Chapter 376 The Ransom Demand

• Brandon sat in his car, his fingers drumming anxiously against the steering wheel, his mind a storm of anger, fear, and frustration. The road stretched out ahead of him, but he had nowhere to go—nowhere that would bring him closer to Hannah and Jessica. It had been days. Days without a single clue, without a demand, without even a whisper from the people who had taken them. That silence was the worst part.
• If this was about money, wouldn’t they have reached out by now? But no, nothing. The kidnappers had been careful. Too careful. The CCTV footage from the area had conveniently malfunctioned right before the abduction. It wasn’t a coincidence. This had been planned, and planned well.
• Brandon clenched his jaw. His mind circled back to the people who might have a reason to hurt Hannah. His mother was an obvious suspect—she had always hated Hannah, never hiding her disdain. But Linda wouldn’t go this far, would she? No. This was different. Someone wanted more than revenge.
