Chapter 876:
Albin was sprawled on the bed, exhausted, his back against a wooden wardrobe. Several empty wine bottles lay at his feet.
“Shut up. What do you know?” Albin snapped. “Wealth comes from danger. Besides, he told me the boy lives in the city and his father runs a huge business. He’s the only heir p>
He picked at his teeth with a toothpick, then flicked it onto the floor.
“He told me that as long as we kidnap this boy, we’ll never have to worry about money again. Once we get the cash and get rid of the kid, we’ll go abroad and live the good life. Who’s going to find us?” Albin chuckled darkly.
Candace frowned when she realized they planned to sell the boy for money.
Another man—bald and sitting in a chair—spoke up. “Albin, that’s the boy. But who’s the girl? Are we being played p>
Albin waved him off. “The girl is baggage. She saw me taking him out of the park and almost ruined everything. If I’d left her behind, she could’ve caused trouble later. So I brought her too. She’s pretty, and I can get a good price for her from our buyer p>
He pushed himself up, words slightly slurred. “Alright. Let’s go see them. Don’t make too much noise, and don’t kill them by accident p>
He clambered off the bed drunkenly, bottles clinking as they rolled across the floor.
Candace quickly stepped away from the door and forced an innocent expression.
When Albin and the others came out, they only glanced at her briefly, then ignored her as they headed toward the cabin where the children were locked up.
Candace waited until they were far enough away, then followed. That was when she noticed one of them had brought a black wolfdog.
She didn’t know what they planned to do with it, but fear tightened in her chest. Worried for the boy, she crept after them and peered through the cabin window.
Inside, the little girl was curled up in the corner of the bed. Rupert sat beside her, stoic and frowning.

“Will we be able to go back home?” the little girl whispered, her voice trembling with fear. Of course, anyone her age would be terrified in a situation like this.
“Don’t be afraid. Someone will save us,” Rupert replied, his lips pressed into a tight line.
“You two are so naive. You really think someone’s coming for you?” Albin stumbled in with his henchmen, a mocking grin stretched across his face.
They dragged a dog into the tiny, dim cabin.
“Who are you people? Let us go!” Rupert clenched his fists. Even restrained, he stepped in front of the girl protectively, meeting Albin’s gaze without flinching. Then his eyes narrowed at the dog being led into the room.
Albin smirked. The ferocious dog strained in his grip, staring at the children with the hungry excitement of a wild animal.
“Who are we?” Albin echoed. “Kid, blame your family for offending someone dangerous. You’ll stay here until we get the money from your family. After that, we’ll send you away p>
