?Chapter 1064:
Christina steadied Lauretta at once, urging, “Don’t panic. Let’s think of a solution.”
Lauretta’splexion was utterly bloodless. “You don’t understand. If it’s enemies of the Gomez family who took him, they might kill him…”
“Calm down. Did the kidnappers ask for ransom? If it’s money they’re after, they won’t harm him right away,” Christina said, attempting to reassure her. She knew her words were not entirely reassuring, for some merciless criminals might still kill the hostage after securing the ransom.
With shaking hands, Lauretta retrieved her phone and passed it to Christina. Though she feared Christina might not be able to help, she felt an inexplicable sense of safety in her presence.
Christina scanned the kidnappers’ message, her brows knitting into a sharp frown. “They’ve warned you not to call the police. What do you n to do?”
Lauretta’s fingers clenched tightly, her voice quivering. “I won’t involve the police for now, but I need to inform my family.”
Lauretta analyzed the situation quickly. The kidnappers had threatened to kill her child if the police were alerted, and she dared not take that risk. Once the news spread, her child’s life would be in even greater danger. Yet blindly giving in to their demands could just as easily lead to disaster, for many kidnappers were ruthless ouws with no honor to their word. Her family had some influence, and she would need to arrange discreet countermeasures immediately…
“Alright. Move quickly and quietly inform your family about your son being kidnapped. We have to act under the radar, because there’s a good chance you’re being watched,” Christina said, her eyes locked on theputer in the lounge, her gaze unwavering and fierce. “After that, we’ll need to join forces to track down the kidnappers as fast as possible.”
Christina knew that in moments like these, every second mattered, and dys could cost them dearly.
“Okay!” Lauretta responded without a flicker of doubt, her faith in Christina absolute.<fn2817> Newest update provided by find(?)ovel</fn2817>

Lauretta pulled out a second phone and contacted her family. Following Christina’s precise instructions, she then messaged the kidnappers, asking how much ransom they demanded and how the exchange would be carried out. Lauretta couldn’t quite grasp what Christina was doing. Christina’s fingers darted across the keyboard at lightning speed as she typed and exchanged messages with someone online.
Lauretta held her tongue; she ced herplete trust in Christina and refused to distract her with needless questions.
“I’ve traced their location. Tell your family to send people in quietly,” Christina murmured after a pause, her voice steady. With the Gomez family’s influence, once they had an exact address, securing the rescue was entirely possible.
Lauretta stared at Christina in astonishment, never expecting her to pinpoint the kidnappers so swiftly. “Thank you.”
“You can save your gratitude forter; right now, every second is precious,” Christina replied, her expression grave.
