Chapter 88
Rose shivered. Tears rippled in her pair of obsidian black eyes. At that moment, it was as if she had lost her judgment and was being swept around by the winds aimlessly.
Josephine could not bear to see Rose in that state. She clenched her teeth and said, "Or maybe let's just wait a little longer. If their motive is money, I still have a large sum that I cheated off from my big brother. It should be enough to feed those kidnappers’ appetites."
Rose was feeling lost, and her mind was in a mess. She could not decide if she should seek help from Jay.
Rose's hunch was correct. The kidnappers had abducted Baby Robbie for money.
However, when the kidnappers forced Baby Robbie to give them his parent’s phone number, Baby Robbie got worried that these kidnappers would frighten his weak and helpless mommy, thus he gave them Jay’s phone number without hesitation.
When the kidnappers dialed Jay's number to demand ransom, Jay and Jenson had made peace and were having their meal at the dining table.
His phone rang. Without giving much thought, Jay picked up the phone to hear a voice that had been processed through a voice changer. It creepily said, " Your son is in our hands. If you want him alive, bring u
s money in exchange for him. 100 million. I'll kill him i f the money is short even by a cent."
Jay took a look at Jenson who was safe and sound. The corner of his lips curved into a smile. "You've got the wrong number!" Then, he unceremoniously hung u p the call.
Jenson overheard what the kidnappers said. He was s o frightened that his chopsticks and noodles fell to the ground.
Jay saw the fear in his son's expression. He put down his cutleries and walked over to comfort Jenson. "It's just a call from scammers. They do not have any hostages." Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
Who could expect that Jenson would suddenly run out without a care? Jay looked dumbfounded at Jenson whose reaction was out of the norm. Then, he quickly gave chase.
"Jens, where are you going?”
Jenson ran as fast as he could in the direction of Exuberant City. Jay found it preposterous. 'Is this boy s o frightened that he needs to seek his mommy for comfort?'
Jay's long legs soon allowed him to reach Jenson. In one quick swoop, he picked up Jenson. With defeat and helplessness, he said, "If you’re heading to Exuberant City to look for her, Daddy will drive you there."
Jenson nodded vehemently.
Jay drove the car while Jenson sat at the back. He said one word, "Quick!"
Jay was feeling frustrated. He did not want to send Jenson over to that woman he loathed so much, but somehow, he could not control himself from stepping on the gas pedal.
His car had just entered the entrance of Exuberant City when he saw Josephine carrying Zetty. They were stumbling as they ran out. Rose was with them too. Josephine saw Jay's car and thought of him as a lifesaver at that moment. When she ran over, Jenson had already opened the door. Josephine carried Zetty into the back seat.
Rose sat at the front passenger seat.
Jay's anger was boiling rapidly. 'Doesn't she know how much I hate her? How dare she get into my car without my permission? Who does she think she is?'
He was about to blow up in anger when he heard Rose's shivering low voice, "Head over to the moat at the Eastern Bridge! Quick."
Jay angrily removed his feet from the accelerator. Just that split second of delay earned him a resounding "drive the car!" from everyone inside.
