Slowly Falling into His Love Trap

Chapter 434: My Wife Is Worth a Fortune

"The entire fortune of The Lockwood Family, along with all the wealth I could personally create, is not worth more than my wife," Caden Lockwood said coldly. "Tell me, how much do you want?"

"With Mr. Lockwood talking like that, I’m tempted to ask for the whole Lockwood Group!" The blonde-haired kidnapper replied with a gleeful voice, "But, I’m afraid of exposing my identity, so I won’t be that greedy."

He paused, then said, "How about, just a billion? How does that sound? With Mr. Lockwood’s vast estate, I think I’m giving you quite the discount for your wife, only a billion."

"A billion," Caden Lockwood sneered, "No problem. How do we trade?"

"Aren’t you going to prepare the money first, Mr. Lockwood?" the blonde-haired kidnapper asked. "You agreed so quickly, you made me nervous."

"The Lockwood Group’s vault is always stocked with enough funds," Caden Lockwood said coldly, "Cash, along with gold, we can bring a truckload over for you to verify. How about that?"

"I know Mr. Lockwood has many connections in Atheria, both in the legal and underground worlds," the blonde-haired kidnapper chuckled softly, then continued, "To be honest with you, Mr. Lockwood, we’re being directed by someone powerful to kill Mrs. Lockwood. But we thought just killing her would be too wasteful. If Mr. Lockwood doesn’t try anything funny, and gives me the money I want, and a clear escape route, I could actually switch sides to yours."

Listening to the kidnapper’s words, a deep and cold glint flashed in Caden Lockwood’s eyes, his surging anger becoming even more oppressive and gloomy.

Of course, he couldn’t believe what the kidnapper said.

After all, it’s quite possible the kidnapper was just being vague, aiming to get the ransom.

However, the kidnapper mentioned that someone powerful instructed them to kill Evelyn Morgan.

If this is true, Evelyn Morgan is indeed in great danger!

"I cherish my wife’s life more than you can imagine," Caden Lockwood said solemnly. "So don’t doubt my sincerity in buying peace. If money is gone, it can be earned again, but if a person is gone, they’re truly gone."

"Mr. Lockwood is truly a romantic!" The kidnapper laughed even more exaggeratedly, "Get the money ready! In half an hour, I’ll give you a tip on where to bring the money. But remember, Mr. Lockwood, if I sense anything unusual, I’ll kill Mrs. Lockwood immediately! Even if I die, I’ll take her with me!"

"In half an hour, I want to talk to my wife," Caden Lockwood instructed, "Once I confirm she’s safe, I’ll follow your route to bring the money. If anything happens to her, not only will you not get the money, but you’ll live a life a million times worse than hell!"

With those words, Caden Lockwood directly hung up the phone, his demeanor and attitude appearing very firm.

Evelyn Morgan was kidnapped?

She was injured, wasn’t she supposed to be resting in bed?

Caden Lockwood immediately called Aunt May to ask if Evelyn Morgan was at home.

Aunt May said Evelyn Morgan went out for a walk to relax.

Upon knowing Evelyn Morgan was kidnapped while out for a walk, Aunt May was so shocked she trembled all over.

Caden Lockwood let out a deep sigh; the urgent task wasn’t to question why Evelyn Morgan was kidnapped but to first ensure her safe rescue.

Kidnappers like those, once they get the money, are even more likely to kill the hostage.

He must save Evelyn Morgan before they even notice!

Meanwhile, L also learned about Evelyn Morgan’s kidnapping.

After confirming that Evelyn Morgan was temporarily not in life-threatening danger, L immediately dialed Logan Shaw’s number.
