Chapter 871 We Are Divorced (2/2)
He was afraid that the bad news would be another blow to Rita.
Rita was eager to hear any news concerning Dylan. She had been worried about his safety since he had disappeared. After hearing David's cautionary words, Rita became more nervous right away and asked with concern, ”Tell me! Even if it's a bad news, I want to hear everything about my son.”
”Dylan has been kidnapped. The kidnapper requested a large sum of money as ransom. We have to pay 10 million dollars to him. And the kidnapper had another ridiculous request. We must show our divorce certificate to him. Otherwise, we will never see our son again,” David said.
”What?” Rita asked with surprise, ”Our divorce certificate? Why must we show him our divorce certificate?” She wondered if she had in fact heard him correctly.
Rita knew that they could afford 10 million dollars, but she thought it was absurd that the kidnapper wanted their divorce certificate which would just be a useless paper to the kidnapper. It was so weird!
is head? Didn't he want to see David?
”Dylan, why don't you speak to me? Your mom and I have been worried sick about you,” David spoke to Dylan. He felt sad that his son didn't want to look at him.
Although David knew that Dylan was not his biological son, it meant nothing to him. The bonded relationship between them would never be changed. He would treat Dylan as usual. He would always remain his father and was willing to do anything for him.
”Dad! I missed you so much!” Dylan suddenly sobbed. He hadn't expected that his dad would come to save him. Dylan had chosen to lower his head because he didn't want to be upset if he raised his head and found that his dad was not here.
Mistakenly, Dylan had thought that since David wasn't his real dad, he wouldn't love him any more. He had dreamed that his dad had abandoned him and he cried desperately while lost in a desert. Such nightmares kept torturing him. Now all his worries and doubts vanished as soon as he heard the sound of his father's voice.
The leading kidnapper became impatient after seeing that they seemed to be having an endless discussion. He called Jacob and said angrily, ”Enough talking! You can save your greetings and soft words for later. Give the money to my men, and I will release them immediately! And tell the man next to you to give his divorce certificate to my man!”
To avoid the endless talking, Dylan's and Beryl's mouths were quickly tapped shut. One of the kidnappers reached out his hand to David, demanding the divorce certificate.
The kidnapper had heard from his men who were sent to followed David and Rita earlier today that they had gone to the divorce agency and had come out with a divorce certificate in their hands. So the kidnapper believed that they had indeed gotten divorced. The only thing he needed now was the proof.
”I have divorced my wife, as you wished. But before I give the divorce certificate to you, I want to know something. I am wondering who your boss is. Why does he or she want me to divorce my wife?” David asked after taking the cell phone from Jacob. David pulled out the certificate from his pocket as he spoke to the kidnapper. He wanted to push the kidnapper for information, and hopefully he could then infer the real identity of the mastermind behind all this from the man's answer.
At this moment, Dylan was suddenly shocked after he heard that his mom and dad had divorced because of him.
