Too Much to Bear My Love

Too Much to Bear, My Love Chapter 203

The kidnappers looked absolutely miserable. They had just wanted the reward. They had not even paused to consider who was the person who had issued the order.

Never once had they failed to complete a job throughout their entire criminal career. Not only had they gotten caught this time, but they had been caught by such a dangerous man. It was impossible for them to get out of this mess.

“Mr. Clinton, the man offered us two hundred thousand to kidnap your son, but we really have no idea who he is! He found us through a middleman, so…”

“Call him back now. Tell him that you have the baby in your hands and ask him to pick up the boy himself. You know what to do,” Oscar said casually without waiting for the kidnapper to complete his sentence. He was lounging on the sofa. The two kidnappers kneeling on the ground in front of him were as insignificant as dust to him.

“Y-Yes, we understand.” The two kidnappers nodded earnestly and cowered as close to the ground as possible, wishing the ground would just swallow them up.

One of the kidnappers pulled out his mobile phone and called the middleman first, but the call went unanswered.

Cold sweat broke out on their foreheads.

“M-Mr. Clinton, no one is answering the phone,” the kidnapper stuttered. His hands were shaking so badly that he almost dropped the phone he was holding.

Oscar gave a look to his bodyguards and they stepped forward again, readying their fists. The two kidnappers immediately covered their heads with their hands and said in a panicked voice, “Please don’t hit us! We’ll try calling someone else. We’ll definitely get through to someone!”

They pulled out their mobile phones and desperately dialed all the numbers saved in their phones. Several long minutes passed and finally, a call connected.

As soon as they heard a voice on the other end of the line, they cried, “William, you bastard, where were you guys? Why is no one answering the phone? Where is Leo? We need to talk to him right now!”

Oscar could not hear what the man on the phone said to the kidnappers, but they replied in an angry tone, “Throw a bucket of cold water over him if he’s drunk! I don’t care what you do! Just wake him up and tell him that we have the boy in our hands, but we need to renegotiate our fees with the man who issued the order. It was not easy to get the boy! He’s the only heir of the Clintons. The only son of Oscar Clinton! Do you know who that is? How can he only pay us two hundred thousand to kidnap Oscar Clinton’s only son! Is he trying to lowball us? Hurry up and wake Leo!”

The kidnapper who had been speaking on the phone covered the receiver and quickly reassured Oscar, “Don’t worry, Mr. Clinton. They are handling it over there. I’ll have the man’s phone number soon.”

Oscar gave him a hard look and said, “You’d better not trick me. Nobody tricks me and gets away with it.”

“I wouldn’t dare to do that, Mr. Clinton! Nobody would dare to trick you!”

The voice over the phone sounded again.

“Here it is, Mr. Clinton!” the kidnapper whispered, gesturing at his phone.

“Put him on loudspeaker,” Oscar commanded.

The kidnapper turned on the loudspeaker on his phone. “Logan, what’s the situation now? I heard from William that the baby you were hired to kidnap was Oscar Clinton’s son.”

“Leo, that man tried to lowball us! This boy is the only heir of the Clintons! He is worth more than gold! The man only offered us two hundred thousand. I won’t hand the boy over to him for that price. Give me his phone number and I’ll renegotiate the price with him. Otherwise, I’m sure the Clintons will offer a high ransom to rescue the boy. After all, money is no problem to the Clintons.”

“Have you gone mad? Yes, the Clintons have money but they are not stupid! Will you even be able to speak to Oscar Clinton? If you threaten him for ransom, it’ll be akin to seeking your own death! You’d better forget that stupid idea! I’ll give you that man’s phone number. When we receive the money, we’ll split it between us. Then, you two should lay low for a while. Oscar Clinton is not a man you want to cross,” the voice on the other end of the line sounded quite envious of the kidnappers’ luck. He read out the man’s number to them and warned them again to not bring the child to Oscar as he was not yet ready to die.

After that, the kidnappers ended the call.

“Mr. Clinton, the man’s phone number is…” the kidnapper read out the number, mumbling incoherently in his nervousness.
