Chapter 1 Why Doesn't He Care About Your Life?

• "Still no one answered. Are you sure she is really Jonathan's wife?"
• "How can there be any mistake? She is Jonathan's legally wedded wife, the real deal!"
• "I called him five or six times and even sent him a message clearly stating that his wife had been kidnapped. If he doesn't give us the ransom in time, we'll kill her. Why is he not reacting at all?"
• Winnie Thompson had been kidnapped. Last night, she went to discuss a collaboration as planned, but little did she know it was a trap.
• As the deadline approached, with only a little time left, Jonathan still hadn't made any response, which made the kidnappers anxious.
• "I'm asking you! Why doesn't Jonathan care about your life?" one of the kidnappers asked angrily.
• Winnie pursed her lips and smiled, blood staining the corners of her mouth. "It's Jonathan. He doesn't answer just anyone's call. Can you give me back my phone? I'll call him; he will definitely answer."
• The two kidnappers glanced at each other. Their main goal was money, and they didn't want to be burdened with a murder. So, of course, they were willing to give it a try when she said that.
• Jonathan was the first contact on Winnie's phone, labeled as "Mr. Foster."
• After three consecutive calls, someone finally answered on the other end.
• "Mr. Foster, I'm kidnapped. Can you come and bail me out with ransom?" Winnie sounded calm, but her slightly trembling breath revealed her current panic.
• There was a momentary pause on the other end, and then without saying a word, the other party ended the call.
• The silence on the other end of the line left Winnie stunned for a while. Even though she was used to his indifference and cruelty towards her, the extent to which he disregarded her life still shocked Winnie to the core.
• "D*mn it, I knew we kidnapped someone useless." The kidnapper became furious and raised his hand to strike her but was stopped by the other one. "Mate, look, isn't that Jonathan?"
• Winnie also shifted her gaze toward the television.
• There, she saw a man in a suit leading a well-proportioned woman into a restaurant. During their walk, the woman said something, causing the man to lower his head, displaying extreme tenderness to her.
• Although they were facing her with only their backs, Winnie recognized them at a glance. The man was her partner for the past five years, Jonathan Foster - the eldest son of Jouston's top financial conglomerate, the Foster Group.
• And the woman by his side was even more familiar.
• She was Lisa Quinn, Jonathan's lover.
• Five years ago, the Thompsons, the top family in Jouston, went bankrupt overnight. The Thompson couple committed suicide by jumping off a building. The Fosters, who could be considered their peers in the industry, acquired this mess left by the Thompsons.
• To demonstrate the Fosters' righteousness, the patriarch of the Fosters arranged for his pride and joy, his eldest grandson, to marry Winnie.
• Jonathan and Lisa were thus separated and became each other's unresolved regrets.
• He's leaving me for dead just to be with that woman, huh? Winnie thought to herself.
• After the shock, a strange bitterness surged in Winnie's heart. She took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down, raising her eyes to look at the kidnappers.
• "You must have put a lot of effort into kidnapping me. If I die, not only will you not get a penny, but the money you spent before will also be wasted. What a pity. It's better to let me go back. I still have some money stashed away."
• Her phone was already turned on, and Henry Foster would definitely be able to locate her. As long as she could delay them, rescue would definitely come.
• "How much money do you have? It seems that you, despite being his wife, are worth nothing! The one who can really lead us to Jonathan's money is the person on TV. That's the one who truly has a hold on his heart."
• "Bro, since Jonathan doesn't want to negotiate, let's kill her. But before we kill her, shall we enjoy ourselves a bit? Look at how attractive she is."
