Chapter 472 Salma’s Dream (2)
The kidnapper claimed to have abducted Jodie and Simone, instructing them to bring the ransom.
In her dream, Steven was on a business trip abroad. She called him, and he instructed her to take their sons and rescue the hostages.
He also wired the requested ransom to her account and sought assistance from nearby help.
Without hesitation, she and her sons took the money and went to the designated location.
The kidnapper had been monitoring their house, and he threatened to harm both hostages if they dared to involve the police.
Therefore, they didn’t report to the police and decided to use the money to rescue the hostages first. Upon learning of the situation, Leon also joined them.
Upon arrival, Salma saw Jodie and Simone tied up with ropes while the kidnapper held a gun.
Negotiations ensued. In order to save the hostages, they continued to bargain with the kidnapper, promising to give him the money in exchange for their release.
However, for some unknown reason, the kidnapper suddenly became sadistic and demanded that they make a choice.
They had to choose between releasing either Jodie or Simone first
The kidnapper intended to keep the other as a hostage and would only release them after safely leaving with the money.
This demand from the kidnapper caught them off guard.
From the kidnapper’s perspective, it was a reasonable request.
Jodie cried and suggested that they choose Simone. She explained that although Simone had martial arts. skills, Simone was the biological daughter of the Gray Family.
Therefore, they should save Simone first, and she volunteered to stay as a hostage.
Salma, in her dream, realized that Jodie was intentionally manipulating the situation.
Jodie was strategically retreating, trying to get them to choose her over Simone.
Although it seemed fake, those present believed it.
Simone remained silent, calmly waiting for their decision.
This comparison made those in the dream perceive Jodie as more sensible and considerate.
Jodie’s words also reminded them of something.
When Simone was with the Gray Family, she would wake up early every morning to practice martial arts taught by her master.

Moreover, they had favored Jodie for so long, so their hearts were biased.
They believed that Simone, rather than Jodie, was more suitable to be taken hostage.
Therefore, they chose Jodie without hesitation.
Leon also made the same choice.
Then Salma witnessed the hope in Simone’s eyes completely shattered, and she chuckled self- deprecatingly
She displayed an expression that seemed to have already anticipated this outcome.
She carried a sense of sadness and determination as if she had made a decision.
Salma felt a knot in her heart as she observed this scene.
She also noticed the touched expression on Jodie’s face, but there was a hint of smugness in her eyes. Obviously, what she said earlier was insincere, otherwise, she could have offered herself as a hostage again.
Following the agreement, the kidnappers released Jodie.
Just as Jodie approached them, Simone stood up. They all thought that the kidnappers would take the money and escape with Simone, abandoning her once they reached a safe place.
However, the kidnapper suddenly burst into laughter.
