Xavier was stunned. He looked at Alice and questioned in a cold voice, "So, what you're saying is that you're not going to show Marry any mercy?"

Alice did not stand on ceremony and said bluntly, "She's lucky that we did not harm her twice as much as she did to us. We are already benevolent yet you still want us to show mercy. I think you're being greedy."

Alice had made herself clear, but she realised that this man was not willing to give up.

Surely enough, Xavier said, "You two are sisters, there is no need to argue. Just forget about it."

"Are you trying to persuade me to be more generous?" Alice sneered.

"Of course." Xavier nodded.

"You weren't in our shoes. You have no idea what we've been through. Why should you persuade us to be magnanimous? Let me ask you a question. If you were set up by someone and it leaves a mark on you forever, will you forgive that person?"

"I'm a man," he replied in a deep voice.

"Oh, so what you're saying is that you're actually happy when a woman hurts you?"

"Although I don't want to admit it, I have to say it. This does not affect a man much. Instead, it affects a woman more."

"However, now that you're married to Jensen, I guess it can be regarded as a favorable outcome. Not to mention your sister, who is with Heinz. They even have two adorable children. What else do they still want?"

"Sometimes life is a blessing in disguise. Since you have happiness in your life, why don't you cherish it?"

"You should ask yourself this question. To be exact, you should ask Marry. She already has the Sunny Group and Simon, yet she does not cherish them. Instead, five years later when she met us again, she wanted to annihilate us all. Why don't you ask her why she isn't cherishing what she has?"

The man was speechless, and he frowned. He snorted coldly and said irritably, "Well, you have a glib tongue, so I can't seem to convince you. I'm sorry to let you down, but don't ever think that I'll let you go." As soon as he finished speaking, Xavier covered Alice's mouth and nose with a cloth. At that moment, Alice felt that everything became pitch black as she fell into unconsciousness again.

When Xavier saw Alice lying on the bed, he threw the towel away and went to wash his hands. When he came back, he picked up the phone and dialed a number.

After the call was connected, he said, "Godmother, Alice refuses to cooperate. I even threatened her, but she's extremely stubborn."

The woman's voice on the phone was sharp. "It seems like you're good for nothing. You can't even handle such a small thing. She's the youngest, and yet you can't even subdue her. Tell me, what should I do with you?"

There was a look of helplessness on Xavier's face, and he immediately said, "Godmother, I think that we only want Marry's freedom, but now they don't even want to let us go. If I hurt Alice badly, it would worsen the situation."

"You're full of needless fears and that's stopping you from doing great things. You have to put away your good thoughts. If you are not ruthless enough. They will not be afraid of you. If you can't do it, I will send someone else. You'd better be clear and don't let me down."

"Yes, Godmother!" Xavier said. "Leave it to me.

Give me 24 hours."

"Fine!"

He hung up the phone.

Xavier then looked at Alice, who was lying on the bed. After that, he frowned and went out.

At the time, Jensen and Heinz still had not managed to replace out who had kidnapped Alice.

In the surveillance footage, they managed to replace out the last place where Alice was seen. However, there was neither any trace of Alice anymore, nor were there any suspicious vehicles after that.

At that time, they were sorting through a large number of vehicles as well as the surveillance footage from the buildings nearby. It seemed that they could not replace any trace, no matter how hard they tried. Frankly, Alice seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth.

Meanwhile, Jensen was starting to become anxious, and his whole face was gloomy. As time passed, they still could not seem to replace Alice. His heart was all over the place and he was beginning to hyperventilate as he was afraid that something would happen to her.

Heinz stole a glance at his watch and realized that two hours had passed. He had promised Grace that he would come back in an hour's time but he had been gone for two hours. There seemed to not be enough clues to lead to Alice's whereabouts.

While Heinz was busy, his phone suddenly rang.

He held the phone in his hand and saw that it was a call from Grace.

It seemed like Grace could not wait any longer.

Then, Heinz hesitated for a moment before he answered the phone.

"Grace, it's late. Why are you not asleep yet?" Heinz deliberately maintained his calm tone as he pretended that everything was fine.

"Heinz." Grace said on the phone, "Are you with Alice and Jensen?"

Then, Heinz's heart started to throb in his chest, yet he still said, "Yes!"

"Then, can you please pass the phone to Alice? I want to talk to her." Grace said, "I tried calling her but her phone seems to be turned off. I could not get through."

Heinz's heart instantly threatened to leap out of his chest and his heart began pounding even harder. He did not know how to answer her as he had a guilty conscience. After a slight pause, he said, "Grace, I think you should go to sleep first. You are pregnant now. I know you are worried about Alice and Jensen but you can be rest assured that everything will be fine now that I'm here."

"Then, can you pass the phone to Alice?" Grace was still worried. It was so late at night. Grace felt that Alice was too reckless.

She was worried that Alice had gone to her mother-in-law's house. Honestly, Alice should be more mindful of an elderly person's feelings instead of running amok. It was getting late yet she still did not want to sleep and instead was making a fuss about nothing.

"Alice can't come to the phone right now," Heinz said.

"Why not?" Grace immediately asked.

"She's afraid that you will lecture her," said Heinz.

Then, Grace frowned and said, "Then, tell her that since she's afraid that I will lecture her, she should go to sleep. Tell her not to let everyone worry about her. If she had anything she needed to discuss, we can do it tomorrow."

"Okay, I will tell Alice and Jensen immediately." Heinz said quickly, "You should also go to sleep now. You're pregnant. You should not be staying up so late. You'll only make us feel worried. Come on. Go to sleep now."

Then, Grace hesitated for a while and said, "I know, I'm going to sleep now."

However, Heinz did not say anything else and quickly hung up the phone.

Hence, Grace stared at the phone in her hand and she felt that something was amiss. As she thought about it, she really felt like something was off.

Her right eyelid had started to twitch violently. As soon as she felt her eyelid twitching, she knew that something bad had happened.

What the hell was going on?

The more she thought about it, the more she felt that her sister wouldn't be so reckless. Was there something wrong?

For no reason at all, her heart skipped a beat. She felt extremely worried.
