On the way back, Eudora began to calculate in her mind whether she had enough money.
Over the past few years, she had saved a significant sum of money working abroad. Originally, she had planned to save it up for Juju. After a rough estimation, she decided that she had enough.
She quickly headed to the bank to withdraw the money before it was closed.
It took her longer than usual to withdraw such a large sum of cash.
By the time she came out, it was already dark. Eudora was not in the mood to go home, so she went straight to Global Plaza with the money.
On the way, Eudora felt that there was a discomfort in her stomach, since she hadn't eaten anything since noon.
However, no matter how unwell she felt, she was not in the mood to eat.
After finding a place to sit in Global Plaza, Eudora looked at her mobile phone, waiting for the clock to turn eleven.
At the same time, Harley had already arranged everything. He came out of the police station and headed to meet up with Amos.
At this time, Amos was still at home, reading the newspaper.
Harley frowned and said, "Come on. Let's go to the Global Plaza and have a look."
"Wait, not just yet!" Amos said.
"What's wrong?" Harley frowned even harder. He was getting antsier and antsier as time passed.
"It's too conspicuous!"
The kidnapper was obviously coming for Eudora, but up until now, they hadn't revealed their true self. To think more in-depth, Eudora was not someone that was worthy of the kidnapper to go through all this hassle.
Therefore, Amos felt that there was something strange with this matter.
"Maybe they are watching us. If we go out, we will put Eudora in danger."
Harley nodded. He took a deep breath and plopped down on the couch. He took a magazine casually and flipped through it. Three seconds later, he put it down in disgust.
"Why are your magazines and papers all on finance? It's boring!"
Amos ignored him, but in all truthfulness, he was no better than Harley. He might look calm on the surface, but in fact, he had been staring at the same page for more than ten minutes.
Just then, Auntie Valerie came in and asked them, "Dinner is ready! Do you want to eat now?"
Amos frowned, "No thanks, you can prepare some soup and warm it up in the pot. Then, you can get off work!"
Auntie Valerie nodded and went to prepare. Harley looked at Amos with a sigh on his face. "Back in your glory days, you used to not remember to have food for days, now you actually know how to take care of yourself. Love really changes someone."
Amos ignored him and silently stared at the clock. When the needle finally pointed exactly at 10:30, he shot up from the couch and said, "Let's go!"
Eudora waited downstairs at Global Plaza for the time to arrive, and then she got up and went upstairs.
At this moment, the shopping mall downstairs was already closed. The whole building looked quiet and eerie.
Eudora took a deep breath and slowly climbed up a small staircase in the back. There was still plenty of time, so she didn't walk fast, and took every step as if it was her last.
She had thought about it clearly. She had to save Juju no matter what, even if she had to exchange her safety with her life.
At eleven o'clock, Eudora finally reached the highest floor of Global Plaza, the tallest building of Rosaville City. She stood on the platform and took a deep breath.
At a glance, there was no one on the platform. The wind was so strong that it blew her hair into a mess. Eudora, who had tried very hard to stay calm, was anxious again when she realized that no one was there.
She frowned, took a deep breath, and then took out her cell phone.
At the same time, the phone suddenly rang. The shrill ringtone was particularly loud in the quiet night.
