The thought had never occurred to Eudora before. It turned out that after all this while, what the kidnapper wanted was not her money, but her life!
She gritted her teeth and pretended that she couldn't hear what the kidnapper had told her. "Huh, what did you say?"
Of course, the kidnapper was no ordinary person and was not someone who could be easily fooled. When he heard her question, he proceeded to attack Juju again.
Juju, who seemed to understand their conversation, started to shake her head violently while sobbing.
Nothing hurt Eudora more than to see her beloved Juju being mistreated and bullied like that. Her heart ached as if it was dripping blood.
No, she couldn't just stand here and do nothing.
Eudora looked around frantically while thinking. The next second, she suddenly said, "I'll jump! If you promise me not to hurt my daughter, I'll listen to you!"
"It took you long enough. You should have jumped when I told you to! The child is too cute. Why would I hurt her?"
The kidnapper replied, cackling terribly. While the man was still laughing, Eudora jumped forward without warning, and a loud crash was heard.
At the same time, Juju struggled violently. The kidnapper was excited and hurriedly ran out from his hiding place. The next second, a black figure rushed over, snatched the rope from the kidnapper's hand, and held a knife to his throat.
"Don't move!"
The kidnapper was stunned for a moment and then gritted his teeth. "How dare you trick me?"
Eudora did not jump, because she knew that if the kidnapper wanted her dead so badly, he would definitely not let Juju go either. Therefore, there was no way that she could jump to her death.
"I will do anything for my child!"
After that, she was about to take action when the kidnapper suddenly leaned backward, toppling her along. Eudora looked at him in shock, and the kidnapper laughed out loud. "Eudora George, I will do anything to make sure that you die today!"
Then, she could hear strong gusts of howling wind in her ears, and Eudora only realized in horror that she was hovering above the gap, about to fall straight downwards.
The next second, the person in front of her was suddenly kicked away, then a figure jumped out from behind and grabbed her hand.
"Eudora, hold on tight!"
Eudora was shocked to find her body caught in midair.
It was only then she realized that the person was Amos. Half of his body was leaning forward at the edge, and he was about to fall off as well.
"Amos..." "Don't say anything. Hold on tight to me."
The black figure looked at the scene in front of him in shock. There was a mixture of shock and resentment in his eyes.
Immediately, the man turned his head and looked at Juju, who was tied up and crying not far away. Quickly, he rushed over and grabbed Juju by the neck.
"If you want this child to live, let go of that woman!"
Amos was stunned and he suddenly looked up at the black figure. The next second, his eyes darkened, and he snarled in a low voice, "Let her go!"
Suddenly, the kidnapper who was wearing a voicechanging mask, burst out a manic, evil laugh.
"You have to pick between the two of them. If you want that woman, you have to forgo this child."
"No!" Eudora suddenly said, "Amos, let me go."
Amos shook his head, his expression fierce. "No, Eudora!"
"Amos!" When Eudora heard Juju's cry, she immediately made up her mind to sacrifice herself to save her. "Amos, listen to me. Juju means the world to me. You must save her! Let me go!"
"No, Eudora. You can't do this," he growled with blazing eyes of determination.
"Amos, promise me, take good care of Juju..." After saying that, Eudora reached out and started to slowly pry off Amos' fingers one by one, loosening his grasp. Then, she smiled at him sweetly.
In a split second, Harley, who was rushing towards them from behind, ran up and punched the person in black.
