was too angry to think clearly, and now it was too late.
Katherine had already been captured, and they needed a foolproof plan. Otherwise, they might find themselves helpless when they arrive or even fall into Dale’s trap.
“Dale has already put everything on the line!”
Louis said, worried. “We should try to stall him He’s just after the money, but I’m concerned that Owen might secretly tip off Dale
Matthew frowned. “I haven’t stopped working on the hacker angle. I’m creating some distractions for him so that he’ll be too busy to focus on us. We need to stay calm and steady
Valerie nodded. “We can’t afford to lose our heads now.
However, Matthew was also concerned that Owen might have powerful allies backing him.
A few years ago, Owen used the excuse of searching for his niece, Sarah, to travel the world. People said Owen was deeply concerned about her, and despite her being missing for years, he never gave up.
But Matthew knew this was just a cover. He suspected that Sarah’s disappearance might have been orchestrated by Owen himself.

Vivian coordinated with various auction houses and pawnshops, sending Dale pawn receipts to show her seriousness. She even mentioned selling her favorite jewelry, and had barely managed to raise 20 million dollars, urging him not to worry.
Dale was suspicious but let his guard down, thinking he was safe because he was overseas.
Seeing that the Santos family was indeed taking action, Dale sneered. He glanced at Katherine, who was curled up in a corner, and walked over to grab her chin.
“Seel The Santos farmily is really raising money for you! I heard your brother even sold his company, Katherine, I did not realize you were worth so
“So what if you are their precious daughter! You may n
not like me, but in the end, you will still have to gravel before mel”
“Say something nice, and I might even let you love a decent meal. How about that?”
Katherine looked at him with disdain. “Dale, be a decent human being! What else do you have besides money?”
ants to crush now! You will never achieve
“What happened to your dreams! Himph, I bet you are nothing more than a cockroach that everyone wants to anything in your life. Take your money and get lost as far away as you can!”
“Oh, I forgot. Besides money, you will need a rich, pretty woman to keep you afloat. Is that not your specialty?”
“Everyone says
s you are an award–winning actor. I guess you have even convinced you
yourself with your act!”“
Dale was enraged but managed a cold smile. “So what Even if I am not what they say, what can you do about it still thinking about that fruit seller?

How pathetic Katherine, you will never find true love in this life”
“You are just a burden to your family. No one has ever really cared about you!”
But Katherine only gave him a withering look before turning away, ignoring him. This infuriated Dale even more, making him feel like he was punching a wall
But then, thinking about it, he realized he did not care anymore. Once he got the money, he could have any woman he wanted Why should he
He was not taking any chances, though. He was secretly planning to kill her, even going as far as setting up a gasoline trap. As soon as he got the money, he would make sure Katherine disappeared without a tracel
The thought made Dale sneer again. Katherine trembled at the sight of his cold smile and quickly looked away.
Her fear only fueled Dale’s anger, He clenched his fists, unable to release his frustration Finally, he snarled and shoved Katherine into a small, dark room, “Stay in there!”
Dale turned and left, locking the door behind him. Alone in the darkness, Katherine could no longer hold back her tears. She knew how dire her situation was, but there was nothing she could do except endure:
Days passed, and after three days, Dale’s patience ran out. Despite Vivian’s daily updates, they had only managed to raise five hundred million dollars.
