She still didn't get it. What on earth did Lane want with her? Was he really after that $20 million ransom?
"Why? I have my reasons!" He took another drag from his cigarette, then without another word, pressed the burning end against the back of Quincy's tied hands!
"Ah!"
A scream tore through the silence, pain searing through her skin as the color drained from Quincy's face.
"Will you shut up? You're hurting my ears," Lane's eyes darkened, his grip tightening on Quincy's jaw, delivering a slap that left her dazed. "Keep your mouth shut!"
Quincy was in shock.
Never in her wildest dreams did she imagine falling into the clutches of someone like him.
"Please, let me go... I'll give you the money, okay?"
Lane laughed.
"You think I'm doing this for $20 million?"
"Then why?" Quincy was at a loss. She couldn't fathom any grudge between them.
"The amount Everett made me lose is way beyond a mere $20 million!" Lane still remembered how he was forced out of Eldorria City.
It was more than just a setback.
And now, it was his turn to strike back. Fate seemed to have opened a door for him.
"You have beef with Mr. Lopez?" Quincy suddenly realized, "But, kidnapping me won't make him bow to you! I'm about to marry him, but it's just an arranged marriage by our families. He doesn't care about me the way he cares about Dorothy!"
"What does that matter?" Lane shrugged, "Quincy, have you forgotten? You have another use."
"..."
If she died here, all her plans would be in vain!
"Lane, Mr. Lane... I know how much you love Dorothy. Can't we work together? Why must I die? If you hate Mr. Lopez, just kill him, and I won't say a word! I can even lure him here for you! Really! He has to listen to me now."
Hearing this, Lane let out a cold laugh.
Narrowing his eyes, he thought of someone.
Someone, who also spoke of partnership!
"I don't trust a word from you women! Heather Garcia also promised to work with me, and look how that turned out?"
He learned from his past mistakes; there was no way he'd fall for that again!
"I'm not like Heather! She was foolish enough to get herself on death row!"

Why didn't Jeffrey call Everett from the office? Lock his door instruct security to not let anyone in and speak to Everett on the phone? Or send him a text giving him a quick summary of what's up and that he's on his way over. That way when he runs into Heather on his way out he informs her Everett already knows....
