Chapter 605
“Has the police been called? What did they say?”
“Did the kidnapper call? How much money do they want?”
The chattering discussion attracted the attention of the surrounding quests, to the point that Bernard, who was still
in the midst of delivering his speech on stage, was ignored. Bemard deliberately tapped the mic with is fingers and
cleared his throat twice, but he was unable to draw the attention of the crowd back to him,
Kevan looked down, his hands clenched into lists on the table.
“Yes.” After a long moment, he hit out this word with great difficulty.
“It’s been so long! Has she not yet been rescued?! Cody’s voice grew louder from his anxiety.
The guests further away were startled as they looked over as one.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtCody wanted this matter to be known by all so he did not control the volume of his voice. “Beth is your biological
daughter! How can you be so heartless. Kevan? It’s not like you lack that bit of money! Can you bear to just watch
her die? His “indignant” series of questions caused people’s eyes to widen further in shock.
“Kevan, dic you not pay the ransom money?”
“How long has it been? Beth can’t be already?
“Did the police not save the child?”
Kevan pressed his lips lightly together with his eyes cast downward, his eyelashes concealing the true emotions in
his eyes.
“They want a hundred million,” he said. “I can’t get so much money in such a short amount of time. When I’d
gathered enough money. I
lost contact with the kidnapper.”
Anthony and Violet were aware of what the real inside story was, so when they saw Kevan weaving a tapestry of
lies to lool the others, they could only cooperate with him and pretend to look sad-Molet even lowered her head to
wipe at her tears.
Maria was very pale, the secret delight long gone. Her mouth hung slightly open as she stared, her eyes blank as if
she could not accept
this cruel truth.
“How could you be like that!” Cody leaped to his feet and grabbed at Kevan’s cellar angrily, dragging him up to the
same height as he was, and bellowed. “Kevan Rogers, you heartless son of a bi tch!
“That’s an innocent life!”
“Is your daughter’s life not worth a hundred million?!
“You’re not suited to be a father?
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmKevan could no longer bear the accusations flooding in. The insincerity of these a ssholes ruined his appetite, and
he did not want to stay for even a second more.
“Enough.” He jerked tree of Cody’s grasp and spoke in a cold voice. “My family matters have nothing to do with
you.” He straightened out his clothes and dusted off non-existent dust. “You must be clear that I am also a victim of
this, and there is no one else in the world who would want my daughter to be saved more than I do. If you have any
grievances, go lase it out on the kidnapper instead. Il you can find whoever it is. I will be very grateful to you.”
The group was struck speechless by him-all except for Cody. “Keep pretending, you b astard! You just can’t bear to
spend a hundred million! All your so-called care and desire to rescue your daughter is fake! You’re a heartless
hypocrite who disowned his family long ago! Nothing is more important to you than your money!
However, Kevan did not wait for him to finish before leaving the table, heading toward the exit through the nanow

Cody’s roars of age kept sounding from behind him, and all kinds of stares were cast at Kevan, who ignored them
all including the shouting. He simply walked out of the venue with his back straight and his pace steady and sure.
