Female Novel
Chapter 1535
I was uncertain if Tobias had realized that something was wrong. Thinking of this, I was about to callmy dad with the phone in my pocket.
But before the call could get through, my hand was held down. Sebastian's handsome face wasmere inches away from mine as he sneered. "If I were you, I wouldn't do that. That sandalwood boxis useless to you anyway. Why must you be so stubborn and go against me?"
I pursed my lips and took my hand out of my pocket. I avoided him and smirked. "If I give you thebox, will you let them go?"
He raised his eyebrows. "Of course I will. You know my goal is simple. Furthermore, I don't want tohurt them. Arianna, no one is born evil."
Hearing him say that, I frowned. "If you wanted to threaten me, you know that just Naomi wouldhave sufficed. Why do you have to bring Sonia's parents into this? They are just a pair of elderlypeople. They won't do you any good. Why do you have to torture them?"
He looked at me. "I wasn't trying to use them against you. It was just a coincidence. Eason owesme too much money. So I had no choice but
to invite his parents here and ask him to pay me the money as soon as possible."
I pursed my lips and asked, "Why don't you just kill that b*stard instead?" He had ruined his entirefamily. I couldn't understand why God allowed people like him to continue living in this world.
He shrugged his shoulders and did not continue this topic. He just looked at me and said, "Give methe box. You know that I really need the things inside. Give it to me and everyone can leaveunharmed."novelbin
I pursed my lips and said indifferently, "Let them come down first. The box is not currently on me.And even if I were to take Naomi away with me, she definitely wouldn't want to."
He smiled and squinted at me. "So what are you suggesting?"
I pursed my lips. "I will give you the thing you want, but you have to let Sonia's parents go. You areaware that they won't be of much help to you. Eason is just a scumbag and he has no morals. Hedoesn't care about his parents, so just set them both free and let them enjoy their retirement. As forEason, just hand him over to the police so that he won't pose a threat to society again."
He sneered. "That's none of my business. To be honest, I don't really trust you, Arianna. You havealready tricked me once, so this time, you have to hand the thing over to me first. If it is not on youright now, I'll let you go back and retrieve it alone. Only then will I let them go."
I frowned. Hendrix had switched out the box and now I had no idea where it was. "It's not that I don'twant to give you the box, but I don't know it is now. Back then when I gave it to you, I didn't evenknow that the box had been switched."
He squinted and was not very delighted by my answer. "You mean, you don't know where the boxis?"
I nodded. "You can say that!"
His face suddenly turned expressionless. He stared at me blankly and said, "Then I'm very sorry.Since you can't find the box, we can talk about it only after you get your hands on it. I think it's betterfor you to stay here for the time being. Don't worry, I won't mistreat you."
