The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 2362

It was unclear how much time had passed before they arrived at their destination. Both Lucas and Claudia were thrown into a room together. After the kidnappers brought them to their destination, it seemed as if they had been forgotten, just locked away.

Lucas was never one to sit idly by. Once he sensed that there was no immediate danger, he began to move cautiously, but the ropes binding his hands and feet were tight. The more he struggled, the more he felt the roughness of the ropes, yet he could not loosen them.

Meanwhile, Claudia was overwhelmed by fear and began to sob softly.

"Don't be afraid..." Lucas struggled to utter, unsure if Claudia could hear him clearly.

However, upon hearing Lucas's voice, her crying softened a bit.

Squeak!

Upon hearing the sound of the door opening, Lucas immediately stopped moving and turned his head toward the source of light.

"Boss, let them make a phone call. They come from wealthy families. Tell them to prepare 15 million dollars. Then we can live without working for the rest of our lives!" one of the kidnappers said.

The other two chuckled, imagining a future where they would not have to worry about anything after completing this job.

"Don't worry. Now that we have them, they'll give us whatever we ask for. And if they dare to call the police, we'll just kill them. Worst-case scenario, we'll just rot in prison for the rest of our lives. Let's just see who has more to lose!"

Lucas's heart skipped a beat. These people were outlaws, willing to risk everything for money. Claudia trembled uncontrollably, and even Lucas could hear the sound of her teeth chattering.

Lucas remained silent, calmly entering a familiar phone number.

"Hello—"

"Hello? Who is this? Why aren't you speaking? Did you kidnap my grandson?" came the voice of an elderly woman from the other end.

Lucas did not utter a word, and the leader immediately shot him an approving look for being so cooperative.

He waited until the old lady's voice grew hoarse from shouting before finally speaking in a measured tone, "That's right, Missus Rivera."
