Chasing The Fierce Heiress

One hundred thousand dollars was a small sum for Heather.

However, it was definitely a large sum to Leila.

Heather had thought Leila would borrow a few thousand dollars for her living expenses, but now she was asking for 100, 000 dollars. Something must have happened to her.

“Has something happened to you?” Heather asked in puzzlement, frowning, and said with embarrassment, “No.”

“I…” Leila hesitated for a moment, sighed, Heather raised her eyebrows in surprise.

She was now certain that something that Leila didn’t want to tell her had happened to Leila.

“Leila, if anything happens to you, you have to tell me so that I can know how to help you,” Heather said in an earnest tone.

Of course, she was willing to give Leila money to tide her over, but she was afraid that Leila wouldn’t be able to solve the problem even if she did give her the money.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

She finally began to sob on the other end of the phone. “It’s all my boyfriend’s fault! My boyfriend Mark said he was going to buy me a pair of diamond earrings. He didn’t even ask the price before he picked up an earring and put it on my ear, but he didn’t hold it steadily, and it fell and was broken.

The shopkeeper said the pair of earrings was worth 100, 000 dollars. Now he won’t let us go unless we pay for them.”

Heather understood instantly. No wonder Leila hadn’t been willing to tell her why. Her boyfriend broke an earring and got 100, 000 dollars in debt. Plus, her boyfriend was in debt for her, and she certainly wouldn’t keep out of the incident.

“Where’s the store?” said Heather. “I’ll come and see you.”

Although they had broken a pair of earrings that cost 100, 000 dollars, Heather, who had knowledge of diamonds, was sure that she could force the price down if she went there.

Leila gave the address. “It’s at the end of May Street…”

Heather was somewhat surprised. “Isn’t

May Street quite old and deserted? There’s actually a jewelry store? And how did you get there?”

Leila explained ruefully, “We were introduced by one of my boyfriend’s friends who guaranteed the jewelry in the store was cheap and real, but who expected that this kind of thing would happen to us after we came here…”

“Okay,” Heather, who understood, whispered. “I’ll be there now. You wait for me for a moment.”

When she drove down May Street and looked at the old Street, somehow Heather didn’t feel quite right.

She took out her phone and sent her location to Alexander. Then she sent a text to him: “I’ll pick up my roommate and call you in 10 minutes.”

After texting, she put away her phone and walked into the humble jewelry store at the end of the street.

This jewelry store was not only humble but also very dim.

There was only one red-haired youth looking after the store.

Heather frowned. She went to the counter.

“Hello, I’m looking for Leila Gray.”

“Are you here to take her away?” The young man looked at her and led her to a little door in the back.

He pushed the door open. “Come in!”

Heather went in, but her expression changed slightly despite herself.

Leila and her boyfriend were sitting in the innermost chair. They were guarded by several burly men with cudgels.

Things were not what she had expected. So there was really something wrong with the broken earrings.

“Who is in charge?” Heather asked. “Me,” a thin man who looked like a monkey said and came up to Heather with a shrewd twinkle in his eyes.

“I’ll give you the money now, and you’re going to let them go,” she said in an indifferent air. “Give me your bank account number, and I’ll transfer 100, 000 dollars to your account.”

“100, 000?” his face was full of sarcasm as he said, “Now the price is going up. 200, 000 dollars!”

“Okay,” she didn’t blink before she agreed.

“Your bank account number.”

He was dumbstruck.

He hadn’t expected Heather to agree so readily.

“I’ve gone back on my word! Two million dollars!” his eyes sparkled with greed.

“You, you have gone too far!” Leila was very angry. She had never expected it would come to this! These people actually charged exorbitant prices like this! “Give me your account number,” Heather said again. In her opinion, any problem that could be solved with money wasn’t a problem. The light in the skin man’s greedy eyes was even more brilliant!

He was dying to change his mind as he could get two million dollars in the blink of an eye like that, but….

Heather’s face sank slightly as she saw his hesitation.

She could now be sure that these people weren’t doing this for money. The broken earring was only a trap. The only person they really wanted was likely her!

Heather looked calmly into the room.

There were six men in the room, each armed. If she were alone, she would have no problem escaping, but it would be impossible for her to get Leila and her boyfriend unharmed.

“No, I want to go back on my word again.” It seemed that the skin man had made up his mind, his eyes sinister. “I know the nature of such rich people like you. Even if you transfer the money to me, you’ll soon have my account frozen and find some excuse to have me arrested. I’m not that stupid! I’ll kidnap you for cash!”

“Alright then, you can arrange for someone to come with me to get the money,” said Heather in a deep tone.

“Oh, beauty, do you think we’ll give you a chance to escape and call the police?” he suddenly took out a knife and placed it directly on Leila’s neck, and shouted, “Give me your phone!”

Leila’s face turned pale. Heather turned dark as she took out her phone and handed it to the man next to her.

“All right, great, you two can go and tie her up!” the skinned man ordered two of his subordinates.

Heather hesitated for a moment and finally gave up struggling. It was clear that these people had been well prepared. They threatened her with Leila. She couldn’t risk it.

With the coarse rope tied behind her, Heather was suddenly in a daze.

Why did she feel… that the feeling was familiar? For some reason, she remembered being kidnapped when she was a child. She also remembered that at that time, she seemed to have a little brother beside her….

“Alex!”

A familiar voice suddenly sounded in her

mind. Heather was instantly shocked. Why did she suddenly think of Alexander?

“It’s a kidnapping!” Leila screamed. She was so anxious that she almost cried.

She hadn’t expected that it would hurt Heather when she called her here.

The thin man said with a touch of sarcasm, “Beauty, of course, this is kidnapping! If we don’t kidnap you, how can we get the cash?”

Before Heather could come to her senses, he had already commanded his subordinates to put a sack on her.

“Take them and go!” he said in a deep tone. “She’s from a rich family. Someone might come looking for her in a minute. Let’s take her somewhere else and hide her!”

His subordinates pushed Heather and forced her into a car in front of the door.
