NovelEnglishChapter 606 I remained silent as I leaned against Steven. I felt heartbroken for him. He had been suppressing himself all the while.
"Steven," I called for him softly.
"Yes?" Steven looked down at me.
"Hug me, please." I buried my face against his chest.

As such, both of us, who hadn't quite figured out ourselves as "parents", immediately straightened up. We looked at Ashton and Xandra seriously and said, "Go play with your toys." "You can't sneakily kiss Mom okay, Dad? Mom belongs to Xandra and me." Ashton gave Steven a warning look while Steven stared back with the sintensity. What a father-and-son pair! At that moment, I felt as if I had brought htwo little troublemakers. Steven was just like a child himself, after all. Now, there were two more children vying for attention.
Following the abductor's instructions, Dayton struggled to drag a massive industrial container meant for heavy- duty supplies into Leffers Street. He was heading toward the tenth trash can.
As the trash can was rather large, there wouldn't be any issue fitting a container in. But now, the problem was the 30 million dollars in cash weighing over 600 pounds. It was impossible for Dayton to unload them into the trash can on his own.
As such, he could only sit on the container and give the abductor a call. "I've brought the money over now. Where is she? I want to see if she's safe."' "Place the container down and leave the place," the abductor replied with a low voice.
"I'm warning you, don't try any tricks. Just imagine the consequences if you still refuse to let her go after getting the money," Dayton threatened angrily.
Steven had taught him all those words.
Steven and I were hiding somewhere to observe our surroundings. The police were all in position as well.
As the CEO of the Crowdstar Group, Dayton surely possessed exceptional power. It would be fairly easy for him to deal with an abductor.
"We'll release her once we get the money and make sure they are fine." They only wanted to assess Dayton's financial capabilities. He wouldn't be able to cup with 30 million in cash in such a short amount of tif he wasn't the president of Crowdstar Group.

"What's the meaning of this?" Dayton called the abductor once again.
The abductor replied, "We're having second thoughts, Mr. Sacco. Thirty million dollars seems like three dollars to you. I heard that you've collected many valuable treasures.
"Last year, you secretly acquired an emerald vase worth hundreds of millions from an auction under the nof the president of Crowdstar Group. I heard that it's kept in the bank vault. I'll give you an hour's tto bring it to us, and we'll immediately release her. We'll kill her otherwise."
An hour was just enough tfor Dayton to make a round trip to the bank. They refused to give him more E tfor anything else.
His identity as the president of the Crowdstar Group could only be m proven by retrieving something No valuable using his identity as the president within the specific tgiven. Dayton gritted his teeth, not knowing what to answer.
Steven said from the headset, "Tell them that this is their last chance. We'll kill them if anything happens to Xandra." Dayton did as he was told. He then called his chauffeur to pick him up. The chauffeur was Joel.
This ploy had to be played out completely in order to convince GenSociety that Dayton was indeed the president of Crowdstar Group. Only then would there be an opportunity to contact the superiors supposedly above Mrs. Ford.
