Chapter 829 Abandon Family Affection
"Elliot, are you there too?" Spencer caught Elliot's voice and immediately asked loudly.
If Elliot was with Chris, did that mean Edwin's family was also there? What were they planning again?
Elliot panicked for a moment, and opened his mouth out of desperation. He didn't expect Spencer to recognize him immediately, but Edwin raised his hand to signal to him that he could speak. Then Elliot regained his composure and replied,
"It's me."
"Just now I was wondering how Mr. Brown has such a great ability to catch my dad so easily. It turns out that you are the one who made trouble!"
"I should have done this long ago!" Elliot said coldly.
"Should have done this a long time ago? Elliot, you are my dad's real brother, so I should call you uncle," Spencer had lost respect for his elder and called Elliot by his first name, questioning him with a victim attitude.
"You actually helped outsiders kidnap your younger brother. Did you hear what Mr. Brown said just now? You want to see my father die at his hands?!"
"I believe in Mr. Brown's character," Elliot said, "If he really does something to Erik, it's because you hurt the them first. I advise you to turn around and hand them over now."
"Oh," Spencer sneered and his tone was full of disdain.
"My dad is tied up. It seems that one life is really going to be exchanged for three lives, right? Mr. Brown, tell me if you agree to my conditions, or wait for the corpses!"
Chris frowned. Arthur said earlier that Spencer might really choose to be rich and famous, but after listening to his choice, as a father, he felt that Erik was extremely pitiful. The child he raised with his own hands even disregarded his own danger. He was really not as good as a cold-blooded beast.
"Spencer! You are not as good as a beast. Can you really disregard your father's safety?!" Elliot shouted angrily.
Erik frowned deeply and no longer faltered anxiously. He was also a mercenary, but when he really heard his son say these words, he still couldn't get over the hurdle. Could it be that his son really didn't care about him??
"Three lives for one life, it's worth it!" Spencer replied resolutely. No one knew if he was really heartless, or if he was sure that the Brown family will not dare to hurt his father.
Hearing Spencer's answer without hesitation, Edwin stared at Erik who was frowning deeply. After thinking for a while, he went to Erik's side and tore off the tape from his mouth, and stared straight at him. "Erik, if it were my son, he would never make such a choice." Edwin said confidently.
This sentence really stimulated Erik. As soon as his mouth was free, what he wanted to say was no longer to inform his son, but asked angrily, "Spencer! This is your choice?!"
How can Spencer really abandon his feelings for his father completely? Hearing his hoarse questioning voice will hurt his heart, but when he thought about his current situation and if he chose to exchange hostages, he will really have nothing. Not only that, but he also faced with the revenge from the Edwin and Brown families. Spencer would rather choose the latter if he could save half their life's hard work and planning by sacrificing his father alone.
So he said,
"Dad, haven't we been planning for so long to take back Davonnis Corp? If I promise Mr. Brown, our previous efforts will be wiped out. They will not let us go, and you will be held accountable by the US government. Since the end is so miserable, you might as well..."
"As what?!" Erik shouted loudly. His eyes stretched to the limit, bloodshot for a moment.
Spencer didn't answer anymore, but what was on his mind was known to everyone present, especially Erik.
Saddened from the bottom of his heart, Erik was shocked and angry, and couldn't believe that his son could actually trade himself for glory and wealth.
Seeing Erik like this, Elliot had mixed feelings in his heart. No one knew what he was thinking.
"Dad, I have my difficulties..." After a long time, Spencer said lightly, seemingly helpless, but actually cruel. It seemed that this was the last sentence he said to his father, and he turned to Chris again, "Mr. Brown, give me the answer."
Chris frowned. Since the time could not drag on any longer, at this moment, Edwin's cell phone started to vibrate, and everyone was refreshed. This meant that Arthur and the others had news! Edwin glanced at the phone, and after reading the message silently, he raised his eyes and nodded slightly to Chris, and then Chris said,
"Spencer, I can't make a choice. If you can give up your father, it's up to you."
Spencer didn't expect Chris to answer like this at all. He was speechless for a while, his self-confidence collapsed instantly, and he almost thought he was hallucinating.
Was Chris giving up the lives of Esmae and the others? How can it be?!
Thousands of doubts hovered in his mind, but Spencer still couldn't believe it. He subconsciously began to think why Chris would do this. He seemed very confident. Could it be...?!
No!
Spencer came to his senses all of a sudden. He quickly dropped the phone, turned around and ran towards the cabin.
Hearing that the mobile phone was disconnected and a beep sounded, Edwin and other people were extremely nervous, but they were not anxious. They were just worried about the safety of Arthur and the others. Because even if Spencer found it right away, it was already too late.
That was the secret signal they agreed on earlier.
Last night, Arthur and his team spent several hours carefully drawing up a plan, and decided to use the speedboat on the freighter to attack the yacht. They set off after nightfall, and until they responded to the message just now, it meant that they had successfully boarded the yacht.
"Aunt Sophie, don't worry. With Otis and the others there, they will be fine." Helena saw Sophie's brows frowning tightly, and walked to her side and took her arm to comfort her. Sophie felt heartwarming. In fact, she knew that Helena could not rest assured because there were not only her mother and brothers on the boat, but also the man she loved deeply... Patting the back of Helena's hand lightly, Sophie forced a smile and replied, "I'm as confident as you."
"Hum!" Helena nodded heavily. Her eyes were firm and dazzling.
At this time, Erik seemed to have been pulled out of his spirit for an instant. If the security hadn't been holding him up, he would have been paralyzed to the ground at this time.
Erik can be ruthless, but Elliot will never be ungrateful. Seeing his younger brother like this made him feel very uncomfortable. Taking a step forward, he said to Erik,This is the property of NĂ´-velDrama.Org.
"Erik, are you still so obsessed? Your son has inherited the same temperament from you, even worse. Do you still think that wealth and glory are really more important than people's hearts?"
