In the Lap of Luxury

Chapter 594 Collect Her Corpse

"Director Walker, I don't know about anything else, but I'm sure Amirate's account isn't short of money tonight."

As Xander said that, he casually rolled up his sleeves, pulling them to his elbows.

Samuel shrank back. "Indeed, we're not short of money, but such a large sum requires a unanimous decision from the board. It's impossible to gather everyone in half an hour."

He showed no concern for Grace.

Ignoring Samuel, Xander turned to Luke, who had just walked into the conference room.

"Withdraw the police report and give me Amirate's company stamp. I'll bear the responsibility for this money. If something goes wrong, Futurelink will pay double in compensation."

Luke was surprised to hear that. He glanced at the laptop on the ground and immediately understood that Grace was probably in great danger.

He only hesitated for a few seconds. "I'll get it right away."

The company stamp had legal implications, and this could be considered illegal. However, in this situation, there was no time to consider such details.

Moreover, Xander had grown up with the members of the Lewis family, so entrusting the company stamp to him would surely be a safe choice.

Luke hurriedly fetched it. When he returned, Xander had just finished a call in time to receive the stamp. He was about to stamp it when Samuel grabbed him. "No, this is Amirate's money. You can't touch it!"

Xander gave him a sharp look. "Your president is the one who's in danger!"

"If two billion dollars are gone just like that, Ms. Lewis will be upset when she finds out." Samuel continued to stop them.

Luke stepped forward to restrain him. "I'm sorry, Director Walker. Please don't get involved at this critical moment."

"Luke, you're double-crossing us! Let go of me!"

Suddenly, Samuel was pressed against the conference table.

Xander stared down at him. "If something happens to Grace, I don't need to take action. The Lewis family will be the first to hold you accountable. Think carefully, Director Walker." This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

Samuel watched helplessly as the company stamp fell on the paper.

After stamping the document, Xander opened a laptop and video called the number the kidnappers had sent.

The kidnappers answered quickly. The camera was aimed at Grace, who was on the ground. She had lost strength and couldn't speak.

Xander immediately clenched his fists.

"So have you considered it? Do you want her or money?"

Xander's voice was hoarse. "Her."

Hearing the familiar voice, Grace regained some consciousness. She looked at the camera. "Xander …"

Brodie immediately kicked her with his foot, and she groaned.

"Don't hurt her!" Xander shouted in horror.

"If you want money, I can give it to you. I've stamped this two-billion-dollar bill. I can transfer it at any time. You just need to tell me where you are, and I'll transfer the money immediately."

"You're negotiating conditions?" Brodie sneered. "How do I know it's not a trick?"

"After you tell me the address, I'll transfer the money in real time. You can leave immediately. I guarantee the police won't find you."

At his words, Brodie hesitated for a moment.

Xander urged. "I only want her."

Brodie clicked his tongue. "Fine."

After that, he quickly typed an address and sent it to Xander. It turned out to be the Eastwood construction site.

Xander copied the address and sent it to Peter. "Get ready."

Holding a dagger, Brodie approached Grace. "Transfer the money, or I'll kill her."

Xander narrowed his eyes and looked at the staff member next to him. "Transfer it!"

The staff member typed on the keyboard. "It's been transferred."

"It's already done. Aren't you leaving?"

Hearing that, Brodie laughed loudly. He brought the dagger closer and lightly slashed Grace's neck.

"Mr. Fulton, I'm an honest person. You give me money, and I give her back to you. The address is real. You can come to collect her corpse."

After saying that, he raised the dagger toward Grace, right in front of Xander. At the critical juncture, someone suddenly flew in and kicked him aside.
