Sweet Subterfuge

Chapter 984

Bethany’s death was still tied to Kevan.

It all started from the day Cody escaped.

Although Soaring Corporation had not been doing well these past few years and eventually went bankrupt. Cody had been in power for some time. He still managed to raise a few supporters.

As a result, Cody got news beforehand and escaped with his luggage before the police arrived at his home.

The police put out an arrest warrant and Keyan got his people to look for Cody too.

But before Cody could be found, Kevan got a phone call from Cody first.

Cody’s voice was harsh and arrogant. “Kevan Rogers! Your daughter is in my hands! If you want her to live, prepare 100 million in cash and a car, and park that at number 28 on Peach Lane!

“Do not fucking call the police! Once I get the money and the car, I will let your daughter gol

“Don’t touch her.” Kevan pretended to be panicked to keep Cody there. “I can do the money and the car. I just want Bethany to come back safely.” Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.

“You have hall the day! Before midnight I want to see both things!” Cody hung up after saying that.

Kevan, of course, was not going to take the money to get Bethany back.

He promised Cody just so he could slow Cody down, and the man would not be able to find another victim

Kevan called Bethany’s nanny Erst. I look a long while for someone to answer.

The person who answered was a nurse from the emergency department.

She said that the nanny was attacked by robbers who entered the house, and the nanny was currently undergoing emergency treatment at the hospital

The nurse did not mention Bethany, but since the robbers had already broken into the house and hurt the nanny, it seemed that Bethany was realy with Cody.

Kevan called the police at once. The police drove and parked an empty car at number 28 Peach Lane, and they also prepared an ambush around the place. However, they did not catch Cody, but a random person who was paid by Cody to drive the car away.

After that, Cody called Kevan again. This time, he was angrier. “Fuck you Kevan, you backstabbed me!”

Kevan said nothing.

“Fine then, I guess you don’t want your daughter anymore!” Cody did something as Bethany’s terrible wails could be heard.

“Daddy! Save mel Daddy! I’m scared!”

Bethany had experienced being kidnapped before this, so she knew what pain was waiting for her. That was why her reaction was bigger

than before.

“Daddy! I don’t want to get beaten anymore! It hurts, Daddyl

Even if Kevan was a heartless guy, he could not bear hearing such things at this moment. “Cody Rogers, you’re a plece of shit!” he snarled

through gritted teeth.

“Am I the one who’s the piece of shit or you are?” Cody laughed coldly. “The one who’s letting his daughter be in danger while refusing to pay a single cent to save her is you, Kevan Rogers!”

“Il pay.” Kevan said. “Go on, then. How should I give you the money?”

Cody was a wanted man, and his bank accounts were all suspended. He was a suspicious guy, so he would never let others help take the money for him.

“It’s still 100 million in cash and a car. But I want you to send it all in person. If you bring someone else

“I'll go alone.” Kevan agreed. “The address?”

Cody announced a new address. That was a farm–style resort built by Soaring Corporation in the suburbs of the city. However, as the funding was not enough, this project was only completed hallway before slopping. It had been like this even till now.

That place was very spacious, and there was nothing there that could block anything ofl. Kevan brought people. Cody would be able to see them at once.

“Fine. I’ll go gather the money, I will give it to you at about 9:00 am tomorrow.” Kevan said.

Cody warned him. “Don’t fucking play games with me, asshole. Otherwise, be prepared to receive your daughter’s corpse!”

Kevan really got 100 million in cash.
