Chapter 202 Kidnapping A Baby
June’s eyes hardened. He forcefully turned Cassie’s face towards him. “Honey, I hope you will only have eyes for me and not for other men.”
Cassie gritted her teeth and looked at June in disdain. “Oh, grow up, will you? From the very beginning, I’ve told you that I only loved you because you are able to give me access to the Erihal piano world. You can have my body, but you can never have my heart.”
June squeezed her chin and smiled viciously.
“Oh, honey, what should I do with you? I’m a greedy man; I want all of you.”
Cassie slapped his hand off her face and said in disgust, “Get off me!”
Instead, June wrapped his arms possessively around her torso rather roughly.
Cassie struggled in his violent embrace, but June ignored her. He leaned close to her and licked her earlobes suggestively. His eyes darkened with lust.
Cassie pushed him off her and slapped him hard across his face.
June’s face sank.
He touched his sore cheek tenderly and looked at Cassie with an unreadable expression. “Honey, how many times have you slapped me so far? Don’t you know that a woman shouldn’t simply slap a man? If a man hits back, he will send you flying with just one smack. Do you know why I don’t raise my hand at you? It’s because I love you. What does Oscar have that I don’t?”
Cassie stared at him in disdain. “You are nothing compared to Oscar. He will be worth a hundred times more than you ever will be.”
June’s eyes turned cold.
He carried Cassie off the ground. “Honey, that’s too much. I would prefer for you to just say that you love me. One day, you will realize I’m the one for you.”
When June finally let go, Cassie fell to the ground, gasping and coughing violently. I thought he was going to kill me from the way he picked me up just now!
June’s eyes softened at the sight of Cassie bent over, coughing. He gently patted her back and said, “Why are you so careless? I’ve already told you not to anger me. As long as you are a good girl, I will definitely take care of you well. Wouldn’t it be nice if you behaved well like the other ladies? Doesn’t it feel good to have me by your side?”
Cassie retreated a few steps away from him in fear.
June’s expression shifted.
“Honey, don’t you wish for Oscar and Amelia to be separated?”
Cassie was struggling internally at his question.
“Honey, I’m not the one who’s against you—I’m on your side. The Yards may seem comparable to the Clintons. However, don’t forget that your dad is getting older and his aptitudes are weakening. He is unable to deal with a lot of things nowadays and while you are talented at the piano, you don’t possess much business acumen. On the other hand, Oscar is a business expert. I don’t think even your father is a match for him.”
Cassie kept silent. I can’t do this by myself. Although my father adores me, he is still a businessman. He wouldn’t want to offend Oscar or the Clintons for me…
June gently caressed her cheek. “Honey, I’m the only person who can help you.”
Cassie did not push him away. She knew she had no other choice.
June smirked smugly and gestured at his cheek. “Give me a kiss and I’ll think of a way to abduct that baby.”
He was, of course, speaking about Oscar and Amelia’s son.
Cassie widened her eyes at him in shock. “Could you really kidnap that baby?”
June merely pointed at his right cheek expectantly.
Cassie tiptoed and kissed his cheek without any hesitation. “June, as long as you manage to steal that baby, I’ll do whatever you say.”
“Not so fast! Before that, I want to ask for a little favor. Otherwise, I’m afraid I won’t have the motivation to do it.”
Cassie’s eyes hardened for a moment, but she quickly recovered her composure.
She lifted her head proudly and asked, “What favor do you want?”
“Well, it’s been a long while since I’ve last satisfied my carnal needs. Shouldn’t you take care of it for me?” June suggested casually.
“Of course, but would you be able to accept my sick, ailing body and all its imperfections?”
June pulled her into his arms and fondled her torso salaciously. “You’ve been recuperating for almost a month now. I think it’s more likely that your body will be craving for mine.”
Cassie pushed him away from her. “You are too much! We’re in public! If you want women, I’ll get you two of them.”
June pressed closer to her. He stared at her with eyes full of desire.
Under the weight of his gaze, Cassie could not help but take a step back in fear.
“Stop it, June. Just go and kidnap that boy for me, and my body will be yours to do as you please,” Cassis promised.
“Well, honey, you better keep that promise. You know how bad my temper is. I won’t like being tricked by the same woman so many times.”
Without responding, Cassie looked in the direction of the ICU where Oscar’s son was held in an incubator.
He grabbed her waist possessively and said, “Let’s go then. I promise you that the boy will be in our hands tomorrow.”
