Chapter 798
Olivia was shaking by the time she got off the phone.
John hugged her from behind. "We tracked down their location. I'll send Wes over..."
"No."
Olivia struggled to stand up straight. She grabbed John, shook her head, and said, "No, Noah wants me to bring five million dollars in exchange. If you send Wes, I'm afraid it'll trigger him, and something might happen to Sam."
With that said, she frowned and looked up at John with a complicated gaze. "He might kill Sam."
John grabbed her by the shoulders and said solemnly, "Olivia, calm down. Killing Sam isn't his goal. If Sam dies, he won't even have leverage. His loss will outweigh the gain."
Olivia's voice trembled. "But... But he's already killed a child. I... I dare not risk it..."
If anything happened to Sam, Olivia could never face Jess after she died.
"I want you to repeat to me what Noah said."
Olivia's eyes went red as she bit her lower lip in panic. She clenched her fist to calm herself. "He... He said... he wants me to trade Sam with myself and another five million dollars."
’With you?"
’He knows I'm Olivia. No..." Olivia shook her head. "He said Dorothy told him I'm Olivia, so he wanted revenge on me."
John's eyes darkened as he pulled her to the car.
'Fasten your seat belt. I'll come with you."
But the money..."
"Don't worry. I'll ask Wes to be prepared. Listen to me calmly and remember what I'm going to say."
He grabbed Olivia and gave her a little shake. "Do you hear me?'
Except for abandoned buildings and old factories, the place was desolate. It looked deserted and terrifying.
John stopped the car. "Wait for me in the car."
With that said, he got out of the car and looked around. There was still some distance from the agreed No. 236, but he was not sure it was safe.
It was not until Wes arrived that he felt relieved.
Wes handed him a bag. "Here's the five million dollars. Sir, wouldn't it be better if I were the one delivering the ransom?"
Suddenly there was screaming from not far away before the two finished speaking.
Then came a frightened cry for help.
'Help! Don't kill me..."
Olivia immediately looked up, opened the car door, and ran toward the voice.
