The people seated at the back of the car exchanged glances.
After pondering for a moment, the man said over the phone, "500 thousand in cash, not a cent less." "Deal!" Christopher said, "Givethe address. I'll immediately send the cash, and you'll hand her to us on the spot." Upon seeing him agree so readily, the man changed his mind. "Seems like you really dote on this niece of yours. I want to change the price." "Don't push your luck," Christopher said coldly.
"What do you mean by that? Your niece is very valuable. How could she only be worth 500 thousand dollars? I want five million." "Sure, I'll give it to you." Christopher just wanted Rosalie to be safe.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe man was in disbelief over how easy-going Christopher was. "You're agreeing so readily to my request. Are you calling the police?" "I have plenty of money. The only thing I care about right now is my niece's safety," Christopher said as he suppressed his anger. "No matter how much you want, the premise is that my niece remains unharmed. Since you abducted her, you should know her background and should have been smarter. She has a bunch of powerful and influential people backing her up. If I find her harmed in any way after she comes back home, I guarantee you that not just you, but all your family and children will be implicated." "Damn it, are you threatening me?" the man said furiously.
"I'm just talking terms with you," Christopher said. "I trust you're a smart man. If you're doing this just for the money, there's no need to go to such extremes. I'll give you the money, and you'll hand her over at once. You flee, and this will be the end of it. There's no need to blow things up in the heat of the moment. Smart kidnappers always keep their hostages safe. That's the only way they can get the ransom money." "Dude, don't talk to him for too long. We could get into an accident," someone else reminded the man.
The man pondered for a moment before saying, "I'll contact you again. If you dare call the police on us, not only will I kill your niece, but I'll even let my brothers loose on her before I do so!" With that, he hung up and smashed the phone with a hammer before throwing it out of the car window. "Haha," the man sneered as he grabbed Rosalie's hair. "You're worth so much money. Your aunt gave us a huge gift." Rosalie felt a piercing pain in her skull, but she didn't yell out loud. She knew that the more agitated she got and the louder she yelled, the more savage these people would get. It was hard to tell what they would do to her.
The stench from the man's mouth was so bad, it made Rosalie retch. She suppressed her disgust and said, "Yes, I am a huge gift to you. If I remain unharmed, you'll get lots of money." "Hmph." The man released his grip over Rosalie's hair. "Bitch, you're doomed if we don't get the money." After hanging up, the assistant immediately said to Christopher the location signal got cut off, think he smashed the phone." The expression on Christopher's face turned grim. Just then, Sebastian walked over hurriedly.
"What happened?" He asked.
Christopher didn't want Sebastian worrying, so he said, "Nothing, I..." "Don't hide it from me. What happened to Rose? Tell me!" Sebastian must have heard something, and Christopher had to no choice but to tell the whole truth to him.
Sebastian almost fainted upon hearing that Rosalie was kidnapped. "So Rose contacted you, but didn't think of contacting me?" Christopher explained, "Perhaps because you lost your memories? It's also more helpful for her to contact me. I can..." "Who could be more helpful than her husband?" Sebastian wasn't jealous of Christopher, but he was bothered by the fact that he wasn't the one.
Rosalie thought of at the most critical moment. Did she really care about him? "Seb," Christopher said solemnly, "must you be so calculative about that at this point in time?" Christopher's words pulled him out of his thoughts. "You're right, I vol.ne shouldn't be calculative about this.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmUncle, we've got to find a way to rescue her."
Christopher said, "We'll divide and hm conquer. Go prepare five million! е dollars and 'Il dispatch a team." Sebastian nodded. "No problem."
Saving Rosalie was the priority now.
Anything else other than that could wait Sebastian then left to prepare the money.
Christopher picked up his phone, and dialed a number. "Hey Wilson. I need ve your help for something important." Ashburn >
