Chapter 419


    can’t watch you do something stupid.”


    Joanna did not say anything. This was the only thing she could do now.


    After waiting for the entire night, the call did note again.


    Bruce and Joanna hadn’t slept the entire night, their eyes red from exhaustion. For the whole night,


    they remained on edge, feeling as if it were doomsday.


    Morning came.


    Beep, beep, beep.


    The phone finally rang again.


    The two of them reached for the phone at the same time. “Hello!”


    On the other end of the phone, the voice from the voice changer said, “It seems like you haven’t made


    up your mind yet!”


    Joanna asked bluntly, “Ryan, is that you?”


    The other end of the phone suddenly fell silent.


    Joanna took a deep breath and said calmly. “I know it’s you. Please, don’t hurt Lilia.”


    “If you hate me, you cane at me. Lilia is just a child. She’s innocent. Please do not hurt her. No


    matter what, you’re her biological uncle.”


    When Ryan heard this, he was furious. “Shut up. Are you done talking?”


    “Ryan, can we talk calmly? Even if I die, many things can’t be resolved.”


    “What do you want? Or what do you want me to do? You can tell me.”


    Knowing his identity had been exposed, Ryan turned off the voice changer and shouted directly into


    the phone, “Joanna Haynes, you’re not worthy of negotiating with me. I only want you to die


    immediately. Only one of you can live. Either she dies, or you die. You choose!”


    Joanna’s eyes sank as her brain forced herself to calm down. The more critical the situation, the more


    she could not lose her rationality.


    “Ryan, since you hate me so much. Wouldn’t it satisfy you even more if you killed me personally?


    Wouldn’t it relieve your


    hatred more?”


    “I want to exchange my life for my daughter’s.”


    “You told me to kill myself. What if you broke your promise after I died?”


    “Return my daughter to me. I’ll be your hostage. Do whatever you want with me.”


    When Bruce heard this, he couldn’t hold it in anymore. “Joanna, are you crazy?”


    On the other end of the phone, Ryan pondered over a minute.


    “How is it? If I die in your hands, you will be able to relieve the hatred in your heart. If Imit suicide,


    how can you experience the pleasure of revenge?”


    “Haha. Ryan Haynesughed darkly.


    This suggestion was risky.


    However, she was right! Only by killing her personally and torturing her to extreme pain. He could then


    relieve the hatred. in his heart.


    “Your suggestion is excellent. I agree!”


    “Okay, where are you now? I’lle to find you.”


    “But make sure my daughter is safe!”


    “Wait for my call. I’ll let you know.”


    With that, Ryan hung up the phone.


    Bruce’s eyes turned red as he roared angrily, “Joanna, are you crazy? I won’t allow you to go.”


    “Bruce. As long as I can get my daughter back, I don’t care.”


    “No, I should be the one going. I can’t lose you, let alone see you die…”


    “He hates me. What’s the point of you going?”


    Joanna, I definitely won’t let you go. Ryan is crazy. Going to him is purely courting death.”


    10:37


    Joanna sighed sadly. “What can I do if I don’t go? Lilia is in his hands. I can’t just watch him kill Lilia.”


    When Bruce heard this, he was speechless and distraught!


    At this moment, he suddenly felt the sorrow of being wealthy.


    If he were just an ordinary person, his children, and family wouldn’t have be targets of the


    kidnappers


    “Joanna, no matter what, no matter what you say, I will never let you go.”


    Even if he lost his daughter, he could not lose Joanna.


    Although he loved his daughter very much, he loved Joanna even more.


    “I only hope that God will bless Lilia and keep her safe.”


    In the suburbs.


    It was an abandoned sewer. This ce was deserted and uninhabited!


    “Boohoo…”


    “Stop crying. If you continue crying, I’ll strangle you.”


    Lilia’s face was covered in mud, and her dress was dirty. She sat on the ground, resembling a dirty little


    puppy.


    One of the kidnappers said frustratedly, “Boss, just strangle her to end it all. That crying child is getting


    on my nerves.”


    “Even if she’s dead, we can still use her corpse to lure her mother over.”


    Another kidnapper retorted, “Are you crazy? This is Bruce Everett’s daughter. Let me tell you. We


    should demand a hefty

    ransom from him.”


    Ryan nced at Lilia gloomily and could not suppress the anger in his heart.


    “Boohoo…” Lilia was so scared that her entire body trembled as she cried. “Let’s just strangle her to


    death. She cried all night. Her cries are frustrating me.” Ryan took a deep puff of his cigarette. His face


    was filled with murderous intent. Lilia and Joanna looked simr. She was like a chip of the old block of


    Joanna.


    Just looking at her reminded him of Joanna.


    As soon as the thought of Joanna crossed his mind, an uncontroble surge of anger and pain


    overwhelmed him. His hand immediately mped down on Lilia’s neck.


    Lilia could not breathe. Her face was pale, and her hands struggled weakly a few times. She squeezed


    out a raspy voice from her throat. “Uncle…”


    When Ryan heard this, he held his breath and subconsciously stopped.


    “Boss, she’s just a kid. Besides, she is a gold mine. She’s worth a lot more than that Princess Martha.”


    “We should think of a way to extort more money from Bruce Everett.”


    “We need money right now. Demanding a higher ransom is what matters.”


    “Take her aside. Her crying is messing up my mind.”


    “Cough cough…”


    “Boss, do something!”
