His Real Wedded Bride

Chapter 1355 A Little Request

"Don't yell. Don't yell at the kid. We believe you." The kidnapper's booming voice scared Sheryl. She

worried that he might truly do something to hurt Shirley, so she said that anxiously, in an attempt to

calm him down.

"Okay, I will stop yelling at her," the kidnapper replied. He then smiled viciously at Shirley, like a demon.

He stared at her like a lion staring at his prey, which made Shirley shiver.

"Your parents are listening from the other end of the line. Don't you want to say hi to them? Ah, what do

they call you? Shirley, is that right?" the kidnapper whispered in Shirley's ear, scaring her.

After Shirley knew that her parents could hear her, her fear finally burst out. Tears fell down her cheeks

endlessly.

"Mommy, Daddy, please come and save me. I am so scared! It's so dark here and there is a…" The

kidnapper didn't let Shirley finish. "Enough! Shut the fuck up!" he interrupted.

When Charles and Sheryl heard Shirley's familiar sweet voice, their eyes welled up immediately.

"Don't worry, Shirley. We are coming to save you." Charles sobbed.

Sheryl sighed in relief when she heard Shirley. At least, her daughter was still alive. Sheryl lost all her

strength and leaned on Charles' shoulder. She bit his clothes and dared not to make any sound, afraid

that she would piss the kidnapper off.

"So, Mr. and Mrs. Lu, do you believe me now? Your dear little princess is with me," the kidnapper said,

a broader smile on his face.

"We believe you. Please don't hurt our kid. No matter what you ask for, we will meet your requirements.

We promise we will do whatever you ask us to do," Charles said anxiously. His back was now soaked

in sweat. It wasn't a business negotiation. He could always start over if he lost a business negotiation.

But this was different. He couldn't afford to lose Shirley. The stakes were too high. Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

If he lost in this negotiation, he might lose his dear baby forever. He would live in regret and sadness

for the rest of his life. He couldn't forgive himself if he made such a mistake.

"Well then, I appreciate your frankness, Mr. Lu. Listen, you need to pay ten million ransom the day after

tomorrow. I will tell you the place later. Of course, do not call the cops. If you follow my instructions, I

promise you that I will give Shirley back safe and sound. However, if you break you promise and call

the cops, then be ready to say goodbye to your daughter forever. I swear, you will receive a dead body

instead."

"I promise that we won't call the police, as long as you don't hurt our daughter. Otherwise, I swear to

God, I will hunt you down the four corners of the earth and make you pay for what you have done,"

Charles responded in a determined tone, not sounding as threatened at all.

"Sure, if you listen to me, I will keep my end of the bargain."

The kidnapper glanced at Shirley and smiled silently. Looking around, he realized how dusty the place

was.

"Mr. Lu, it's settled then. Please keep your word. Or I can assure you that you will never see your

daughter again and regret it for the rest of your life. I will text you the place later. Bring the money and

meet me there at ten in the evening the day after tomorrow. I will return your daughter to you as soon

as I get my money."

"Okay, I promise. Can you let me talk to Shirley for a few minutes, please?" Charles asked anxiously

before the kidnapper could hung up. He sounded nervous and worried, but it was worth a shot.

The kidnapper was thrilled upon hearing Charles' voice, as even an elite businessman like Charles had

to beg on him. What a great satisfaction! He felt all powerful.

But he hadn't expected that things would go so smoothly today. He didn't know that this little girl was so

priceless. Earlier today, he was only thinking about doing Leila a favor and returning the kid later

without anyone noticing. But with how things were going, he decided to change his mind.

It was easy money. Why would he give it up?

Thinking about the ten million ransom, the kidnapper got very excited. He had never seen so much

money in his life. He even started to plan how he would be spending his money. With such amount, he

could live lavishly in the world of wine and women. More importantly, he could finally prove himself to

those who looked down on him.

So when Charles asked him, he immediately agreed his little request.

"Sure, a few words won't hurt. Why not?" He gave the phone to Shirley.

Shirley blinked, as if she couldn't believe the bad man standing in front of her. But she heard her

parents on the other end of the line, her attention focused on the phone.

"Shirley, honey," Charles started. "Daddy and Mommy will be there to pick you up the day after

tomorrow. Before that day, please don't be scared, okay? And please stop crying. Remember we are

with you all the time. When you come home, Daddy and Mommy will give you a big surprise, okay?"

Charles tried his best to comfort his daughter. He didn't want Shirley to be traumatized. He only wanted

her to be happy forever. She was so young, her little angel. He would try his best to keep all the

darkness and evil in the world away from her.

"Okay. I will wait for Daddy and Mommy to come and pick me up. I miss all of you. I miss Clark too."

Shirley held back her tears and sobbed, trying her best to be strong.

Sheryl's heart broke into pieces when she heard Shirley's cry. Shirley had always been the optimistic

one. Her smile was like a sunflower brightening their days. She kept bringing happiness to people

around her. She had never heard her cry this hard.

How Sheryl wished she was the one who got kidnapped. She wanted to take the bullet for her

daughter. She didn't want Shirley to go through all this.

But just as Sheryl was about to say something to Shirley, the kidnapper hung up the phone abruptly.

Sheryl was startled and shocked. She stood frozen and speechless.
