Love Unspoken

Chapter 1496 Oliver picked up the phone, but before he could say anything, a man's voice cut in.

"Oliver, if you want to save Abigail, bring Landon here. Just the two of you. Call the cops, and she's dead," the man warned. Oliver's face tightened. "Who are you?" he demanded.

"You'll find out when you get here," the man replied.

"I've sent the location to your phone," he added before hanging up.

Oliver checked his phone and saw a location sent by Abigail.

Alvin asked, "What's going on? What happened?" Oliver glanced around the room. "Abigail's in trouble. Postpone the wedding. I'm going to find her. You all stay here," he ordered. Elliot quickly stepped forward. "I'm coming too!" Oliver stopped and turned to him. "Stay here and wait for my call," he said firmly.

Elliot looked like he wanted to argue, but his mom pulled him back. "Why are you getting involved?" she whispered.

Oliver left the hotel and rushed to find Landon.

On the way, he called Landon. "Landon, where are you?" he asked.

"At the office, as usual. What's up?" Landon replied.

Oliver had sent Landon an invite earlier, but he didn't show. Now, Oliver had to go to his office to find him.

The man was clearly after both Oliver and Landon, so a little delay wouldn't hurt.

When he got to Landon's company, Landon was already outside. Oliver motioned for him to get in the car. "Abigail's been kidnapped?" Landon asked.

Oliver nodded, looking serious. "Yeah, I think it's one of those companies. They specifically want us." Landon fiddled with his wristwatch. "What's this got to do with me?" "How can it not? If something happens to Abigail, our deal's off," Oliver said.

Landon sighed and muttered, "That stupid woman." Oliver frowned, annoyed. "I'm here to make a plan, not listen to you insult her," he snapped.

Landon asked, "How many people are there?" "Not sure yet," Oliver replied.

"Drive," Landon ordered.

Oliver was taken aback. "Just the two of us?" he asked.

"What else? You think bringing more people will help?" Landon shot back.

Oliver sighed. "I don't think it matters if we go alone. If it's really those companies, they might be ready for a fight." "Let's check it out first. Guessing won't help," Landon said.

Oliver was momentarily speechless, then angrily hit the gas, and they headed to the address alone.

The place was super remote, almost outside Amber Bay, near the neighboring city's border, in a village just off the highway.

The village was abandoned, with crooked old houses and overgrown roads.

Quinn and Abigail had no cell signal after being brought here, unable to make calls or send messages.

They were still locked in the car, with the doors locked and only a small gap left open.

Abigail tried all four doors but couldn't open any. She sat back, frustrated.

She angrily pounded the glass. "Why is it always us? Why doesn't he just go after Landon directly!" she exclaimed.

Quinn tried to calm her down. "Stay calm," she said.

He didn't go after Landon because he didn't have the chance. Landon was cautious and always had people with him in potentially dangerous places. But Abigail and Quinn were different. They weren't mixed up in all that shady stuff and didn't have Landon's level of caution, making them easy targets. The guy cback, peered into the car, then wandered off to smoke nearby.

Quinn whispered, "Looks like he's alone." "When he gets back in the car, let's find a way to take him down," Abigail suggested.

Quinn nodded.

But the guy smoked forever, showing no signs of getting back in the car.

It was past midnight, and he was getting antsy.

He walked to a spot with signal and called Oliver, telling him to hurry up.

Quinn started searching the car for something to break the window.

"Is this car from the Vanderbilt family?" she asked Abigail.

"Yeah, why?" Abigail replied.

"Do you know if there are any emergency tools in here?" Quinn asked.

Abigail was stumped. She'd been in the car plenty of times but never needed to know about that stuff. "There should be, but I have no idea where," Abigail admitted.

"If it's an emergency tool, it has to be in the car. Let's look," Quinn said.

Quinn rummaged around the seats, then climbed to the front, checking the glove compartment and sides. After a long search, she finally found a window-breaking hammer in the glove compartment. She grinned and pocketed it, then climbed back to the back seat. "Look," Quinn said, showing the hammer to Abigail.

Abigail was thrilled and grabbed it to break the window.

Quinn quickly stopped her. "Wait!" she whispered.

"What's wrong?" Abigail asked.

"He's still here. If we break the window now, he'll hear it and cover before we can get out," Quinn explained. Abigail thought for a moment and glanced at the guy not far away. "Let's wait a bit longer," she agreed. Quinn nodded.

The guy checked the time, getting more impatient by the minute.

He opened Oliver's Facebook and sent him voice messages full of threats, saying he'd kill Abigail if Oliver didn't show up soon.

Hearing these threats, Oliver grew anxious. He was already driving as fast as he could, but the mountain road was tricky.

He could only try to calm the guy down.

The guy ran out of cigarettes and angrily tossed his phone, lighting his lighter as he walked back to the car.

He opened the gas tank cover, planning to throw the lighter in later.

Thinking about the car catching fire and Oliver and Landon trying to save the happy. Today, none of them would escape; they would all die here.

With these thoughts, the guy becless impatient. He walked to a high point to look down, where he could see if Oliver and Landon were coming.

Seeing the guy move away, Abigail immediately took out the hammer and smashed the car window. After out two hits, the glass shattered. As the glass broke, the guy suddenly looked over.

Quinn urgently said, "Run! We'll split up. He can't catch both of us!" Abigail, sitting on this side, had to go first. She hesitated briefly, then climbed out the window.

The guy was after Abigail, so it didn't matter if Quinn ran. He wouldn't care about Quinn and would chase Abigail.

So Abigail climbed out, fell to the ground, and despite the pain, got up and ran.

The guy reached the car, looked inside, and made eye contact with Quinn.

Quinn clenched her fists, unsure if he would stay to deal with her or chase after Abigail.
