Jayce had thought that the person who saved his daughter would be some muscular, strong young man. Ethan wasn’t exactly thin, but he certainly wasn’t muscular either Jayce couldn’t imagine how Ethan managed to catch Lily, who had fallen from the 25th floor. Could his arms possibly handle that?
“Hello, Mr. Bennett!”
“Hello”
The sudden greeting interrupted Jayce’s thoughts. He quickly walled over and grabbed Erlan’s hand to thank him. After all, so many people had witnessed it, and now, Lily was safe and sound. He couldn’t help but believe it.
“Thank you so much for saving my daughter. 11 it weren’t for you, don’t losow what I would’ve done
He glanced at Lily and couldn’t help but sagh again. “You know, Lily is my only daughter. If something had happened to her, her mother and I would never have been able to move past it for the rest of our lives.”
“well, maybe you should try seeing things from her perspective. If you had given her more freedom, perhaps things wouldn’t have happened the way they did.”
“Yes, you’re right. We’ll definitely reflect on this moving forward.”
After this incident, lace certainly wouldn’t due to pressure Lily anymore. He would spoil her and not ask for anything else. He hoped she wouldn’t consider soch drastic measures again.
“By the way, take this.”
Before Ethan could react, Jayce handed him a bankcard. “This has you thousand dollars in it. Consider it a token of gratitude for saving Lily”
Wealth should be pursued with integrity. Ethan had never intended to ask for anything in rerum, so accepting the money would go against his initial intentions.
“You think it’s too little, don’t you? I can give you more. My tamily can easily afford a few million.” He wouldn’t bat an eye at spending even ten million for Lily
“No, Mr Bennett. I truly can’t accept this Not only did I never think about asking for anything, but simply knowing my sister is connected to your family is enough reason for me to help so, please take the money back. If you really want to thank me, a simple meal would be enough.”
This response left Jayce utterly surprised. To people in their circle, 500 thousand dollars was just the cost of a house. It was nothing to them.
by refused. He displayed a But for someone like Ethan, who came from a small town, this was a huge sum. Few people would resist the temptation. Yet he repeatedly level of composure fat beyond his prets. No wonder he was Serena’s benther, Jayce couldn’t help but look at him with newfound respect.
“Alright then I won’t insist. How about tomorrow evening?”
Since than wouldn’t accept the money, Jayce could only consider other ways to show his gratitude After all, they were neighbors now. They would have plenty of
chances to interact in the future.
“Come to my house tomorrow evening. My wife and I will cook and treat you.”
I’ll be looking forward to it. Compared to the moory, a simple meal was something than could accept
“It’s getting late. You should rest. If you need anything, feel free to call me. Here’s my business card. ”
jayce smiled as he handed over his card. It clearly stated his position as the chairman of the board of Bennett Real Estate Group along with his contact number.
Erhan was taken aback. No wonder Jayce could casually offer soo thousand dollars as a thank–you. He was a real estate mogul.
Without hesitation, Erhan pulled out an old Molda plone and entered the number immediately.
Jayce and Lily were stunned. They stared at his outdated phone in disbelief, was that really a phone? It was practically an antique
If Ethanhadn’t been entering the number, they would have doubted it could even turn on.
“Erty, you should rest. I’ll take you somewhere tomorrow.
In tacit understanding, Jayce and Lily didn’t bring it up.
After day left, Ethan took a quick shower. The towels and other items were all freshly prepared. They had a faint, pleasant fragrance. But when he woke up after a nap, something was wrong
A kocking sound came from the door.
“Illy, are you awake? quird Open the door! Something bad has happened!”
Hearing Lily’s voice, Ethan quickly got dressed and opened the door.
“What’s going on? Why are you here so early?“!
“Helena’s been kidnapped. We don’t kuurw where she is!” As soon as the door opened, Lily rushed in and explained anxiously.
“Der Folderto stay with me, but she wouldn’t listen. Now, look what happened.”
“Wait. Erty, why don’t you are wonted at all?“
second.
T
se of wonying? She’s already been kidnapped. ” Ethan shuupped and began his predictions. He muttered some incantations in his mind. After a few came out with his results.
“Don’t worry, dhe klidnapper
“How do you
We can’t reach her by phone Even the police can’t locate her with technical means.
The kidnapping happened last night, and Lily only framed about it this moing when her parents told her. She mished over immediately to tell Ethan. But what
surprised her was Ethan’s reaction. Not only was he not anxious, but he didn’t even seem concerned.
“I told you I can read the future, didn’t I? That’s how I know.”
“Can you locate Serena?” Lily didn’t care whether Ethan’s words were true or not. The most important thing was finding Serens. Otherwise, they would be lett without options
“Of course, I can. But I’ll need something personal of hers, preferably a strand of her hair”
“That’s easy.”
without hesitation, Lily dashed into Ethan’s bedroom and searched the bed. Within minutes, she pulled out two strands of hair.
“Here’s Serena’s hair.”
No wonder the bedroom and towels smelled so good. It turned out that Serena had stayed here.
Ethan took the hair and gently twisted the strands into a special knot. Then, he chanted another incantation. To Lily’s astonishment, the hair began to move by itself, floating in the air as if by magic.
“My God, how are you doing this? Etty, you’re amazing!” Lily covered her mouth in shock. Her astonishment was evident on her face.
“It’s nothing. Just a little trick,” he replied casually. Guided by the floating hair, the two quickly left the house.
Meanwhile, in an abandoned house somewhere in Silverbank City, Serena slowly opened her eyes. She was still groggy
As she looked around at the surroundings, she recalled what happened the previous night. It seemed that on her way home, the car stalled, so she got out to check on her car. After that, she was knocked unconscious by someone using a cloth soaked in ethanol.
Instinctively, she checked her clothes. Thankfully, everything was still intact. There were no signs that she had been undressed. However, her hands and feet were now tied, and her mouth was taped shut..
As she quietly surveyed the environment, the rusty door creaked open from the outside.
