Chapter 1608

Tommy got even more depressed when she did not pick up the call. It was nothing like last time. Therewas not even a loading page this time.

He sent Luca an audio message. “Ms. Luca, are you busy? I miss you. Please send me a messageafter you're done with your matters."

Tommy put down the tablet after the message showed that it was successfully sent. He walked out ofthe bedroom looking depressed.

The excitement when he knew Luca was his mother a few minutes ago had disappeared all of asudden after she rejected his video call request.

Mr. Griffin saw Tommy and came to him. He asked with concern, "Young Master Tommy, whathappened? Did someone bully you?"

Tommy lifted his head and looked at the butler, complaining, "Mr. Griffin, Ms. Luca isn't picking up mycalls!"

"Ms. Luca?" Mr. Griffin was wondering who Ms. Luca was. Was it Dr. Craw?

"Yes. I sent her a video call request just now. She didn't pick it up. Sob, sob, sob. Does that mean shedoesn't like me anymore?" Tommy rubbed his reddened eyes. Although he was not crying, he lookedlike he could burst into tears anytime with that pitiful look.

The butler immediately comforted him. "How could she not like you? Young Master Tommy, you'reeveryone's favorite. You're handsome and cute. She's probably busy with something important andthat's why she rejected your video call request. It's alright. She'll call you back when she's free."

Tommy blinked his eyes and looked at him. "Is that true?"

"Of course. I never lie." Mr. Griffin cheered him up.

Tommy thought so too. Luca usually cared for him so much. She would never ignore his calls. Shemust be busy with something else, and that was why she could not accept his video call request.

She would call him back when she saw his missed call.

"Then I'll wait for Ms. Luca." Tommy was happy again. He nodded with an innocent look on his face.

The butler nodded his head. He remembered why he came upstairs after cheering up the child. "Oh,Ms. Nancy made some desserts. Hurry up and get some for yourself, Young Master Tommy."

Tommy cheered and ran downstairs immediately once he heard there was something for him to eat.

On the other hand.

Luca watched them take her phone away and rummage through her bag. They said disdainfully,"What? You wear such glamorous clothes but there's nothing valuable in your bag. Are you trying todeceive others?"novelbin

Another man laughed mockingly and threw Luca's bag to the back of the van. “We'll have money oncewe finish this. Do we still need to take money out of her bag?”

"That's true. This woman will be our cash cow." The two men gave each other a fist bump and laughedhysterically.

They thought it would be hard to kidnap Luca, but they did not expect it to be so easy.

A woman who knew how to fight was so easily taken into the car. It was clear that she was prettyunaware of the danger around her.

Luca glanced at them coldly and watched them cheer before they even succeeded. If it was notbecause she was busy thinking about what had happened in the hotel, they would not have had thechance to catch her so easily.

The van stopped after driving for some time.

Luca could hear the vehicle's engine switch off. She knew they had reached their destination.

One of them lifted the curtains to check if they had reached their destination. Then, he took out a dirty-looking blindfold and wrapped it over Luca's head. "Don't let her see the building."

Luca only caught a few glimpses of the scene outside the window the moment he lifted the curtains.

The place was clean, and the plants on the roadside were nicely trimmed. It looked like a fancy place.

The van that was used to kidnap her was luxurious too. The place where she would be kept captivewas fancy too. It seemed like the mastermind behind them was not a simple person.

She had yet to figure out why they wanted to kidnap her.

Luca was held by two men on both sides. One was on her right and one on her left. She wasblindfolded when she got out of the van. She could not see anything, but her ears and nose hadbecome more sensitive.

She could smell the fragrance of lilies in the air. Lilies were planted around this place, and they hadalready bloomed.

She even heard footsteps that did not belong to the two men. It must be the driver.

Luca walked for quite some time. She did not struggle. She knew she would be the one to suffer if shethought of struggling now.

The man who was on her left sneered and said, "Looks like you know what's good for you since you'renot struggling or trying to escape."

Luca could not say anything as a piece of cloth was still stuffed inside her mouth.

The man on her right chimed in, "This is my first time kidnapping such a cooperative woman."

The man on her left made an evil grin. "And she's a beauty too. Do you think we can have some funwith her for a while?"

"Don't even think about it." A stranger's voice came from behind Luca. She reckoned that it was thedriver's voice.

"Boss has told you that you won't receive any money if you dare to touch this woman. You might evenlose your lives." That voice continued to warn them.

Of course, the man on Luca's right knew the consequences of touching her. He sneered and replied,"We can't be bothered to touch this kind of woman either. She has the looks but she's not our cup oftea. Is there any woman we can't get once we have money?"

“Yes, we won't do that. We're just talking big.” The man on the left instantly went along with him.

Luca was brought into a house. She was sure that she had walked into a house. It was because shecould feel the difference in the floor. Moreover, it was already dark outside. She could not sense anylight with the blindfold on her when she was outside.

However, she could catch some streaks of light after walking into the house. It seemed like the housewas brightly lit.

“Leave her here in the house. Untie the rope on her legs, but not the one on her hands. Keep an eyeon her 24/7. Don't even think about getting the money if anything happens. Boss will make sure youpay for it.” The man behind her spoke again.

Luca could feel that she was being pushed onto a bed.

She was unable to sit steadily as she was blindfolded. After she sat down properly, she felt someoneuntying the rope on her legs. The other man grabbed something cold and put it on her legs.

They were cuffs!

Luca could feel them...

The moment the rope was untied, her legs were cuffed.

"What are you doing?” the man who ordered them asked.

"Didn't you tell us that the woman is good at kicking? Of course, we can't be that careless. She canwalk around in the room with the leg cuffs on, but she won't be able to kick. She won't be able toescape either." The man pointed at the iron balls chained to the leg cuffs.

She could manage to walk with the iron balls chained to the leg cuffs. However, she could not lift herleg and kick to attack someone.
