Jeremy laughed in spite of himself and was very pleased to hear Enrico sounding so hateful.
He stood and bent down next to Paige and spoke into the computer, “How’s that, Adversary, after trapping your old man for so many years, you still like this big gift, don’t you?”
Paige sat there and listened as Enrico’s breathing steepened.
“Give me back Paige and I’ll send you out of the country!” Enrico negotiated with suppressed extreme anger.
“Going is certainly going to happen.” Jeremy sneered, “But how, I’ll have to decide.”
With that, he looked down at Paige coldly.
Paige received a pursed line of sight, took a deep breath, and said in a relatively normal and calm voice, “Enrico, prepare 10 billion dollars worth of diamonds, and then give an absolutely safe channel to leave Country A.”
As the words fell, Enrico’s breathing stuttered over there.
His voice suddenly became low, “Did he beat you?”
“No, I’m more important than a hostage, how could he hit me.”
As a hostage, Paige had taken it upon herself to take Jeremy out.
There was no way she could do anything if Enrico knew she’d been kicked and spilled tea and drugged and brought people around.
“Okay.” Upon hearing this, Enrico’s tone settled a little, and continued to maneuver with Jeremy, “Jeremy, the situation in the country is too chaotic right now, and it’s not good to raise 10 billion dollars in diamonds.”
“This is your business, don’t bargain with me.” Jeremy’s face was gloomy.
“Okay, then where do I go to give it to you when I’m ready?” Enrico asked.
“Heh.” Jeremy sneered and didn’t answer his words, only saying, “I’ll give you 6 hours to prepare, and after 6 hours, I’ll contact you again.”
After saying that, Jeremy directly hung up the phone.
Paige sat in the chair in silence, staring at the hung up call on the screen.
The call was wasted.
Jeremy tried to let Enrico know that he was leaving the country with a roll of Enrico’s money, and had even thought of exchanging it for easy-to-carry diamonds to take with him.
But Jeremy must have thought of all the possibilities when he hibernated for years to hold back such a big move.
Even if A country is forced to lock up the country, Enrico as long as it is still the boss of the domestic plutocrats, there are certain means to take Enrico’s money to leave with Enrico’s channels, there are too many consequences.
Will make this call, undoubtedly to stabilize Enrico, let him go to raise diamonds, do not come to bother themselves to do the final planning.
What this final planning was not known.
Paige pretended not to see through him and said, “You are really prudent, cash gold is not brought, only diamonds, also, diamonds are much better to carry.”
At that, Jeremy looked down at her with contempt, “You really thought I’d leave with that retrograde son’s diamonds?”
Didn’t think so.
Paige pretended to look at him in shock, “How are you going to leave without him?”
“That’s just stabilizing him.” Jeremy grunted, “I’ll make my own arrangements.”
With that, Jeremy lowered his hands and tapped a few times on his keyboard, and a screen immediately played on the screen.
The screen showed a path, a river, and mountains in the distance.
It was surveillance.
Underneath the camera was somewhat familiar wood, the same wood as in the house.
It was was the scene outside the house.
Paige’s heart skipped a beat, there was surveillance outside this cabin.
Jeremy glanced at it and reached out to drag the progress bar back, Paige held her breath and suddenly stood up with all her might and reached out to grab onto his arm, “What are you an … uh.”
Halfway through her sentence, her heart was beating so fast it felt like her whole heart was going to jump out of her throat, and she collapsed helplessly onto the coffee table.
The laptop was knocked to the floor by her.
“Bang.”
A heavy thud.
“What are you doing?” Jeremy knocked her back into her chair as soon as she bent down and picked up the laptop.
The computer wasn’t broken, but Jeremy lost interest in dragging back the progress bar and turned his head to glare at her.
Paige sat paralyzed in her chair, covering her heart in agony and gasping for air, the pupils in her eyes dilating and shrinking, her face so pale that there wasn’t a trace of blood in it.
“You looking for death?” Jeremy glared at her viciously, smacking of a long life and still daring to exert himself.
“You’re too strong for this drug.” Paige frowned tightly, gasping for air.
“Don’t worry, it’s not the Ferris wheel virus, and I have a life to live.” Jeremy sneered.
Enrico hadn’t been as strict with his house arrest in previous years, and he’d gotten a lot of drugs in his private life.
After saying that, Jeremy pulled out a pill box from his own pocket, opened it, and took out a pill and put it on the tea table, “Take it, it’ll give you some relief, at least have the strength to take a walk.”
“…”
Paige glanced at the pill and made no move, just looked at him.
“Take it, I don’t want your life for a while, and I want you to go do something for me.” Jeremy said coldly.
“…”
Paige was silent for a few seconds, and with some difficulty lifted her hand to grab the pill and put it in her mouth, only to swallow it dry before asking, “What do you want me to do?”
Jeremy is not in a hurry, Xu Xu said, “I gave you poison, three hours to take one of these pills can alleviate the symptoms, if you can’t take it in three hours, your heart will beat faster and faster, the average person who can’t carry it for less than four hours will have to die, you may be better, five hours.”
“…”
“Before this is done, you’ll find me in three hours to take a pill to ease the symptoms, after it’s done, I’ll give you the antidote.” Jeremy continued.
Paige sat paralyzed, only to feel a slight pain in her throat and stomach as the medicine went down, but her heartbeat was calming down.
“It seems like this thing that needs to be done, you can’t do it yourself.” Paige asked weakly, looking over at him.
Getting all these tricks going was nothing more than him needing a manipulable hostage, but it wasn’t like he was looking for anyone else, knowing she wasn’t easy to control, and still only looking for her.
Could this be something that could only be done by her?
Jeremy stood there, his eyes fixed on her grimly-
“I want you in THE Davis family.”
“the Davis family?”
Paige was stunned; this was something she hadn’t expected.
The westernmost part of country A, was the Davis family, Enrico’s grandparent’s family?
The Davis family has been avoiding the world for nearly a hundred years, and now there is no sound of unicorn characters coming out of the Davis family, not to mention the fact that only a handful of people know that the Davis family has the AS schizophrenia gene.
What’s with the Davis family all of a sudden?
Jeremy looked at her, “I want you to go into the Davis family and find something for me, that’s all.”
“It’s not simple.”
Paige reacted quickly, “Enrico heard his sister say that the Davis family seems to have a rule that they avoid the world for generations and don’t get involved in outside disputes, and once you’re out of the Davis family’s door, you’re not a member of the Davis family and have no relationship with the Davis family anymore. That’s why when Annie had her accident, no one from the Davis family ever stepped forward.”
“That’s right, not only that, THE Davis FAMILY is remote and has made some connections and doesn’t have to register the household. The outside world doesn’t even know how many mouths the Davis family actually has, maybe they’re all dead or crazy.”
Jeremy said in cold blood, as if he wasn’t talking about his own wife’s family.
Paige fought back her disgust and said, “Then how am I supposed to get in there and find something? I’m Enrico’s wife, but it’s not like the Davis family will recognize it.”
