He then placed a call to Matthew.
Matthew picked up at the first ring. “What’s up?”
“Are you at the hotel yet?” Neville asked.
“I just arrived, not quite long.” After a short pause, Matthew asked, “Why haven’t you arrived?”
“The driver is stuck on the expressway. He’ll be at the airport in a while. Please help me explain the situation to them. I’ll be there as soon as I can,” Neville said calmly.
His phone rang again. He Looked, and he saw that it was an unknown number .
“There’s another call coming in. I have to take it,” he said before ending the call with Matthew and picking up the other one.
A mechanical voice came through, saying, “Hello, Neville Pierce?”
Neville frowned at this unknown person calling his name. However, before he could say anything, he heard a shrill cry from the other end of the phone.
The frown on Neville’s face became a look of horror as he recognized Miley’s voice.
Neville immediately broke out in a cold sweat. “Who are you? What do you want?”
The voice on the other end said, “I have Miley. I need the sum of ten million dollars sent to me immediately. Otherwise, she dies.”

“What have you done to her?” Neville roared at the person on the other end of the phone.
The man ignored his question and said, “The police are not to be involved. If they are, she dies.”
Neville took a deep breath before saying, “Send me your account number.”
“Hold on.”

The call was then ended. Within a minute, an account number was sent to Neville with a text saying, “Transfer the money to this account.”
Miley’s eyes slowly opened. It was dark, and it was raining.
She soon saw that her hands were bound. She struggled to get free but couldn’t.
The door to the room she was in was pushed open, and Roy came in.
He looked a bit taken aback to see Miley awake. When he noticed her struggling against the rope, he smirked and said, “Save your strength.
You’re not getting free.”
“Roy? What the hell are you doing?” Miley asked angrily. She shivered as a gust of wind blew in.
She still had on last night’s thin clothing, which didn’t do much against the cold.
