Let Me Stay The Night

Chapter 599 Strategem 

Nathaniel had always been independent-minded since he was a child. Nobody could ever influence his decisions.

Thus, Charlie had already gotten used to Nathaniel’s aloof response to his advice.

Nathaniel caught the ball Lucas had accidentally kicked in his direction and stood up casually.

“I will protect my family.”

He strode toward the children following that haughty declaration.

Julia appeared beside Charlie with a platter of fruits. She watched as he took a sip of tea while staring fixedly at his cup, so she asked, “Penny for your thoughts?”

Charlie sighed. “He’s become more capable than me. My son, indeed.”

Julia fell silent for a split second as she could make neither head nor tail of her husband’s remark, which came out of nowhere. She then laughed. “Well, of course. I gave birth to him, after all. I think he takes after me.”

Smiling wordlessly, Charlie wisely refrained from making a comment lest he was sentenced to spend the Tight in the study.

That night, the Hadley residence was filled with laughter and chatter while the Gibson residence was enveloped in an awful, tense gloom.

Azure had received a call from the kidnappers demanding twenty million in ransom, which was to be collected by daybreak and sent to a location of their choosing at a predetermined time.

Seized by panic, she sought Timothy and Yerek to discuss a strategy: the latter only found out about Anya’s kidnapping that night.

After Azure relayed the whole situation, Yerek raised several points of concern.

The kidnappers did not immediately demand a ransom after getting their hands on Anya. Instead, they waited almost a full day to call her family.

Yerek thought the behavior strange, as kidnappers had no other motives for committing such a risky crime aside from money.
