Kaylah gave Zion a call at the garage. And without seeing her back home, Zion must have known that something was wrong.
As long as she played for time, Zion would come to her rescue.
However, the kidnappers were no fools. Hearing Kaylah's words, the man holding the dagger put on a fiery look. He said disdainfully.
"How much do you have to support your words? As I know, you are just an orphan. What can you give to tempt us?"
The man's reply slightly relieved Kaylah.
From the answer, Kaylah knew that there was room to negotiate.
And the kidnappers clearly did not know who she was, which meant that their employer did not want them to know.
"I don't know what you have been told, but you can easily find out that I'm not a miserable orphan as you said!"
Kaylah spoke calmly, but only she herself knew how uneasy she was.
