"Because..."
Anastasia dragged on hesitantly while looking at Alexander.Her hesitation showed she was baffled and
afraid.
"I don't care what they told you, but think about it.You can’t hide it now that I already know about this.It
doesn't make much difference whether or not you tell,"
Alexander said patiently, "Don't you trust me? Do you not trust Lily?"
He resorted to playing the emotional card.
Although Anastasia might not trust him completely, she still had absolute trust in Lily.
It was to the point that Alexander felt they would have easily solved this matter if Lily had been standing
here instead.
Then Anastasia would express what was happening and ask for Lily’s advice.
Thinking about it, Lily had a certain charisma and charm that surpassed him, making people have an
inexplicable sense of trust and reliance on her.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHowever, Lily was captive at this moment, which made Alexander’s heart sink unconsciously.
"Lily..."
Sure enough, Anastasia’s eyes flickered upon hearing Lily’s name.
Anastasia frowned.
Ultimately, she took out her phone without hesitation and scrolled through it before handing it to
Alexander, showing a video clip.
The video contained a blindfolded person.It was Cameron.
Although blindfolded, those who knew him could quickly recognize him.
Cameron's hands were tied behind his back while he sat on a chair.He was not speaking in the video.
One could not even tell whether he was asleep or awake.
Still, he must have been asleep, judging from his drooping head.
It was a short video with very little to see.
Besides the fact that the person in it was Cameron, nothing else was apparent.
After watching the video twice, Alexander raised his head to look at Anastasia.
"So, it’s because of this video?"
"That’s Dad.Can't you recognize him?"
Anastasia questioned with widened eyes.
"I know.I can tell, but Cameron didn't say a thing.Are you sure this isn't someone pretending to be
him?"
Alexander analyzed before continuing, "Also, besides releasing this video, they haven't mentioned
anything else.
"How do you know if your father is truly with them? If he is, why aren't they allowing you to report it to
the police or inform others? They're even aiding in concealing it.What's their purpose?"
Anastasia did not know what to say since she did not think that far.She only saw the video and her
father in that situation, immediately sending her into a spiral.She had hardly slept last night and was in
a daze.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAfter hearing what Alexander said, her mind became much clearer, like a sudden awakening.
"Are you saying the person in the video isn't my father? Then ..where did my father go? There’s no
news about him until now, and he's not answering his phone,"
Anastasia asked, puzzled, "If this person isn’t Dad, what are they trying to do?"
Alexander did not answer.
That question was turning in his head as well.
After a moment of pondering, he asked, "Is there anything else aside from this?"
Anastasia slowly shook her head.
"Oh, right.These people also said my father would return home safely within three days if I didn't call
the police.Otherwise..."
She looked nervous.
"Alex, will they find out now that I've told you about this? Will my father be in danger?"
Alexander finally understood why she was so anxious, trying to maintain a calm facade and hide things
