Chapter 823 The last plan

"That's how it is," Chris sighed heavily, "Although it's against the principle, it's the only way to go."

"Against the principle?" Otis didn't think so and said coldly,

"If Spencer is heinous, his father's mistakes are equally unspeakable. He also participated in this kidnapping. He even threatened to use this to take down Davonnis Corp. This kind of person deserves no sympathy!"

"Dad, Erik tampered with the cargo for the first time among the several businesses that mom transferred to them. I supervised the navigation at that time. If Lucia hadn't asked, I would have told you about it a long time ago, so this kind of person does not deserve sympathy at all."

Helena knew that her father was people-oriented, and had always disliked the practice of tit for tat, but now justice was on their side, and she didn't think there was anything wrong with such an approach. Chris sighed again and nodded.

When Edwin called Elliot, Chris' cell phone rang harshly. Everyone was startled, and only then did they realize that twelve hours had already arrived.

Chris took out his mobile phone and put it in the middle of the table. He connected the call in front of everyone, and turned on the speakerphone.

After a few noises, Spencer's voice came faintly from the phone.

"Mr. Brown, it's windy at sea. You should keep warm."

What Spencer meant was that he already knew he was at sea.Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

Of course Chris would not admit it, so he evaded and said,

"It's windy at sea? Are you imprisoning them at sea now?!"

"Mr. Brown, let's not be perfunctory," Spencer had already noticed the abnormality, and with Dan making suggestions for himself, what he had to do now was to force Chris to compromise as soon as possible. "How do you think about the agreement?"

"I can't give you an answer right now," Chris said. "This is very important. I have called my two sons back. We must discuss it carefully. The time you have given is too little!"

"No matter how much time you have, you will save hem by yourself," Spencer's voice was full of sarcasm.

"Mr. Brown, don't play me like a fool. As I said today, if you won't be able to give me an answer after twelve hours, I will take one of the three. I can be merciful and let you choose who will die first. How about it?"

The expressions on everyone's faces changed instantly, and Arthur even grabbed the edge of the table directly, and the table trembled from his strength.

"Spencer! How dare you!" Chris yelled immediately, and at the same time reached out his hand to stop his impulsive daughter who was about to curse, and said sharply,

"If you want anything from me, don't hurt them. As long as one of them has any accident, I can assure you, don't say anything to help you take Davonnis Corp. Even if I give everything, I will let you pay for it with your life!"

Faced with such a decisive warning from Chris, Spencer's reaction was actually to laugh.

His contemptuous laughter lingered in the conference room, burning the anger in everyone's hearts.

"Mr. Brown, no rush. My purpose has never been to hurt anyone. I just want to get what I should have."

"You are the one's anxious first. Spencer, I have said so. I can't make the decision right now. At least I have to wait for Shawn and Reynolds to come over and discuss." Hearing Spencer's words, Chris calmed down instead. Well, at least he was sure Spencer had something to worry about.

"How long?" Spencer was curt.

Chris looked at Arthur, only to see him hold up a finger before he replied,

"One day, I'll give you an answer by this time tomorrow."

"Okay, I'll give you another twenty-four hours. If there is no reply, Mr. Brown, you can't blame me this time." Spencer said quietly, and the call was cut off.

At the end of the call, Arthur immediately said, "Everyone go to rest first. Shawn, Reynolds, Otis, Jack, stay here. We have to work out a second plan as soon as possible."

Arthur's intention was good, but who would want to rest at a time like this?

"Arthur, let's stay together. Maybe we can come up with a good solution." Sophie said immediately.

"No," Arthur looked at his mother and said, "Your physical strength is not as strong as ours, and you will only be mentally exhausted if you keep going like this. After you rest, we can think of a plan with peace of mind."

"Mom, you guys go to rest. We'll take care of Arthur." How could Otis not know what his mother was worried about.

Edwin, who had already contacted Elliot, also advised his wife,

"Sophie, I've already contacted Elliot. He's still in Athegate. He's gone to find Erik now. We can only wait patiently." They can't come up with ideas at this time, and being here will only make the atmosphere more grim and affect their judgment.

"Okay, then don't make it too late. Let us know any progress." Sophie finally couldn't resist the children's persuasion, and went back to rest with her husband without hesitation.

"Dad, let's go to rest too." Helena was very sensible this time, and said to Chris when she saw the faint tiredness between his brows.

Chris patted Helena's hand holding his own, and then glanced at Arthur and the others with serious expressions, before returning to the cabin with his daughter. Outside the window, the sea wind roared and rolled up layers of waves, causing the freighter to swing up and down, just like everyone's uncontrollable emotions.

At this time, Elliot had already waited for the man sent by Edwin. He didn't dare to neglect, and led the people to Spencer's villa in the dark.

Elliot may have the most complicated state of mind of all of them. He never thought that he would control Erik himself, but Spencer's actions were already outraged by everyone, and he can no longer stay out of it.

Before arriving at the villa, Elliot carefully ordered the security personnel to guard the two entrances and exits to prevent Erik from escaping, and ordered others to hide on both sides of the gate so as not to alert him away.

After the arrangement was completed, he went up to the door alone and rang the doorbell.

At eleven o'clock in the middle of the night, the bell rang loudly in the villa, and the servants were unbearably disturbed, so they got up and woke up Ewan who was in a deep sleep.

Ewan opened the door with sleepy eyes, only to hear the doorbell ringing from the door.

"Who is it so late?" Ewan complained and put on his nightgown, and as soon as he reached the stairs, he saw Erik coming down the stairs.

"What's going on outside the door?" Erik asked angrily.

"Sir, I just woke up too, and now I'm going to see who is knocking on the door." Ewan cheered up and replied.

Erik frowned. Someone visiting late at night must be a big deal, but who could it be?
