With that, she left in a hurry while talking on the phone.

"Thanks for your kindness, Mr. Barnes. | don’t need any help right now."

At the same time, Caleb also received a text.He was in the middle of a shoot for a magazine cover. As soon as he finished reading the text, he stopped the shoot.
He dialed Lydia's number, but the call wouldn't connect. When his manager saw him in this state, he quickly asked, "Caleb,what's the matter? Did something happen?"
Caleb grabbed his jacket. He didn't even have time to change out of the clothes he was wearing for the photoshoot.
All he said was, "There's something | need to take care of." Then, he left the set in a hurry.

"Something must have happened for you to request such a huge sum of money. | had to ask Mr. Ziegler to find out whathappened. Were you able to find out who the kidnappers are?"
Grace shook her head. "| don't know! Lydia leads a very normal life. She wouldn't make enemies so easily.""Then, who are the perpetrators? Why would they suddenly kidnap her?"
Grace frowned. "I don't know yet. But no matter what, we have to rescue Lydia first."
“Okay. When we get the cash, I'll go alone. You shouldn't go."
"No. Lydia has been my best friend for years. Moreover, she's practically family to me now. | have to see her safe and sound withmy own eyes.”
Xander grabbed her hand. He said in a sincere tone, "Listen to me. Just stay home and wait for my call. I'll make sure she comesback safely."
"But—"
Grace wanted to argue, but Xander interrupted her. "Listen to me."
"Gracie, the kidnappers are calling." Emily ran over and handed the phone to Grace.
At the side, Xander also took out his own phone. "Try to keep the call going for as long as you can. I'll trace their location."
