Return With the Bill Chapter 107: Samuel was the culprit

Chapter 107: Samuel was the culprit

The fascinating aroma greeted her nose, causing her to wake up imdiately and stare at the ceiling, mories of Daniel’s kidnapping haunting her once again, urging her to sit up and look at Hannah.

"Hannah... Has Tristan succeeded in bringing Daniel back?" she asked anxiously.

Hannah just shook her head. "But Damian will co. Maybe he will do sothing."

"He’s late, he can’t do anything!" Valerie exclaid in frustration, quickly getting up from the bed and grabbing her phone from the table. She hurriedly walked out of the room and left the house, crying.

"Daniel... Where are you? Oh God... Please protect my son!"

She continued walking towards the daycare, but suddenly her phone rang. She saw an incoming call from an unknown number and answered it quickly.

"Hello?"

"Hey... It’s ... Samuel" greeted Samuel from the other end.

"What do you want after ruining my life? I don’t have ti to deal with you now!" Valerie beca more emotional.

"Hey hey... Calm down... Don’t misunderstand. I have sothing you want."

"What?"

"Mama... Mama..."

Valerie’s eyes widened as she realized it was Daniel’s voice. "Daniel... Is that you?"

"He’s safe with ," Samuel said again, sounding so calm. "But he might not be okay if you take him with Damian or anyone else. I want you to co here... Intersection of 124Rose. We’re waiting for you but never co with Damian or anyone else... Daniel’s safety is in my hands..."

"Samuel... Are you threatening ? Why are you doing this?" Valerie wondered, but suddenly the phone call was cut off.

"Oh my..." Valerie glared at her phone angrily, Daniel’s voice echoing in her ears. She looked around, hearing the sound of sirens not far from where she stood.

"Maybe it’s the police Tristan called. They can’t see ; I have to find Daniel imdiately!"

She quickly ran in the opposite direction while contacting an online taxi to take her to Samuel and Daniel’s location.

...

Several minutes passed, Damian was almost reaching Valerie’s house but he stopped when he saw Hannah on the street looking confused. He imdiately got out of the car and approached her.

"Hey... What are you doing here? Where’s Valerie?" he asked, puzzled.

"I don’t know where Valerie is... After waking up, she ran out of the house. I chased her but couldn’t find her," Hannah answered anxiously. "But maybe she’s joining Tristan at the abduction location," she continued.

"Show

the place!" Damian exclaid, quickly returning to his car but canceling to get in when he saw Tristan arriving on his motorcycle. He closed the door again and looked at the man with annoyance, rembering trying to approach Valerie but now wasn’t the ti to be emotional. "Where’s Valerie?"

"Valerie?" Tristan furrowed his brows. "I don’t know where she is... I haven’t even seen her since this morning." He beca more confused and imdiately got off the motorcycle.

"Oh God!" Hannah grew more confused. "Then where is she? Maybe she’s trying to find Daniel? But she couldn’t possibly search without any clues!"

"Does she have her phone?" Tristan asked.

Hannah nodded.

"I’m sure the kidnapper must have contacted her and asked her to release Daniel without anyone’s help so she wouldn’t wait for us!" Tristan said with a serious look.

Damian imdiately furrowed his brows. "How do you know? Or could it be that you kidnapped Daniel, then you’ll save him so you’ll look like his guardian angel again, then Valerie will..."

"Stop your nonsense!" Tristan snapped at Damian and stopped talking. "I’m not crazy, I don’t need to use that thod to get her attention... Besides, I never tried to approach her... She’s just a friend to , and now I’m trying to help her. What I just said is sothing common for kidnappers, I’m a forr CIA agent, I understand about criminals!"

Damian just stayed silent, his face still tense.

Tristan went back to his motorcycle. "I’ll try to find her my way!" he said, imdiately driving his motorcycle back towards the house.

"Damian, don’t you have soone you can rely on to help Daniel or..."

"I’ll find him my way!" Damian exclaid before Hannah finished her question. He imdiately got back into his car, then looked at his phone and called Valerie, but her number was already inactive.

"Jerry, it’s urgent, I need your help!" he said anxiously.

"What happened?"

"Daniel was kidnapped, then shortly after, Valerie disappeared too. I’m sure Valerie got a call from the kidnapper... I need your help to track whoever contacted her last," Damian explained anxiously. "After that, send

that caller’s number, and I’ll track where they went..."

"Okay, I’ll do my best. Wait a mont, my laptop is in the room."

Damian hung up the phone and then called his mother, asking his people to join in this rescue mission.

...

Valerie got out of the taxi, imdiately approaching Samuel who was waiting next to the black car.

"Where’s Daniel?" she asked.

Samuel just stayed silent, then reached out his hand to Valerie. "Give

your phone."

Valerie quickly reached into her pocket to take out her phone and handed it to Samuel.

But she was shocked when the man imdiately threw her phone into the drain.

"Samuel, are you crazy? Many people will call ... People from drama projects... and..."

"You don’t need it anymore!" Samuel exclaid, quickly grabbing Valerie’s hand and dragging her towards the car.

He pushed her into the driver’s seat where Daniel was, sitting with his legs and hands tied, even his mouth was covered with cloth.

"Oh God, my son!"

Valerie imdiately approached Daniel and removed the cloth and ropes then hugged him, crying, kissing him without realizing the car was slowly moving.

"Mom, I’m scared," Daniel whispered, his trembling lips.

"Don’t be afraid, sweetheart. Mom is here," Valerie replied, hugging Daniel again.

Samuel drove and smirked thinly, glancing at Daniel and Valerie’s togetherness from the mirror.

"Nothing bad will happen if you’re always with ," he said.

Valerie imdiately turned to him with a sharp look. "What do you want?"

"Of course, both of you."

"Can’t you respect my decision? I don’t like you, you’ve ruined my beautiful plans with Damian. And now you want

to follow your wishes? Do you think you deserve that?" Valerie asked impatiently, still hugging Daniel.

"The problem is, I don’t care whether I deserve it or not," Samuel said casually. "I’ve fought too hard for you all this ti, so it would be a pity if it’s not continued. And maybe this is the last option," he continued with a cynical smile.

"Do you think you’ll succeed? I’m sure Damian’s people will rescue us soon and you’ll rot in jail?"

"Or you’ll be rotting in my jail..."

"Your jail?" Valerie stared at Samuel in horror, imagining if, after this, she would hide with Daniel.
