“Why do you have so many requests?!” Spencer snorted impatiently, and waved someone to bring the baby over, “You see, can you do it?!”
Esmae ignored Spencer’s impatience, and her eyes changed softly when she touched the baby. The baby was sleeping peacefully at this time, and it seemed that there was no serious problem, but she didn’t know what happened to Lucia now.
When she was thinking of Lucia, Esmae’s heart ached. She couldn’t look at her even though she was in the cabin not far from her.
“Okay, I’ll call.” Esmae finally reached out, but Spencer spoke again before she could touch the phone.
“Turn on speakerphone.”
Esmae frowned, picked up the phone and thought for a while, and then slowly pressed her husband’s phone number.
At the same time, on the helicopter hundreds of nautical miles away, Chris was awakened by the vibration of his mobile phone. He opened his eyes and took out his mobile phone. When he saw a call from an unfamiliar mobile phone number, he quickly asked the pilot to contact Arthur.
“An unfamiliar number is calling!” Chris said anxiously as soon as the communication was connected.
“It could be Spencer calling. Everyone keep quiet, reduce flight speed, and avoid exposure,” Arthur said.
When the helicopter slowed down and the noise was as low as possible, Chris answered the phone, and all those who listened through the communication equipment held their breath.
“Hello.” After the call was connected, Chris tried his best to say calmly.
“Chris, it’s me, Esmae.” Esmae was also trying to contain her emotions. God knew how much she missed her husband.
“Esmae!” Chris didn’t expect that the person who called him was actually Esmae. He was so excited that he almost stood up, but his daughter beside him grabbed him quickly. Otherwise he would lose his balance. After calming himself down, Chris quickly asked,
“Esmae! Where are you now?! Did Spencer do anything to you?!”
On the other end of the phone, Esmae saw Spencer cast a warning look at herself, so she pursed her lips before saying,
“He didn’t do anything to me, and Lucia and the baby… are fine too…”
Esmae’s intermittent answer made everyone’s heart jump into their throats instantly, especially Arthur, who was already ready to experience the pain of cutting out his heart.
“Esmae, is Spencer right next to you?” Chris was so sensible and asked immediately when his wife’s tone was wrong.
“Yes.” Esmae answered without waiting for Spencer to say something.
Spencer gritted his teeth and could only suppress his irritation.
“He actually asked you to contact me. Esmae, is there something wrong?” Chris asked again after confirming.
“He is now threatening the baby and Lucia, asking us to give him 60% of the shares to fight against Davonnis Corp. He promises to release them after getting the shares, and gives us 50% of the shares back after successfully taking back Davonnis Corp. Chris, you know I can’t make the decision alone, and I need to ask for your consent on this matter.”
Esmae spoke slowly, regardless of the time limit Spencer had set for her.
“Mom, don’t listen to Spencer. He must be lying to you!” Helena said loudly after receiving the hint from her father’s eyes.
Esmae understood, so she replied awkwardly,
“I know too… but the baby and Lucia are in his hands, and now even I can’t protect myself… he also threatened…”
Spencer snatched the phone from Esmae before she finished speaking. He glared at Esmae angrily, and warned her to choose her words carefully!
Just when Esmae’s voice stopped abruptly, Reynolds saw Arthur clutching the seat belt tightly. All the veins on the back of his hand burst out, and his purple pupils were terribly dark.
“Put Spencer on the phone and I’ll talk to him directly.” Chris said after Esmae was silent.
Esmae stared at Spencer coldly, to see if he dared speak up.
Spencer hesitated for a moment and finally spoke,
“Mr. Brown, you should already be clear about my conditions.”
Hearing Spencer’s voice, everyone wanted to skin him alive.
“Have you considered the consequences of what you did?” Chris ignored Spencer’s words, but instead said,
“Even if I agree to your request, what kind of character Edwin has and how powerful is Davonnis Corp? Do you think you have the ability to compete with them?”
“You don’t need to worry about it.” Spencer felt that he was being scorned, and said in a bad tone.
“Of course I will,” Chris said resolutely.
“Even if you are making an ordinary investment, you need to know the feasibility of the project in advance, right? If I hand over half of the company to you, what if you can’t win Davonnis Corp in ten or twenty years?”
“Of course I can!” Spencer said angrily.
“Why can you?!” Chris asked sharply.
“That’s what they owe me!” Spencer was annoyed by Chris, and lost his mind,
“Stop talking nonsense! If you don’t agree, you can wait to collect Esmae’s body! Anyway, I have already gone ahead regardless!”
Chris tried his best to maintain his composure. Although he was very anxious, he said in a cold voice,
“I just asked you a few questions that should be asked and you are so angry. How can I trust you?”
Spencer didn’t want to talk to Chris any more, so he said in a vicious voice,
“I don’t care if you believe me or not. The trump card is in my hands. Whether it’s you or Arthur, as long as I want, you can only agree to all my requests, and don’t talk to me about the truth. In a word, do you agree!?”
“I have to think about this matter,” Chris said slowly, “If it were you, you wouldn’t be able to give an immediate reply, would you?”
Spencer frowned again and again, feeling like he was about to cry.
“Esmae, don’t worry. Everything is fine with us, and Teddy is fine in New York. Wait patiently for me for a while. I will discuss it with the children.” Ignoring Spencer’s silence, Chris seized the opportunity to say something, a clever reference to Teddy.
Spencer, who was furious, naturally didn’t pay attention to it, but Esmae heard every word her husband said! God knew how hard it took her to control her excitement! They know about the locator! They were already on their way!
“Since you can’t make a decision right away, I’ll give you another 12 hours. When the time is up, if you can’t meet my request, I’ll take one of the three!” Spencer said viciously. After swearing harshly, he hung up the phone directly. He threw the phone on the ground hard, staring at Esmae and gasping for breath.
