My Love, Enlighten me

Chapter 88 Came Alone

Gloria Taylor’s remark was a bit harsh.

But, this was what she thought in her heart. Tina Walker lived a life of a rich wife in the Taylor family. Compared to other rich wives, her life was pretty good.

Tina Walker would arrange foods and clothes for the family.

50 million was not a small sum, but Loren Taylor could certainly get it.

However, Loren Taylor was not always willing.

Anne Taylor was obviously pissed off, but she held it and said, “If we have money, we can take the 50 million, but now the problem is that we don’t have money!”

“Raise money if you don’t have it.” Gloria Taylor was too lazy to argue with Anne Taylor again. She turned to Loren Taylor and shouted, “Dad!”

Loren Taylor frowned, “That’s true. I have to raise 50 million, but we only have two hours left. Where can we raise that amount of money?!”

Gloria Taylor was only fooling around. She didn’t expect Loren Taylor was really willing to raise money.

“Raise as much as you can.” Gloria Taylor bowed her heads and opened the phone book on her phone.

She sort of realized that other than Edith Hall, she really had no other friends.

Loren Taylor took his phone and started making phone calls.

Gloria Taylor stepped aside and called Edith Hall.

Edith Hall quickly answered the phone, “What’s the matter? Have you eaten yet?”

Gloria Taylor sipped her lips, “Edith, I need to borrow money from you.”

“Okay. How much?” Edith Hall had always been generous to her. As long as she asked, Edith Hall would certainly lend it to her.

After all, it was a matter of great importance. Gloria Taylor asked, “How much do you have?”

“I have around 34 million, I think? I don’t know for sure. Wait, let me check.” Edith Hall checked her deposit.

Halfway through, she suddenly realized that something was off. She asked aloud, “Why do you want to borrow that much money? What happened?” NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

“My mother was kidnapped and we need 50 million as a ransom.”

“You should call the police!”

“We have to pay them first.” Gloria Taylor was worried about Tina Walker’s safety. The kidnappers might kill her.

Edith Hall actually wanted to tell Gloria Taylor to just let her heartless mother die.

However, she knew too much about her best friend. If Gloria Taylor didn’t know about this matter, then she could just shrugged it off, but once she knew, she would help until the end.

“Alright. I’ll transfer you the money.”

“Thank you.”

Anne Taylor and Loren Taylor had been watching her all along.

When Gloria Taylor said that she had to pay the kidnappers first, Anne Taylor smiled proudly.

She walked approaching Loren Taylor, “I knew Gloria won’t ignore mom.”

He nodded. They tacitly smiled.

They were running out of time. They had raised 6 million. It was a far cry from 50 million.

Gloria Taylor walked back and forth anxiously.

Suddenly, Anne Taylor called her out, “Gloria, I remember you have the black card of the Clarke family!”

Gloria Taylor glared at her.

Anne Taylor added, “This is a matter of life and death. Mom’s safety depends on you! We have done our best!”

Gloria Taylor was so anxious that she forgot she had the black card.

“I’ll be right back!” Gloria Taylor didn’t think much about it. The most important thing was to save Tina Walker.

Loren Taylor said, “We will take you back home. We will go the appointed place after that.”

The two hours deadline was approaching. She had no option but to agree with his proposal.

Soon, the arrived at Kenny Clarke’s villa.

Kenny Clarke and Leon Clarke had not come back yet. She took the black card and went out.

As she walked along, she took her phone and called the police.

After she received a call from the kidnappers, she was too nervous that she forgot to file a report to the police.

Anne Taylor saw her on the phone and asked nervously, “Who are you calling? Does the kidnappers call you?”

“I call the police to file a case.”

She couldn’t let the kidnappers take 50 million so conveniently.

Tina Walker was to be rescued. The money was not to be so cheap.

Anne Taylor was surprised when she learned that Gloria Taylor was calling the police. She hurriedly said, “Let’s not call the police now. We have to give them the money first. Mom must have seen the kidnappers. We can call the police later.”

“No. I have to call the police first.”

Seeing her firm attitude, Anne Taylor grabbed her phone and hung it up. She retorted, “Why are you rushing to call the police? Do you want to harm your mother? What if the kidnappers know? What if they kill her? Are you doing this because she treats me better than she treats you? You don’t have to hurt her like this! No matter what, she is the mother who gives birth and raise you!”

Anne Taylor was so proud of her own words. It was convincing.

“Shut up!” it was true what she said, but it was hard for Gloria Taylor to accept it.

No matter what, Tina Walker was her mother.

The kidnappers called again.

They gave an address and said, “You should come alone. If you bring any police or other people, I will kill this woman!”

She put the phone on loudspeakers. Loren Taylor and Anne Taylor also heard the kidnappers.

Suddenly, a strange feeling emerged in her heart.

She felt that the kidnappers came at her since the beginning. They never mentioned Loren Taylor.

Did they kidnap a housewife because they thought that she was rich?

This made sense, but the behavior of the kidnappers were off.

She asked, “Why you need to go alone?”

“Because it’s not safe.” Loren Taylor said, “You drive Anne’s car and we will follow you.”

Loren Taylor and Anne Taylor seemed very enthusiastic in rescuing Tina Walker.

Gloria Taylor was surprised, but she put her doubt aside. After all, they were the ones living with Tina Walker for more than 20 years.

Loren Taylor asked Gloria Taylor, “Can you drive?”

Gloria Taylor smiled mockingly, “Of course.

During her four years in college, she financed herself by taking scriptwriting jobs. Sometimes, she earned a good money and some other time, she earned less. Apart from tuition and living expenses, she saved money for driving license.

The address given by the kidnappers was an abandoned garage in the suburb. She was not familiar with the place.

After navigating there, she typed a short message and sent it to Edith Hall who was helping her called the police.

She had to rush there now and it was very likely that the kidnappers would be watching her from the road. So, she could only asked for Edith Hall to help her call the police.

After she successfully sent the message, Gloria Taylor deleted it.
