Luke gazed at the photos on his phone before instructing his driver to continue driving.

Meanwhile, three women sat at a table, engrossed in conversation. "Well, we haven't heard anything about her," one of them said. The second woman's response was laced with intrigue. "Flora must have hidden her somewhere or is hiding something. She is good at that."

The conversation came to an abrupt halt as Flora appeared, walking past the table before doubling back. "How's your pregnant daughter doing?" she asked one of the women, her tone sweet but her eyes glinting with mischief.

The other two women exchanged shocked glances, while Flora's inquiry seemed to disappoint the woman being asked. Flora's smile grew wider as she sauntered over to sit down.

In a different part, Lisa was alone at home, deciding to take out the trash. As she approached the bin outside, she was suddenly ambushed by four men. Before she could react, they overpowered her, and she was kidnapped.

Lisa stumbled forward, blindfolded and led by unseen hands. She yelled and threatened, demanding to be released. When the blindfold was finally removed, she found herself in a luxurious room, seated in a plush chair. Her gaze fell upon Luke, who looked distinctly annoyed.

"You're going to name your price for what you're about to do," Luke said, his tone detached.

Lisa's shock gave way to outrage. "You're the one who published that lie, and now you've kidnapped me and offering me money? What next, are you going to kill me?"

When Luke didn't respond, he called in Desmond. Desmond's explanation was laced with sincerity, but also a veiled threat regarding Tina. For once, Desmond's usual composure was ruffled, and he seemed almost excited.

Lisa turned inward, her thoughts a jumbled mix of fear and confusion. "What am I doing?" she whispered to herself, her mind racing with questions and doubts.

Tina returned home to find the place in disarray, and a frantic search for Lisa ensued. With no answers forthcoming, Tina decided to take matters into her own hands and began tidying up.

Hours later, Lisa walked in, looking polished and composed. Tina turned to her, her expression stern. "You've really been something else ever since you returned. Mom will be back soon, and you'll need to explain yourself to her."

Lisa tried to interject, her tone conspiratorial. "Tina, you won't believe it. I got kidnapped today."

Tina's response was a laugh, laced with sarcasm. "Yes, of course you did." She served dinner, and they ate in silence.
