Joshua hurriedly rushed to the villa, and the sharp, ear-piercing sound that came out of the car in a flash startled the people sitting in the living room awake.

Joshua hurriedly walked into the living room and saw the red-eyed Elizabeth. He anxiously walked over, extended his hand and pulled her into his embrace to comfort her, "Alright, don't be afraid, I'll have my brother replace someone to settle this matter. The police are also looking for your aunt at all costs. I'm sure she'll be OK."

"I feel that Bart is the one who did this, his target is me, it's a pity that he was unable to replace me, he just wanted to use my aunt to threaten me, Joshua, do you have any way to let me talk to Bart on the phone? I just want to ask..."

"If he did, do you think he would admit it on the phone? Eliza, calm down, Bart will not be so stupid as to admit it, if you call him, it will be equivalent to exposing your whereabouts, he will immediately send someone over to cause you trouble, believe me, as long as you do not appear, your aunt will be safe, his goal is for you, he does not need to be accused of murder." Joshua helped her analyze this matter in detail, hoping that she would be able to take it.

Elizabeth had only thought of this after she lost her mind, but hearing Joshua's words, she felt that it made sense.

Just then, Barry Jones's phone call went through to Cathy's phone.

Cathy glanced at it, and then gave it to Elizabeth: "It should be for you. It's the number you just dialed out."

Elizabeth hurriedly took her phone over to answer the call, when she heard Barry Jones's voice from the other side, "Elizabeth, where are you? Can you come home for a bit? If you're thinking about your aunt's life, you should come back and wait for news with us."

"Did the kidnappers send you a message? Tell me, I will think of a way to save Aunt!" Elizabeth's expression tensed up, and asked anxiously.

"Elizabeth, you are truly unfilial. Do you not dare to return to your home? It was a waste for your aunt to think of you every day." Barry Jones wanted to use his provocation to trick her into going home. "Did you all not welcome me?" Elizabeth ridiculed.

"Just now the police came to ask for information. If you came back, you can cooperate with the police in their investigation. Elizabeth, where are you, still overseas?" Barry Jones couldn't replace a reasonable reason for her to go back.

"Don't worry about where I am. If you have any recent developments with Aunt, tell me and I'll get someone to help." Elizabeth did not want to see the Jones either.

"The kidnapper just called. He said that if you don't appear within a day, they will kill Lily. Their target is you. Are you really going to watch your aunt die for you? Elizabeth, aren't you a filial daughter? If you still have a conscience, you should take your life and trade it for your aunt's, understand?" Seeing that he couldn't persuade her, Barry Jones could only mock her.

Elizabeth trembled. Just as she had expected, the other party was looking for her, and her aunt was only a substitute.

"What else did he say?" Elizabeth's voice was broken as she pretended to be calm and asked.

"He didn't say anything more. Think about it carefully. Your aunt has two underage children. Do you really have the heart to see her die for you?" After Barry finished speaking, he immediately hung up the phone.

Elizabeth only felt her vision darken, and she started to stagger. Joshua reached out, grabbed her, and held her in his embrace, then asked softly: "Who called you? What did he say?"

"It's Barry. He said that the kidnapper called him and wanted to use my life to exchange for my aunt's life. Joshua, what should I do? The other party is obviously here for me. My aunt's life is at stake, so I can't just sit there and do nothing!" She was not a selfish person, and if the other party wanted her life, she was willing to exchange for her aunt.

"It seems that Bart is playing a trick. How about this, call Barry now and tell him that you will have an appointment to meet with him at a place. I'll call my big brother and see if we can lure them out to capture them. Joshua did not want Elizabeth to be an ungrateful unfilial daughter, the words of the kidnapper was so obvious, if Elizabeth did not appear, then this matter would continue to be in a deadlock, and Lily Jones's situation would become even more dangerous.

When Elizabeth called Barry to set up an appointment, Joshua had also contacted the police and Edwards to create a trap for the criminals.

Edwards asked concernedly on the phone, "Josh, putting Elizabeth in danger, will this hurt her and the baby in her belly?"

"I know this is very risky, but the person the kidnapper wants to capture is her. As long as she shows her face, she will be able to lure the snake out of its cave. Don't worry. I will take good care of her." Joshua could not only care about his woman and baby's safety now, he had to save Lily Jones too. Otherwise, if something were to happen to Lily Jones, his relationship with Elizabeth would be affected as well. He didn't want Eliza to be regretful either.

"Let me accompany Elizabeth!" Fiona immediately said.

Joshua looked at her gratefully: "Fiona, you're new at the moment, and your skills are good as well. I can only temporarily leave Eliza in your care. I will also be by your side."

"What about me? I want to help too!" Cathy immediately stood up and said.

"Cathy, don't get involved in this matter. Wait for our news at home." Joshua didn't want to drag her into the water.

Cathy also felt that she was useless, and nodded her head: "Alright, you guys must be careful. I'll wait for you guys at home. Eliza, don't scare my future nephew!" Elizabeth forced a smile: "I hope that we will all return safely."

The police had already found the meeting place and secretly set it up. Edwards had also sent his men to defend, just waiting for the criminals to appear.

Also, they were looking for Lily Jones's location. Although the photos were meticulously taken, the police wanted to replace some clues about it and quickly rescue her.

Elizabeth and Fiona sat in the car and arrived at the agreed meeting place, which was the teahouse that Barry would frequent to drink tea at.

Barry saw that Elizabeth had actually not come by herself, and immediately stared at Fiona. "Who is she?"

"My friend, I'm scared. I asked her to come with me!" Elizabeth replied.

Barry looked out the window, and then said with a sneer. "Are you afraid of death? Then you shouldn't come. If you anger the other party, all three of us will lose our lives, and your friend's life will be lost for nothing!"

The reason why Barry said that was because he wanted to scare Fiona away. Unfortunately, Fiona was incomparably calm, tightly standing next to Elizabeth, and did not move like a mountain.
