Goodbye, Mr. Ex: I've Remarried Mr. Right novel Chapter 972

Kale hesitated.

Drake furrowed his brow. "What is it?"

Kale sighed, "Miss Bernard was kidnapped by Edgar."

"Oh, and what does that have to do with me? Edgar needs money, right? He wants a ransom?"

"Yes."

"Well, he should be asking Marion for money. Marion was the one who promised to take care of Cathryn."

Drake brushed it off and loosened his tie. "Go pack your things. We don't need to get involved in Cathryn's affairs. Someone else will take care of it."

"But..."

"What is it now?"

"Debra has also been kidnapped."

"By Edgar? Ha!"

"I heard it over the phone. Besides Debra, Liza has also been taken. It sounds like Edgar is demanding a ransom of one trillion dollars."

"One trillion? Has he lost his mind?"

"Desperate people do desperate things."

Debra stepped forward. "Since we're all here, let me remind you. Miss Eaton is delicate. If you hurt her, the Eaton family will not let you off the hook."

Edgar paused, considering her words.

Debra pointed at Liza's bound hands. "Such a thick rope could hurt her wrists. You know, Fermin is very protective of her. He might chop off your hands if he found out."

Liza understood that Debra was helping her. She echoed, "Exactly. My brother and dad love me dearly. If you keep me tied up like this, they will not let you go."

Edgar glanced at her and said, "I can untie you, but if you try to run, I'll shoot you in the leg."

Liza, terrified by his threat, watched as Edgar began to untie the rope.

Halfway through, he suddenly turned to Debra. "You, come here."
