Chapter 248 

Maeve said, “We’ll give you the money. Let her go, and we won’t pursue this or call the police.” 

“Are you serious?” “The man seemed to be gauging t 

ng the truth of her words. 

“Of course,” Maeve replied. “You’ve kidnapped Ms. Hoffman because you wanted money, right? Now that you’ll have the money, what’s the point of kidnapping me?” 

Maeve’s face showed no signs of panic. Instead, the man felt an invisible pressure emanating from her, making it hard for him to breathe. 

“Here’s the one–million–dollar check.” Sergio took out the check. The man’s eyes were fixed on it as he quickly moved forward and grabbed the check. Then, he ran off without a word. 

Neither Marve nor Sergio had any intention of chasing him. This kidnapping felt more like a child’s play. 

Sergio’s gaze fell on Maeve’s neck. The man’s nervousness had caused the knife to leave a slight cut on her skin.

Maeve walked straight to the workshop and opened a metal box. Inside, she found Cecilia bound up, looking panicked and pitiful. Maeve peeled the tape off Cecilia’s mouth. 

Cecilia was momentarily stunned. She hadn’t expected Maeve to rescue her. 

Sergio had already approached them, and Cecilia immediately threw herself into his arms. She cried and said, “Sergio, you’re finally here… 1 thought I’d never see you again.”

Larry had already arrived. Without even glancing at Cecilia, Sergio said to Larry, “Take her back.” 

“Yes, Mr. Brooks.” Larry also cast a long look at Cecilia. 

Cecilia was still confused about what had happened. She only felt Sergio’s attitude toward her growing colder. Maeve found Cecilia’s frequent backward glances amusing. 

It seemed that she had overestimated Cecilia. She had thought that Cecilia would be formidable, but she turned out to be even more naïve 

than Clara 

Coming up with such a childish kidnapping scheme was indeed very immature. 

Sergio’s gaze fell on Maeve’s neck again. “I’ll treat your wound when we get back.” 

“It’s just a small cut,” Maeve replied.
