"What are you going to do?"
Seeing the creepy smile on Bruce's face, Anna turned pale with fear.
Bruce took off his undershirt and stood in front of Anna half-naked with a scary smile.
Anna froze. Bruce's current look sent a chill through her.
"Don't... Don’t come over..."
"I'll call my father now and tell him to prepare money! How much do you want? I will promise to give it to you." Anna was so frightened that she exclaimed.
As soon as Bruce heard the word "money", he was stunned.
He had few scruples now, perhaps because he had had alcohol.
He picked up the phone and shook it, saying, "Tell me the number, and I'll dial it."
Bruce still refused to untie Anna's hands and feet. He was worried that Anna would play tricks.
"Okay, I'll tell you the number, and you dial it." Anna hid the flash of wit in her eyes.
Anna gave Bruce a number.
It was not her father's phone number but Liam's.
Bruce did not know whose phone number it was, so he dialed it.
"He turned off the phone!" Bruce got angry.
"What? He turned off?" Anna was also surprised.
Liam actually turned off his phone at that moment!
She was in danger and needed him now, but unfortunately, he actually turned off his phone.
"You don't lie to me, right?" Bruce stared at Anna suspiciously.
"No! Now I am under your control. I do not dare to lie t o you."
Bruce gritted his teeth and said, "I bet you don't dare t o lie! Does your father have any other numbers?"
"No, that is his only number. Oh! I remember that his cell phone can block strangers’ numbers. You can use my phone to call him!"
Bruce narrowed his eyes warily and asked, "Anna, are you playing tricks on me?"
"No, I'm not. Why don't you believe me? If you really don't believe me, how are you going to ask my father for money?"
"Or should we just keep the standoff? How can you get the money if you kidnapped me without informing my father?"
Bruce thought that Anna had a point, but he felt a little weird if he listened to Anna. He was worried that Anna would scheme against him.
"Wait a moment. Let me consider whether to use your phone to call him or not!"
Bruce held the phone and wandered around the small room with a limp.
He was desperate to use Anna to take revenge on Daniel, but he was worried that he was digging his own grave by doing so.
Anyway, Anna has a point. If he hurt Anna, it would be just what Nicole hoped for!
Nicole has long been eager to kill Anna.
If he killed Anna, Nicole would also have the opportunity to kill him.
"I have to think about it..." Bruce muttered.
In the Ackman Group, Liam was sitting in the president's office and seriously staring at the two files in front of him.
One of the files was about James's previous investigation into Anna, and the other was about the investigation into Ethan.
He was comparing the two people's files to see whether there was something in common.
After comparing them for a long time, he didn't find any clues.
Liam was a little distracted, so he put the two files back into the drawer.
He glanced at his watch. It was already past midnight.
He wondered where Anna was now.
Did she keep comforting Nina all night?
He allowed her to take a night’s break, but she did not have the decency to call him.
Liam picked up his cell phone. Only then did he remember that he had already turned off his phone. N o wonder nobody called him tonight.
Since Anna hung up on him, he got angry and turned off the phone in anger.
He hurriedly turned the phone on.
As he expected, there were no missed calls from Anna.
