The line went through, but the one answering the call was Kale.
He warned, “Miss Bernard, | believe Mr. Lowe made himself clear. If you insist on bothering him, he’ll show you
no mercy.”
Cathryn hadn’t expected this number to belong to Kale. It turned out Drake hadn’t given her his number at all.
But with Edgar staring at her from the side, she had to bite the bullet and try again. “Can you please let Drake
take the call? | have something very important to tell him.”
“Mr. Lowe isn't interested,” Kale refused flatly, ready to hang up.
Cathryn cried out, “I've been kidnapped by Edgar. He'll killif | can’t cup with a ransom of 20 billion

Drake entered the room and asked, “What did Cathryn want?”
Kale immediately ended the call. “It’s nothing. She wanted you to take responsibility for
her.”
Drake hummed indifferently, “Block her.”
“Understood.” Kale promptly blacklisted Cathryn’s number.
“Get things ready. We're heading back to Orkgate,” Drake ordered.
There was no longer a foothold for him overseas. The Eaton family’s promises of collaboration had proven
empty, mere courtesies with no real value.
