"You're teasing me, Mr. Barnes. Let's get back to business." Albert nodded, and both of them dove into the topic.

Meanwhile, because of the necklace incident with Kayla, Lydia was busy drafting snew designs. After pulling an all-nighter, she finally cup with a design that she was satisfied with.

She found it strange.

People rarely showed up on her doorstep. Who could be there so early in the morning? As she walked out of the study, she called out, "Who is it?" There was no answer.

She opened the doorbell camera, but she didn't see anyone standing at the door. Just as she turned around to leave, someone rang the doorbell again.

This time, a man's voice sounded out of the blue. "We're here to check the water meter. Please open the door." Lydia didn't think too much of it and opened the door. However, in the next second, a few buff men barged in, giving her a fright.

"Who are you? What are you doing?" A man compared her face to a photo he had. "Are you Lydia York?" he asked.

Lydia turned to flee, but the man saw right through her. He moved quickly and stopped her.

"Trying to get away? You're in my hands now. Where do you think you can go?" "What are you doing? Don't cnear me! Get lost! Don't touch me!" Despite Lydia's struggles, the men grabbed her and held a cloth over her mouth. A moment later, she lost consciousness.

"Mr. Barnes, we'll be leaving the launch of our new products this season to Barnes Group.

"When the tcomes, the three companies will attend the launch together. I'm looking forward to achieving a new record high in sales this season." "Don't worry, Ms. Lewis! You can rest assured and leave this in our hands." As soon as Albert finished speaking, Grace's phone rang out of the blue. "Sorry, Mr. Barnes. Lettake this call." She got up and walked over to the window. "What's the matter, Emily?" "Gracie, something happened to Lydia." "What? Telleverything." "She might have been kidnapped." "Kidnapped?" Grace's voice was filled with anxiety. "What happened?" "I just received a strange text. It says that if | want Lydia back alive, | have to prepare 50 million dollars in cash and deliver it to the garage behind Ocean Park. Otherwise, they'll kill her." "Have you tried to get in touch with Lydia?" "I have, but | couldn't contact her. At first, | thought it was a prank, but no matter how much | tried, | couldn't get in touch with her.

Her phone is off.

"Besides, Lydia doesn't have many relatives in Pamore. The only people who can contact her are you and I. Gracie, what should we do about this?" "Don't panic. The perpetrators are clearly after the money. Since they haven't gotten the money yet, Lydia should be safe," Grace said, comforting Emily.

Her mind raced as she tried to cup with a plan. "Leave the money issue to me. I'll call the bank right away. Wait for my call." With that, she turned around to leave.

Albert noticed how worried Grace looked. He asked with concern, "Ms. Lewis, did something happen?"
