Chapter 312

Alexander felt like a coward next to Daniela.

He tried to emulate her calm and fell silent.

The car became quiet.

After another half hour, it stopped.

Alexander and Daniela were forced out. She complied and walked where they led her, while Alexander squirmed and kept asking, "Do you know who I am? Do you know who she is?"

Annoyed, the leader slapped Alexander, knocking him to the ground.

"Why bring both?" someone shouted from above.

An underling replied, "This guy kept talking, so we brought him. Claims he's a CEO, but he's nothing special.We'll dump him later."

"And her?"

"Boss, while you were away, Joyce couldn't clear her debt, so I brought her sister here."

The area fell silent fora long stretch.

Then someone opposite them, sounding shocked, asked, "What did you say? Who did you bring?"

"Joyce's sister, Daniela Harper, head of Elite Lux. She's very wealthy. Joyce said we could get billions if we kidnapped her."

The shock was met with a long silence.

Another added quickly, "Boss, I checked. Daniela is indeed wealthy, not simple at all."

No reply came from the other side. Soon,rapid footsteps approached.

The sound of dress shoes clicked against the floor.

"Boss, why come down here? It's just a woman.We-n

"Boss, what are you doing?"

The scat-faced man was stunned. Their usually stern boss now appeared compliant.

"Boss?"

"You fool! Didn't | tell you Joyce's debt are her own? Why involve innocent people?"

The scar-faced man looked confused. "But Joyce has no money. She helped us trap Daniela. Isn't that beneficial?"

Their boss shouted back, "No, it's not! Not at all! You fools almost caused a disaster. I'll deal with you later!"

After this, he turned to Daniela with a warm smile, bowed slightly, and said, "I'm very sorry."

Daniela kept her composure, her eyes twinkling as she looked at him. "Logan, you've been quite careless lately."

Logan Lee replied, "It wasn't intentional. These fools haven't harmed you, right?"

"NO,"Daniela said calmly.

Relieved, Logan exhaled. "I'm glad. Seeing you from afar, I was so startled I thought | was seeing things."

Daniela smirked slightly. "Oh, really? I half expected you to flee the moment you spotted me."

Logan touched his nose, acknowledging her point with an awkward smile.

After her release, Alexander was still not awake.

The goons loaded him into an ambulance. Daniela checked her phone to find that Logan had transferred a substantial apology fee, which brought a small smile to her face. One of Logan's men grumbled quietly, "Boss, we didn't even lay a hand on her, and we're suddenly dowr two hundred million?"

Logan watched Daniela's car pull away, his expression icy."Idiot. We nearly caused a huge issue. Daniela's supporters are not ones to mess with. We couldn't have disentangled from her without paying a steep price."

The man with the scar on his face tightened his grip in frustration.

# was all due to Joyce.

How else could they have squandered two hundred million?

This mess was Joyce's doing.

When Alexander later awoke in the hospital, he opened his eyes wide at the sight of Daniela sitting by his bed, absorbed in her phone.
