Alexander
She quickly called the Best number that had dialed her, and as soon as the line connected, she
immediately asked. “What happened?
Alexander’s heart stirred with bitterness, but he didn’t dare delay. He immediately explained the
afruation.
“Grandpa asked me to send Benjamin back. I put him on a plane, but Steward Cao said… he waited for a long time but never saw Benjamin. Then he saw the bodyguards who were supposed to escort Benjamin come out and said Benjamin had been kidnapped… Isabella, I’m sorry. I didn’t protect our child well…”
At this moment, Alexander’s heart was filled with indescribable complexity. He didn’t know whether to be angry about who dared to kidnap Benjamin under his and Old Mr. Carter’s very noses, or to feel sad, as it seemed that only the fact that Benjamin had been kidnapped could make Isabella proactively contact
him
She furrowed her brows and began to feel a little agitated.
“Benjamin has been kidnapped?” William, carrying another breakfast, sat down beside her. He had just heard Alexander’s voice on the phone and hesitated for a moment before asking, “Is it in Vancouver? Do you need my help?”
It wasn’t that he was interested in dealing with Carter family matters, but he could tell that Benjamin, after all, was the child Isabella had carried for ten months. Even though she might be disappointed with
him for his past actions and might not soften or forgive him because of his apology, when Benjamin was in danger, even possibly facing death, she couldn’t remain indifferent.
She was, after all, an ordinary person and couldn’t be so utterly heartless.
“Thank you.”
However, William had barely started his investigation when Alexander received a message from an unfamiliar number. The message was very short.
“Benjamin is in my hands. If you want him to live, come to the Port of Vancouver at noon tomorrow. If you call the police, I’ll make him accompany me to the grave!”

The words made Isabella’s heart leap into her throat.
If the kidnappers weren’t asking for money, then what could they want?
Isabella and William took a flight back to Vancouver overnight. At noon the next day, they arrived at Port
of Vancouver on time.
At this moment, the water surface at the port was calm, with large ships having already sailed out to sea. Only a small boat remained, tied loosely with a thin rope, floating up and down on the water.
On the boat, there were only two figures, one large and one small, clearly the kidnappers they were looking for.
The person who had kidnapped Benjamin was someone Alexander, Isabella, and William all instantly recognized with a single glance.
“Olivia?!”
The three of them exclaimed in unison. Alexander frowned tightly, speaking impatiently, “Olivia, what exactly do you want?”
Hearing the voice, Olivia turned around. Because there was no obstruction, the long scar on her eye immediately caught everyone’s attention. Benjamin, who had been bound tightly and unconscious, was placed in front of her to shield her from their view. When she saw the three of them, she froze for a
moment.
But soon, the madness in her eyes became more evident.
“Isabella, so you’ve returned?”
Seeing her gaze fixed on Isabella, Alexander and William instinctively stood protectively in front of her. “Speak, what do you want for Benjamin’s release?”
Looking at Isabella, who was tightly guarded behind them, Olivia tasted jealousy for the first time.
Rage surged in her chest, and the hatred in her eyes was almost tangible.
She couldn’t understand. She had been driven out of the Carter family just like her, so why was she so
miserable?
The scar on her face could have been avoided. If the Carter family hadn’t been so ruthless, they only helped stop her bleeding and then kicked her out of the hospital. She was disowned by the Carter family, all her assets were frozen, and the scar remained on her face, leaving her with no place to go. She had to survive by scavenging scraps from trash bins.
But Isabella? She wore high–end brands, her face even more stunning than before she was cast out of the
Chapter 19
Carter family. If that wasn’t enough, even Alexander and William were protecting her!
She couldn’t accept it!
“Didn’t you ask what I want to do?” Olivia held a dagger and moved toward Benjamin. With one hand dragging him closer to the edge of the boat, her malicious expression was clear as she spoke with venom directed at Isabella, T have two conditions. As long as you fulfill them, I’ll release Benjamin.”
“First, I want you to marry me.”
“Second, exchange Isabella for Benjamin.*
Olivia’s gaze was locked onto Alexander, leaving the choice in his hands.
Would he marry her, let her kill Isabella for revenge, and keep Isabella’s child alive for now, or would he
choose for Benjamin to die?
Her words echoed, and the surroundings suddenly fell silent, with only the sound of the wind howling
Giving up Isabella was never an option for Alexander, let alone abandoning Benjamin. Neither could they bring themselves to do it.
“The first condition is fine. The second one is not negotiable. Change your demand.”
After a brief moment, when Alexander remained standing still, William shook his head and firmly rejected her.
