The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 2363

"I have indeed kidnapped your grandson. How about it? You should know why I am calling you, right?"

Beatrice had cried herself hoarse, so Cedric took over the phone.

"Name the price! We'll pay you whatever you want! Just return the grandson safely!" said Cedric.

"Huh! Spoken like a true wealthy man! Rest assured, we don't like killing either. As long as you meet our demands, we'll gladly return your grandson. But there's one thing: we don't like dealing with the authorities. So don't blame us for doing something extreme if you call the cops!" threatened the leader viciously.

"Alright, I'll do whatever you say. Just tell me your demands," replied Cedric.

The leader grinned menacingly, blowing smoke from his cigarette into Lucas' face, causing him to cough. Cedric heard it and panicked.

"Lucas! Lucas, are you okay?"

Lucas tried to steady his voice as he said, "Grandpa, I'm fine. Don't worry. Both you and grandma shouldn't worry."

"Haha, what a good grandson you are, still comforting your grandpa in such a situation. No wonder your grandparents dote on you. Since they care about you so much, they probably wouldn't mind paying 15 million dollars to buy your life, right?"

"You want 15 million dollars?" asked Cedric.

Of course, their family net worth exceeded that amount, but how would these kidnappers take away such a sum?

"Prepare 250,000 dollars in cash for me, and the rest can be wired to an account. I have my ways. You don't need to worry about it," the leader replied before preparing to hang up.

The leader burst into laughter. "This kid actually trusts us. Oh well, I shouldn't be surprised at how naive he is! He does come from a wealthy family after all."

Lucas raised an eyebrow. "If I were you, I'd choose money over killing. Fifteen million dollars would set you up for life, but if you kill us, things might not go as smoothly for you. While I'm young and my grandpa hasn't handed over the reins of the family to me, I do have a card..."

The kidnappers hesitated.

"Boss, could this kid be bluffing?" one of them questioned.

Lucas remained calm despite the doubt. "If you don't believe me, feel free to check the balance in the account. I may be in a vulnerable position now, but I have no reason to deceive you."
