"Boss, we brought her in!" Mia Lane was released, knowing there was no escape. The stairs were guarded. Trying to keep her calm, her gaze fell on the man referred to as the boss. As the man lifted his gaze, their eyes met. Mia’s chest tightened; she recognized him at once! "Elias Colton? What are you doing here?" She was stunned. "What else?" The man casually touched the flashing nose ring, "Where does Mrs. Kingston think I should be?" "..." Mia’s mind went blank, and all the color drained from her face. The latest_epɪ_sodes are on_the noveⅼfire.net Remembering the night he was taken by the police, bringing so many people to block Anton Miller, he was just like a big shot, Mia couldn’t help but feel scared. Yet he looked triumphant, the corners of his lips curling wickedly, "Mia Lane, we actually know each other. Do you remember?" Meeting his gaze, Mia looked into the depths of his pupils, searching for a memory. The voice, the way he called her Mia Lane... Mia suddenly remembered, "It’s you?" She was utterly shocked. Elias Colton just smiled, "Yes, it’s been years. Surprised, aren’t you?" "What do you want?" Mia remained vigilant, glancing at the wet ground around her. "Don’t worry, I won’t hurt you." Elias Colton was not joking, "I only want Anton Miller’s life and Justin Kingston’s money. Once I have those, you’ll be free to go." He said, "You’re not my target." As he finished talking, Elias Colton used his phone to request to add Anton Miller on WeChat. Mia did not breathe easier, "Aren’t you afraid of being caught by the police? It’s a law-abiding society, and you’re still daring to take a life?" "Do you think I’m kidding?" He continued operating his phone without looking up, "This is all gasoline. Can’t you smell it?" Mia was shocked, suddenly feeling nauseous and dizzy. "Justin cares so much for you and happens to be rich. Asking him for a billion isn’t too much, is it?" Elias Colton had already figured it out, "The value you bring to him is definitely more than a billion." "Elias Colton, I advise you to stop." "You can’t persuade me." He said, "I’m naturally inclined to play with fire." In Ian Shelby’s villa. Anton Miller stared at the request from Elias Colton to add him on WeChat. He was stunned! He even wondered if it was an illusion! Coming back to his senses, he looked up at Justin Kingston, "Elias Colton added me on WeChat." Justin Kingston turned to look, stunned as well, "Accept it." As soon as Anton Miller accepted, a video call from Elias Colton came through! Justin Kingston got up and walked over to him, "Answer it!" In the abandoned factory’s second floor, the familiar ringing fell heavily on Mia Lane’s chest with each sound! Elias Colton had already switched on the rear camera. He made a gesture, and the two men holding Mia released her arms only to grab them again. So, when Anton Miller answered, the image of Mia bound and held appeared before him! "Mia!" He was nearly scared out of his wits, leaping from his chair. "Anton Miller! Listen to me! Don’t you dare come here!" Mia screamed at him frantically, "Do not come!!" When Justin Kingston saw this, panic surged within him. Before he could speak, the camera shifted, focusing on Elias Colton. "Great, you’re all here." Elias Colton’s lips curled into a cold smile, "Let me be brief." "Elias Colton! You bastard!" Anton Miller was furious, "She has no quarrel with you! Why did you capture her! Come at me if you have the guts!" Justin Kingston gripped Anton Miller’s shoulder, signaling him to calm down since Mia was in their hands. Anton Miller calmed down and fell silent. After a moment, Elias Colton asked, "Done talking? If you’re done, listen to me. If not, continue." "Don’t harm her." Justin Kingston was steady and calm, "We can negotiate." "I do enjoy listening to you." Elias Colton smiled, "To save her, you must meet two conditions simultaneously: First, I want Anton Miller’s life. Second, I want your money."
