Chapter 122

“I don’t care who you are, and let’s just talk about the conditions. What do you want in order for you to release my son?” Nicholas asked.

“Good, you’re straightforward. I like dealing with people like you who don’t beat around the bush. Ten million in cash to be put in several bags, and I guarantee that nothing will happen to the young master.

If not, well, as you know, we are not some good Samaritan.”

Upon hearing that, Kieran who was standing nearby shouted angrily, “We can give you the money, but you better make sure that Gregory is safe and sound! Otherwise, don’t blame us for what we will do.”

Nicholas tried to calm his enraged brother. He then said over his phone, “Okay, give me the address.”

Within seconds, he received a few messages containing different addresses. The kidnapper then said, “You better not have any tricks up your sleeves, President Sawyer, or else I cannot promise that Young Master will not be hurt.”

“I can agree to your request, but let me talk to Gregory now,” he requested.

“Not a problem. Young Master, they’re asking for you.” The man on the other side of the phone ordered Gregory to answer the phone while tearing off the tape on his mouth.

“Daddy,” Gregory said after getting the phone. His voice, which was originally mellow, now seemed hoarse as a result of not speaking for a long period of time.

Nicholas’ brows furrowed when he heard Gregory’s voice. “Are you alright? Did they hurt you?”

“I’m okay. They didn’t hurt me.”

Gregory wanted to say more, but the man in black took away the phone before he could. “President Sawyer, do you believe me now? I’m not a patient person. Get me the money within an hour.”

“Okay, don’t hurt him.”

After ending the call, Nicholas said to his assistant, “Prepare ten million.”

“Yes, sir,” replied Edward. He then left right away to get the money.

“Kieran, check with the police if they have found anything,” ordered Nicholas while looking at Kieran.

To him, paying them did not imply that he would simply let them off. Kidnappers never kept their promises, so even if they got the money, they would most likely kill the hostage in order to conceal their identity. Thus, before that, he must do everything that was possible to stall them.

Nothing was allowed to happen to Gregory, and at the same time, these men must pay their dues. A cunning person would have more than one hideout, and these kidnappers would never stay and wait in just one place. Even if they had dictated five different locations, these locations were only given to distract Nicholas’ own people, and Gregory would most probably not be in any of them. To locate Gregory, they needed to use other ways.

After a while, Kieran came back to Nicholas, looking depressed. “Nick, the police attempted to locate the kidnapper’s signal area during the call earlier, but they failed.”

Tessa’s face turned pale immediately after she heard what was said. Failure in locating the area meant that the clues they had obtained with much difficulty came to a halt once again, and that Gregory’s location still remained unknown.

“What should we do now? Even if we pay them the ransom, they’re most likely going to…” Tessa blamed herself for this, and she was on the verge of breaking down.

the chubby and tender little guy called out to her, “Miss Tessa, I want a hug.”

Despite the fact that they had only known each other for a month, she felt deeply for Gregory. She would rather be the one who was kidnapped, and she would never want Gregory to be hurt in any way.

“Tessa, Gregory will be fine. At the very least, they won’t hurt him before they get the money,” Timothy gently comforted.
