Chapter 238: Eleanor Found

The next part of the sentence was an ellipsis without text.

But no matter who saw such words, they naturally understood what the next unspoken message was.

Their expressions turned unpleasant.

Twenty million?

It would be impossible for the Jones family to get that much money together in an hour.

Mia was wondering if Eleanor had offended someone or was being targeted by someone, but when she saw the news, Mia suddenly understood something.

This kidnapping was probably aimed at her.

This happened at a time when the relationship with the Jones family was easing up, and the Jones family couldn't get the money, so Mia, or more precisely, Dylan, had to get the money.

What was the other party's purpose?

Twenty million was really nothing for the Greco family, and even if something had really happened to Eleanor, Mia wouldn't even necessarily care.

"Mia, you have to help Mom."

Lily also immediately reacted and reached out to grab Mia's hand. Fear and anxiety were on her face as tears streamed down, and she said, "Mom knows Eleanor has wronged you, but if you don't save her, she's going to die."

As she spoke, she also looked at Dylan, then turned her head to Mia and said, "Let Mr. Greco lend me some money. Mom will take the money to pay for the ransom, okay? I promise I will pay back this money later. Mia, please, please..."

Lily's tone was very anxious, probably because the injuries Eleanor suffered in the photo just now were really serious. The corners of her mouth were cracked, and her eyes were swollen.

Even when she was in the slums before, she had never been subjected to such suffering.

"Mom, this kind of thing can't be solved by giving money. Let's find out where she is first." Mia replied and didn't know how to answer Lily for a while.

But Lily shook her head impatiently and said, "Find her? What if we can't find her? What if you anger the other party, and they kill her? Mia, please, I will kneel down for you."

Lily really knelt down with a plop while Derrick also looked at Mia from the side and said, "Mia, please, Daddy will pay back the money. No matter what, Eleanor's sins don't warrant death."

Mia frowned. On this matter, she had to do something instead of just watching her die.

Moreover, she felt that Eleanor's situation really seemed to have something to do with her.

She turned her head to look at Dylan, yet before she spoke, Dylan nodded and said, "Prepare some money first, then let Gavin and the others investigate and make preparations. If you are in a hurry to save her, let Gavin and the others protect in the background later on, and you should be able to save her."

When Dylan said so, all the people were relieved.

Dylan called the finance department first, and after hanging up the phone, he said to Lily and Derrick, "You guys reply a message to that number."

"Reply to the message? What should we say?" Lily was completely clueless.

Dylan said, "Tell them that the money is being prepared, but it won't be that fast and will take two hours. Say that you will definitely prepare enough money and beg them not to hurt Eleanor. Remember to be more pleading and say that you have already thought of a way, so that they must be merciful."

Derrick and Lily didn't understand Dylan's intentions, but they thought that if they could appease the criminals, it would be the best thing to do.

Mia looked at Dylan and said, "What are your plans?"

Dylan said, "Find her first. If she can't be found... then we will consider the situation and take the money over to save her."

He could tell that it was impossible for Mia to stand by and watch Eleanor fall into danger, and although he hated Eleanor, the two Elders had raised Mia, and now they had changed a lot, he couldn't refuse to save her.

Mia nodded. After less than twenty minutes, the finance department called to say that the money was ready. Dylan told the finance department to make preparations first because someone might go over to pick it up at any time.

After he hung up the phone, Gavin sent another message, which said that through the phone number of Eleanor's former security guard ex-boyfriend, Melvin found that he might be in the vicinity of the Jones family's home.

The number Eleanor used previously had only sent two messages, and as soon as the messages were sent, the phone was turned off, so for the time being, it couldn't be traced.

Dylan nodded his head and said, "Alright, send people to search in the area surrounding the Jones family's home."

If he was in the area near the Jones family's home, he was quite gutsy.

Moreover, the surveillance could only show that Eleanor went to the suburbs, but she was actually in such a dangerous and unexpected place, so it seemed that the other party had put some thought into it.

Mia frowned and felt taken aback.

That security guard helped Eleanor in the first place because of that small amount of money, and also screwed over Dylan. He should know about Dylan's ruthlessness from working in the Greco family, but he still dared to do so. It was either a serious blunder or he was too stupid.

For someone so stupid... to think of such a sophisticated plan, there must be someone backing him.

As if remembering something, Dylan made another call to Gavin and said in front of the several people, "By the way, find out where Oscar is."

"Find out Oscar for what?" Even Mia was a bit puzzled and was the first to ask.

Dylan said, "Since it was done by an acquaintance, everything is possible, and I am just taking precautions."

Several people nodded their heads to show their understanding, but only Dylan himself knew. When he was eating at the Jones family's house that day, he felt that Oscar's demeanor was fishy, not to mention that the pressure exerted by the Greco family on the Burton family some time ago wasn't at all something that the small Burton family could resist and fight back against. The Burton family knew that Oscar had offended Dylan and had already secretly changed the heir position to their son-in-law, so nobody knew what Oscar would do.

After waiting for an hour and a half, which was simply torturous, Danny was placed on Mia's hospital bed and fell asleep.

She wasn't very worried that Eleanor was in danger, plus she was pregnant and tired.

Mia didn't worry much about Eleanor being in danger, plus she was pregnant and tired, so she also snoozed for a while, but there was some movement outside, and she woke up immediately.

It was Dylan who came in, so Mia said, "How is it?"

Dylan said, "The criminals sent a message. Now, I let Gavin and the others go with the two Jones family Elders to do the exchange."

Mia nodded and Dylan asked them to come in. Mia lowered her voice for fear of disturbing Danny as she said to the two Elders, "Be careful and don't be impulsive. If the other party's goal is money, simply give the money and don't get yourselves hurt."

She was going to say Eleanor wasn't worth it, but this wasn't the appropriate time to say such things, so she thought about it and swallowed the words that had reached her lips.

The two Elders nodded and followed Gavin out.

Dylan sent them out, then went to the bathroom to wash up and laid down next to Mia.

Mia frowned and said, "How could something like this happen to Eleanor?"

She felt that there was some hidden agenda, and it was related to her.
