Chapter 610 Fear
She found the phone in her pocket and happily told Manuel, "Manuel, I'm not having dinner at home today."
Manuel shook his head helplessly, 'I guess I don't matter anymore now that you have a boyfriend."
When Ainsley exited the Gage residence and got into the car, she received Kaitlin's call.
Kaitlin wanted to see Ainsley. After setting a time, the latter sped away.
"Why do you want to see me today?" Ainsley exited the car and looked toward the luxury car beside her. A woman was leaning against the car door, wearing a wide hat that covered her face.
Kaitlin took out a cigarette and lit it. The smoke lingered around them.
She exhaled a puff of smoke. "I have something to tell you."
"When did you learn to how to smoke?" Ainsley covered her nose in disgust.
Kaitlin smiled contemptuously. "I learned it in a mental hospital."
"You can smoke in there?" Ainsley was bewildered.
"Kaitlin should've always been under watch, so how could there be cigarettes?" Ainsley thought.
"While being locked up, there was one night I just couldn't fall asleep. I accidentally found a pack of cigarettes under the bed while sitting on the ground. There were only a few left. So I stole the nurses' lighter and secretly lit one in the early morning. The cigarette had expired, so it had a musty smell. When it was lit, the musty smell was even stronger. I took a puff and coughed for a long time. During the intense coughing, I finally stopped thinking of those disgusting things." Kaitlin exhaled another puff of smoke.
Then, Kaitlin threw the cigarette to the ground and stubbed it out.
"Of course, Ainsley was unaware of the feeling of being at the mercy of fate." She thought bitterly.
Kaitlin waved her hand and brushed away the cigarette smoke before her. She took another puff relishingly before saying, 'Let's not talk about this anymore. I found something.'
"What is it?" Ainsley asked.
"You will be very interested. It's about Kaliyah. Do you know about Jackson's kidnapping a few days ago?" Kaitlin continued.
Ainsley thought for a while and replied, "I saw it on the news."
"The kidnappers asked for a lot of money that night, and we all paid for it, but everyone only cared about saving Jackson that we overlooked one thing. What did Kaliyah do when she disappeared for a while during that night? Previously, I placed a bug in her car to keep tabs on her. I don't know if the sound was too soft, but I could only hear a few words intermittently." Kaitlin took out her phone and pressed the play button. ‘This is the recording. I deleted the blank spaces.'
After a moment of loud noises, Kaliyah's voice came through."... I can satisfy you... Let go of my son... What do you want?"
Then there was some static, and a mechanical voice followed."... the Wade Group shares... the Easton Group... get back... the confession letter..."
Ainsley frowned. She seemed to be able to guess what was going on from the intermittent voices. "To save Jackson, Kaliyah agreed to the kidnapper's condition. And this condition has something to do with the Easton Group and Wade Group. But what exactly is it?"
Kaitlin took back the phone and sneered. 'Who knows what she promised. But you have to be careful of someone,’ Kaitlin said solemnly.
Ainsley looked at Kaitlin confusedly. "Who is it?"
"Samuel Wade," Kaitlin replied.
Ainsley knew who Samuel Wade was. He was the one who was fighting over the Wade Group against Irene.
Ainsley finally understood what the recording was referred to.
