Chapter 3048

Oh? She's twisting the facts, what a b*tch.

That wasn't what she promised me.

Back then, Abelyn was in a rush and promised to pay the man five hundred grand whether he succeeded or failed. But now, Abelyn was lying or had forgotten about it. Right now, she refused to admit to it.

"I recorded our conversation back then. You'd better transfer the money, or I shall throw you into the sea!" the man threatened.

Ha!Who is he trying to bluff?Does he think I'm a coward? Abelyn was very experienced in the corporate world, so she wasn't afraid of his threat.

Instead, she averted her gaze and stared out of the window, ignoring him altogether. She isn't going to pay me.

The man inched nearer to her and lifted her chin, his eyes gleaming with malice.

"Are you going to pay me or not?"

"No!" came Abelyn's firm reply before she shut her eyes.

Alright, then.I won't hold back either.

The man whipped out a sharp knife and sharpened in on the table menacingly.

Abelyn instantly started quaking in her boots.

Is he seriously going to kill me because I didn't pay him that five hundred grand? Fear flickered past her eyes.

Shit, am I going to die in his hands? All the man wanted was for Abelyn to pay the remaining five hundred thousand.

Suddenly, something occurred to him.

Wait, she doesn't have the money, but perhaps her friend might be loaded! He ordered his men, "Go there and replace her phone"

Shortly after, Abelyn's phone was delivered to him.

At the sight of her phone, Abelyn panicked.

"What are you doing?" she inquired nervously.

Is he going to demand a ransom from my friends? Ring! Ring! What a good timing! The man flashed an evil smirk for Abelyn's phone was ringing just in time. "Abelyn, where are you?"

Dustin's anxious voice sounded out of the phone.

"Why did you suddenly cut the line? Tell me where you are now. I'll go pick you up."

The man had put him on speaker, so Abelyn heard everything he said. She was deeply touched by his concern.

"She's with me now"

Upon hearing the man's voice, Dustin fell silent on the other end of the line.

"Prepare five hundred thousand. Deliver the money to the address which I'll send you later at tomorrow noon"

With that, the line was cut.

Dustin was shocked into silence by the man's request.

Who is he?Why did he kidnap Abelyn? Did she do something against the law again?That might be her enemy! Crash! Feeling vexed, Dustin knocked everything off the table without saying anything. Everyone jolted in surprise at his sudden action.

"Dustin, what happened? Tell us. Don't just smash things and keep quiet!" Joan spoke haltingly.

"Abelyn had been kidnapped. The kidnapper demanded a ransom of five hundred grand" Dustin revealed.

Everyone immediately gasped in horror.

Serve her right! She has brought this upon herself.

Nancy pursed her lips as her face contorted in anger.

Yet, deep down, she was concerned for Abelyn's safety.

"I'll loan you the money, Dustin"

Jory stood out and announced.

Why is he offering help all of a sudden? Nancy stepped out and tugged on his sleeves to show her disapproval.

"Don't worry.Money isn't an issue as long as I'm here" Jory added.

Dustin wasn't as rich as Jory and Larry, so he didn't have that much savings.

Nancy shoved Jory and reprimanded him.

"Are you cray?"
