Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia) novel Chapter 1308

Willy received constant updates as he rushed to the hotel, but at the same time, he also kept getting photos of Lauren, all the while making various calls. "What do you mean she's not there? Are you trying to tell me she, a full-grown adult, disappeared after going in? Don't tell me the surveillance is also broken when there's nothing on the records!"

He was beside himself with rage, roaring worriedly, "She's definitely in the hotel! If all fails, knock on every single room!"

Struck with a flash of inspiration, Willy said, "Send people over and set the fire alarm off! No way will these people rather die than come out!"

"Mr. Willy, there are hundreds of rooms; won't we cause a huge commotion if we do that? Also, also... there are many influential people in the hotel, not lacking any who brought their lovers over! We'd be offending a lot of them!"

"Is this what you should worry about? Go and search! If you still can't find her when you reach the last three levels, do as I said!"

After hanging up, Willy turned the car around and hit the gas again, livid with rage.

He and Lexx reached the entrance one after another, charging in after meeting up.

"Willy, anyone we can mobilize is already here! Nora Lyons is holding a concert today; an important person of the day! People inside are also looking for her. I've asked through the phone; they said Lauren had come over, but she's been absent- minded the whole day. No one knows where she has gone. She disappeared just like that..."

"The worst thing is, it's a concert. Not only are there many people, but a lot of them were also part-timers, new faces. No one knows where to even begin!"

Willy only spoke up after they entered the elevator.

"I've also sent the pictures to the manager! F*cking hotel; all the rooms are the same! At least ten floors, hundreds of rooms! Who the f*ck?"

Why lay their hands on Lauren and even send him those pictures?

Willy's mind was all over the place as his heart was in his mouth.

He knew he should keep the matter on a low profile, but the constant photos aside, one of them had a knife glare coming from the shadow on the wardrobe. Fear was already not enough to describe his mixed feeling then.

It'd be too dangerous if they didn't cause a huge ruckus! But if they did, he and Lauren would humiliate themselves entirely. He dared not imagine what things would be like for them the next day!

Utterly troubled, Willy's thoughts were like the throbbing veins on his arm, uncontrollably chaotic!

Right as he stepped out of the elevator, a ping came from his phone, and he unlocked it reflexively. Lowering his head to check the notification, he stumbled as his vision went dark.

"Willy?"

Supporting him up, Lexx was rendered gobsmacked when he lowered his head, the text right before his eyes when he took Willy's phone over.

"Your daughter is in my hands now. Three million dollars cash, non- sequential. You have half an hour; deliver it yourself! ALONE!"

Following the text was a picture of a little girl lying with half her back facing the camera. Half of her face was concealed by the shadow. Though the picture only showed her body from the knee up, her clothes and bag were very much visible.

Then, a series of texts came.

"This bit of money is nothing to the great Mr.

Bowles, right?"

"We just want a bit of runaway money. We get the money; you get her back. Prepare a funeral if we don't receive our money in half an hour."
