Chapter 1350 In The Amusement Park
Chapter 1350 In The Amusement Park
Melissa asked with anxiety, and couldn't help but to clutch Leila's hands. Uneasiness feeling lingered
her, and her senescence worsened it. The evil desire was written all over her face, as she was
desperate to make Sheryl disappear in her family.
"Aunt Melissa, tell me. Who does Charles care about most? Who is the person he can't leave without?"
With the abrupt question, Melissa was confused and baffled as to why Leila would ask such questions.
However, she began to think about these questions.
Although Charles was her son, Melissa was fully aware of her significance to his life. Worst, the person
that her son cared about the most was the one she never favored, making her reluctant to mention her
name. It was Sheryl, the woman to whom her son gave immense love and affection. As Charles
candidly displayed his feelings, everyone was jealous yet impressed by how he took care of Sheryl.
"His children, of course. He cares about Clark and Shirley very much,"
Melissa answered, playing safe and denial. Curiously, she waited for Leila's further explanation. The
anxiousness inside her didn't subside.
"You're right, Aunt Melissa. The kids are the ones Charles cares about most. Imagine this. Do you think
Charles will forgive Sheryl if she loses the children?"
A naughty grin almost ground her teeth with this question. Her smile with lurking viciousness was
deceitful. No passerby could tell the wickedness that Leila possessed right away.
In pure disbelief with Leila's question, Melissa looked at her. Her mouth was left open, as she didn't
know what to say. Feeling frightened, she was out of words.
"What do you mean, Leila? What are you going to do?" Even though Melissa tried to hide her fears,
Leila could see her quivering.
'What a scaredy-cat! This pathetic old woman!'
Seeing Melissa's reaction, Leila couldn't help but look down on Melissa. Her disdain towards Melissa
grew stronger. Leila hadn't done anything to her, yet it scared Melissa already. Melissa was too coward
to kick Sheryl out of the Lu family.
Of course, Leila concealed the disdain she felt towards Melissa. Favorably, hiding feelings was her
specialty. After all, Melissa was an alas to her plans to make it successful. She had no choice but to
patiently explain, "What I mean is to hire someone to kidnap the children. Then, we will blame Sheryl
for it. She is responsible for taking care of the children, especially Clark, but if she loses him, it will be a
disaster for her."
Melissa was about to argue, but Leila interrupted, "Of course, the children will not get hurt. It will be a
pure act. Nothing will happen to Clark."
Scared quotes lingered Melissa as she heard the word "kidnap." Hesitantly, she deliberated for a while
on herself.
'What if those kidnappers hired by Leila betray us? What if they blackmail us and hurt Clark?' she
thought, feeling baffled and worried.
No matter what happened, Melissa would never put Clark's life at risk. Although Clark was Sheryl's son
and she didn't like Sheryl at all, he was still Melissa's grandchild. Her hatred for Sheryl was the gravest,
but she couldn't sacrifice her biological grandson's safety. After all, there was always an accident. No
one could guarantee how things would turn out.
"No, I won't let some random people kidnap Clark, even if it is just an act. I can't afford to lose Clark.
And how am I supposed to face Charles and continue my life if something truly happens to Clark? It's
too risky,"
Melissa said, shaking her head to deny Leila's idea.
Melissa was absurd. But she wasn't foolish enough to put danger on Clark. The apple of her eye was
him. Clark was the one who would take over the family business when he grew up. He must not have
any accident, even if it was a faked kidnap. What if he was traumatized, and suffered from PTSD? The Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.
stakes were too high.
Even though Leila made it clear that it would be an act, Melissa remained stubborn. The old lady's
paranoia irritated Leila.
"But it is the only way to make Charles hate Sheryl. He cares about his children so much, and if the
kids are missing, he will blame it for Sheryl. I am sure they will have a dispute. They will keep fighting
until their relationship becomes tainted. By then, it is our chance. We can make use of the opportunity
and drive a wedge between them. Otherwise, we will never be able to kick Sheryl out of the family,"
she said impatiently and annoyed. She began to raise her voice, continuing to persuade Melissa.
"I don't know. I need time to think it through..."
Melissa wavered. 'Is that going to work?' It was for sure that she would never put Clark's life at risk, but
what if it was just Shirley?
Kidnapping Shirley was better. However, what if Charles found out the truth? She couldn't imagine what
her son's wrath would be.
No, he would never find out the truth! This plan would remain in secrecy, buried with their graves.
There would be no single trace and evidence of the plan.
"Leila, can you ensure that nothing will happen to the children during the kidnapping?"
Melissa asked with fixed gaze on Leila.
"Aunt Melissa, you can be rest assured. I promise the kids will be safe and sound. Trust me with this
one, Aunt Melissa."
Seeing Melissa's hesitance, Leila promised Melissa determinedly.
Melissa finally made up her mind and opened her mouth after a long pause, "Well, Charles loves
Shirley as much as he loves Clark. If there is a need to do this, we can kidnap Shirley. Clark is my
eldest grandson. I can't put him at risk."
Rolling her eyes in secret, Leila couldn't believe that Melissa would still risk one of them, instead of two.
The way Melissa addressed Clark sounded like he was the most important person in her life. But Leila
couldn't remember the last time Melissa played with Clark. Melissa was a hypocrite. She cared for
herself most.
However, Leila didn't argue anymore. Melissa was right. Clark's love and care towards two kids were
the same. Therefore, no matter who they kidnapped, Charles would blame Sheryl.
So Leila agreed and said, "It's settled then. I will make some arrangements. Aunt Melissa, please be
careful in front of Charles and Sheryl. We can't stick our neck out."
Melissa nodded her head in return. There was no turning back. They were desperate to kick Sheryl
away from their lives.
At this moment, Leila noticed that Sheryl was walking towards them with the two children. She hid in a
corner, as it would spoil their plan if she showed herself to them. Before Leila left, she gave Melissa a
look. Leila wanted Melissa to cover her later.
Leila took out her phone and called someone in the corner, "Hello?"
On the other end of the line, it was a man. Leila met him before she went into prison. They were good
friends. The man got caught and went into prison before. Upon hearing his release from prison lately,
Leila took advantage of the situation as the man also lacked money. So when she asked him to help
her and promised that she would pay him for doing this, he accepted her offer without hesitation.
"Are we going to take action now, babe? My hands are itching for thrill."
Hearing the word "babe" from him made Leila sick. Even though she knew that he had a thing for her
long ago, she shrugged away disgust thoughts. She decided to make use of his affection and asked
him to do her a favor.
Honestly, Leila came up with the plan for a long while. She would still execute it without Melissa's
consent, but the risks of getting caught would be high. She also had already asked the man to go to the
amusement park to stand by.
"Yes, you can play it by ear now. The little girl is your target. When the kid is alone, it is your chance.
And please, do not leave any trace."
"Noted, wait for my good news, honey. And I will be expecting a grand reward later."
Leila didn't respond and hung up the phone. She walked back to Melissa, pretending that nothing had
happened.
"Clark and Shirley, did you have fun today? Should we go home now?"
Sheryl asked as soon as they sat down on the bench. She waited for the children to get tired before
asking them to go home.
"Okay, let's go home. But next time, I want to come here again with Dad. The amusement park was so
fun!"
Shirley exclaimed while putting her hand on her chest. Her excitement made her even more adorable.
