Coolest Girl in Town (Elise and Alexander) novel Chapter 622

Chapter 622 Hateful but Miserable

“Hurry! Someone! Retrieve the money!”

That was the first thing David said after he snapped back to his senses.

Then, three hours later, he drove alone to an abandoned factory located south of the city.

The employees had packed ten million cash in two suitcases, and he used a lot of effort before he finally managed to drag it to the second floor of the building.

“Daddy!” Celina was bound to the chair and stood up in excitement upon seeing him, but Edwin forced her back into her seat with a knife. “Don’t move!”

Edwin pressed the knife’s sharp edge against her neck, and if it just got a little closer, it could cut through her delicate skin at any time.

As David loved his daughter dearly, he was awash with panic. “Stop! Don’t hurt Nana!”

“Hmph!” A sardonic laugh escaped Edwin’s lips. “Don’t worry, David. Nana is the woman I love the most in my life. How can I ever bear to hurt her?”

“Love? Is this what you call love?” David was furious as he tossed the suitcases on the floor.

“There are many ways to love a person. Just because you haven’t experienced it before doesn’t mean that it’s not love. For example, Nana wanted to leave the hospital and I took her away. Is this not true love?” Edwin asked casually.

“I’m not interested in your twisted reasoning,” David retorted and kicked the suitcases toward him. “I’ve brought you ten million. Now, let her go!”

“Don’t be in such a rush.” Then, as Edwin held the dagger in his hand, he paced around Celina and said lazily, “I’m afraid I’ll have to trouble you to bring the money to me so that I can check it with my own eyes.”

“There’s no need for that,” David sneered. “Ten million for my daughter’s life is nothing to me.”

“Of course, of course. Nana’s life is worth much more than me,” he said sarcastically. “However, regardless of our relationship, money is money, so it’s better to be safe than sorry, no? Besides, I don’t think you would like this to happen a second time, am I right?”

David didn’t rise to his provocation. Edwin was currently shouldering a large sum of debt and was now an outlaw who would do anything just for money.

Nana is in his hands now, and I can’t trigger him, David thought.

At the thought of this, he restrained his temper, carried the suitcases again, and dropped them about two feet away from Edwin before retreating to a safe distance.

Edwin waited until David was a distance away before he went forward to open the two suitcases, and his jaw dropped when he saw the amount of cash. Ten million; never before had he seen this amount of money, and now, all of it belonged to him!

He could pay off all of his debts, start another business, and make a comeback with this money. At that time, who would dare to look down on him again?

“You have your money. Now, keep your end of the bargain and let Nana go!” David urged.

Edwin’s face sank as he heard David’s commanding voice, but he still had feelings for Celina and didn’t actually want to kill her. “You can go now,” he said expressionlessly.

Celina immediately sprang to her feet and bolted toward David when she heard that. “Daddy!”

In a few seconds, David undid the ropes on her person, and she sobbed. “Let’s go, Daddy! Let’s go home! I don’t want to stay here any longer.”
