Chapter 934
Quickly, the call connected, but it wasn't Odie on the other end. It was Jonah.
Jonah's voice was cold as he said, "Ms. Vanessa, our boss has already made it clear that if you keep bothering him, he'll handle you like a nuisance."
Vanessa was taken aback. She hadn't expected this number to belong to Jonah instead of Odie! The number Odie had given her was actually one of his subordinates'!
Right then, Ricardo was glaring at her menacingly. Vanessa had no choice but to stay calm. She said, "Jonah... please, ask Odie to take the call. I have something very important to tell him!" "He isn't interested."
As Jonah was about to hang up, Vanessa quickly blurted out, "I've been kidnapped! Ricardo said if he doesn't get two billion dollars, he'll kill me!"
"Ms. Vanessa, let me remind you, you and our boss have already broken off the engagement. Whether it's two billion or two hundred dollars, it's not our problem."
Vanessa's face turned pale. Ricardo overheard that Vanessa and Odie had called off their engagement, "So... you're useless now."
"Please! Don't kill me!"
Ricardo scoffed, "The Pollard family would pay four billion for Ms. Sandy, Colby would pay four billion for Sophie. I thought being the fiancée of the Minton family, Odie would at least shell out two billion for you. Turns out... you're not worth that much. Keeping you is pointless!"
Terrified, Vanessa stared at Ricardo and pleaded, "Without Odie... there's still Colby! Colby promised my father he'd take care of me for life. He'll save me!"
Vanessa's call was still connected, and Jonah, hearing that Sophie was also kidnapped, frowned.
Outside the Minton family study, Odie had just walked in and asked, "What does Vanessa want?"
Jonah immediately hung up the call.
"Nothing much, Ms. Vanessa wanted you to take responsibility for her."
"Oh." Odie said indifferently, "Block her number."
"Yes, boss."
Jonah quickly blocked Vanessa's number.
"Get ready. Let's pack up and head back to Summerfield."
Odie had lost his foothold overseas. The Pollard family's talk of
word
collaboration was just empty and @sual business dealings were now useless to him.
Moreover, since Colby arrived overseas, he had swiftly dealt with a large number of traitors within the company and reorganized the Costello Corporation from top to bottom. The people Odie had placed overseas over the years were all uprooted by Kiran. If he didn't leave now, he would end up at Colby's mercy.
Jonah hesitated for a moment, then asked, "We are leaving now?"
"Tomorrow morning."
Odie sat on
Althou a nearby couch.
he hadn't managed to take away Colby's power overseas this
time, he knew he would eventually.
Seeing Jonah still standing there, Odie asked, "Why haven't you started packing? Is there something else you want to say?"
"I..." Jonah rarely hesitated like this.
Odie frowned, "What is it?"
"Ms. Vanessa... has been kidnapped by Ricardo."
"Oh, what does that have to do with me?"Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.
