"I just wanted to have a meal with my good friend’s grandma, how can that be a crime?" Irene Spencer laughed softly, "Grandma, Vera said I kidnapped you, isn’t she hilarious?"

"That child was just joking, don’t take it seriously." Grandma Wave kept chatting and laughing with her, unaware of her situation, innocently treating Irene Spencer’s words as a joke.

Irene Spencer burst out laughing, "Vera, did you hear that? The law relies on evidence, you can’t just make wild accusations! Ha..."

Vera Wave gritted her teeth in secret, "Irene Spencer, you’re even more shameless than I imagined!"

The taxi followed Irene Spencer’s instructions and soon stopped at an intersection.

Vera Wave got out of the car, walked a few steps forward, and sure enough, saw the car that Irene Spencer mentioned. She quickly walked over, and just as she got close to the car, the door opened, and a familiar figure stepped out.

Seeing the face clearly, Vera Wave stopped in her tracks, surprised.

"Brother Nathan?!"

"Vera?!" Nathan Leafcastle looked at Vera Wave in surprise, "You..."

Slap!

Vera Wave raised her hand and gave Nathan Leafcastle a hard slap across the face.

"I honestly never expected that you would become someone like this!"

"Get in the car, hand your phone to Nathan Leafcastle."

On the phone, Irene Spencer laughed and gave the order.

Vera Wave gritted her teeth and pushed the phone into Nathan Leafcastle’s hand, opened the car door, and sat in the back seat.

Nathan Leafcastle looked at the phone in his hand and brought it to his ear.

"Hello?"

"So, Nathan, I’ve fulfilled my promise to you," Irene Spencer said with a smile, "Now... she’s yours. Even though she slapped you, whatever you ask her to do now, she’ll do it."

"You..." Nathan Leafcastle glanced at Vera Wave sitting inside the car, "What exactly have you done?"

"Take her to the place we agreed upon, I’ll tell you in a while."

After speaking, Irene Spencer hung up the phone.

Listening to the dial tone in the phone, Nathan Leafcastle raised an eyebrow and got into the driver’s seat.

Sitting in the back seat, Vera Wave spoke through gritted teeth.

"Nathan Leafcastle, I’m telling you, if anything happens to my grandma, I will never forgive you!"

Grandma Wave?

Nathan Leafcastle turned his face with a puzzled expression, "What happened to Grandma?"

Meeting his gaze, Vera Wave snorted coldly.

"Why, even now, you’re pretending to be a good person in front of me?" She took a deep breath, "I can’t believe I have friends like you!"

"Vera..."

"Shut up!" she shouted angrily, her tone cold, "Nathan Leafcastle, from now on, you and I... have no ties!"

Nathan Leafcastle’s breath hitched, watching her turn her face away to look out the window. He pressed his lips together, said nothing more, and just started the car, driving to the place he and Irene Spencer had agreed upon.

Sitting in the back seat, watching the cityscape gradually retreat, Vera Wave lifted her right hand and gently pinched the bracelet on her left hand.

The assistant should have already informed Kris Cooper, he will definitely find her.

Stay calm, calm down, Vera!

Handle them well, stall for time, everything will be fine.

For Grandma, for the child... you must stay calm...

She clasped her hands together and took deep breaths repeatedly, trying to relax her mood.

...

Ashton Building, top floor conference room.

The door of the conference room was suddenly pushed open, and a small assistant rushed in, panting heavily.
