Chapter 984
Sweet Subterfuge
Bethanyâs death was still tied to Kevan.
It all started from the day Cody escaped.
Although Soaring Corporation had not been doing well these past few years and eventually went bankrupt. Cody had been in power for some time. He still managed to raise a few supporters.
As a result, Cody got news beforehand and escaped with his luggage before the police arrived at his home.
The police put out an arrest warrant and Keyan got his people to look for Cody too.
But before Cody could be found, Kevan got a phone call from Cody first.
Codyâs voice was harsh and arrogant. âKevan Rogers! Your daughter is in my hands! If you want her to live, prepare 100 million in cash and a car, and park that at number 28 on Peach Lane!
âDo not fucking call the police! Once I get the money and the car, I will let your daughter gol âDonât touch her.â Kevan pretended to be panicked to keep Cody there. âI can do the money and the car. I just want Bethany to come back safely.â
âYou have hall the day! Before midnight I want to see both things!â Cody hung up after saying that.
Kevan, of course, was not going to take the money to get Bethany back.
He promised Cody just so he could slow Cody down, and the man would not be able to find another victim Kevan called Bethanyâs nanny Erst. I look a long while for someone to answer.
The person who answered was a nurse from the emergency department.
She said that the nanny was attacked by robbers who entered the house, and the nanny was currently undergoing emergency treatment at the hospital The nurse did not mention Bethany, but since the robbers had already broken into the house and hurt the nanny, it seemed that Bethany was realy with Cody.
Kevan called the police at once. The police drove and parked an empty car at number 28 Peach Lane, and they also prepared an ambush around the place. However, they did not catch Cody, but a random person who was paid by Cody to drive the car away.
After that, Cody called Kevan again. This time, he was angrier. âFuck you Kevan, you backstabbed me!â
Kevan said nothing.
âFine then, I guess you donât want your daughter anymore!â Cody did something as Bethanyâs terrible wails could be heard.
âDaddy! Save mel Daddy! Iâm scared!â
Bethany had experienced being kidnapped before this, so she knew what pain was waiting for her. That was why her reaction was bigger than before.
âDaddy! I donât want to get beaten anymore! It hurts, Daddyl Even if Kevan was a heartless guy, he could not bear hearing such things at this moment. âCody Rogers, youâre a plece of shit!â he snarled through gritted teeth.
âAm I the one whoâs the piece of shit or you are?â Cody laughed coldly. âThe one whoâs letting his daughter be in danger while refusing to pay a single cent to save her is you, Kevan Rogers!â
âIl pay.â Kevan said. âGo on, then. How should I give you the money?â
Cody was a wanted man, and his bank accounts were all suspended. He was a suspicious guy, so he would never let others help take the money for him.
âItâs still 100 million in cash and a car. But I want you to send it all in person. If you bring someone else âI'll go alone.â Kevan agreed. âThe address?â
Cody announced a new address. That was a farmâstyle resort built by Soaring Corporation in the suburbs of the city. However, as the funding was not enough, this project was only completed hallway before slopping. It had been like this even till now.
That place was very spacious, and there was nothing there that could block anything ofl. Kevan brought people. Cody would be able to see them at once.
âFine. Iâll go gather the money, I will give it to you at about 9:00 am tomorrow.â Kevan said.
Cody warned him. âDonât fucking play games with me, asshole. Otherwise, be prepared to receive your daughterâs corpse!â
Kevan really got 100 million in cash.
