Chapter 237 Passing The Baton
With a wave of her hand, Anastasia made a signal to her men. About ten minutes later, Leonard and Linda were brought to the scene. On top of that, they also pushed Kevin, whose entire body was wrapped in bandages, to the scene on the hospital bed.
Anastasia then activated the countdown by pushing a button on the bomb. “You only have five minutes. If you still refuse to speak, this bomb will send you and your family straight to hell!”
Linda hollered straight away, “Quick, Jenny, tell her!”
“I don’t want to die, Jennifer! Just give it to them if you have it!” Kevin chimed in.
A conflicted visage appeared on Jennifer’s face before she muttered, “Okay, I’ll talk. But you have to free all of them.”
Wearing a bright smile, Anastasia agreed, “Sure! Tyler, kill everyone except Jennifer’s family!”
Upon hearing her words, Jennifer yelled right away, “No! Please don’t! Let them go! Otherwise, I won’t tell you anything!”
Slap!
Anastasia landed a tight slap across Jennifer’s face. “Did you actually think you have the right to bargain with me right now?”
A trail of blood instantly appeared on Jennifer’s fair cheek. She lifted her head and remarked obstinately, “How could you be so sure I haven’t copied the content of the flash drive? And how could you be sure I haven’t shown it to a third party?”
“How gutsy,” scoffed Anastasia coldly. “Release twenty of them first.”
“I want every single one of them out of here, everyone except for me!” demanded Jennifer, looking all the more determined. She was still holding onto the bomb. There were three minutes left on the timer before the bomb would explode.
Slap!
Anastasia flung her palm and gave Jennifer another smack on the face. “Fine, I’ll take a final step back. They can go, but your family can’t! If I hear one more word from you, I’ll kill your parents immediately! Just let me finish checking the flash drive first, and then I’ll let you guys off!”
“Okay.” Jennifer nodded.
