Right now, the phone is on speaker mode, and everyone in the living room can hear the conversation.
âSo Valda, once the money is received tomorrow, I will naturally tell you where the child is, but only you are allowed to come and take the child away, no one else can follow.â Phoebeâs voice came out ominously from the phone.
âOkay,â Valda replied. âI can come alone, but right now I need to know if Jasmine is safe. Otherwise, the ransom wonât be transferred to the designated account. Unless you have a video call with me right now and show me Jasmine.â
âBelieve it or not, itâs up to you. Anyway, we wonât get the money tomorrow, and this child shouldnât expect to live!â Phoebe said viciously.
At this moment, Jason stepped forward and spoke to Phoebe on the other end of the phone, âIf you really want money, just let me know. My daughter is safe and sound now, and all I want is for her to be safe. Money is not a problem. But if anything happens to my daughter, I will not let you go, even if you flee to another country!â
Jasonâs threat made Phoebe stay silent on the other end of the phone. After a moment, she finally responded with a simple âOkay. Before the transaction tomorrow, Iâll show you what you want to see.â
After finishing speaking, the call ended.
Due to the short amount of time and current technological limitations, it is difficult to track down the specific location.
On Phoebeâs side, it was clear that she was aware of this and kept the timing within this specific time frame.
Jason looked at Valda and said, âThey want you to pick up the kids tomorrow?â
âYes,â Valda nodded, âI didnât expect Phoebe to call me.â
After all, among the people present, she and Jasmine could be considered the ones with the least close relationship. Therefore, logically speaking, even if someone had to go pick up the child, it wouldnât be her turn.
However, Phoebe was designated and only she can pick up the child!
Jason pursed his lips and said, âCanât it be someone else?â
Valda shook her head and said, âBrian also told Phoebe earlier that he would pick up the children tomorrow, but they rejected his offer!â
So, it means that Valda is the only option for picking up the child!
Jason squinted his eyes, what does this mean? If those two women had made various arrangements beforehand, then they must have had a reason for choosing Valda to pick up the child, rather than doing it randomly.
âTomorrow when you go to pick up your child, it could be dangerous. Why donât you find someone to dress up as you and go pick up your child instead?â Brian suddenly suggested.
âPhoebe and Whitney both know me, but for such a short time. Where can they find someone who looks like me that they canât tell apart?â Valda said. âIâm going to pick up the kids tomorrow!â
Brian wanted to say something else, but Jason beat him to it and said, âLetâs leave it at that. Iâll arrange for some people to discreetly follow Valda and ensure her safety.â
After all, the other party has made this request, and currently, there is no other feasible solution.
After saying these words, Jason looked at Valda solemnly and said, âValda, by helping me this time, you have done me a huge favor. The Reed family will do everything in our power to help you in the future, no matter what kind of help you need.â
This is Jasonâs promise, and in Emerald City, how many people can get a promise like this from him!
If someone else had obtained it, they would probably be overjoyed, but Valda simply said, âYou donât have to feel like you owe me anything. Grace and I are friends, so itâs only natural for me to help in a situation like this!â
Grace approached Valda with gratitude and tightly grabbed her hand. âValda, thank you, really thank you! I know⦠if you went to pick up the child, there might be danger, but⦠but Iâ¦â
