Chapter 51: Desperate Measures–2

But Connor’s brow creased sharply as he joined us. His ice–blue eyes had darkened

with suspicion.

“My father’s already reviewing the security tapes,” I added anxiously. “Let’s split up

and search, and send more people to help.”

Suddenly, a collective gasp rippled through the crowd. Everyone’s heads whipped toward the giant electronic screen that dominated one wall of the hall.

Originally set to show engagement videos and photos of Connor and me, it now displayed a horrifying sight: Grace tied to a chair, screaming and sobbing helplessly.

“Daddy, Mommy, Sister, where are you?” she waited, her little face contorted with terror. “Wuu wuu, I want Mommy! Bad uncles took me, please save me!”

Natalie’s legs buckled beneath her, eyes rolling back as she nearly fainted. I rushed to steady her, my own heart pounding with fear

Natalie sobbed uncontrollably against my shoulder. “Olivia… what do we do… If Grace

dies, I don’t want to live either…”

Despair and disbelief rippled through the gathered crowd. Murmurs of shock and horror filled the air as everyone stared at the screen in disbelief.

Katherine’s composed facade cracked slightly. “How could this happen? Everyone here is a trusted guest. How could someone kidnap Grace?”

Connor’s face darkened to a dangerous shade. “It was Vanessa. She just called me.”

The words hit me like a physical blow. “Vanessa?” I gasped, shock coursing through

1. me.

My mind raced with implications. “Where is she? She’s coming after me! We must

find her now! Let me talk to her!”

As Connor took out his phone to call, the hall speakers suddenly crackled to life.

Vanessa’s voice, cold and clear, filled the space:

“Olivia Winters, if you want your sister alive, come to the rooftop.”

I froze for half a heartbeat, the words sinking in. Then panic propelled me forward as I

bolted for the elevators.

Connor swiftly caught up and gripped my arm tightly. “Liv, don’t go. It’s dangerous!”

Tears trembled on my lashes as I turned to face him. “I have to! Vanessa is targeting me. If I don’t go, Grace will be hurt. I can’t risk my sister’s life.”

“First, we alert the police,” Connor insisted, his voice calm but forceful.

I struggled against his grip. “You call them, but don’t stop me! Every second I delay,

Grace’s danger grows. She’s innocent–she’s only targeted because of me. I won’t

watch her die because of me!”

My desperation cracked my voice as I fought fiercely to break free.

Connor’s grip tightened, his tone rising. “And you think risking your own life is

acceptable?”

Just then, Frank Langley rushed over breathlessly. His normally composed face was flushed with urgency.

“Mr. Rivers, we’ve located Vanessa Reed and Grace Winters. They’re on the rooftop

along with two unknown men.”

“Only three people?” Connor’s eyes narrowed, wary of a trap.

“Yes, sir. Police are already on their way,” Frank confirmed with a quick nod.

Connor’s mind visibly raced as he issued swift orders. “Mobilize all our security to the

rooftop.”

He turned to me, his ice–blue eyes intense. “Liv, you must stay calm. Vanessa wants

My hands shook violently, terror flooding through me. “I…”
