My Ex-husband Begs Me Back

Chapter 1407 Begging

Chapter 1407 Begging

“Together, we went to the Armstrong family. Grace seemed completely unaware of what was going on, as Horace had asked me before he left in the morning to take you to the Armstrong family to see. Everyone at the Armstrong family now, except us, is out to devour everything at the Armstrong family. If it were just Grace alone, she would probably end up being devoured by them in the end."

Grace is simple and has no cunning or scheming. She is no match for these wolves and tigers. Not being a match would mean becoming a prey in front of others.

Since Brody was able to pull off such a thing with Page's cousin, he had obviously anticipated all the consequences. Especially since Regina's plane was leaving Hance City in the afternoon, does that mean it was also Brody's decision to let go? Camille and Ayan drove to the Armstrong family. Before they arrived, Regina received a call from an unknown number.

In the call, a harsh voice of a man said to her, "Your child is in my hands. If you want your child to be safe, give me five million dollars immediately, or | can't guarantee what | might do."

Upon hearing this, Regina immediately lost control of her emotions and exclaimed, "Who are you? What are you going to do?" Regina didn't believe it, but she also couldn't afford not to believe it.

Clutching Grace beside her, she covered the phone receiver and said to Grace, "Quickly call Vere."

Grace was stunned but immediately did as she was told.

But when the call went through, there was no answer, and Grace shook her head helplessly.

Regina froze, her face completely pale and bloodless. She heard the ringtone from Vere's phone, a melody she had deliberately modified because it was her piano piece.

Trembling, she asked, "Who are you? What do you want? Please don't harm my child, | beg you." Regina's pleading voice made Grace's expression very indifferent, showing no signs of concern in her eyes.

She watched Regina cry and beg the other party not to harm Vere, secretly envious that Vere was someone she cared about. Were all the others just pawns to her?

Grace narrowed her eyes, and the coldness in them was obvious. It's not that she had no heart; she just placed her heart in those she cared about. The others were just tools for her to use.

Regina pleaded with the other party for a long time, but their attitude remained firm: five million or nothing. The call was cut off abruptly, leaving Regina anxiously standing there.

She looked at Grace, her eyes red from crying, and asked, "Grace, can you help Auntie with something?" Grace looked at Regina indifferently and asked, "Auntie, what's going on?"

"Well, Vere has been kidnapped, and the kidnappers are demanding five million. | can't come up with that much money all at once. You know, Auntie's income comes solely from a nail salon. Even though the business is good, | don't have that much money. If it weren't for your mother's support all these years, | and Vere wouldn't have been able to survive in Hance City!"

Regina cried, tears covering her face, making her look pitiful.

But this version of Regina failed to evoke any pity or sympathy from Grace. She looked at her with narrowed eyes and spoke in a tone devoid of warmth or emotion, "Auntie, how could such a thing happen? Wasn't Vere at home? Don't you have a maid at home? Could it be that Vere is playing a prank with friends on you?!"

"It's impossible. Vere is so obedient that he would never play such a joke with me. Grace, | came to the Armstrong family with you to help you. If | hadn't come, Vere wouldn't have faced this situation at all. You have to take responsibility!"

“Auntie, don't worry. | will take responsibility. But we haven't figured out what's going on yet. If we transfer the money like this, and it turns out to be a scam, what will we do then?"

"Being scammed is still better than Vere being in danger! Grace, Vere is your cousin. You can't just stand by and do nothing!" “Auntie, | know, don't worry. I'll go to the police now and let them handle it!" With that, Grace picked up her phone to call the police, but at that moment, Regina's phone received a text message.

The message said, "If you dare call the police, | can't guarantee that your son will be safe."

Regina almost snatched Grace's phone in an instant, moving so fast that it almost created an afterimage.

This surprised Grace, but she looked at Regina and asked, "Auntie, what are you doing? Give me the phone. How can | help save Vere if you don't give it to me?"

"We can't call the police. They said not to call. If we do, Vere will be harmed. Grace, please find a way to raise the money forNôvelDrama.Org owns © this.

It was at this moment that Grace realized she never truly understood Regina. So Page must also be clueless about her. Grace took a deep breath without saying a word and calmly said, "If you don't give me the phone, how can | raise the money?"

Then she added, "| need to talk to my dad about this. | don't have that much money. You knew thatnry bhly asgetigtticholie’ my mother bought for me. But | don't have much cash. Selling the house might take too long. | have to ask my dad." Please read the original content at .

Grace narrowed her eyes and looked at Regina, knowing she was aware of the situation, so she didn't question her.

In the end, Regina had no choice but to hand the phone to Grace, giving her a hesitant look as if she wanted to say something. Grace ignored her and walked out of the room with the phone.

Brody was unaware that she and Regina had returned, so he was still in the study. What was he doing there?
