Chapter 1513 The Seet Family Deserves It

“Okay.”

With that, they cautiously walked toward the secret room downstairs.

Meanwhile, Sally hastily came to Steven’s room. She calmed herself down before knocking on the door.

Knock! Knock!

“Come in!”

Upon hearing the deep voice, Sally opened the door and saw Steven. With his eyes half-closed, he was leaning back in his mahogany chair and listening to a soothing piano piece. Moreover, two ladies squatted beside him to clean and massage his legs.

“Dad!” Sally said.

After slowly opening his eyes, Steven was shocked to see Sally.

“Sally, why are you back so abruptly?”

“Dad, I’m worried that you might be emotionally overwhelmed at the news that Skyler has been abducted. That is why I’m here to visit you.”

Staring at the ladies who squatted beside Steven, Sally’s expression turned grim. She realized that her worries were unfounded, for Steven enjoyed his relaxed and serene life very much. Why isn’t Dad worried about Skyler’s safety at all?

Meanwhile, Steven sat straight and gazed at Sally with a stern face.

“Instead of making any accomplishments, Skyler sure has a talent for screwing things up! Since he has underestimated his enemy, he deserves it! I have ordered him not to leave the house for fifteen days; yet, he didn’t obey me. In that case, he should be punished and learn a lesson.”

“Dad, this isn’t the time to argue about it. You can chastise him all you want once he returns. For now, our priority is to figure out how we can rescue him.”

After falling silent for a while, Steven gestured for the two ladies to leave, leaving only Sally and him in the room.

Once they left, Steven glanced at Sally and said, “It’s not easy to rescue him. We have to plan it well.”

“Dad, we do have an option that can guarantee Skyler’s return.”

“What is it?”

“We can use Nicole in exchange for him.”

“I heard from Skyler that you have used Nicole to obtain half portion of the antidote. In that case, she is already worthless now. Also, Nicole is the wife of Evan and the mother of Juan and Kyle. Hence, the Seets will agree if we use her in exchange for Skyler.”

After giving it some thought, Steven rebutted hesitantly, “Who says Nicole is useless? We will lose out if we use Nicole in exchange for Skyler.”

Sally was stunned, for she couldn’t believe her ears. “Dad, what do you mean? Why is it not worth it to get Skyler back? I mean, he’s your only son!”

“Of course, he is my only son. However, do you know what I want from Nicole? Do you know how important she is?”

“Dad, regardless of what you wish to do, you can’t ignore your son’s life! What is more important now than saving Skyler?”

Nonetheless, to Steven, he had a far more important task at hand than saving Skyler.

How is Skyler’s life on par with what I want? Who is he compared to the lives of all of the Seets?

After glancing at Sally, Steven slowly grabbed the cup on the table and took a sip of it.

“Sally, you have lost your cool. Although Skyler is in their hands, don’t forget that Nicole is in our hands as well. Hence, they will be cautious and won’t kill Skyler.

“You, on the other hand, have stayed by Kyle’s side for quite some time and joined Seet Group successfully. Have you figured out the company’s capital flow?

“If all members of the Seet family have died, are you capable of controlling Seet Group?”

Sally was on tenterhooks once she heard that all members of the Seet family would die, for Kyle would be on the list as well.

I don’t want to see Kyle die!

“Dad, what you want is to take revenge. In that case, only the one who did something wrong deserves punishment. Can you only target the perpetrator who harmed you—”

“Sally!” Steven scolded and interrupted Sally before she could finish.

“You’re my daughter and part of the Maupay family. Always remember that our family was nearly wiped out back then. Shouldn’t I punish the Seets for the hideous crime that they committed?

“You aren’t feeling attached to them after spending a lot of time with them, are you? “Don’t forget that you are a Maupay!”

“I… I just feel that it’s overly brutal to take away so many lives.”

“Be that as it may, they deserve it!”
