Chapter 642
Jennifer went cold with fury when she heard Linda''s words.
“So what if I''m thepany''s CEO? That doesn''t mean thepany''s money is mine. I don''t have
five million, so please leave now!”
Leonard''s shoulders slumped when he heard Jennifer''s words.
He gave Linda a tug, signaling for her to stop talking.
“Jenny, since you don''t have five million, we shall take our leave. I noticed that you''ve lost some
weight, so it''s important for you to take care of yourself by getting adequate rest instead of pushing
yourself too hard with work,” he said in a caring tone.
That was the first time Leonard had ever spoken to Jennifer this way.
Jennifer''s eyes turned red at his caring words.
However, she refused to give in because they had treated her too harshly in the past.
“Wait a minute.” Donald, who was sitting on the couch, suddenly spoke up. “I have five million. I can
lend the money to you.”
“Darling, you...”
Donald gave a wave, effectively cutting Jennifer off. He wanted her to stay out of this.
“I have a condition, though,” he added.
“What is it? We will agree to anything.”
Leonard and Linda were willing to do anything to save their son.
Donald met their gazes calmly and said, “It''s simple. If the kidnapping is real, I''ll give you the five
million without asking you to repay it. On the contrary, if Kevin had nned his own kidnapping, I''ll
break his legs and send him to jail. I apologize for that in advance.”
The three were taken aback by Donald''s condition.
Kevin nned his own kidnapping? Why would he do that?
Jennifer was familiar with her little brother''s personality, so she knew there was a possibility Kevin
would do that.
“Darling, are you implying that Kevin is attempting to defraud us of five million dors by staging his
own kidnapping?”
Donald replied with a cold snort, “If it turns out that Kevin orchestrated his own kidnapping in order
to swindle five million dors from us, I will not only break his legs, but I will also ensure that he
ends up behind bars.”
“Are you saying he has other ulterior motives?”
“We''ll find out once we contact the kidnapper,” Donald dered.
Turning to Linda, he said, “You should have the kidnapper''s contact, right? Call him now.”
Linda pulled out her phone and dialed the kidnapper''s number.
“Have you prepared the five million?” The kidnapper was a middle-aged man with a deep voice.
“Yes, we have the money. How should I give it to you?” Linda asked.
“Oh, that''s fast. It looks like you''re not just an ordinary couple running a stall in the night market,
huh? I''ll send you the addresster,” the kidnapper told her.
The call ended abruptly, leaving both Leonard and Linda confused.
“What was that?” Linda asked.
Normally, kidnappers would want to get the ransom as soon as possible.
Now that they had the money, the kidnapper should''ve told them the address immediately instead of
hanging up.
Less than five minutester, the kidnapper''s call arrived.
“D*mn, no wonder you got the money so quickly! It turns out that the loser has a sister who is a
CEO. Tell Jennifer to bring five million to Starlight Club before nine tonight. Ask to see Otis.
Remember, Jennifer must be there personally. Otherwise, we''ll take his life!”
Before Linda could reply, the kidnapper ended the call once more.

Now, Jennifer finally understood why Donald proposed that condition.
It was evident that the kidnapper''s statements were inconsistent.
First, if they assumed Leonard and Linda were an ordinary couple running a stall, they wouldn''t
have asked for an astronomical sum of five million.
That was because Leonard and Linda couldn''t possibly earn that much even if they were to work
hard all their lives.
Second, the kidnapper only learned about Jennifer''s existence after they prepared five million as
ransom. It was highly possible that Kevin was the one who told them about Jennifer''s job.