Cassie obediently followed June but couldn’t help provoking him by saying, “You know, June, sometimes you are but all talk. If you don’t manage to kidnap that boy tomorrow, you can return to your country and don’t show up in front of me again. I don’t need a man who can’t help me at all, do you understand?”
“Honey, a woman should be more gentle with their words. Men don’t like it when women speak so harshly.”
“I’ll only show my gentle and vulnerable side to my man. Are you my man?”
“Honey, I’ll soon prove to you that I’m worthy of being your man.”
After that, the two voices faded away.
June kept his promise to Cassie. After sending Cassie back to the ward, he immediately reached out to his network to find two experienced kidnappers. He gave them a picture of Tony that he had sneakily captured with great effort and told them to find a way to kidnap the boy.
The two kidnappers were eager to complete the job as they had been offered a high reward by June. They climbed to the tenth floor of the hospital building after midnight. However, they had only just managed to pry open the window and stuck half their bodies in before two guns were pointed at their heads.
The two kidnappers were shocked out of their skin and almost lost their balance.
“Get in here,” one of the bodyguards commanded.
They obediently crawled through the window and tumbled onto the floor.
“We are only acting under orders! We don’t mean to cause harm! Please!” the two kidnappers begged in a trembling voice while holding their hands up in surrender.
“Who sent you here?”
“We don’t know either! We’ve only spoken to him over the phone. He promised us a two hundred thousand reward for kidnapping the baby in this photo! This is a very high reward and so, we agreed. After all, who could say no to that amount of money?” One of the kidnappers answered frankly.
One of the bodyguards took one look at the photo and said coldly, “Get up.”
The two kidnappers rose to their feet nervously.
“Dennis, stay here and watch over the boy. Hugo and I will take these two idiots to the Boss.”
The bodyguard named Dennis nodded solemnly while the other two bodyguards grabbed the kidnappers roughly by their neck and marched them out of the ICU.
The hospital was eerily quiet at that time of the night. The kidnappers were brought to an empty office.
They huddled together, shivering in fear, and begged for mercy. “Please, kind sirs, spare us! We were desperate for the money. If we had known that the child in the photo was under your protection, we would have never dared to cross you!”
“Shut up or we won’t hesitate to put a bullet through you,” one of the bodyguards threatened and kicked the kidnappers.
The kidnappers fell silent.
Five minutes later, the door opened and Oscar appeared.
“Boss,” the two bodyguards immediately straightened up and greeted him respectfully.
Oscar stood over the two cowering kidnappers. “Are you two the ones who tried to kidnap my son?” His voice was cold.
The kidnappers raised their heads to look into Oscar’s face and the moment they recognized him, they exclaimed in surprise, “Mr. Clinton!”
Oscar cocked an eyebrow. “Do you know me?”
By then, the kidnappers were shaking uncontrollably. They looked as if they would prefer death.
“Mr. Clinton, you are well-known throughout the city. The two of us are at the bottom of the food chain and we are very much dependent on your generosity to scrape our living. How could we not know you?”
Oscar was seated on the sofa while the two black-clad bodyguards stood flanking him. He leaned back and tapped his foot casually, looking quite relaxed. However, anyone who knew Oscar knew that the calmer he looked on the outside, the more cruel and ruthless he would be when he finally decided on a punishment.
It was merely the calm before the storm.
“Why don’t the two of you explain yourself? Why did you try to kidnap my son?” Oscar steepled his fingers and leaned forward to stare into the kidnappers’ eyes.
The kidnappers began to sweat profusely from fear, but they still tried to beg for mercy.
“Mr. Clinton, please, we were just acting under someone’s orders! He offered us such a high reward that we could not refuse! We didn’t know that the boy was your son! If we had known, we wouldn’t have dared to do this. The entire city knows of your family! Who would dare to become an enemy of the Clintons? Please, we beg you to have mercy on us! We promise you we’ll get out of this city as soon as possible and never return!”
Oscar stared at them coldly then he threw a glance at his bodyguards.
The two bodyguards understood his look and immediately stepped forward to punch the kidnappers repeatedly in their stomachs.
After a while, the two kidnappers doubled over and fell to the ground in pain.
Oscar casually rubbed his palms together as he said, “Consider this a small punishment for trying to harm my son. If anything had actually happened to my boy, believe me, you’ll be getting a lot more than just punching. Tell me who hired you and I won’t have to make you suffer. Speak!”
