Chapter 368: Her Brother Didn’t Come

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Hearing her mother’s words, Mary looked around at the deserted surroundings and felt a little safer. At least, she was not alone right now.

Mary listened quietly and occasionally responded. After a while, a black car drove up from downstairs.

Mary instantly became alert and whispered back, “Mom, someone’s here. I’m hanging up.”

After hanging up, she switched her phone to the alarm mode and placed it behind her. With the box in her other hand, she stood vigilantly in front of the window.

The newcomers came up quickly, but there was only one of them. Mary peeked down. The car was parked below. No one else had come out.

In other words, these people might not have brought her brother over. Or he might be still in the car.

The person who came up was wrapped up in tight clothing. He wore a hat, gla.s.ses, mask, and other things. Mary could not tell who he was at all.

…..

“Did you bring it?” The man even brought a voice changer. It seemed that he had made sufficient preparations. Even though Mary came over herself, he still did not let down his guard.

Mary did not answer, but asked the man in black, “Where’s my brother?”

“He’s not here,” the man in black said flatly.

Mary scowled at his sungla.s.ses. “You didn’t bring my brother here as promised. There’s no need for me to give you anything unless you let me see my brother.”

“Do you think I’m a fool? If I bring your brother here, you’ll just call the police.” The man in black’s gaze landed on the box in Mary’s hand. He pointed at the box and said, “Give that to me and 1’11 let you see your brother. Otherwise, your brother will suffer.”

With that, he took out his phone from his pocket and showed Mary the surveillance footage.

Mary tried to take the phone, but as soon as she reached out her hand, the man in black brushed it away. “Don’t do anything. Just look. Otherwise, you won’t even have a chance to look at him.”

Mary had no choice. Neither she nor her brother could afford to offend these people now. Mary could only stop insisting. The man in black held up the phone. She looked at the screen and saw her brother, Mark, tied to a pillar. He was wet and had something stuffed in his mouth. They were probably worried he would call for help.

Mark was wearing white clothes, which were now covered in blood. The people had indeed attacked him.

“If 1 give you this, will you let my brother go?” Mary took a few steps back and turned her head slightly. From the corner of her eye, she glanced at the window behind her.

If the man in black in front of her really had any abnormal movements, she would jump down without hesitation.

The man in black saw through Mary’s thoughts and sneered. “Don’t even think about escaping. Do you think you still have a chance to escape at this time? Give it to me. If you jump down from here, the car below will crush you. No one will notice if you die in such a place.”

The man in black took a step forward and stretched out his hand to ask for the item. At the same time, he said, “Give it to me and I’ll let your brother go.”

Mary looked at him, not trusting him.

The man in black spoke again. “You have no choice but to believe me, unless you don’t care about your brother anymore. You wouldn’t dare, right? After all, your brother is the lifeblood of your parents. Do you think they will forgive you if they learn that this happened to him because of you?”

It seemed that the man knew Marlie’s family situation very well. He was right. If he had not done a proper investigation, how could he have succeeded in kidnapping Mark?

Mary looked at him. As the man said, there was nothing she could do but trust him.

“Alright, I hope you can keep your word. 1 used my position as the boss’s a.s.sistant to steal her things. My reputation in the industry wall be ruined in the future. 1 have essentially thrown away my career.” Mary gritted her teeth.

Left with no choice, Mary handed the box to the man in black.

Mary did not trust the man in black, and the man in black was also very wary of her. After he took the box, he did not leave in a hurry. Instead, he squatted down and opened the box to check the contents.

Knowing that the man in black would not keep his promise, Mary originally wanted to escape while he was checking his things, but when she thought about the car downstairs and the fact that she did not know how many people were in it, she gave up on the idea and just stared nervously at the man, hoping that he would believe her.

The man in black took out the official seal and looked at it. This kind of company’s official seal had an anti-counterfeiting symbol. It was difficult to forge it.

After confirming that it was real, the man in black put the official seal in his pocket and threatened Mary, “I’ve got the seal, but 1 still have to lock your brother up for a while. Sorry about this, but 1 might still need you later..”
