Find me in your labyrinth (Stella and Jonathan)
Chapter 2212

"I'll go talk to him!" Lydia explained, "My mom is cousins with Mr. Barlow's mother. We're second cousins. Let me talk to him. If he's open to collaboration, I'll handle it. If not, I can persuade him to stop targeting

our company."

Sylvia said calmly, "If it's for the company, there's no need to go!"

Lydia pleaded, "Boss, please let me go. I'm confident I can sort this out."

Gabriel, who was sitting on the couch, suddenly looked up and said in a cool tone, "Baron is unpredictable, he might not care about family ties. I advise against it!"

Lydia insisted, "Our families used to be close, and I played with my cousin when we were kids. I think he'll listen to me!"

She continued, "Boss, if I can seal this deal, I want to lead the project, and I'd like the commission to be mine, is that okay?"

Sylvia turned to Gabriel.

Gabriel, with a stern face, said, "I still think you shouldn't go."

Lydia was persistent, "I really can do this. Even if the deal doesn't go through, considering our family connection, I don't think Mr. Barlow would harm me. Boss, please let me go. I really need the money, I desperately need this commission."

Milanda said softly, "Boss, maybe we should let Lydia try!"

Sylvia, looking into Lydia's eager eyes, slowly nodded, "Alright, you go. But call us immediately if there's trouble. Remember, the deal isn't the priority. We can always make more money, but your safety comes first!"

Lydia's face lit up with joy and confidence, "I understand. I'll go right now and bring back good news!"

She nodded to Sylvia and quickly turned to leave.

Milanda followed her out, anxiously reminding, "Be careful!"

Sylvia stood up, closed the door, and turned to sit opposite Gabriel, asking, "Do you think I shouldn't have agreed?" Gabriel, with dark eyes, said, "It's fine. If Baron is really looking for trouble, we'll be ready for him before nightfall!"

Sylvia smirked, "Don't argue with me, let me handle it!"

Gabriel agreed, "I'm with you!"

Sylvia smiled, "Of course!"

Since she was eight, he had been her rock!

An hour later, Milanda came in, knocking frantically, "Boss, I can't reach Lydia. Her phone is off, but it can't be because of a dead battery. I specifically told her to check her battery and stay in touch!" Sylvia's expression darkened. She pulled out her phone to call Baron, removing his number from the blacklist.

Before she could dial, her phone rang.

It was Lydia!

Sylvia quickly answered, "Lydia?"

Lydia's voice was filled with terror, "Boss, help me, please!"

Sylvia, hearing she was in a car, asked, "Where are you?"

"I don't know!" Lydia panicked, "I don't know where to go!"

Sylvia, sensing Lydia wasn't secretly calling but rather was being coerced, calmly said, "Is Baron with you? Give him the phone!"

Lydia just kept crying, "Mr. Barlow said you could track me down!"

Her voice was full of fear, "He said not to call the cops, to come alone. Boss, I don't want to drag you into this, please don't come "

Her words were cut off by what sounded like a slap, followed by her screams, then silence.

Milanda, pale with anger, said, "Baron, he's too cruel. Isn't Lydia his cousin? How could he do this!"
