Chapter 19 Daniel Chose Power
Daniel drove alone to the agreed location.
He got out of the car and dragged cash of 20 million dollars to the warehouse, demanding the release of the hostage.
The scar on the face of the gang leader, the thin monster, made him look quite intimidating. He took some cash and checked the authenticity of the money and. Once confirmed, his eyes lit up.
"Mr. Campbell is really rich and generous."
"If you did it earlier, Ms. Clark wouldn't have had to suffer."
With a signal from him, his men immediately released Eloise.
She gained her freedom and immediately threw herself into Daniel's arms, crying, "Daniel, why did you take so long? My leg seems to be broken... It hurts... They even said they would rape me if you didn't come..."
Daniel held her and comforted her.
But his eyes were fixed on Madelyn.
Madelyn struggled desperately, but her mouth was stuffed with rags, so she couldn't say a word.
She knew Daniel well. Sacrificing her for power was nothing to him!
From beginning, Daniel didn't say a word.
He watched Madelyn struggle and slowly despair...
The thin monkey smirked and lightly picked up Madelyn's chin with a knife. "Mr. Campbell, this girl is so pretty, so she's worth at least 2 million. You're rich, just take her. Otherwise, this girl will be ours."
Daniel could afford 2 million.
But he couldn't afford to take the risk.
Benjamin already suspected him, and he couldn't risk Eloise suspecting his relationship with Madelyn. If Eloise found out and broke off their engagement, his years of hard work would be ruined.
Between power and women, Daniel chose power.
He didn't dare to look at Madelyn's hateful eyes, he turned his back and spoke in a cold tone, "I don't know her!"
Madelyn had already guessed the outcome, and her eyes were empty.
Tears rolled down from the corner of her eyes...
Daniel was really ruthless!
Daniel acted as if he didn't see and walked towards the car with Eloise in his arms.
Eloise gently pulled him and whispered, "Is this really a good idea? What if she gets raped? David will be heartbroken."
