Peter's words struck Eddie like thunder. Eddie was dumbfounded.
"What are you talking about? The wrong person?"
He knew what had happened, but he still couldn't believe it. He wondered how they had made such a ridiculous mistake.
"Eddie, I trusted you so much, and you brought me the wrong person! You're unbelievable!"
Peter was swearing furiously on the other side of the phone, "I want Lydia, not Marie! There's no fun in playing with Marie at all!"
Leo's hearing was a lot more sensitive than ordinary people's. As soon as he heard Peter's voice on the phone, his eyes got colder.
"Peter, I spared you once last time, but you hadn't learned your lesson and wanted to kidnap Lydia..."
Eddie had no idea how much Leo wanted to kill him and Peter at this moment. Leo was in silence, and his face looked quite scary.
Eddie thought Leo was trying to confuse him by saying it was "Marie" instead of "Lydia". Now he knew he had kidnapped the wrong person.
"You gits."
Eddie's mouth corner twitched in anger, but he couldn't take it out at anyone because they were all dead.
Thinking of how nervous Leo had been, Eddie raised the corner of his mouth again and smiled, "Don't worry. We had a little accident, but I still get everything under control."
"What do you mean?"
Eddie chuckled, "No matter it was Lydia or not, the person matters to Leo, and he wouldn't dare to act rashly as long as we have her."
Peter's anger easied a bit upon hearing that. He said, "That sounds about right. The woman resembles Lydia so closely. Maybe they are sisters."
"That's right."
Eddie's smile was even brighter. He said, "She's not Lydia, but she's also a rare hottie. Lydia had been deflowered by some jerk five years ago. She has been used! I think this one was better. You've had a profitable deal, Mr. Lawson."
Peter was amused by what Eddie said. "That's true. You always know what to say! Right... it will be nice to have a try on her sister if I can't get Lydia. "
Eddie's face returned to normal as soon as he hung up. He looked at Leo with a smile and said, "I admit that I've got the wrong person, but does that really matter? I'm the only one who knows where she is. You'll never find her if I'm dead."
Leo was calm. "Why are you so confident?"
"Of course."
Peter smiled brightly, "Try me if you dare."
Boom...
The next moment, Leo showed up before Eddie like lightning, grabbing his throat and squeezing.
Eddie's eyes were almost popping out. His face turned red, and he felt like being suffocated.
However, his facial muscles were twitching.
He was laughing.
Throat being gripped by Leo, he forced a sentence out of his teeth using all his energy.
"It seems that you have made up your mind to kill me. Then you should be quick, or the woman will soon be raped."
That only made Leo's eyes colder. His hands squeezed tighter.
"Yeah, just like that. Kill me."
Eddie's face changed from red to purple. At last, he stuck out his tone like a hanged corpse, but his eyes looked so excited.
"You'll never find her if I die. You'll live in guilt and regret for the rest of your life."
"My father and I would be so glad to see you living in anger and pain."
Leo fell in silence. As furious as he was, he still released him.
As fresh air flowed back in his mouth, Eddie's face returned normal. His face looked delighted again.
