?"

She looked at Xander. "Xander, what do you think?"

He smiled dotingly. "Your idea is good."

She giggled. "Tie them tightly to the pole."

Her men did as she ordered.

"What happens next depends on your fate. I heard that a person can last up to seven days without eating or drinking. You can test it for me."

After she said that, her smile slowly faded as the men watched on fearfully.

"You ..."

"Xander, let's go."

He nodded and left the warehouse with her. He reached out to protect her head when she got into the car. Then, the car drove off.

Troy's and his subordinates' wailings sounded throughout the remote warehouse. "Is anyone there? Help!"

...

In the car, Grace wiped her fingers with a wet tissue.

"Xander, thank you for your help. If it hadn't been for you, I wouldn't have been able to find those people so quickly."

He reached out to tidy her hair. "You don't have to thank me. Don't treat me as an outsider."

"But I have to thank you. After all, this is my friend's matter. You were kind enough to be willing to help. I can't be selfish and accept your help without being grateful." Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

She was being thoughtful, but her words made Xander frown slightly. "Your business is also mine. Don't thank me again in the future. I don't like it."

She smiled and nodded. Soon, she thought of something again. But seeing his cold expression, she swallowed her words back.

"What do you want to say?" he asked.

"It's nothing. I suddenly forgot what I wanted to say."

He stroked her head helplessly. "Silly girl."

…

Lydia stayed in the hospital for a few days and returned home after the doctor confirmed that she was fine.

Grace wanted to pick Lydia up from the hospital. But she was too busy with work and couldn't make time.

She went to the flower shop to buy a bouquet. They were so beautiful that she couldn't help but take a photo and send it to Xander. She messaged him, "Does it look good?"

He replied instantly, "Not as good-looking as you."

She smiled. Then, a thought suddenly popped into her mind. Why did she want to show him everything she saw?

Before she could react, the door had opened. Caleb's handsome face came into her sight.

"Gracie?"

"Caleb?"

She was momentarily stunned. When she recovered, she patted his shoulder. "You're acting so fast. Now you've come straight to Lydia's house!"

Caleb quickly covered her mouth. "Be careful what you say! We haven't gotten that far yet!"

Grace felt surprised and nodded, indicating that she wouldn't talk nonsense. He finally let go of her.

"Go in and stay with her. I have to go out of town for a shoot tomorrow. I'll leave now."

He seemed to be in a bad state. She wanted to ask him about it, but he had already put on his mask and walked away.
