Chapter 174 Take Me As a Hostage âYou canât go!â Madalyn yelled at the top of her lungs.
Gilbert shook his head and looked at his grandmother in puzzlement. âIâm just trying to save them. Wha tâs wrong with that?â
âIt is wrong for you to save the murderer who wants your grandmother dead.â
Looking at Madalynâs insistent attitude, Gilbert was anguished. He asked himself if the relationship bet ween his grandma and Kisa had come to the point of beyond salvage. But he had to go, even if his gra ndmother opposed it. He walked past Madalyn and out without looking back.
Madalyn cried out in grief behind him. âShe wants your grandmother dead. If you insist on taking the risk of saving her, yo u will regret it when you find out the truth. âShe fell, sitting to the floor. âThat woman should never have
been born. She should never have come into this world.â
In the warehouse, Kisa was relieved to see that Howard had been convinced. She glanced at Sharon a nd saw that she had not yet come out of her shock. Her eyes were still wide open and she could not sp eak, her body shaking.
Howard crouched aside to smoke again. He was not as insane and irritable as he was just now. At the moment, he was deep in a frown, like he was planning somethin g.
Kisaâs heart sank when she thought of his scheming. She said, âGilbertâs goal is just to save me and Sh aron.
Howard just gave a sinister smile. âDo you want to know who Gilbert really cares about?â Kisa frowned, wondering what he meant by that. And he said again, âHow about I verify that for you later?â
âWhat do you want to do?â
Howard did not reply. He just smiled. The more secretive he became, the more uneasy Kisa became.
Gilbert arrived and appeared at the warehouse door before 5 pm. He was carrying two large leather sui tcases in his hands.
Howard smirked and said, âYou are quick. It seems these two women are really important to you.â
Gilbert took a quick glance at Kisa and was relieved to see that she was unharmed. He opened the suit cases and the bills inside were neatly arranged. âFifty million dollars. are all here, and your route out of
the city has been arranged. All you have to do is take this money to the ferry and someone will meet you there.â
âHow can I trust you?â
âYou can let them go and exchange me as a hostage,â Gilbert said calmly. âThey will only slow you down in their current conditions.â
âOh, you are so thoughtful, but unfortunatelyâ¦â Howardâs eyes suddenly turned icy. âI donât believe you.
Gilbert frowned, as Howard was not cooperative. âWhat do you want?â
âHow about this: the two of them, you can only save one, the other as my hostage? I will let her go as so Gilbert held the suitcases tightly in his hands. âI have to take both of them.â
âThat is not possible. If you take both of them, I will be left with no insurance. Besides, if you are not playing any tricks, you donât have to be worried that I wonât let âGilbert, save me! Save me! You must save me.â
