His Ugly Bride (Anna and Sebastian)

Chapter 87 Ransom or Death

Summer stopped. Silence ensued.

She looked at Tim who was driving and turned to "Douglas". Seeing he was lost in thought, she

reached out and patted him. She said, "You haven't said what he likes to eat!"

"Douglas" regained his senses and looked deeply at her. After a few seconds, he said, "He is not picky.

He likes whatever you cook."

He was telling the truth. Summer was good at cooking. He ate dishes she cooked for a while, and

every dish tasted good.

Summer was disappointed by his answer.

After that, "Douglas" remained silent and did not say anything.

Summer didn't know what he was thinking about.

The first thing Summer did when she returned home was to look for Leonardo.

She ran to the study and knocked on the door, but no one was there.

When she went downstairs, she met "Douglas". Summer asked him curiously, "You said Leonardo is at

home, didn't you? I just went to the study. But no one was there."

Leonardo looked away to avoid her gaze.

Then he said, "Perhaps he is sleeping in his room. He is in poor health conditions and gets tired easily."

Once you told a lie, you needed to tell dozens to cover it up.

Previously, he had lied to Summer because he found her interesting. He didn't do it on purpose.

He had heard of her defending for "Leonardo", both in public and in private.

Leonardo was born in a large family with a hundred years of history. He had experienced many things.

He could tell without any difficulty whether Summer was telling the truth or not.

He knew Summer meant it and she told the truth. Leonardo had mixed feelings now. He didn't

understand why himself.

"Alright." Summer nodded and went downstairs.

Seeing her enter the kitchen, Leonardo called Carl and requested irritably, "Come out and have a

drink!"

"Sorry..." Carl apologized. He was about to refuse, but Leonardo hung up before he could say anything.

At the Golden Cauldron Club.

Carl walked over to Leonardo reluctantly with a glass in his hand. He complained, "What's wrong?

What bothers you so much that you ask me out for a drink at day?"

Leonardo didn't reply. He silently took a sip of wine.

Seeing his reaction, Carl realized that things might be more serious than he expected. So he stopped This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.

smiling and said seriously, "You have to tell me what the matter is."

Leonardo finally turned to look at him.

However, after staring at Carl for a few seconds, he looked away and said indifferently, "You won't

understand."

Carl was confused. What was the point of asking him out?

When the meal was ready, Summer was told that Leonardo and "Douglas" went out together.

She was left alone.

Just as she was about to eat, her phone rang. She took it out. It was Karen.

She tapped on the screen with a finger and pressed on the green button after hesitating for a while.

Summer was on her speakerphone. She said softly, "Hello?"

She heard an ear-piercing noise, which was followed by a sharp cry. Karen shrieked, "Help me,

please."

Summer checked the phone number and was sure it was Karen.

Karen screamed in tears, "Summer, it was my fault. But I am your mother. You have to save me."

Before Summer could respond, a man took away Karen's phone.

He said viciously, "You're her daughter, aren't you? Listen carefully. Give me fifty million yuan.

Otherwise she'll be dead!" Summer was shocked. Then she said coldly,

"I don't have any money. Go to the Jarrett Group and find Lynn!"

Was Karen kidnapped?

Fifty million was quite some money!

If the kidnapper had targeted Karen, he should have called Lynn. Why did he call her?

"Nonsense. You're Emerson's wife. How can that be possible? Don't lie to me! I'll give you two hours to

prepare it. I'll call you back in two hours. Don't call the police, or I'll kill her!"

The man hung up.

Before he hung up, Summer heard Karen screaming.

Summer tightened her grip on her phone and her face darkened.

Although Karen treated her poorly, she was still her mother. Summer can't stand by when Karen was in

danger.

Summer called Lynn as she walked out.

No one answered.

Being anxious, she immediately ran down the mountain and took a taxi to the Jarretts.

Ever since Summer returned to normal, she hadn't returned to the family. So when she arrived, she

was stopped by a servant at the door.

She asked her, "Who are you looking for?"

Summer glanced at her and said, "I am Summer."

The servant said in disbelief, "Summer?"

Upon closer inspection, she could tell that the person in front looked similar to Karen.

She didn't stop her.

"Where are my father and Vicky?" Summer asked as she went inside. The servant replied, "They are

having lunch. Summer, have you had lunch?"

Summer heard her question, but ignored her. She was in a rage.

Even if a dog was missing, normally people would look for it. Let alone Karen was a lady and she was

kidnapped!

Summer was familiar with the villa and she went to the dining room directly.

"Dad, this shrimp is tasty. Try it."

"It tastes better than usual."

When she went into the dining room, Vicky and Lynn were eating. They looked happy.

Vicky was the first to see Summer. She looked at her with surprise and said, "You refused to come

back even if Karen asked you. She isn't at home today. How come you return?"

Summer strode over, pick up Vicky's tableware, and smashed it to the ground. She bellowed, "She is

kidnapped. How can you still sit here and eat your meal!"

Vicky widened her eyes in shock. "What? She is kidnapped!"

"Didn't the kidnapper call you?" Summer narrowed her eyes.

"She said she went to a beauty salon with her friend. So we didn't wait for her for dinner. How can she

be kidnapped?" Vicky was suspicious.

"Someone called me and said he kidnapped Karen. He told me to get fifty million yuan in two hours.

Otherwise he will kill Karen!" Summer said nervously.

Hearing that, Vicky didn't worry about Karen. Instead, she frowned and said, "Fifty million? That's a lot!

The company is financially strained. We don't have enough money!"

Summer said coldly, "If you can't get enough money, think of a way! Karen has put a lot of efforts in the

family. Isn't she worth that?"
