Chapter:-66 Olivia Your mom has been kidnapped

"'I'm someone you cannot afford to offend.'" "'I'll give you one last warning. If you dare

talk any more of this crap to me, I promise you'll regret it.'" At this moment, a faint aura

burst out from Keith's body. The others were taken aback and didn't dare to refute him.

Olivia was shocked. She'd followed her grandfather since she was young and had seen

countless big shots. She was familiar with the look on Keith's face, but somehow on him,

it was different.

But deep down, she was still angry. She suddenly stood up and said, "'What's the point

of saying all this now? What can you prove? I don't care if you don't have any money. I

don't even care if you're not that talented.

What I'm disgusted about is that you don't act like a man. You can't even protect your

girlfriend. How could you make me happy?' Her words poked directly at Keith's sore spot,

and he fell silent.

Christina had left him. Although he had hit Blake, he still lost his girlfriend. This was his

failure, and he couldn't deny it.

And he'd made up his mind that he would recover his dignity, but right now, he really

couldn't prove anything. He didn't say a word, but a bitter smile appeared on his face.

Olivia realized that her words were a little too much, and her expression eased up.

She sighed and said, "'Let's get a divorce. We really aren't suitable for each other.' Keith

let out a breath of turbid air. He looked at the cold but beautiful girl in front of him and

said with a faint smile, "'You have the power to get a marriage certificate.

I think you have the power to get a divorce certificate as well. Can't you solve this

problem by yourself? I just hope you don't regret it in the future.' Olivia calmly said, "'I

never regret my choices.' Just as she wanted to say something more, Calvin's phone

suddenly rang. He hurriedly got up and said, "'I'll go and find Mr. Strauss,' and quickly

walked away from the table.

The two of them calmed down and didn't speak for a while, but the scene remained

awkward. Keith was angry in his heart, but he stayed calm on the outside as he drank his

coffee. His expression was indifferent, and he didn't say a word.

After a while, Mr. Strauss returned with Calvin. The old man smiled and said, "'Keith, I

heard you single-handedly defeated three bank robbers. In fact, I saw the video.

You were amazing.' Keith smiled and said, "'I was just lucky.' Old Mr. Strauss was happy

with Keith's response. He seemed most satisfied with the young man. At that moment,

Calvin's phone rang again.

He answered the call, and within seconds his expression changed dramatically. "'Shit, Olivia, your mom has been kidnapped!' "'What?' The others yelled in shock. Olivia's face

fell, and she grabbed her phone to call her mother, but Calvin said with a trembling

voice, "'The kidnapper's calling from your mom's phone!' Olivia's face turned pale.

She was a strong woman, but she was still young. When faced with this kind of situation,

she immediately panicked. Old Mr. Strauss said in a deep voice, "'Give me the phone!'

Calvin handed it over, and Mr. Strauss listened for a minute before angrily throwing it to

the ground.

He gritted his teeth and hissed, "'There's someone out there who dares to do such a

thing. Calvin, call the police and bring these criminals to justice.' Calvin said quietly,

"'Sir, the kidnappers clearly stated that we can't call the police or they will kill her.'

Olivia, whose face was ashen, said urgently, "'Grandpa, if they want money, we'll give

them money. We cannot risk Mom's safety.' Old Mr. Strauss was silent for a moment.

He seemed to have aged dozens of years in an instant. He waved his hand and said,

"'The kidnappers told us to stay in the restaurant. Olivia, you sort out the funds.

Calvin, go and empty the restaurant and do it discreetly.' The two of them nodded and

hurried away. Old Mr. Strauss sat back down and looked at Keith and Sienna, whose face

was pale and frightened, and said, "'The kidnappers are afraid that you'll call the police if

you leave. So they said you had to stay here.

I know you're frightened. I'll make it up to you later.'" Sienna had lost her sense of

propriety, and she nodded in panic. Keith, on the other hand, had a calm expression, but

there was a faint light flickering in the depths of his eyes.

Strauss' family was very powerful. In less than two hours, a Mercedes pulled up outside

the restaurant, carrying the cash. At that very moment, the kidnappers called again and

instructed them to park the car a hundred feet away.

Moments later, an unmarked van drove over. A man in a mask got out and climbed into

the Mercedes, but he didn't seem in a hurry to leave. Old Mr. Strauss received a call from

the kidnapper.

They had changed their minds. Not only did they want 100 million in cash, they also

wanted 100,000 shares in Olive Industries. And there was another prerequisite.

If Mr. Strauss could follow the Mercedes to the place where the contract was to be

signed, the kidnappers would let Mia go. Otherwise, they would kill her. In addition, he

wasn't allowed to take his own luxury car.

He had to use the van that the kidnappers had arrived in. The kidnappers were clearly

making things difficult for him. Old Mr. Strauss was burning with anger.

These kidnappers sure were arrogant to make such demands of a man of his status. In

any other situation, with just a phone call, the kidnappers would have vanished without a

trace. But they had targeted the Strauss family's weakness.

Mr. Strauss had no choice but to agree to their demands. He looked at the young men

behind him and shook his head slightly. Back in his day, he had raced Formula One cars

for fun.

In terms of driving skills, none of the young men here could compare to him. But he was

too old now. Forget it, Mr. Strauss sighed and said, Olivia, Calvin, follow me into the van.

Keith, Sienna, you two go home. Olivia's eyes turned red. She said anxiously, Grandpa,

it's too risky.

Let me drive. The old man shook his head and said, A young woman like you can do this.

I'll drive.

But Olivia wanted to say something. But the old man shook his head and said, Don't say

anymore. Get in the van.

With that, he left. Olivia didn't dare to disobey and followed him with the resigned look.

Keith said indifferently, Calvin, you don't know how to drive.
