Daisie stopped. “Are they dangerous?”
“Don‘t worry. I won‘t let myself get into trouble. All you need to do is to wait for my return.”
Daisie took a deep breath. “Nollace , you have to promise me that you‘ll come back in one piece.”
He responded with a light hum. “You have my word.”
After finishing the call, Daisie pressed her phone against her heart. Ever since the moment she heard
Nollace‘s voice, her restless heart finally calmed down.
“Daisie!” Freyja walked toward her.
Daisie turned around and asked with a smile, “Why are you so slow?”
Freyja sorted out the content of her backpack.
“I forgot to bring my laptop along, so I went back to grab it.” She thought of something, lifted her head
abruptly, and stared at Daisie.
“Why are you suddenly in such a good mood?”
Just as Daisie was about to say something, Nollace‘s request flashed across her mind, so she scratched
her head and explained casually, “I saw the news saying that the tables have turned for Zenovia, so I‘m
happy.”
She nodded. “Then congratulations to you and the Goldmanns. You‘ve finally been proven innocent.”
She then paused for a few seconds and said, “By the way, don‘t worry too much about Nollace. I believe
that he‘ll be fine.”
Daisie smiled brightly and answered without any hesitation,” Yes, I believe in that too.”
Freyja did not know how to respond.
On the fifth day of Nollace‘s disappearance, Xavi received a mysterious email on his laptop.
In the video, a man whose head was covered with a hood and whose hands were tied up was wearing
the same clothes Nollace wore the other night when he came to see him.
The man standing beside him was wearing a mask of a monkey and body armor, had a gun in his hand,
and wore a voice changer on his collar.
“Mr. Livingston, I believe you should‘ve received this video if you‘re watching this. Now let‘s talk
business. If this young master of the Knowles were to be unfortunate enough to die in Haniston, it must
be very detrimental to you and the Livingstons, mustn‘t it?”
“But don‘t worry, I don‘t hold any grudges against the Livingstons. The person I want to be ruined is your
brother, Juneau Livingston. You should know very well what he‘s done. I want you to announce all his
crimes to the public. And remember, I want to see the announcement by noon tomorrow, or else...”
The man pointed the gun at Nollace‘s head. “I‘ll put a bullet through his brain. As long as this young man
dies, you Livingstons won‘t be able to get away with this.”
The camera blacked out instantly.
When Xavi finished watching this video, his back was drenched in a cold sweat.
At that moment, his cell phone rang, and it was a call from his father. He picked up the call.
“Father.”
Elder Master Livingston‘s tone sounded furious.
“Xavi, what the hell is going on with that video?”
Xavi was astounded and stood up immediately.
“You‘ve received it too?”
Elder Master Livingston snorted.
“No matter what, you must handle this matter well. After all, it‘s related to your brother‘s reputation. Your
brother will be repatriated back to Haniston tomorrow. So, get this issue resolved as soon as possible,
and don‘t let that b*stard get what he wants.”
“Father, what do you mean by that?” Xavi was startled.
“What do I mean? You should understand what I mean best. Xavi, how can we, the Livingstons, be
threatened by some unknown thugs?”
Elder Master Livingston added solemnly, “The kidnappers might‘ve captured the young master of the
Knowles, but it has nothing to do with the Livingstons. Even if he were to die here in Haniston,
Yaramoor‘s royal family would have no evidence to push all the blame onto us. What you have to do now
is to protect your brother‘s reputation and leave those lowlives to the police.
“Even if something happens in the end, it‘s the police‘s problem to handle as they can‘t save the young
man in time. Do you understand me?”
The call ended abruptly.
The secretary walked to the door, heard a huge commotion coming from inside the office, and hurriedly
opened the door.” Mr. Livingston!”
