You Complete Me novel (Skylar and Coralie)

Chapter 412

"Skylar, it's true. I don't know what's going on either!"

Valerie knew that she would be suspected since Skylar was not a fool. However, now that she has no

other choice, she had to convince him.

That was the deal she made with Finley.

It was also the only way for her to get rid of him forever. To conceal her crime, she could only take this

risk.

"So, what do the kidnappers look like? Have you seen them?"

As Skylar spoke, he picked up his phone and was about to call the police.

Valerie immediately went over to stop him when she saw that. "Skylar, are you planning to call the

police? Aren't you afraid that the kidnappers will kill them?"

Skylar narrowed his eyes and looked at Valerie, who panicked. He seemed to realize something.

"Well? What do you think I should do?"

Valeria was a little wary when she faced Skylar.

For a man who could lead a business to success, he was definitely not a fool. He would not be fooled

by her like the others. Coupled with the fact that Skylar already knew her true colors, he would

definitely be suspicious of her.

However, Valerie was afraid that he would call the police. "I think you should wait for the kidnappers to

contact you. If they just wanted ransom money, but then discovered that you have called the police, I'm

afraid Auntie Ford and Miss Chariott will be in danger."

She spoke with sincerity.

"Okay, I won't call the police first, but what if the kidnappers don't contact me?"

Skylar stared at Valerie.

He had sensed that something was fishy from her explanation. At that moment, he fully understood

what was going on!

"I don't know. If they do not contact you, then it's not too late to call the police."

Valerie knew that if she insisted on not letting him call the police, he would definitely doubt her.

"Alright, I'll wait."

Skylar was calm at this time. After confirming that Valerie might know the kidnappers, he was sure that

they would not hurt Lillian and

Coralie.

However... Skylar did not understand why would Valerie, the daughter of the Rae Family, help the

kidnappers.

Could it be that she orchestrated the whole thing? Was the Rae family in a crisis?

Sure enough, it did not take long before Skylar's phone rang.

He looked at the unfamiliar number, glanced at Valerie, and then picked up the call.

"Hello."

"Is this Skylar Holland? Listen here! Your wife and mother are in our hands. You have to pay us 40

million dollars, or we will kill them!"

It was the voice of kidnappers.

"Son! Son! Please save us. They... They beat me without mercy!"

Lillian's sobs came from the other side of the phone. She was crying so hard that she could not speak.

"You! Say something."

After one of the kidnappers urged, Coralie's voice sounded from the phone. "Yeah, I'm here."

She said calmly without asking for help or crying. It seemed that she handed over all the decisions to

Skylar.

It also meant that she had absolute trust in Skylar.

"40 million dollars? You have a big appetite. Do you know how much 40 million dollars is? Do you know

many bags are needed to carry them? Do you have enough people to carry them?"

On the other side of the phone, Skylar 'kindly' analyzed forthem.

He knew at a glance that these kidnappers had not seen much money before.

To bag 40 million dollars, many bags would be needed. They would not be able to take so much money

away.

"We will definitely be able to carry them. Don't talk nonsense!"

"Yeah, son, just give it to them. They are so scary and they hit me repeatedly! They are not even

human!"

Hearing that Skylar didn't promise them immediately, Lillian was scared out of her wits. She was

terrified of dying and even more afraid that the kidnappers would beat her as they did earlier.

Lillian had no idea how much 40 million dollars was. She thought that as long as she was safe, it did

not matter how much money Skylar had to give them. NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

"Yes, if you don't pay us, we will beat them to death!"

The kidnappers echoed.

Coralie was speechless when she saw Lillian's reaction.

She had a concept about money. 40 million dollars was definitely not a small amount. She really did not

want Skylar to pay them that amount of money.

However, she did not dare to speak.

If the kidnappers hit her at that moment, she was afraid that Skylar would act impulsively.

"Well, I will pay you the 40 million dollars. However, I am afraid that all the banks in A City combined do

not have so much cash. I won't be able to raise enough money in a day or two."

"That is your business!"

The kidnapper shouted.

Hearing their words, Skylar continued, "And you have to know that if I take out 40 million cash at once,

I'm afraid the bank's president will be alerted, and even the mayor will be alerted as well. Are you sure

you want that much money?"

Skylar said clearly.

In fact, he was not bargaining, but he wanted to deal with this matter discreetly so as to not alert many

parties.

"What do you mean?"

"You have my wife and my mother in your hands now. They are the two most important women in my

life. Therefore, I am not bargaining with you. I want to deal with this matter discreetly. But 40 million

dollars? For such a big amount, it will attract attention from many sides."

Skylar analyzed the situation for the kidnappers.

It was obvious that the kidnappers were all uneducated gangsters. They were dumbfounded after they

heard Skylar's words.

All of a sudden, they felt that Skylar's words were reasonable. They stood there, staring at each other.

In the end, they looked at the phone. "Then tell us, how much money would be considered low profile?"

After one kidnapper said so, the kidnapper next to him immediately retorted, "You have fallen into his

trap. We have these two women with us. How can we lower the ransom money?"

"Don't you think that his words made sense? If we are arrested by the police, do you want to spend the

rest of your lives in prison?"

"Even so, how can we lower the price? We took such a huge risk to kidnap them."

"Then tell me, if 40 million dollars is such a big amount, will the police be alerted if he took it out?"

Hearing the quarrel between the kidnappers, Skylar discovered that they were indeed not professional

kidnappers. They might have been short of money, thus they kidnapped Lilian and Coralie.

"If the amount is more than 10 million dollars, I can't guarantee that I'll be able to get it out smoothly. In

the whole of A City, Skyton Corporation is the only being that will not raise suspicion for such a large

amount."

"What? Do you think that you can deal with us with just a few million dollars? That's impossible!"

The kidnappers cursed loudly.

"You can discuss it among yourself first, but I have something to say. If my wife and mother are even

slightly injured, not only will you not be able to get the money, but I will hunt you down myself, no

matter where you are."

Skylar's words were as cold as ice and he spoke with a firm tone.

"Don't try to intimidate me, it won't work! I'll inform you after we discuss it."

After that, the kidnapper hung up the phone.

When Skylar hung up the phone, he received an email on his phone. The email was from a sender

called 'five'.

Skylar opened the email. There were three attachments in it. He opened one of the attachments and

saw Finley's resume. It was clearly stated that he had driven while he was drunk and had killed

someone from the Chariott family in a car accident.

"Chariott family'?" Skylar immediately remembered Coralie's father.

"Such coincidence?"

He frowned.

Valerie, who was sitting opposite Skylar, saw that he hung up the phone but did not do anything. He

only looked at his phone. She felt that it was weird and asked, "What's the matter?"
