She had waited for a long time for this day to come.
"Okay." She held Larry tight and her heart was filled with bliss.
They continued whispering sweet nothings as they returned home.
"Larry!" Suddenly, Joan screamed with a voice filled with terror. Larry immediately ran over and was stunned by the sight that met his eyes. The whole house was in a mess.
Who had been here? Immediately, Larry ran into Delilah's room and then into Lucius's room only to find that neither of them was in. Without any hesitation, he took out his mobile phone and dialed.
Very quickly, Caspian and Jessica arrived.
"Larry, should we call the police?" Caspian's gaze was steely. How evil of anyone to attack a child and an old woman.
"No, not yet." Larry waved his hand to signal in the negative. Before knowing the facts, it is best not to be rash. Di ng Ding Ding!
Suddenly, the landline rang on the table next to him, and Joan immediately answered the phone, as if expecting something.
"Joan?" There was a disguised voice on the phone. Joan was taken aback and then reacted.
Its me.
"Good! Tomorrow, you come alone, bring five million..."
That was for money? Joan's eyes gradually dimmed. In less than two minutes, the caller hung up. Joan slumped onto the sofa and her expression showed she was a little frightened.
"How did they go? What did he say?" Larry grabbed her arm tightly asking anxiously. Caspian and Jessica looked very worried, awaiting her explanation...
Joan slowly raised her head and twitched her nose. Then she cleared her throat, trying to calm herself down. "Larry, I need five million."
Larry looked at Joan. Although he was a little surprised, he did not show any unusual reaction. He replied firmly, "Okay, I will give you five million."
Slowly, Joan got up and entered the bedroom nearby.
