Chapter 68 A Second Present

“Condition?”

“Yes,” Trenton nodded, “Makenna never mentioned that she had an older sister, did she?”

Jared nodded.

A look filled with hatred shone in Trenton’s eyes, contorting his entire face, “Her name was

Makayla, she was our first daughter. When she was still a little child, she was abducted. We

called the police, but it provoked the kidnappers, so they drowned her. Ever since then, my wife’s

mental condition has never been the same, until…”

A light sparkled in Trenton’s eyes, “After Makenna was born, her state seemed to have gotten better. I never thought that Makenna would get kidnapped as well. This has triggered her mental illness again after twenty years!”

Jared tried to take in all this information.

Mrs. Gardner was probably worried that calling the police would provoke the kidnappers to kill

Makenna.

!

“If that’s the case, I’ll call a security company and hire some men to rescue Makenna.”

Jared was about to make a call, but this time, Trenton’s phone rang.

Trenton placed Mrs. Gardner to the side, and looked at the anonymous call. It didn’t even display the location from where the caller was calling from.

Trenton looked at his phone for a few seconds, then picked up, “This is Trenton Gardner.”

“I heard you’ve been looking for me?” A man’s cheery tone echoed from the phone, but it was

also filled with coldness.

Trenton wrinkled his forehead, “Who is this?”

“Have you forgotten all about me already? I told you last time, I have a second present for you.” The man began to laugh, which was enough to send chills down anyone’s spine.

Trenton suddenly remembered, and his face turned into a scowl, as he hissed, “It’s you!”

It was that fox mask man from last time!

Jared looked perplexed at Trenton, “Sir, what’s the matter?”

Trenton gripped his phone, his hand slightly trembling, but he said nothing.

Over the phone, the man continued to cackle, “Yup, it’s me. I heard you’re all looking for me. So, here I am. Impressed?”

“Who said we’re looking for you?” Trenton was so enraged that even his neck flushed red.

Looking for him? Why the hell would Trenton do this!

“Well, you’re all looking for whoever took Makenna. So, isn’t that me?”

Trenton stood up, “You kidnapped Makenna?”

Jared’s eyes narrowed and stared at the phone in Trenton’s hand.

Mrs. Gardner was incredibly anxious and snatched the phone from Trenton, “Who are you? Why did you kidnap my daughter? Please, let her go, I’ll give you whatever you want.”

“Whatever I want, is that so?” The man giggled.

Mrs. Gardner nodded her head repeatedly, “Yes, just name the price!”

“I don’t want money. If you give me the Trident Group, I’ll let your daughter go. Sounds fair?”

He laughed deviously.

Mrs. Gardner’s expression was frozen.

Trenton grabbed the phone back, “You must be joking!”

No way he would give anyone the Trident Group.

The man did not sound displeased at all, “Come on now, that was just a joke, don’t be so upset, Mr. Gardner. Besides, I never thought about using her to get the Trident Group. I’m sure she’s not even worth that much.”

“Then why did you kidnap Makenna?” Jared’s hands were balled into fists inside his pockets, but he could no longer control himself and shouted out.

The sly man sounded slightly surprised, “Oh, Mr. Farrell’s there as well.”

Jared wasn’t surprised that the caller knew him. After all, this man was out to get the Gardner family, so it’s no surprise he’d looked into all related ties to the family.

“Tell me, why are you doing this!” Jared asked again.
