Chapter 68 Why Are They Here?

At that second, a ruthless look crept into Jenny’s eyes. She clutched her penknife tightly when Pip

walked toward her. Once he was close enough, she could strike him down.

Her plan was interrupted when Drew, who was keeping guard at the door, shouted, “Gus! There are

cars.” Before Gus and Pip could react, a red sports car crashed through the warehouse, followed by a

black Rolls -Royce Phantom. Max and Alec emerged from their respective cars with murderous looks in

their

eyes, scanning the three men in front of them.

“Who are you?” Gus beckoned to Pip and Drew as he placed a knife on Jenny’s neck, holding her

hostage. He glared warily at the two intruders.

Speechless, Jenny thought, “Why are they here?” She could have ambushed the three men, but with a

knife on her neck, she lost the chance to make a move.

Max stared at the men, amused. “Of all people, you chose to assault my dear Jenny. Do you want to go

to hell?”

“Free her,” Alec demanded calmly, but he was burning with anger inside.

The three men knew that Max and Alec were here for Jenny. So, Gus pressed the blade harder against

her neck to threaten the two. “Gentlemen, we are after money, not her life.”

“How much do you want? Give me a number.” Money was no object to Alec. The abductors exchanged

glances once they realized that Alec must be loaded. Greed got the better of them. If they could extort a

sizeable amount from him, they could live their lives free of worry. Since an offer had been made, they

might as well take the money and free her.

“How about this? Since the client paid us three million, we will release her if you could offer six million,”

Gus suggested.

Six million?

Alec’s face darkened upon hearing the number. Considering Jenny’s background, she was definitely

worth more than six million. The three men were too ignorant.

“Sure.” He nodded. Jenny was dumbfounded by his generous gesture and declared, “Alec, you don’t

have to save me. Just go.” Without Max and Alec’s interruption, she would have already defeated the

three

men.

“Dr. Walter!” Her stubbornness enraged him. “You’re still sidelining me, even now?”

At this critical moment, he was flabbergasted by her lack of urgency in the face of the abductors.

Ignoring her, he asked for an account number from Gus and transferred six million to them on the spot. ”

The money’s transferred. Let her go.”

“Okay. But we need to be sure that we’re safe before we can let her go.” Then, the three men dragged

her out, with Max and Alec trailing closely behind. In comparison, Max seemed calmer than Alec. He

admired Jenny, but that was all. He was more interested in observing Alec’s response than saving her.

Suddenly, Alec whispered in his ear, “I’ll count from three, and we’ll take them down.”

Max, looking unbothered, didn’t reply.

“The project in eastside is yours,” Alec whispered again.

Finally, Max cracked a wide smile. “Deal.” Max thought it was a worthwhile rescue attempt-bagging a

deal and saving Jenny.

“Three, two…” Alec and Max were prepared to strike, but their jaws dropped to the floor as they watched

Jenny in action. Fast and agile, she had the men groaning on the floor in a few seconds. Max and Alec

gaped at her skill.
