Chapter 411
“Do you really think you can kill me?” Pearl questioned defiantly.
Raymond tightened his grip on her wrist and raised her hand, revealing that he had destroyed her Bluetooth ring and phone.”
I just destroyed your ring and phone. Who else can you call for help now?”
Pearl’s heart skipped a beat, but she refused to resign to her fate.
At that moment, Raymond’s phone rang.
“Sir, the doctor said we can’t proceed with the blood exchange surgery right now. Pearl…”
Frowning, Raymond increased the pressure on Pearl’s wrist. “What about her?”
“She’s too skinny. If we rush the surgery, she’ll die.”
Raymond hadn’t anticipated this particular complication.
Pearl overheard their phone conversation and quickly thought of a plan.
Raymond gently touched Pearl’s face and frowned. “You must eat properly from now on. I’ll have the butler deliver your meals on schedule.”
After that, he got up to leave but heard Pearl’s aloof voice. “Fine, but I have a condition. I want to move around freely in this villa.”
“No.” Raymond stopped and turned back to face her. “You’re too crafty. I can’t let you roam freely.”
“Then I won’t eat anything.”
“I’ll kill you silently if you do that.”
Pearl couldn’t help but condemn him. “You’re insane.”
“Thank you for the compliment. I can graciously accept being called a madman who sacrifices everything for love.”
Pearl shifted her b*dy and protested, “I’m hungry!”
“I’ll have the butler bring your food. Just know that this room has excellent sound insulation, and this villa is isolated for miles around. Don’t waste your energy.”
With that, he turned and left the room.
Pearl lay on the bed, unable to move due to the tight restraints on her limbs.
Meanwhile, Richard grew increasingly concerned when he realized that Pearl had been missing for a considerable amount of time after his video conference.
Despite searching all the places she might have gone to, he couldn’t find her.
Wayne hurried to Bodgow overnight after hearing about Pearl’s disappearance. “Where was Miss Pearl last seen?”
Richard told him the last clue he found. “She vanished in the underground garage, but she didn’t drive away. I didn’t notice any suspicious vehicles either.”
“So, she was abducted?”
“That seems to be the most plausible explanation.”
A particular person came to Wayne’s mind, and he asked in surprise, “Could it be Hugo?”
Richard instantly rejected the idea. “No. If he had Pearl, he would have already started negotiations with me. Besides, Pearl isn’t his primary target.”

“If not Hugo, then who could it be?”
Richard recalled a person who had not made an appearance since he had taken Pearl away. Suddenly, a revelation struck him. ” I think I know who it is ”
Wayne was puzzled. “Who?”
Richard spoke urgently in a lowered voice, “Find Raymond’s address, Wayne, along with all the locations of his personal properties. Act fast!”
