Chapter 353
When Karl heard this, he only said indifferently, “Yes, they just want 50 million in cash. They wanted 100 million back then.”
Because Trevor was too scared, he was a little confused: “Yes, yes, yes… they only want 50 million in cash, you can give them…”
Karl was now his only life-saving straw, and he could only hold on to Karl tightly.
“Then why you didn’t want to give out that 100 million?” Karl’s voice looked like a devil crawling out of hell.
“Karl…Karl, I am your father, save me…” Trevor’s only thought at this time was to ask Karl.
“Back then, if you were worried about a little bit of love between husband and wife, the mother would not end like that! Trevor, this is your retribution!”
Every word of Karl was squeezed out between his teeth, and he hung up the phone with a “bang” after he finished speaking.
It was already dusk.
The servants were all driven out, the hall was not lighted up, and it looked a little dim.
In the huge living room, except for Karl and Smith quietly standing behind him, there was only one Claire who had passed out.
Karl maintained a posture and sat motionless, as if he was about to merge with the coming night.
For a long time, Smith gave a worried cry: “Sir.”
Alyssa didn’t know when she had come down from the stairs.
She walked over lightly, and hurriedly covered the broken arm sent by the kidnappers.
Smith: “Young lady.”
Alyssa said: “Help Miss Alyssa back to the room, there is me here.”
Smith took Claire and the broken arm away.
Alyssa sat down beside Karl.
The sky was getting darker, and in the room where the lights were not turned on, she could not see Karl’s face.
Alyssa stretched out her hand to support his face, turned his face around, and faced him: “Karl.”
Karl turned his head and hugged Alyssa forcefully into his arms, but still did not forget to avoid the unhealed injury on Alyssa’s shoulder.
Alyssa stretched out her hand and gently patted Karl’s back. At this time, no more words of comfort would be unnecessary.
She could feel Karl’s depressed breathing, spraying heavily on her neck.
“My mother was a very gentle and beautiful woman, she was better than anyone.” Karl’s voice was hoarse and painful.
Alyssa’s eyes were slightly wet: “I know.”
She knew what a wonderful woman Karl’s mother was. She was a lady from a scholarly family. She thought she was married to the right man, but died in that way.
This is unfair.
The most innocent people have to endure the most pain and misery.
“How can they do it.”
Alyssa couldn’t see Karl’s face, but could feel the helplessness and pain in his words.
After many years, his mother Sandra is a thorn in his heart, planted in his heart, it hurts when he moves.
Even if Karl’s mother really died in a kidnapping case back then, Karl would not be so painful.
Alyssa could not answer Karl’s question.
He has no solution to this problem.
She is neither Trevor nor Lina, so she can’t guess what kind of psychology they had, when they did this.
Even an outsider like her found it difficult to accept, she couldn’t imagine how painful Karl was now.
She hugged Karl tightly, and her tone was serious and firm: “You still have me, and Grace. Our family will be reunited soon. If mother knows you are happy, in the sky, she should be happy too. Yes, she loves you very much.”
As soon as her voice fell, she felt a warm liquid falling into her neck.
Alyssa did not dare to move any more, and could not speak.
…
The next day.
Alyssa and Karl set off to the island that Gerald named.
The island is surrounded by the sea and has beautiful scenery. It takes one day full to fly from Rostenvel to the Island.
Before leaving, Alyssa saw the new headlines.
“The kidnapped Trevor was found in the early hours of this morning and taken to the hospital for rescue, and his life is out of danger.”
After reading the news roughly, Alyssa turned off the web page, put the phone away, and looked up at Karl who was sitting opposite.
She and Karl sat in the hall for a long time last night, and then she fell asleep by herself, and when she woke up, she was already on the plane.
Karl was still as usual, wearing a tall suit, holding a pile of materials in his hand, and his drooping eyebrows were cold and sparse, and there was no sign of depression.
This man’s self-regulation ability is amazing.
“It seems that I am more attractive than breakfast.” Karl put down the information in his hand and looked up at her: “You stared at me for two minutes and didn’t eat a bite of breakfast.”
Alyssa was stunned for a moment, lowered her head and took a bite of the bun before saying: “I didn’t know you had a private jet before.”
This time, they took Karl’s private jet.
Karl lowered his head and continued to read the information in his hand: “If you like it, I will buy one for you when we go back.”
Alyssa didn’t move after eating two steamed buns, sat next to him, and read the information with him.
What Karl looked at was some information on the Internet, as well as the various movements of Gerald in the past six months.
When Gerald wrote him the address, besides sending someone to follow Gerald, he also sent someone to the island first.
But except for the house and a few servants guarding the house, Grace was not found on the island.
Alyssa took the corner of her mouth, and said with a worried face: “Gerald is too cunning, I always think it won’t go so well.”
“Trust me?” Karl put down the information in his hand and stretched out his hand to pull her into his arms.
Alyssa raised her head and said word by word: “I trust you no matter what.”
Karl brushed her hair around her ear: “Then don’t think about it.”
Alyssa nodded and turned to look out the window, but the anxiety in her heart did not diminish.
She took a deep breath and stood up: “I’m going to see Miss Palmer.”
Karl seemed to see her uneasiness, and didn’t say much, just nodded and let her go.
When Alyssa passed by, she saw Lisa sitting by the window, looking quiet and beautiful.
Alyssa called out: “Miss Palmer.”
Lisa looked back at her: “Young lady.”
“Sorry, don’t know what your original name is.” Alyssa can’t actually imagine what a woman has gone through when she is willing to undergo plastic surgery to look like another woman.
Lisa looked indifferent: “It doesn’t matter what I am originally called. The important thing is that Boss helped me, and my existence can help you find the little lady.”
Chapter 354
When she first learned that Karl had found a woman to have a facelift to become Lisa, Alyssa was shocked and questioned.
