Free Web NovelChapter 96: Choose Between Them
"You said that you only brought 3 million dollars with you, right?" said the masked kidnapper, who seemed to be deep in thought.
After a moment, he continued, "Since you only have 3 million dollars, we’ll only release one of them. You can choose between these two!"
"What did you say?" Michael never expected things to come to this. He said, "I can give you however much money you want as long as you promise to let the both of them go! You should know that I’m Michael Lucas, the president of MC Enterprise. I have nothing but money! And right now, I just want the both of them to be safe!"
"Hey, are you losing your temper?" the masked kidnapper brought his knife to Wendy’s face as he said, "Your wife and girlfriend are both with us right now. How dare you raise your voice?!
Michael grew afraid. He was terrified that they would hurt Wendy with the knife. He immediately lowered his voice and said, "Alright, I won’t lose my temper. Can we just talk about this?"
"There’s nothing to talk about. You only brought 3 million dollars with you, that’s a far cry from the 1 billion that I asked for. I also know that if I send my men to fetch the remaining cash from your car, they won’t make it back alive. So, we are fine leaving the rest of the money behind. But you can only choose to take one of them back with you. As for the other..." The masked kidnapper looked at the sea and said, "I’ll just feed her to the fish."
"Don’t do that!" Michael was starting to regret letting Wendy leave his side in the first place.
She had gotten herself into trouble the moment she did. If he had known that this would happen, he would have insisted on keeping her by his side no matter how much she hated him.
The masked kidnapper glanced at Wendy, and then at Michael. He said, "Ha ha ha, they are both beauties indeed. I guess it’s true that rich people really are lucky. I just wonder who is more important to you, Mr. Lucas. Is it your wife, or your girlfriend?"
"Michael, please save me!" Yvonne screamed as she continued crying, "You must choose to save me. You promised Harold that you would take care of me for the rest of your life. If I end up dead, how will you answer to him in the afterlife?" Right now, Yvonne could only bring up Harold Wilson. She wanted to live. She did not want to get thrown into the sea.
"What about you?" said the masked kidnapper as he patted Wendy’s face with the knife, "Won’t you say something for yourself?"
Wendy bit down on her bottom lip. She did not know if Michael would choose to rescue her.
After all, he believed that the child she was carrying did not belong to him and he hated her for that. It was obvious that he would probably choose to save Yvonne over her Wendy was not afraid of death. However, she did not wish for her unborn child to die with her.
Closing her eyes, she allowed herself to hope again. "Michael, whether you believe it or not, the child is yours. If you don’t want to watch us both die before your eyes, I hope that you can choose to save us," she said.
"Alright, the performance is over," said the masked kidnapper as he shoved both Yvonne and Wendy, forcing them to turn their backs to Michael, "You shouldn’t look at him, this is too cruel."
"Alright, you can make your decision now. Point at whoever you want me to release," the masked kidnapper continued as he looked at Michael.
"I’ll give you three seconds to decide. If you can’t choose either one before that, they’ll both end up in the sea."
"Three..."
Right now, Wendy’s heart was in turmoil. She did not know who Michael would choose. Perhaps Michael still hated her, and perhaps he still refused to believe the truth about the child.
Even if he did believe her, he still had to choose her over Yvonne. Otherwise, she would die along with her baby.
"Two..."
Michael stared at both Yvonne and Wendy. He. did not know what to do. Wendy was the woman he loved most in his life, whereas Yvonne was someone he had promised he would take care of forever. No matter who he chose, he would feel guilty for as long as he lived.
"One..."
"I choose her!" At the very last second, Michael glanced at Yvonne apologetically as he pointed straight at Wendy.
Indeed, he felt responsible for Harold Wilson’s death, and he had promised his friend that he would take good care of Yvonne. However, he could not just sit back and watch Wendy get tossed into the sea. If he absolutely had to choose between them, his decision would be Wendy.
Wendy felt a heavy shove before her entire body fell sideways into the sea.
"No!" Michael did not expect the masked kidnapper to do this. He had obviously chosen Wendy. Why was she the one being pushed into the sea instead?
He ran over with the intention of jumping off the boat and rescuing Wendy, but before he could take a single step, someone struck him from behind, and he collapsed to the ground.
