You Complete Me novel (Skylar and Coralie)

Chapter 417

At Skyton Corporation, Skylar had stayed in his office the entire night.

After the kidnappers had received a message from Skylar saying "don't go overboard", they did not

send anything to Valerie anymore.

Skylar did not act rashly either. Instead, he showed the video to the police.

"Well, generally, kidnappers prefer to choose this kind of place to retrieve the money. After all, as there

are many people there, it would be easy for them to get away."

"Okay, I'll prepare the money."

Skylar was relieved that the kidnappers had agreed to lower the ransom to 10 million dollars. It was

possible for him to prepare that amount of money at one go. He was willing to give the money to the

kidnappers in exchange for the safety of Coralie and Lillian. This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.

In the video, he saw that Lillian had been severely beaten up. However, saving them was the top

priority.

After making the decision, the police contacted the team members who searched Greenerie District to

ask if they had found the location of the kidnapping yet.

"Captain Andrews, Greenerie District is too large and we dare not act rashly so we were not able to

move fast and have not found them yet."

The team member replied.

The police officer, whose name was Ned Andrews, took another look at the video sent by the

kidnappers. He noticed the mud on Coralie's shoes and asked, "Has it rained in Greenerie District

these few days?"

"No, it has not."

"Then look around and see if there are any abandoned houses near a pond or swamp."

Ned said immediately.

"Yes, sir!"

The team member immediately sprang into action.

"Pond?"

Skylar was also a little confused.

"Look at this video and you will notice that there is mud on your wife's shoes. It did not seem to have

been there yesterday, indicating that she should have been walking around. If it did not rain in the past

few days, this means that your wife and mother are most probably held near a pond."

Ned explained.

With this clue, the search area became smaller.

At that moment, Valerie, who slept on the chair in the lounge, was exhausted.

Skylar instructed Lorraine to deliver breakfast to her.

When Lorraine entered, Valerie asked with a bitter face, "Is there any news? When can I leave?"

In reality, Valerie wanted to know if Skylar had sent the message according to what she had said. If he

did, then the kidnappers would have definitely noticed it and might have already killed both Coralie and

Lillian.

"I don't know."

Ever since Lorraine saw that Valerie's phone was used to communicate with the kidnappers, she no

longer had a good impression of Valerie.

She placed the breakfast down and went out.

At that moment, Skylar received a WhatsApp message on Valerie's mobile phone.

The messages were directly displayed at the screen.

Jasper: [Did you sleep well? I'm going to A City this afternoon. I'll contact you when I get

there.]

Skylar saw that it was from Jasper and did not pay any attention to it. He then placed the phone back

into his pocket.

At noon, Ned suddenly came with a news that the team members had seen a house by the pond. They

saw that there was signs that Coralie and Lillian were being held inside as there was some leftover

take-out boxes there.

There was also traces of wheels at the entrance of the house. From the current situation, it seemed

that they had already left. At this time, Skylar had already prepared ten million dollars in cash, placed

inside two suitcases.

At 6:30 pm, the police monitored the area around Starry milk tea shop at Fortune Star Commercial

Street. There were also many undercover policemen there.

Skylar drove the car alone and parked it in a parking lot nearest to the milk tea shop. At 7 pm, he took

the two suitcases out of the trunk of his car and placed them at the entrance of the shop.

After that, he left.

Many passersby looked at the two suitcases, but none of them took them.

At the same time, Finley's minivan had

already been parked behind the commercial street, and even at that point, they were still arguing about

who was going to get the money!

Of course, Finley was the one who shouted the most!

"I'll go! I'll go!"

"No! I'll go!"

The few of them fought in the minivan. With so much money, no matter how many of them went, the

remaining person left behind might not receive any money at all.

However, the one who went to retrieve money would face many risks too. He could be shot by the

police immediately.

As they could not reach an agreement, Coralie said, "Ten million dollars will be inside at least two

suitcases. If they call the police, the person who goes to get the money will need to leave smoothly and

therefore must get back into the car. You will be able to escape if you escape by car so it doesn't matter

who goes to get the money."

At that moment, all she wanted was to be released safely. She could not allow her child to be harmed.

Coralie believed that Skylar would agree with her as well.

When the four of them heard what Coralie said, they felt that it was very reasonable!

"Okay, then the three of us will go," One person said, and then he pointed to Finley and said, "You are

good at driving, you stay behind to drive!"

"No way!"

Actually, Finley was the only one who had driven them all along and the others had not driven the

minivan before.

But at that moment, everyone wanted the money and Finley was not willing to be left behind.

"D*mn it! Why don't the four of us go together? They are tied up anyway. How will they be able to run

away? Their mouths are sealed as well."

At last, the kidnappers were able to come to an agreement.

The four of them went together.

When the four of them arrived at Starry milk tea shop, they saw the two black leather suitcases and

immediately took them away.

One of the kidnappers, who was pulling one of the suitcases, said excitedly, "Are there bricks inside the

bag? Why is it so heavy?"

"Nonsense, there are five million dollars in each suitcase. Do you know how much 5 million dollars is?"

"I don't think that Skylar's heart even ached if he took out ten million. If I had known earlier, I would

have demanded more. The four of us can carry another two suitcases, so we should have demanded

twenty million dollars instead!"

"You're right! Why don't we demand for the ransom money again?"

When they got the money, they started to become more greedy. They felt that it was too easy for them

to get the money, and that they should have demanded 40 million dollars instead.

When the four kidnappers are back to the minivan, they found that...

The door was open, but it was empty!

"F*ck! The hostages ran away!"

The kidnappers cursed loudly.

"You even said that you wanted to demand again but the hostages have run away now. I have

mentioned before that we need to have at least one person to watch over the hostages but no one

wanted to do it!"

"I was worried that you guys would run away with the money!"

"What should we do now? The hostages are gone and our plans are all ruined!"

The kidnappers blamed each other.

Finley saw that they had already placed both the black suitcases inside the minivan. There was only

one person sitting inside. He then quietly climbed onto the driver's seat, locked the doors and stepped

on the accelerator!

"Stop right there!"

"What the f*ck! Finley!"

The two kidnappers outside the minivan were astonished. They did not expect that Finley would

actually drive away.

The two of them chased after the minivan relentlessly. After chasing for more than a few meters, the

police surrounded them and arrested them immediately!

"How about we split the money half-half?"

Finley had already seen the police from the rearview mirror and saw that they had taken the two

kidnappers away. He knew that as long as they could escape, the money would be divided only

between two people.

However, at that moment, he only felt a chill on his neck, and saw the other kidnapper in the minivan

placing a knife on his neck as he said, "Drive carefully. Who wants to divide the money with you?"
