William didn't say anything. If she hadn't heard his faint breathing, Jane would have thought he wasn't listening.
She was not afraid but ashamed.
Female lead almost cheated on him. Although she hadn't done it, it had driven a wedge between them.
Therefore, he must have wished female lead had been dead. It was quite kind of him not to ask the kidnappers to kill her.
Jane took a deep breath and cleared her mind. She cried, "They want 300 million, so just give it to them! Our son can't lose his mother!"
On the other end of the phone, William, who had just lit up a cigarette, still didn't reply.
He was really pissed off. She was unfaithful, and he sucked it up. Now she was using their son, whom she had never cared about, to threaten him to save her own skin.
A sarcastic smile touched his lips, but no word escape from them.
Jane was helpless. What was wrong with this guy?
"Ten, nine, eight...."
The kidnapper's man kept saying the seconds she had left, which was getting smaller.
She couldn't wait any longer!
Perhaps because the female lead was also called Jane, Jane was engrossed in the book.
The kidnappers had taken female lead to a suburb called Pine Forest. It was surrounded by mountains. A few decades ago, martyrs had been buried there.
However, it had never been exploited, so a person who was unfamiliar with its history might not know about it.
However, Jane was sure William knew. At least according to female lead's memories, he was almost omnipotent.
"Darling, save me. If you don't give them the ransom, they will kill me. You have to come and mourn me next year. I don't want to join the martyrs! It's so quiet here. I would be lonely."
Jane said it as fast as she could, making sure he understood.
She could see the countdown man frowning because they were close to each other. So, to distract him, she shouted in shame, "If I die, I will haunt you and our son until you would come with me!"
William was shocked.
The kidnapper duo were also astonished.
The last second passed, and the countdown man snatched the phone and hung up. Then, he heaved a sigh of relief. He glanced at Jane and felt lucky the vicious woman wasn't his wife.
The call ended abruptly, but William's eyes were deep and calm without any emotions. He blew out a smoke ring in silence and dialed a number, saying in a low voice, "That woman is tied up in Pine Forest..."
Jane was abashed. She had to say that even if she felt terrible for it.
"Don't be so shocked. Otherwise, he wouldn't give you the 300 million. You know how fast men's hearts change."
She explained to the kidnappers with a sigh. Wearing a morose look, she thought back what she had just said and was confident he knew where she was. She had given him enough clues. Trees, martyrs, being quiet. It could only be Pine Forest in this city.
However, she could not put all her hope on William. She racked her brains for ways to escape.
"You are right."
The kidnapper boss did not say anything, but his man nodded in agreement.
It was said marrying into wealthy families were harder than going to the moon. A woman had to be gorgeous and smart to succeed. Nevertheless, Jane didn't have a good figure and still looked dowdy in designer label. She shouldn't be this way even though she had a son.
