The Contract Said No Strings Attached (Charlotte) novel Chapter 407

Noah continued, “Darcy, when it comes to business, trust is everything. But to get that chip from me, you actually had someone kidnap me? You’ve got a lot of nerve! Since that’s how you want to play it, there’s no reason for us to keep talking.”

Darcy panicked the moment he heard that and rushed to explain, “No, no, N, you’ve got it all wrong! I swear, it wasn’t me—I never sent anyone to kidnap you!”

Noah let out a cold laugh. “Funny, because both Borg and Cedric claim they’re working for you.”

Borg and Cedric froze at how casually Noah was confronting Darcy. Sweat was already pouring down their faces, and they both looked ready to fall apart.

Meanwhile, on the other end of the line, Darcy was trying to keep his tone polite. “N, do me a favor and hand the phone to them. I’ll handle this myself.”

Noah shot Borg a look, signaling him to pick up the phone.

Borg’s hands were shaking as he answered, his voice barely steady. “Hello, Darcy…”

But before he could say another word, Darcy exploded. “You two idiots! Who told you to kidnap N? Are you trying to ruin my business on purpose?”

“It’s not like that, Darcy—” Borg started, but Darcy cut him off, furious. “Listen to me, both of you. Let N go, right now! If you lay a finger on him, I swear I’ll make you regret it.”

Darcy’s threats sent a chill down Borg’s spine. He could barely get the words out. “Darcy, it’s just a misunderstanding, we were only—”

Darcy interrupted again. “I don’t care what your excuse is. Let him go. Now.”

At that, Cedric snatched the phone, desperate to defend himself. “Darcy, it’s not what you think! We only grabbed him so you could make some money! Don’t let this kid fool you. If you want that chip, we could just steal it and sell it to Dylan—why bother paying for it?”
