You Complete Me novel (Skylar and Coralie)
Chapter 271

"Yes! My father committed suicide and in his will, he told us everything that you did. If you return the patent to us, we will let this matter go. If you don't, we will inform the media about it!"

Tom immediately stated his intention after knowing that Yohan recognized his voice.

He hadn't mentioned a single word about kidnapping Coralie.

"Tom, what have I got to do with your father's death? How does it concern me what he wrote in his will?"

Yohan spoke very slowly, as if he didn't care about this matter at all.

"It's you! It's you who forced our father to death! At that time, there were many people who wanted to buy our paper, but you didn't let them buy it. One of them bought it but you released a rumor saying that something was wrong with their company's products. Therefore, other companies didn't dare to go against you and ended up not buying things from our company!"

Jerry also shouted.

"Jerry, shut up!"

Tom halted him.

"Haha, the two of you are still too naive. You don't know that the world is dangerous and it's about the survival of the fittest. You should consider it a life lesson," Yohan said.

"One day, you will be punished if you continue your business like this."

"That's for me to be concerned about. It's a miracle for a small factory like yours to survive until now. If you didn't have the ability to develop that patent, I wouldn't have chosen you. You should feel grateful about it," Yohan said.

He completely didn't think that their father's death had anything to do with him.

Furthermore, he even felt that what he did was considered a blessing to Tom's factory.

His words were cold and harsh.

Coralie was also listening to the conversation. She felt that businessmen shouldn't behave the way Yohan was behaving.

She also did not expect Yohan to be someone like this, who would do anything to achieve his goal.

"Grateful? I should be glad for my father's death? People like you deserve to die!" Tom screamed.

"Your father's mistake was his greed. He didn't want to sell me the patent when I first approached him but had to make me beat around the bush. Now he sacrificed his life for it. Who am I to be blamed?" Yohan had linked everything together.

Initially, he wanted to get the patent, so what he did came after he initially failed.

"Your... your wife is in our hands. If you don't return the patent to us, we will kill her!"

Tom was completely angered by Yohan and the fact that they had kidnapped Coralie accidentally slipped out of his mouth.

Jerry was also caught off guard. "Tom! Why did you mention that?" he asked.

"I can't be bothered anymore!" Tom was furious. Yohan killed his father but yet wanted to shirk off the responsibility.

He had never seen such a heartless businessman before.

"Sure enough, it was both of you who kidnapped her."

Yohan said slowly as if everything was within his expectations.

"Yes, if you return the patent to us, we'll let her go. If you don't, we will kill her!"

Tom said while nervously looking at Coralie.

He had no idea if he would get caught, but he couldn't bear to see his father's lifetime of hard work get taken away by Yohan.

"It's impossible to return the patent to you. I've sold all those orders on behalf of your father."

Yohan rejected without any hesitation.

Coralie had a wry smile after hearing this.

Although she wasn't expecting anything from Yohan, she still felt that this patent only cost a small amount of money.

However, she did not expect Yohan to reject so decisively. His action had undoubtedly provoked the kidnappers.

If they were vicious kidnappers, Coralie would have been murdered by now.

Yohan paused for a while and said, "However, I can give you 2 million dollars for you to let her go."

"Two million dollars? Are we beggars? Our patent can earn more than tens of millions!" Tom was furious.

Their father mentioned before that if they used this patent well, they would be able to earn more than tens of millions of dollars. Then, their family would be able to live a good life.

It was also for this reason that the patent was targeted by Yohan.

"Haha, don't be too greedy," Yohan said.

"Then I'll kill your wife!" Tom yelled.

At the same time, he walked over to Coralie, picked up the iron stick lying beside her and smashed it against her.

He was so furious that he had used a lot of strength.

Coralie screamed a few times due to the pain.

Even after hearing Coralie's screams, Yohan's tone didn't change at all. "If you hurt her, you won't even get two million dollars!" He said.

Coralie fully understood her position in Yohan's heart after listening to his words.

She was only worth two million dollars.

Although Tom had hit Coralie, it was only on her body and not anywhere fatal.

"Leonardo, you're so rich but yet you are only giving us two million dollars as a ransom for your wife?"

"That's my business." Yohan also realized that two million might be too little. He added, "Well then, I'll give you three million dollars!"

"No! I want the patent! You're not giving it to me? If so, I will kill her, right now. Anyway, we have nothing left to be afraid of!" Tom was being forced into a corner.

At this moment, Yohan said, "Well, I'll return the patent to you then."

"Really?"

Tom and Jerry answered in unison.

"Yes."

Yohan replied.

He sounded like he couldn't care less about it, as if it wasn't anything important.

"Then we will meet at the abandoned building in the southern suburb of A City at 7 a.m. tomorrow. Bring along the patent transfer contract," Tom said.

"Ok," Yohan replied.

"Don't you dare call the police!" Tom added on.

"OK."

Yohan agreed immediately.

After hanging up the call, Tom and Jerry were overjoyed.

However, Coralie, who was standing by the side, said, "He will definitely report it to the police. Both of you should run for your lives now. Save your lives. Anything else can be settled later on." "What do you mean?"

Tom was initially delighted but was put off by Coralie's words.

"Nothing, I just feel that that is what he would do," Coralie said calmly.

After all, she already knew her position in Yohan's heart after hearing that he wanted to exchange her for two million dollars.

Actually, she didn't have much hope of staying on. The only reason she continued to live on was for Skylar.

"Tom, why don't we......"

Jerry was swayed as he believed Coralie's words.

"What are you afraid of? If he calls the police, we'll jump down from this building together with her," Tom said while mocking at Coralie. "You didn't seem to be that worthwhile after all, only two million dollars. Even after bargaining, you're only worth three million dollars."

"Yes, that's why it was a wrong decision for you to kidnap me."

Coralie said and smiled bitterly.

"Tom, we are not really going to jump, right? I don't want to die," Jerry said.

"Do you think I want to? But that's what our father had been working for all his life. Can we let it fall into the hands of that scumbag?" Tom questioned him.

At the end of the day, he still couldn't get over the matter. He didn't want to be taken advantage of by Yohan.

Early the next morning, Tom untied Coralie from the pillar and pulled her to the edge of the building. Then, he removed the cover off her head.

Coralie opened her eyes and the moment the cover was removed, she saw herself standing on the twenty third floor of an abandoned building, with buildings beneath her. There were no safety precautions or barriers at all. Just one wrong step, and she would fall right down.
