Chapter 275 Amusement
Inside the Petrova Mansion!
Jake Green looked at Jonas and his wife- Leena, coldly and unemotionally.
Jake went through their phones and analyzed everything he could gather from them – particularly the location of the person who had sent them several cryptic messages.
When he found what he was looking for, he left with his subordinate, leaving them alone in the dark basement.
From the beginning to the end, he did not speak with them. He had no interest in listening to their lies.
Jake was specially trained and was the head of the P City Police Department in his prime. He knew how to deal with people like Jonas and Leena.
The moment Jonas had called him, he knew something was wrong. Instead of alerting the enemy, he let them be. On the other hand, he asked Leonardo to investigate.
Jonas tried to speak, but Jake’s men had tapped his mouth, and he could only create muffled noise.This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.
Leena, however, was looking at him coldly.
After a few days, Leonardo found his way to them and removed the tape from their mouths.
He cocked his head and looked at them curiously, “Anything?”
He asked, utterly uninterested in knowing their answer.
Leena spat at him. However, she was too weak and only ended up dirtying her clothes.
Jonas, on the other hand, kneeled and begged.
“Please, they have my father. Please, help him!”
Leonardo sneered, “Your father’s life is precious. And my nephew’s life is dispensable. Is that right?”
Jonas cried and begged some more to no avail.
Leena, on the other hand, was clear-headed.
She asked, “Where is that bitch?”
Leonardo looked at her curiously and answered, “Surprisingly, she had a button line. She left and started over.”
Leena probed further, “How did you find out?”
Leonardo stared at her unblinkingly, in interest, “Uncle knew that Jonas is gay.”
Jonas stopped sobbing.
Leena shook her head in resignation.
So many months of planning went down the drain for something so silly.
They had not counted on them knowing so much about their employees. They were prejudiced against the rich and did not think they would care about something that trivial.
She smiled. Her worldview had changed.
Then she laughed. Where was the fun in knowing all that? She was captured and would get killed. So what if she knew?
Leonardo observed all her minute expressions and left with a smile hanging on his lips.
He was amused. How could such a silly woman become a spy?
Leena’s face fell as soon as Leonardo had left. She rolled her eyes in disdain.
Leonardo was young, and she knew how to manipulate him.
She crawled to the wall and rested her eyes. Jonas was still sniveling.
She yelled, “For the love of God! Stop it already! Your father is dead.”
Jonas shook his head, “No, you are lying. I talked to him a few hours before they captured us. He is alive. He must be alive.”
Leena laughed mirthlessly, “So what? They have captured us. Do you think the master would let him leave? No! He would have killed him instantly to set an example for his other subordinates.”
Jonas looked at her, horrified.
She mocked him further. “And stop counting on the Petrovas to help him. Are you truly that stupid to believe they would help the father of the man who tried to kill their children?”
Jonas shook his head, “But I changed the medicine. I did not give them the poison. I changed it to a laxative and reduced the quantity.”
Leena looked at him agape, “What did you say?”
Jonas nodded and repeated, “I changed the poison to laxative.”
Leena laughed, “The master is far-sighted. He knew you would falter, so he made backup plans. The poison was in that piece of metal. The medicine on it was just a small mercy for the kids as it would have caused instant death. But the metal would corrode their internal organs and cause a painful death.”
Jonas sighed in resignation, “How could you people be so cruel?”
Leena shrugged, “They can only blame Leon Petrova for being cruel. And his daughter for being heartless.”
Leonardo and Jake listened to their conversation from another room and discussed the next steps.
