Predestined Marriage novel Chapter 352

Kate's expression changed as she cried out in shock, "Dad? Is that you?"

After saying that, she looked up at Leonardo and said, "Leonardo, it's from Dad."

"Oh." Leonardo walked over and sat down on the sofa opposite her.

Kate thought that Leonardo wanted to listen, so she put it on speaker.

Michael's voice came from the phone. It sounded that he was rattled. "Kate, I was kidnapped. They want 300 million. They can let me go as long as they get the money... Please help me to get the money..."

Before Michael could finish his words, the phone was snatched over by someone. The man's voice was strange and hoarse. It was obvious that the kidnapper used a voice changer. He said, "If I can't get three hundred million within 24 hours, you have to pick up the pieces of him! Remember, don't call the police."

Kate said, "OK. OK. OK. Three hundred million. I know. I will definitely get the money. Don't..."

Before she could finish her sentence, the phone was hung up.

"Dad was kidnapped? If I hadn't come back and received the call from the kidnapper, you wouldn't tell me or save Dad, right?"

Kate said with agitation, "Leonardo, why are you so cold-blooded? No matter how much enmity you have, he is still our biological father!"

As for Kate's accusation, Leonardo's expression did not change.

He looked at Kate and said to Tim, "Do you hear that? She wants 300 million to save her father. Hurry up."

"Yes." Tim answered and went out.

"Leonardo, I was just too worried about Dad." Kate did not expect Leonardo to agree so straightforwardly to give her three hundred million yuan.

Leonardo just curled his lips and didn't say anything.

Meanwhile, Douglas walked in with his schoolbag on his back.

Douglas went to a boarding school this semester. It was a school under strict management. He had to hand over his phone at school. Only after the holiday began today did he know the news.

"Leonardo, Kate!"

As soon as Douglas walked in the room, he saw Kate and Leonardo. "I heard that my uncle was kidnapped? You also found Rachel!"

When Kate heard Douglas mention Rachel, she turned around and asked Leonardo, "Who is Rachel?"

Leonardo stood up and looked at Douglas seriously, "Come with me. I have something to tell you."

"Cousin, what happened?" Summer had been on the news quite often, so in Douglas’ mind, most of the things mentioned in the news were false.

Leonardo handed Violet's medical evaluation to Douglas, "Have a look."

Douglas took it and saw the name "Violet" on it. He was shocked for a moment before continuing to read.

Looking at this, he was silent completely.

Leonardo did not say anything to comfort him. Instead, he told him calmly, "Auntie loves Uncle very much. She has not been in a good mental state recently. We didn't realize how serious it was until a servant found out that she wanted to commit suicide by hitting the wall. So we sent her to the hospital."

Douglas looked at him with his eyes red. "Where is she?"

Leonardo noticed Douglas clenching his fists.

But he still kept calm. Leonardo said, "She was emotionally unstable. So I sent her to the hospital. There are professional doctors in the hospital. I believe it's good for her. You can go to see her when you're available."

It was rare that Leonardo had been so patient and said so much to people other than Summer.

To him, Douglas was different from the rest of the Emersons.

Just as Mr. Charlie had said, Douglas was a sincere child. Leonardo had accompanied him since Douglas was a kid, so he couldn't bear to tell Douglas the truth.

The things about Violet and Michael.

And Nathan's death.

Just let these cruel truths be secrets.

Douglas wiped away his tears, "Thank you, cousin. As for what happened to uncle..."

Leonardo interrupted him, "That's our business."

Leonardo let someone send Douglas to see Violet before Douglas went back to school.

There were so many things happened to the Emersons these days, so it was better for Douglas to stay in school.

After arranging these things, Leonardo sat in the study for a while before leaving.

Looking down from the second floor, Kate was still waiting for the phone in the lobby on the first floor.

Leonardo turned around and returned to his room. He saw Summer leaning against the bed and she was distracted.

Hearing the door open, Summer looked up at him and said, "You're back."

In a week, Summer had lost so much weight. Her chin was thinner and her face was paler.

Leonardo pinched her pointed chin. He didn't dare to exert any strength and said calmly, "If you continue to lose weight like this, I won't take you there."

"Leonardo." Summer's expression changed slightly and she pulled his hand.

Instead, Leonardo said something else, "Douglas is back."

Summer paused for a moment, "You..."

It was as if he knew what Summer would ask, so Leonardo said, "I didn't tell him anything."

Summer nodded.

She thought Leonardo and Adams were totally different.

When Adams knew his background, he was lost in dragging others to suffer the pains with him, but Leonardo was different. He couldn't bear to let Douglas know those truths.

They were totally different. So no matter what tricks Adams was playing right now, he could not turn Leonardo into someone like him.

Tim helped Kate get three hundred million yuan.

In the middle, the kidnappers called her again to ask for cash and gold...

Leonardo didn't say anything and ordered Tim to do it.

The kidnappers called again, and Kate was already impatient. She said, "Is it okay this time? We've prepared everything you need."

But the kidnappers seemed to enjoy themselves, "Well, give me another 50 million in cash and I'll let the old man go!"

Kate did not expect the kidnapper to raise such an extra requirement. So she tried to contend with them, "Didn't we make an agreement..."

But the kidnapper did not listen to her. "Before sunset, I will send his hand to you if I don't get the money."

As soon as the kidnapper hung up, Kate ran to Leonardo and said, "Leonardo, what should we do now?"

Leonardo said indifferently, "They will become greedier and greedier. They won't be satisfied with the money. Call the police."

Kate felt that what Leonardo said was reasonable. The kidnapper was sure that they wouldn't call the police, so they could keep asking for more.

However, after they called the police before sunset, they received one of Michael's arms.

Kate was so scared that she fainted.

The kidnapper called them again at this time.

On the other end of the phone, Michael said in a frightened tone, "Leonardo, all they want is just 50 million in cash. Save me, please. I don't want to die!"