Later, knowing that Lisa was voluntary, her thoughts were a little complicated.
It feels like using another person to exchange for his own daughter.
Life is not high or low, but people are selfish.
Seeing that Alyssa hadn’t spoken for a long time, Lisa smiled and comforted her: “Madam, you don’t need to think you owe me anything. This is what I want. It makes me feel that my existence is valuable, if not for Sir Adams, I would be dead long ago.”
Although Alyssa had a difficult time since she was a child, compared with Karl, she felt that her experience was nothing but a terrible one.
She bowed her head and pondered for a moment: “Thank you.”
After thinking about it, she reminded Lisa again: “The person Gerald is very cunning, and you will be careful when the time comes.”
…
When the plane arrived at the island, it was the early morning three days after the appointment with Gerald.
When Alyssa and Karl arrived, Gerald hadn’t arrived yet.
Karl’s people searched everything on the island inside and out, and there was nothing except a few servants who looked at the house.
Alyssa looked at the blue sea, and asked Karl restlessly: “Will he change his mind temporarily and is not coming?”
Karl’s eyes flashed slightly: “No, I know him.”
Two people have been dating for many years, and there are always some similarities.
The similarity between him and Gerald lies in the persistence of certain people and things.
Lisa is an absolutely special existence for Gerald.
Gerald felt that Isabel looked like Lisa, so he was with Isabel and indulged Isabel’s various things.
He could bear even Isabel, let alone a perfect replica that Karl prepared for him.
Gerald will definitely come.
Alyssa followed Karl, anxiously waiting for Gerald to come.
They waited from sunrise to sunset, and Gerald finally came with Smith.
Gerald came here by boat and brought many people.
The two sides confronted each other in the villa lobby.
The island was bought by Gerald and built apron and luxurious villas.
Gerald’s hands lined up on both sides, leaving a way in the middle.
Gerald walked out slowly, his gaze fell on Karl’s body, and the temperature was as before: “The boat is a bit slow, making you wait a long time, Karl.”
Karl’s face slightly condensed, “Where is the child?”
Gerald clapped his hands and saw a middle-aged woman approaching with a baby.
Alyssa was standing behind Karl, and when she saw the middle-aged woman approaching with the baby, she couldn’t help walking forward and muttered, “Grace…”
Karl held her calmly, his eyes still on Gerald: “How can I be sure that she is my daughter?”
“Heh!” Gerald laughed: “You are still so smart.”
After Gerald finished speaking, another middle-aged woman came out with a baby in her arms.
Alyssa’s face was startled, and the next moment, they heard Gerald’s careless voice: “Guess, which one is your daughter?”
As soon as he finished speaking, standing behind Gerald, he handed him a pistol.
Gerald blew the muzzle and pointed a pistol at the two babies, with a gentle smile on his face: “I heard that parents and children will be telepathic before. I believe you will be able to guess right.”
Alyssa bit her lip: “Gerald, they are just children, they are still babies who can’t talk!”
Although Gerald didn’t explain, his meaning is already obvious. If Karl and Alyssa choose one of them, he will kill the other…
It’s crazy.
“Alyssa, you can’t discriminate against others, treat them equally and respect the rules of the game, otherwise…” Gerald paused slightly at this point, and his expression gradually turned gloomy: “Don’t want any of you!”
“Gerald.”
Suddenly, a female voice rang from behind everyone.
Alyssa followed them back and saw Lisa walking downstairs.
Lisa’s long hair is waist-length, wearing a white dress, gentle and beautiful.
Her gaze fixedly fell on Gerald: “I haven’t seen you for many years, you have changed a lot.”
While she was talking, she walked over to Gerald.
Alyssa noticed that Gerald’s expression suddenly changed the moment he saw Lisa.
Shock, astonishment, excitement… Many emotions crossed his face.
“Lis…Lisa?” With a “bang”, the gun in his hand fell to the ground.
Lisa walked through the crowd and walked in front of Gerald: “It’s me.”
Gerald looked at Lisa’s face, which was exactly the same face as Lisa in his memory, and he couldn’t bear to blink his eyes.
Lisa reached out to hold Gerald’s hand, and said softly, “Gerald, how did you and Karl become like this? don’t know what misunderstandings were between you, but the child is innocent, you Return the children to them, okay?”
Alyssa grabbed her hand nervously, pinched her fingernail fiercely, she didn’t feel any pain.
Gerald seemed to be so bewitched by Lisa, he nodded invisibly.
A surprise flashed in Alyssa’s eyes, but before her surprise came out, she heard Gerald say: “Lisa, let’s play a game. It’s a very interesting game. , When the game is over, I will take you home.”
After Gerald finished speaking, he raised his head to look at Karl: “Karl, I am very tired on the road today. Let’s continue tomorrow.”
After speaking, he took someone out.
Several villas were built on this island, and Gerald took people to live in other villas.
As soon as Gerald left, Lisa fell straight to the ground.
Seeing this, Alyssa quickly walked over to help her up.
Lisa grabbed Alyssa’s arm and said with lingering fear: “I think he saw that I was a fake.”
When Alyssa heard this, she was shocked. Before she could ask Karl, she heard Karl’s voice: “He knew you were a fake.”
Alyssa looked at him in disbelief: “What did you say? Gerald knew that she was a fake Lisa, so how could he exchange for a real Grace?”
She knew it was not that easy.
Karl only reminded her: “Isabel.”
Hearing this, Alyssa suddenly raised her head: “You mean…”
“Yes.” Before she could finish speaking, Karl interrupted her and gave her a deep look: “Everyone has obsessions in their hearts.”
Alyssa remembered that Gerald’s connivance and love for Isabel was entirely because Isabel looked a bit similar to Lisa.
