GIRL IN RED
CHAPTER 425. REFUSING TO PAY THE RANSOM
Both Ruby's parents came to the Kanchana Family residence after getting calls from the kidnappers. Seemed in the living room gathered some people with serious facial expressions.
"Reza...........what should we do now? The kidnapper asked for a ransom of a hundred billion." the middle-aged man's voice sounded soft. Feeling very sad, he clasped his wife's sobbing hands since the bad news about his daughter.
"Father-in-law, I don't know what to do now either. Frankly, our financial situation is also difficult. The Kanchana family company is in crisis. There's no way we're gonna spend that kind of money."
Hearing Reza's words, Ruby's mother grew sobbing. He was very worried about the state of his only daughter whose whereabouts were unknown.
"We'd better report it to the police! Let the authorities solve Ruby's problem." said Yessi Kanchana staring at her brother-in-law. 'Even if we had that kind of money, I wouldn't let my son pay that ransom!' muttered Yessi.
'Now that Lavani's family is destroyed, we can't expect any more help from that family either! Cih....kidai Ruby died in the hands of the kidnapper was even better! Isn't Reza going to get his wife's insurance money?'
Thinking about it made Yessi Kanchane's mood change. In his heart he felt very happy because he remembered how much Ruby insurance money his son would receive. His son was very smart to think that far.
But suddenly Yessi remembered something, 'Does Reza have anything to do with Ruby's kidnapping?' Yessi Kanchana begins to doubt her son.
'It feels a bit strange too! After the marriage, Reza bought Ruby insurance and Reza was the only heir to the insurance policy. Is this all my son's game? Why does he look so relaxed? There is not the slightest fear and worry about losing his wife.'
Yessi Kanchana glanced at her son and scanned, trying to notice Reza's facial expression. But he saw that his son looked calm. 'Ah, let it be if Reza plans all this. After all the company's condition is precarious, he could have thought of a way to earn money.'
"Are you not worried about my daughter?" ruby's mother isak while wiping away her tears.
"Jeng...there is no point in crying! Will crying solve the problem? Never mind, don't cry anymore. Better focus on finding a solution to bring Ruby back." said Yessi snorting annoyed.
While Reza's father could only shut up, he was completely resigned because he did not have that much money. The silence of the Kanchana family made the Zimenas emotional.
Both of Ruby's parents stood up angrily and said, "I don't understand what you have in mind! Do you really not care about my daughter? Ruby is your daughter-in-law and is pregnant with her son Reza! How can you be this calm?"
"So, what should we do?" reply Yessi angrily. "Do you think we have a hundred billion dollars to throw away? Our company is just shaky! You should be the ones looking for that ransom! Why even throw responsibility at us?"
With trembling hands, Ruby's mother pointed at Yessi Kanchana, "What kind of mother-in-law are you? Your son-in-law was kidnapped and you're not even willing to pay the ransom? Do you really not want my daughter back?"
"Our family has a big problem right now! If I had a hundred billion dollars, I'd rather use that money to save the company! If the company goes bankrupt, the family is ruined! Ruby was also devastated because I couldn't afford her life anymore!"
Reza spoke without thinking first, subconsciously revealing his heart. 'If Ruby dies in the hands of the kidnappers, I can get the insurance money! With that money I can build a new company!' murmured heart.
"You're outrageous! You don't care about me!" ruby's father shouted in anger. "Let's go!"
"What else is Reza? If you and your family do not want to pay the ransom, let us take care of this matter ourselves. But you have to remember, when Ruby comes back, I'll get the divorce papers!"
Reza and her parents were stunned to hear the words of Ruby's father. Reza did not expect her father-in-law to be so angry but she could not do anything to help Ruby. His family problems are many at the moment.
If he had the money, indeed he had no intention of giving the money to the kidnapper! Or, would it not be better for this matter to be left to the authorities? If he did nothing to save his wife then he would be blamed on everyone.
Reza was also in a dilemma and thought about what to do. While Yessi Kanchana Reza's mother was not affected in the slightest by the words of Ruby's father. The middle-aged woman instead looked relaxed and smiled cynically.
'If it wasn't for their relationship with Lavani's family, my son would never have married Ruby! But now, we can't lean on the big name Lavani anymore either! Why have a daughter-in-law like Ruby? My son is handsome and there must be a lot of women out there willing to be his wife.'
There was not the slightest bit of guilt in the hearts of Reza's parents. In their minds they were just money and money! Ruby can't even be compared to money! If you can choose it is certain that the Kanchana family prefers money than Ruby's daughter-in-law.
Angrily, Ruby's parents leave the Kanchana family residence. They felt angry and hurt with the attitude of his brother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Ruby's father decides to report Ruby's kidnapping to the police.
"My husband, are you sure you want to do this?"
"Yes, we have no other choice! I don't have that kind of money. I didn't expect Reza and her parents to spend a penny to redeem Ruby."
"They are so outrageous! I didn't expect the family to be so evil!" her mother Ruby looked out the window with tears.
"Don't cry anymore! Everything's gonna be okay! Once this matter is over, I will take care of Ruby and Reza's divorce! I'm not in touch with the Kanchana family anymore."
********
Dion wrapped Joana's body in a bathrob and carried her to the bedroom and placed her on the bed. "Wait a minute. I'll get you your clothes." said Dion.
"Dion---- let me take it myself."
"Why are you so stubborn? Just sit there and don't go anywhere!" said Dion walking towards the walking closet. She opens Joana's wardrobe and picks out satin pajamas.
Joana watched Dion's movements without daring to make a sound. She was still embarrassed that Dion was bathing her. He felt that Dion treated him like a child. In the car and in the bath and then put clothes.
He remembered the words of Arimbi who kept making fun of him as a big baby. 'Ck! What is Arimbi doing now? Can I meet him tomorrow?' murmured heart.
