Chapter 430 Kidnapping And Blackmailing
Seeing this, Jameson didn't know what to say.
"Then you should be careful and be shrewd. There's no need to waste your breath on him. If things don't work out, just kill him. We will protect you behind your back."
Anderson nodded.
Half an hour later.
Clarissa was woken up by the sound of footsteps.
Her head was still dizzy and her eyelids were so heavy that she couldn't open her eyes. When she finally was able to open them, she could only feel darkness in front of her eyes. Not far away, a glimmer of light came in from the outside, and Clarissa could vaguely see a shadowy figure moving.
Where was she?
She recalled she just came out of the hospital. She originally wanted to buy Anderson some of his favorite Chinese food, but after getting into the car, she...
Clarissa frowned and thought, "What happened then?
When she recalled the scene in her memory, she was shocked.
"Oh no!"
Clarissa jolted awake an instant. Almost subconsciously, she bounced up from the ground.
It was pitch-dark all around, and there was a door that was slightly opened in front of her.
There was a little light coming through the door. Her hands were tied behind her back and her feet were tied up as well. She was on a wooden floor and a distinct salty odor could be smelled. The sound of the wind was blowing in her ears. She thought she was on a boat.
"On a boat?"
The thought of it disheartened Clarissa. Her wrist was tied up so tightly that it hurt. She frowned and struggled to get rid of it, but she couldn't. Instead, it tangled around her wrist even more tightly, causing more pain.
Her heart sank slightly. She pursed her lips and moved towards the door with difficulty. In the light, she could see the shadowy figure outside through the crack of the door.
That figure... looked so familiar!
She jogged memory and quickly recalled. Just then, the person turned around and confirmed her guess. It was indeed Issac.
"Issac!" Clarissa shouted loudly, "Why did you kidnap me here?"
At this time, Issac was anxiously waiting for the response from the other side.
When he heard her voice, he turned around and saw that Clarissa had climbed to the door. He quickly strode over and kicked her on her shoulder with his eyes full of anger.
Clarissa lost her balance and fell backward.
Issac followed her in, turned on the light in the cabin, and pulled her to one side. He said sternly, "Behave yourself! Or I'll kill you now!"
While he was pulling her, he accidentally touched the wound on Clarissa's calf, she groaned in pain and frowned.
"Issac, what do you want to do? I'm warning you. This is a false imprisonment. It's illegal!"
Clarissa remained rational and calm as she spoke.
A cold and sinister smile spread across Issac's face. He squatted down in front of her and showed her a shining dagger.
"False imprisonment? Going against the law? Do you think I'm still afraid of these things?"
He seemed to be talking to her, but he also seemed to be talking to himself at the same time. "The Ethanbez family is going to kill me. If I don't kidnap you, do you think my life in the future will be better than that in jail?"
Clarissa's eyes narrowed. "I'm not part of the Ethanbez Family. What do all these have to do with me?"
"What do you think?" Issac's eyes suddenly grew cold and filled with hatred.
"If you hadn't told Anderson about this, and Anderson told Jameson about it, would I have ended up in this state today?
Clarissa, last time you didn't die because you were lucky. If you have kept your mouth shut, I would have let you go. But you didn't, so I'm going to make life very difficult for you. If worse comes to worst, we'll just end up in a life-and-death struggle!"
Clarissa's body trembled and she shrunk.
"What do you want to do? Kill me?" Her voice trembled a little.
"No, no!" Issac shook his head. "Isn't it a waste of effort to kill you now? Don't worry. Your life is worth one billion dollars. I won't kill you until I get the money."
One billion dollars?
Clarissa was stunned for a moment. At this time, Issac's cell phone suddenly rang. He took out his phone and glanced at it, then walked out.
Although the door was closed, Clarissa could still vaguely hear him.
"Are you here?"
"... "
"I'm warning you! You only have two hours. If you haven't arrived or pulled some tricks in two hours, she would be dead!"
The telephone conversation had seemed to come to an end. Soon, the door was kicked open by Issac as he walked in.
Clarissa looked at his gloomy face and said in a trembling voice, "Issac! Are you crazy? This is kidnapping and blackmailing!"
Issac sneered, squatted down and grabbed her hair. He gnashed his teeth and said, "Do you think I don't know that this is kidnapping and blackmailing? D*mn it, do you think I will resort to this if there is other option available for me?"
One billion dollars! Even if I get the money, the Jordan family, the Ethanbez family and the police will be coming after me for the rest of my life. What's the use of having one billion dollars then?"
He hit her head hard on the wall to vent his anger.
Clarissa snorted in pain. Gritting her teeth, she said, "Then why did you do this?"
"Because they're going to send me to jail! Do you know that?"
At this time, Issac somehow became irritable for no reason as he looked at Clarissa fiercely.
"That place is full of monsters! Can I come out in one piece after I step foot in it? I have no choice! They forced me to do this, so I have no choice but to do this!"
"No! You brought this upon yourself!"
Clarissa suppressed the fear in her heart and said harshly, "You would only stay in prison for a few years at most for misappropriating funds. But if something bad happened to me, you would have been charged with murder, and you will be sentenced to death!"
"Think about it, do you think I'm worth one billion dollars? If you let me go now, I can go back and intercede for you. As long as you return the money, maybe you don't need to be imprisoned at all. After all, you are Jameson's uncle-in-law, and Yasmin's biological father, aren't you? Even if it is for the sake of Yasmin and Lia, they won't make things too difficult for you!"
Issac seemed to hesitate.
His eyes flickered as if he was taking her words into consideration.
Clarissa tried to strike while the iron was hot. "Issac, we hold no grudges against each other. If you hadn't tried to hurt me last time, I wouldn't have told Anderson about you. If you let me go now, I can guarantee that I will intercede with Anderson for you."
"And Lia won't watch you go to jail, will she? With the help of the two of us, what are you afraid of? We are all relatives. If you insist on kidnapping me now and the police intervene, there will be no turning back for you! Otherwise, there is still room for negotiation."
Just as she was talking, Issac's cell phone rang again.
He threw a death glare at Clarissa. This time, he didn't go out but picked up the phone in front of her.
Clarissa didn't know who was on the other end of the phone call. Isaac's face turned gloomy as the person spoke to him over the phone.
