Chapter 174 Take Me As a Hostage
“You can’t go!” Madalyn yelled at the top of her lungs.
Gilbert shook his head and looked at his grandmother in puzzlement. “I’m just trying to save them. Wha
t’s wrong with that?”
“It is wrong for you to save the murderer who wants your grandmother dead.”
Looking at Madalyn’s insistent attitude, Gilbert was anguished. He asked himself if the relationship bet
ween his grandma and Kisa had come to the point of beyond salvage. But he had to go, even if his gra
ndmother
opposed it. He walked past Madalyn and out without looking back.
Madalyn cried out
in grief behind him. “She wants your grandmother dead. If you insist on taking the risk of saving her, yo
u will regret it when you find out the truth. “She fell, sitting to the floor. “That woman should never have
been born. She should never have come into this
world.”
In the warehouse, Kisa was relieved to see that Howard had been convinced. She glanced at Sharon a
nd saw that she had not yet come out of her shock. Her eyes were still wide open and she could not sp

Howard crouched aside to smoke again. He was not as

“What do you want to do?”
Howard did not reply. He just smiled. The more secretive he became, the more uneasy Kisa became.
Gilbert arrived and appeared at the warehouse door before 5 pm. He was carrying two large leather sui
tcases in his hands.
Howard smirked and said, “You are quick. It seems these two women are really important to you.”
Gilbert took a quick glance at Kisa and was relieved to see that she was unharmed. He opened the suit
cases and the bills inside were neatly arranged. “Fifty million dollars. are all here, and your route out of
the city has been arranged. All you have to do is take
this money to the ferry and someone will meet you there.”
“How can I trust you?”
“You can let them go and
exchange me as a hostage,” Gilbert said calmly. “They will only slow you down in
their current conditions.”
“Oh, you are so thoughtful, but unfortunately…” Howard’s eyes suddenly turned icy. “I don’t believe you.
Gilbert frowned, as Howard was not cooperative. “What do you want?”
“How about this: the two of them, you can only save one, the other as my hostage? I will let her go as so
Gilbert held the suitcases tightly in his hands. “I have to take both of them.”
“That is not possible. If you take both of them, I will be left
with no insurance. Besides, if you are not playing any tricks, you don’t have to be worried that I won’t let
“Gilbert, save me! Save me! You must save me.‘
