Chapter 762

Harry grunted in acknowledgment. But still, he was terribly anxious.

At that, Genevieve couldn't help querying, “Are you averse to places that are too dark?”

Leaning against her back, Harry admitted uneasily, “I was once kidnapped when I was ten years old.

They tossed me into a big iron bucket, and the air inside was very sparse... I was trapped there for a

very long time. Later, fear struck me whenever I saw such big iron buckets, and I developed a dislike of

dark places.”

Genevieve recalled that he was seemingly tense in the elevator when they went to a restaurant for a

meal the day before, glancing at the elevator lights every so often. Meanwhile, Evan kept talking to

divert his attention.

All, it turns out that he developed claustrophobia because of his kidnapping then.

Feeling distressed for him, Genevieve gently soothed him, murmuring, “That's already in the past. This

time, I'm with you. As long as I'm alive, I'll never allow anything to happen to you. When the ransom

has been paid, and they've released us, we'll go to Evan's house to have wagyu beef.”

“Okay.” Harry's breathing gradually relaxed.

Seeing that he was no longer that terrified, Genevieve urged him to help remove the hood on her head.

When her eyes had adapted to the darkness, she saw that the shed was awfully small and even had a

musty smell.

Thin air and sparse light slipped into the shed through the gap under the iron door.

Genevieve tried her best to speak of casual subjects to alleviate Harry's apprehension. As the two of

them were chatting, the door suddenly swung open, and two men strutted in.

With the light streaming in, Harry could see the men who entered. His pupils constricted, and he buried

his head in Genevieve's shoulder, his body trembling nonstop.

At his reaction, Genevieve reckoned that he was acquainted with either one of them.

Shortly after, she recognized one of the men as the renowned kidnapper in Xedells, Hans Ward. He

once kidnapped the daughter of a wealthy businessman and demanded a ransom of five hundred

million. Because of the wealthy businessman's hesitation, he chopped off three of his daughter's

fingers.

Throughout the years, he had robbed banks besides kidnapping celebrities and children of wealthy

people, committing dozens of crimes. Yet, no one could ever catch him.

Thus, it was no wonder that he dared to face Genevieve and Harry without concealing his face.

Hans had an amicable appearance and even wore a smile on his face, not at all looking like a vicious

kidnapper.

While making a phone call, he said to Harry, “It's a billion for the two of you.”

A billion?

Harry was stunned at that astronomical amount.

“Wait!” When Hans was making the call, Genevieve called out to him. She calmly uttered, “You

kidnapped us for money. The Hompton family is in politics. No matter how connected his father is, he

can't raise a billion in a short time. Instead, the police might even be alerted. At that time, it'll be

unfavorable to you. We don't want to die either.”

She initially didn't want to speak, but she knew that there would be an election in Xedells soon.

As such, many people were currently keeping an eye on the Hompton family. If Harry's kidnapping

were to leak out, people with ulterior motives would report it to the police.

Hans was ruthless, so he would give up the money and kill them immediately if he sensed something

amiss.

Inhaling deeply, Genevieve gave him a string of numbers. “Phone my brother instead. He'll definitely be

able to raise a billion for you as soon as possible.”

Hans remained motionless and eyed her suspiciously.

Upon seeing that he didn't believe her, Genevieve had no choice but to reveal her family background.

“My brother is Cooper Sutton. As long as we're safe and sound, he'll definitely give you a billion.”

Only then did Hans recognize her. No longer hesitating, he rang Cooper up.

“Okay, but a billion is too huge a sum. I need some time to raise the money. I'll definitely give it to you,

so don't harm a hair on her head,” Cooper asserted grimly on the other end of the phone.

After Hans had hung up the phone, Genevieve implored, “Please give us a bottle of water.”

They had been locked up for a long time, and she knew that Harry was at the end of his endurance.

When one was on the brink of breaking down, drinking water would relax him considerably.

Hans said nothing, merely turned around and left.

Sometime later, the iron door was opened once again. A slightly plump man came in with a bottle of

water, his lascivious gaze roving over Genevieve.

Stifling her uneasiness, Genevieve murmured, “Just put the water on the ground.”

Without warning, the man lunged at her.
