Chapter 2398

When she heard Madeline asking her this, Ava felt as if her heartstrings had been tugged by something abruptly.

"Maddie, why are you asking that?" Ava was so nervous that she even stuttered a little when she spoke. As she asked, she took out her phone. "I talked with Danny last night. Maddie, look." She handed the phone to Madeline nervously.

"He was fine when he was talking to me last night. How could something have happened today?"

Madeline hurriedly calmed Ava's emotions. "Ava, don't be nervous. Let me take a look first."

Madeline took the phone and saw the messages Daniel sent Ava last night.

"Ava, you didn't talk on the phone with him, did

you?"

"No." Ava shook her head, looking increasingly nervous and solemn. "Maddie, what happened? Did something happen to Danny?". Madeline looked up at Ava's anxious eyes. "Ava, calm down and listen to me. Maybe nothing has happened to Dan, but he's missing."

"What? Missing?" Ava's eyes widened in shock." Missing? How did he go missing all of a sudden? No, no, no, we just talked to each other last night!"

Ava got her phone back and called Daniel right away.

However, he did not pick up.

Ava called two more times in a row, but still, no one answered. However, after a minute, she got a message.

Daniel: [Ava, I'm busy right now. I'll reply to you later.

This message was sent in Daniel's name but clearly, this was not Daniel's reply.

"Ava, just reply and say okay," Madeline asked Ava to reply.

Ava was in a mess at the moment. She texted back according to Madeline's order, and the other party did not reply anymore.

Ava did not understand what was going on right now. She followed Madeline to the office. As soon as she entered the door, she saw Jeremy talking to someone on the phone. Jeremy's expression looked unusually cold.

Jeremy and Madeline looked at each other. After a while, Jeremy hung up the phone.

"Jeremy, how is it? Any news from Dan?"

Jeremy shook his head slightly. "I've asked Ken to follow up."

"Maddie, Jeremy, can you tell me what exactly happened?"

Ava felt like her heart was going through extreme torment with every passing second.

Madeline did not want to hide it at first, but she was worried that Ava would be restless with worry when she found out.

When he sensed Madeline's dilemma, Jeremy said softly, "Linnie, just tell Ava. She'll replace out sooner or later anyway."

Madeline did not hesitate any longer and told Ava what she had just learned in the morning. "Ava, it seems that Dan has been kidnapped." Ava was stunned when she heard that. She wondered if she had heard it wrong.

Kidnapped?

'Danny was kidnapped?'

She and Madeline were just kidnapped a while back, and now, it was Daniel's turn?

Seeing how lost Ava was, Madeline opened a message on her phone to show Ava.

The message was sent by the unknown number displayed on the screen. The person was demanding a ransom of 500 million dollars. Otherwise, they would kill the hostage.

What was even more surprising was that the kidnapper requested Madeline to be the one to deliver the ransom and have Madeline negotiate with them in person. 8
