That Can Be Arranged

Chapter 126

Chapter 126 The man didn’t notice her. He skulked around for a moment and retreated deeper into the forest. That might be the lead. I can’t let him get away. Tessa didn’t have time to inform anyone else. She had no choice but to follow the man alone, and she kept some distance in case the man noticed her, but she always kept him in her sight. About ten minutes later, her hands were already drenched with sweat, but she realized they were about to exit the forest, so she slowed down and hid among the bushes. Then, she saw a house before her. The man went inside. “Boss, Nicholas and his men are at the factory, and they’re holding our guys. What should we do?” The man raised Gregory’s chin and asked, “What should we do indeed? What should we do, boy?”

“Let me go. If money’s what you want, my Daddy can pay you,” Gregory answered calmly. Tessa paused for a moment. I knew it. Greg’s here, but there’s a lot of kidnappers inside. I can’t save him even if I tried to face them head on. What should I do? Oh, right. Nicholas. I have to call Nicholas. She took her phone out and called Nicholas with trembling hands. “I-I found Greg. Come over quickly. There’s a ton of thugs here.” “Where are you? Don’t make a move until I arrive.” Nicholas’ face fell, and he raised his hand to silence everyone. Tessa almost couldn’t even hold her phone. She whispered, “I’ll send my location to you. Get here ASAP.” She sent her location to him and hid in a place where she could see everything. The kidnappers’ leader held the boy’s chin. “Your father? Your father doesn’t want you anymore.” Gregory struggled to break free. “That’s a lie! Daddy and Miss Tessa must be looking for me!” The man in black snorted. “Yeah, and that’s why they don’t want you anymore. I told them to pay up, but they came here to look for you. They don’t want you anymore, and you lost your only use. I might have to give your father a warning.” He swung his bat a few times. Gregory looked at him fearfully. “What do you want to do?” Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.

The man in black snorted. “Break your arm, of course. This might scare your rich daddy into paying up.” Tessa’s eyes widened. No, I can’t let this happen. I can’t wait for Nicholas anymore. She charged ahead grunted painfully, and she could feel her insides churning as pain spread across her body. She was seeing stars, and she almost blacked out. Gregory was shocked, and he cried. “Miss Tessa! Are you alright, Miss Tessa? Don’t scare me!” Tessa was pale from the pain, but she wanted to calm the crying Gregory down. She tried to touch his face, but her whole body was screaming with pain, and all her strength left her, so all she could do was force a smile. “I’m fine,” she assured him. “I’m okay.” Gregory had been holding on for a while, but when he saw blood flowing from Tessa’s shoulder, he couldn’t stay calm anymore, and he bawled. “I-I’ll blow on your wound, Miss Tessa. The butler said that’ll take all the pain away. Don’t leave me alone, Miss Tessa. I’m scared.”
