You Complete Me novel (Skylar and Coralie) novel Chapter 417

At Skyton Corporation, Skylar had stayed in his office the entire night.

After the kidnappers had received a message from Skylar saying "don't go overboard", they did not send anything to Valerie anymore.

Skylar did not act rashly either. Instead, he showed the video to the police.

"Well, generally, kidnappers prefer to choose this kind of place to retrieve the money. After all, as there are many people there, it would be easy for them to get away."

"Okay, I'll prepare the money."

Skylar was relieved that the kidnappers had agreed to lower the ransom to 10 million dollars. It was possible for him to prepare that amount of money at one go. He was willing to give the money to the kidnappers in exchange for the safety of Coralie and Lillian.

In the video, he saw that Lillian had been severely beaten up. However, saving them was the top priority.

After making the decision, the police contacted the team members who searched Greenerie District to ask if they had found the location of the kidnapping yet.

"Captain Andrews, Greenerie District is too large and we dare not act rashly so we were not able to move fast and have not found them yet."

The team member replied.

The police officer, whose name was Ned Andrews, took another look at the video sent by the kidnappers. He noticed the mud on Coralie's shoes and asked, "Has it rained in Greenerie District these few days?"

"No, it has not."

"Then look around and see if there are any abandoned houses near a pond or swamp."

Ned said immediately.

"Yes, sir!"

The team member immediately sprang into action.

"Pond?"

Skylar was also a little confused.

"Look at this video and you will notice that there is mud on your wife's shoes. It did not seem to have been there yesterday, indicating that she should have been walking around. If it did not rain in the past few days, this means that your wife and mother are most probably held near a pond."

Ned explained.

With this clue, the search area became smaller.

At that moment, Valerie, who slept on the chair in the lounge, was exhausted.

Skylar instructed Lorraine to deliver breakfast to her.

When Lorraine entered, Valerie asked with a bitter face, "Is there any news? When can I leave?"

In reality, Valerie wanted to know if Skylar had sent the message according to what she had said. If he did, then the kidnappers would have definitely noticed it and might have already killed both Coralie and Lillian.

"I don't know."

Ever since Lorraine saw that Valerie's phone was used to communicate with the kidnappers, she no longer had a good impression of Valerie.

She placed the breakfast down and went out.

At that moment, Skylar received a WhatsApp message on Valerie's mobile phone.

The messages were directly displayed at the screen.

Jasper: [Did you sleep well? I'm going to A City this afternoon. I'll contact you when I get

there.]

Skylar saw that it was from Jasper and did not pay any attention to it. He then placed the phone back into his pocket.

At noon, Ned suddenly came with a news that the team members had seen a house by the pond. They saw that there was signs that Coralie and Lillian were being held inside as there was some leftover take-out boxes there.

There was also traces of wheels at the entrance of the house. From the current situation, it seemed that they had already left. At this time, Skylar had already prepared ten million dollars in cash, placed inside two suitcases.

At 6:30 pm, the police monitored the area around Starry milk tea shop at Fortune Star Commercial Street. There were also many undercover policemen there.

Skylar drove the car alone and parked it in a parking lot nearest to the milk tea shop. At 7 pm, he took the two suitcases out of the trunk of his car and placed them at the entrance of the shop.

After that, he left.

Many passersby looked at the two suitcases, but none of them took them.
