Jennifer went cold with fury when she heard Linda's words.
“So what if I'm the company's CEO? That doesn't mean the company's money is mine. I don't have five million, so please leave now!”
Leonard's shoulders slumped when he heard Jennifer's words.
He gave Linda a tug, signaling for her to stop talking.
“Jenny, since you don't have five million, we shall take our leave. I noticed that you've lost some weight, so it's important for you to take care of yourself by getting adequate rest instead of pushing yourself too hard with work,” he said in a caring tone.
That was the first time Leonard had ever spoken to Jennifer this way.
Jennifer's eyes turned red at his caring words.
However, she refused to give in because they had treated her too harshly in the past.
“Wait a minute.” Donald, who was sitting on the couch, suddenly spoke up. “I have five million. I can lend the money to you.”
“Darling, you...”
Donald gave a wave, effectively cutting Jennifer off. He wanted her to stay out of this.
“I have a condition, though,” he added.
“What is it? We will agree to anything.”
Leonard and Linda were willing to do anything to save their son.
Donald met their gazes calmly and said, “It's simple. If the kidnapping is real, I'll give you the five million without asking you to repay it. On the contrary, if Kevin had planned his own kidnapping, I'll break his legs and send him to jail. I apologize for that in advance.”
The three were taken aback by Donald's condition.
Kevin planned his own kidnapping? Why would he do that?
Jennifer was familiar with her little brother's personality, so she knew there was a possibility Kevin would do that.
“Darling, are you implying that Kevin is attempting to defraud us of five million dollars by staging his own kidnapping?”
