Desires Die Hard

The Kidnappers Are After Money

Evan walked over to her and patted gently on her head. He said, "Don't overthink it. Let me deal with it. All you need to think about is protecting yourself and the kids."

Anya nodded and held his warm hand. She said, "Be careful."

Evan kissed her on the forehead and said, "Will do. You'll be released in two days. Nathaniel and Eudora have been asking me where you've been."

"What did you tell them?"

Evan answered, "I told them you were on a business trip. And they didn't ask for you anymore." If they continued to ask, he wouldn't know what to do with them.

Anya said, "Okay. I'll get well soon and go home to see them. I miss them too."

Evan nodded. He stayed with her for a while and then he left, leaving his assistant and bodyguards to look after her. He went to see Dennis.

It took him 20 minutes to get to the hotel where Paige was staying.

Dennis didn't waste any time when Evan came. Dennis told him what had happened. Evan said, "Let me get the manager."

Evan invested in this hotel.

It shouldn't be a problem for him to get the manager.

Dennis was grateful. He said sincerely, "Thank you for your help, Mr. Welton."

Evan said, "I'm just helping for the sake of my wife."

He didn't want Dennis to think that he came because he wanted to help.

Evan wouldn't want that especially after what had happened with the hit.

Dennis knew how angry Evan was. The fact that he didn't mess with Paige was Evan being polite to the Ford family. So Dennis said sincerely, "I'm aware of that but I want to thank you anyway."

Evan didn't say anything more and went to check out the suite. Dennis went with him.

When they were looking around, the manager came. When he saw Evan, he greeted Evan.

Evan glanced at the manager and then said to Dennis, "Show him the pictures and videos you've got."

Dennis nodded and showed the manager those things.

The manager checked several times and then called the chef in the kitchen.

After confirming with different people, he said, "Mr. Welton, we don't know who that is."

Evan said in a serious tone, "You don't know? How did you get employed? Are you doing your job?"

The manager was already sweating under the pressure.

He didn't know where that man came from or how he got into the kitchen.

There must have been something wrong and the manager was responsible.

The manager said tentatively, "Mr. Welton, the kitchen can be very busy sometimes. And we would need some part-time college students or waiters to help in the kitchen. I guess that guy works part-time as well."

"Part-time? Somebody had to have introduced him here. I give you five minutes to find out who got him the job," Evan said. He didn't want to waste more time so he gave the manager an ultimatum. He said, "Find him or you're fired."

The manager was scared. He nodded and said, "Mr. Welton, I will find the guy who gave him the job in 5 minutes." Then he ran off.

Evan and Dennis waited for the call from the kidnapper in the suite.

They were after money.

If they were after the captive's life, they would have done it long ago.Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

There could be other things they were after so they waited for the call.
