Lillian was shocked to the core, unable to believe what she heard. Her father was kidnapped?
"What is it, Lillian?" Natasha asked.
"Nothing!" she assured her mother. "I'm...I'm talking to dad right now. He'll be late. Let me see what happened."
Before Natasha could ask anything else, Lillian rushed to her room. She locked the door behind her, panicking. Her father was kidnapped by a loan shark? It was too much to process for her.
"What happened, uncle?" she whispered. "Where's dad?"
"Your dad took out a loan of two million dollars from a loan shark named Toby Yan!" Jonathan said in an urgent tone. "Toby works for the infamous mafia leader, Lucas Hao! He gave your dad the ultimatum to return the money by tonight but Howard failed to amas the amount! Toby took him away in a van just a few minutes ago."
Lillian was now scared. Her hands were shaking in fear and she was unsure of what to do. Tw million dollars? How was she going to get that much money in such a short time?
