Chapter 266 Your Scam Is Outdated!
After Sawyer and Virgil finished mocking, they returned to the previous topic.
Sawyer pulled out a dagger.
He waved it threateningly in front of Barbara and said, "I won't waste my breath with you. Give me your mom's phone number. Your family is so rich. I'm sure they'll be willing to pay a hefty sum to ransom you! If you don't cooperate, don't blame me for being ruthless. I'll cut a few lines on your pretty face and sprinkle some salt. Let's see what this beautiful face looks like when it's turned into salted meat."
Although Barbara liked women, that didn't mean she didn't acknowledge she was a woman!
She cared a lot about her face!
Facing Sawyer's threat, Barbara had no choice but to comply and gave out Sandra's phone number!
Sawyer smiled triumphantly, took Virgil's phone, and dialed Sandra's number!
Soon, the call was through!
Sandra's voice came from the other side, "Who is this?"
Sawyer cleared his throat and said gruffly, "Is this Sandra? I'm informing you that your daughter has been kidnapped. You have 12 hours to prepare one point five seven million dollars for her ransom! Otherwise, I'll kill her!"
But to Sawyer's surprise, Sandra responded coldly, "Are you crazy?"
Sandra hung up!
Sawyer and Virgil looked at each other, their eyes full of confusion!
Sawyer said, "What did I say wrong? That's how they do it in the movies!"
Virgil suggested quietly, "Sawyer, why don't you try calling again?"
Sawyer nodded and redialed Sandra's number!
A few seconds later, the call went through!
This time, Sawyer spoke first, "Sandra, I'm serious. Your daughter is in my hands! If I don't get the money in 12 hours, your daughter's life will be at risk. I hope you think it over and don't do anything stupid!"
Sandra responded coldly, "Idiot. I don't have time to waste with you, scammers! If you really need money, rob a bank. It's faster than anything else!"
She hung up again!
Sawyer's eye twitched violently!
"Fuck, I know robbing a bank is faster, but only an idiot would do something illegal!"
Hearing this, Ryder thought bitterly, 'Kidnapping is also illegal!'
"Fuck! I can't believe I've failed!" Sawyer dialed the number again!
"Sorry, the number you have dialed is now switched off."
Sawyer yelled, "Fuck!"
In his anger, he threw the phone to the ground, smashing it into pieces!
Virgil's eyes almost popped out.
That was his phone!
Meanwhile, at the Johnson family!
Sandra turned off her phone and said discontentedly, "How many years has it been since people used such an outdated kidnapping scam? No wonder they can't make any money!"
After speaking, she asked Matthew, "How's the situation with Ryder?"
"Well..." Matthew's heart raced. Everything had gone smoothly last night.
Who would have thought Ryder would be kidnapped by someone else first?
He still didn't know who preempted them!
After all, Ryder had countless enemies, not just the Johnson family!
Matthew had already sent Orlando to track them down, but there was no latest news yet!
"Speak! How's the situation?" Sandra's voice rang out again!
Faced with Sandra's expectant and oppressive gaze, Matthew didn't dare to tell the truth, fearing Sandra's blame, which he couldn't bear!
He could only muster up the courage to answer, "Last night, Orlando said he had already captured Ryder and was holding him. But during the capture, they were too rough, and one of Ryder's arms broke. I was afraid you'd be upset, so I didn't dare to tell you right away!"
Sandra nodded. "It doesn't matter, as long as you've captured Ryder! You've done very well this time. Once this is all over, you'll be handsomely rewarded!"
After speaking, Sandra turned to Lawrence and Abigail. She commanded, "Since yesterday, SR Group and Maple Real Estate have been in chaos, especially Maple Real Estate, which has seen multiple conflicts between homeowners and developers. Take this opportunity to continue stirring things up. We must not let this issue die down. According to my plan, as long as everything goes smoothly, in three days, the Johnson family will dominate Houston's building materials market. As for Houston's real estate market, it will undergo a massive transformation!"
Lawrence and Abigail both nodded excitedly, indicating they understood.
Just as Abigail was about to leave, Sandra called her back, "Abigail, did you see Annie yesterday? Her phone has been off."
Abigail shook her head. "Yesterday afternoon, Annie said she was going out to have fun and didn't take me with her. I don't know where she went! Is something wrong?"
Sandra shook her head. "Nothing. I'll get out of your hair."
Abigail left!
Sandra didn't think much of it.
After all, Annie was grown and had money. She wouldn't run into any trouble!
However, Sandra didn't notice that not far away, Matthew was nervously texting Orlando, urging him to keep searching.
In the president's office of SR Group.
Sarah hadn't slept for a whole day and night!
"Sorry, the number you have dialed is now switched off."
Unable to reach Ryder, Sarah bit her lip anxiously. "Where on earth did he go?"
Ryder had been out of contact since yesterday afternoon.
He didn't even return to Villa No. 1 last night!
Now not only was the company in trouble but also Ryder was missing!
Sarah was extremely worried!
Since a person had to be missing for more than 24 hours before the police could be involved, Sarah had to ask Rex and George to send people to look for Ryder, but unfortunately, there was still no news!
"This is the President's Office. You can't just barge in!"
"Get out of the way! You're merely an assistant. How dare you block our path?"
At this moment, a series of footsteps and arguments could be heard outside!
Immediately after, the office door was forcefully pushed open!
Several people barged in!
Sarah looked closely and saw that it was Paul and other former high-level executives of SR Group!
"It's you." Sarah frowned.
Paul snorted, "Didn't see this coming?"
At this moment, Emily squeezed through the crowd with red eyes.
She apologized to Sarah, "Sarah, I tried to stop them, but..."
Sarah raised her hand to interrupt, "It's okay. You can leave now."
"But..."
"Leave! Don't worry about me!"
Although Emily was reluctant, she couldn't disobey Sarah's orders.
She cast a wary glance at Paul and the others before leaving the office!
Sarah looked at Paul and the others and calmly asked, "What brings you here today?"
Paul smiled. "To be precise, it's not me visiting today, but this gentleman!"
As he spoke, Paul gestured to a man wearing sunglasses and a mask behind him!
The man stepped forward and removed his mask and sunglasses.
A flash of malice crossed his eyes as he greeted, "Sarah, long time no see!"
