Chapter 542
âDo we still prepare the money then?â Dylan returned to the subject at hand. âSince we now know that Ron is the one who kidnapped Bethany, the police can just go over to arrest him now, right?â
Hearing this. Kevan frowned lightly. âYou actually gol someone to ready the money?â
Dylan stared at him in astonishment. âDidnât you just agree to it? He found it strange then-spending one billion to save Codyâs daughter was definitely not something Kevan would do.
Kevan sighed soundlessly. âThat was because Larissa was here.â He did not want to leave her with an impression of him being heartless.
âI thought you would understand me.â He looked at Cylan with great disappointment.
Dylan gritted his teeth and stopped himself from rolling his eyes at him. âIll call them new and tell them to stop gathering the money.â
Once everything was arranged. Dylan asked Kevar, âSo, should Jack go amest him now?â
âNo.â Kevan leaned back against the sola relaxedy, his legs stacked nonchalantly on the edge of the coffee table. He was looking at his phone, finger tapping the screen incessantly while a laint, happy smile could be seen playing about his lips.
âJust keep things hanging I ke this first,â he said.
Dylan peeked over curiously and saw that WhatsApp was open on Kevanâs phone. âAster?â He recognized Asterâs profile picture at once. When he linally got a good look at what the two were chatting about, he nearly rolled his eyes again. âAre you two dumb or something?â
Aster did not know the language of Caldor. When they chatted with him, they either sent video messages or used simple Aldevlar. But now, Kevan had invented a whole new method of chatting with him-stickers.
He and Aster kept sending each other cute stickers. Though there was no correlation between the stickers, they were having a great deal of fun.
While Dylan spoke, Kevan sent a cute kitly slicker.
âYou donât get itâ His eyes were filled with warmth and happiness. Even his speech had soltened a lot Overwhelmed, Dylan felt momentarily discomfited.
âYeah, yeah, yeah, I donât get anything.â He looked away and sk ipped over the topic of Aster. âIf you keep things hanging like this arenât you afraid that Ron will really do something to Bethany?â
âWhat should I be afraid of? Kevanâs smile had some hints of coldness to it. âBethanyâs safety should be the concern of her biological father.â
Dylan suddenly felt much better-this was the Kevan he knew.
Kevan did not prepare the money at all Hence, he naturally did not follow the kidnapperâs instructions to put the bank card in Central Park.
He started wating at 3 pm, and the kidnapper caled him at 3:30 pm.
âWhereâs the money? he asked angrily.
Kevan put down the pen in his hand and said humbly, though his eyes were flinty. My apologies. Itâs too rushed, I still havenât gotten enough money yetâ
âYou canât f ucking get one bilion in a day? What kind of richest man in town are you?â The kidnapper yelled, âYou get one more day. Same time, same place tomorrow afternoon. If I canât see the money, your daughter is deadâ With that, he slammed the phone and ended the call again.
