Chapter 384
\nIn My Desperate Time novel Chapter 384<\/p>\n
“I know them.”<\/p>\n
I say calmly.<\/p>\n
“Who are they?” The policeman immediately asks.<\/p>\n
“My ex-husband, Andrew, and his mother, Susan.” I say in a deep voice.<\/p>\n
Frances looks at me in surprise.<\/p>\n
“Are you sure? The camera didn’t even take their faces. Have you mistaken?” The policeman asks doubtfully.<\/p>\n
“No. I’m sure it’s them.”<\/p>\n
Actually, I’ve always wanted to let go of those unpleasant memories. However, I can recognize the mother and son whatever they become.<\/p>\n
I am also surprised to see them, but I am sure that my eyes don’t deceive me.<\/p>\n
Andrew comes to Frances’ house to find me for money before. It’s likely that he kidnaps old Mr. Louis for money too.<\/p>\n
Frances’ phone rings.<\/p>\n
He quickly picks it up and turns on the speakerphone as instructed by the policeman.<\/p>\n
The policemen sit in front of the computer and begin to locate Andrew.<\/p>\n
“Hello. It’s Mr. Frances, right?” Andrew laughs on the phone.<\/p>\n
I feel uncomfortable with his laughter.<\/p>\n
I still don’t understand why I marry such a person before. If Frances hasn’t taken me away from Andrew, I can’t imagine what I would have suffered.<\/p>\n
But it has been so long, why should I still live in his shadow?<\/p>\n
“Give me a price.” Frances says coldly. He knows Andrew’s purpose.<\/p>\n
“Mr. Frances is really straightforward. Well, I will go straight to the point. If you want this old man to be safe, give me 100 million!”<\/p>\n
A hundred million? Is Andrew crazy?<\/p>\n
Not only me, but all the policemen present gasp.<\/p>\n
Everyone knows that it is a large sum. It’s a goal that most people can’t achieve even in ten lifetimes.<\/p>\n
“I’ll go take a look first.”<\/p>\n
As Frances speaks, he strides out.<\/p>\n
Frances doesn’t ask the police to follow him in case that it will alert Andrew and anger him.<\/p>\n
I sit in the front passenger seat and look at Frances, who has a solemn expression on his face. I can’t help but feel a little worried.<\/p>\n
Although he doesn’t say anything, I can tell that he is really nervous.<\/p>\n
“Frances, old Mr. Louis will be fine.”<\/p>\n
I put my hand on his slightly cold hand and whisper.<\/p>\n
He glances at me and nods. Then he drives a little faster.<\/p>\n
Two hours later, we arrive at the fork in the southern mountainous area.<\/p>\n
However, it’s a meadow. There is no place to hide. Where could Andrew be?<\/p>\n
Under the instructions of the police, we find the phone Andrew left behind in the bushes by the roadside.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-408","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/408","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=408"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
