Chapter 2049
"Jasper, how could it be..." Didn't he drive away?
"Ah... Help..."
Just as Jasper was about to ask where Lyric was, Lyric's scream came from her room.
"Lyric!" Jasper ran over, kicked Ansley to the ground and then ran to Lyric's room.
He was so angry and anxious that his strength was amazing. He kicked the door open.
The scene inside frightened him.
At the same time, Eden grasped her seat belt nervously when she heard Lyric's scream. Hearing that Jasper had kicked open the door, she heaved a sigh of relief.
Lyric had fallen out of the window, and Gunner was holding one of her hands.
The man was only wearing underwear, and his clothes were piled up on the ground. What he wanted to do was obvious.
Jasper glared at Gunner with fierce eyes like a furious lion.
"Lyric..." At that moment, Jasper's heart twisted nervously.
He was very afraid of losing Lyric. He wished he could fly and immediately save her.
"Don't come here." Gunner looked at Jasper with a sneer, "If you dare to come here, I'll loose my hand."
Gunner's words stopped Jasper successfully.
"B*stard!" Jasper was annoyed because he came here late.
Gunner looked at Jasper's nervous face and smiled. He knew Jasper. He had been observing Lyric's every move in the past few days, so he knew that Jasper was the president of Joye Group, and he was rich This house was only worth a few million dollars, and it was dangerous to sell it. If he took money from Jasper, he would leave soon.
He smiled and glanced at Lyric who was dragged by him. She was about to fall off the building. Then he looked at Jasper and smiled, "Mr. Joye, you came so quickly!" Jasper said angrily, "What do you want?"
Gunner smiled evilly, "Mr. Joye, you're smart. Of course, you know what I want. As long as I loose my hand, your beloved woman will die a cruelest death."
Jasper's heart skipped a beat, and his face darkened to the extreme. He had lost his patience, "Say it!"
"Alright. Mr. Joye, you're really straightforward. I know you like this woman. If you want her to survive, give me one hundred million dollars."
"It's worth it to buy her life with one hundred million dollars."
Jasper took out his wallet and picked up a black card, "Okay, I'll give you the money! Let her go."
Outside the window, Lyric smiled when Jasper said those words without hesitation. She shivered, but her heart was warm, because he cared about her very much. If... she survived, she would definitely confess her love to him.
"Ha-ha..." Gunner looked at the black card in Jasper's hand and sneered. This world was really unfair.
He struggled to live, but he was at the bottom of society. He couldn't even have enough sometimes.
But these rich people owned a lot of money at ease.
This made him feel extremely jealous.
"Mr. Joye, are you kidding? If I take this card and go to bank, the police will catch me soon. I want cash." Gunner was not stupid.
Jasper looked at him, "Okay, I'll give you cash if you want. Pull her up first. She's still in your control. I promise you that the money will be delivered soon." Jasper did as Gunner said.
If Lyric still stayed outside of the window, she would definitely be freezing on such a cold day. He was extremely anxious, but there was nothing he could do.
He looked out of the window worriedly. The window was covered with frost, and he could only see the vague outline of Lyric.
Her thin body swayed in the cold wind, making his heart sink.
Seeing that Jasper was very straightforward, Gunner wanted to solve the problem as soon as possible. He would leave after getting the money.
"Okay! Call someone and ask him to send me the money." Gunner compromised.
Without hesitation, Jasper took out his phone and called Victor, asking him to prepare cash. Victor and Eden were almost there.
He was afraid of losing Lyric, and he had never been so scared before. Her eyes were always bright and shy when she looked at him. He didn't want her to be hurt or insulted. When Jasper called Victor, Victor had arrived at the entrance of the housing estate.
"Hello? Jasper."
"Prepare a hundred million dollars for me. I want cash. Hurry up!" Jasper yelled at him.
Victor instantly understood what he meant. Those people came for money.
Although Jasper's attitude was rude, he didn't mind.
He turned back to the car, opened the trunk and took out a box of money.
Eden looked at him in confusion, "What is this?"
Victor said, "Honey, this is money. I always put eight or nine hundred thousand dollars in my car just in case."
Eden was stunned. Why didn't she know about it?
"Let's go!" Victor held Eden's hand, for fear that she would fall down due to anxiety again.
Jasper hung up the phone, looked at Gunner and warned him, "The money will be delivered soon. Take her up first, or we'll all die here."
Gunner was an outlaw in the casino. He had never been threatened like this.
He had been the one who threatened others, Being threatened by Jasper, he was very displeased. However, he listened to Jasper for no reason when he saw Jasper's cold and gloomy eyes. The cold wind was blowing hard, and he pulled Lyric back with both hands.
Lyric fell onto the window feebly.
She looked at Jasper with blurred eyes. She had lost all her strength, and she smiled at him weakly.
Standing not far away, Jasper looked elegant and handsome. She liked him all the time. At this time, he was the only light and sun in her heart.
She was only wearing a nightdress, and her face had become red from cold. Seeing her like this, Jasper was about to fly into a rage.
He quickly pulled open Lyric's wardrobe, took out a coat and handed it to Gunner, "Put it on for her. If she gets sick, don't think about walking out of the door." Gunner grabbed the coat angrily and put it on Lyric, but he regretted pulling up Lyric.
In this way, he had lost a lot of opportunities. Being ordered by Jasper, he was in a very bad mood.
He had taken off his clothes, so he was shivering with cold.
"Give me my clothes, too." Gunner would never let himself suffer. If he didn't put on his clothes, he might fall ill before he got the money.
Jasper looked at the clothes on the ground and kicked them to him.
"You..." Gunner looked at Jasper cautiously and slowly bent down to pick up his clothes.
At this moment, Jasper heard the sound of the door being opened.
Victor and Eden were here.
Jasper's expression relaxed. He glanced at Lyric who was weak. She was frozen with cold, and he couldn't waste any more time here.
"The money has been delivered."
Jasper's words stunned Gunner.
He said with ecstasy, "Okay, let's go out immediately."
Gunner turned around excitedly to pull Lyric. Jasper had thought about what to do. The moment Gunner turned around, he rushed over. When Gunner grabbed Lyric's hand, he had grabbed Gunner's collar. Then he pulled Gunner hard, and Gunner fell to the ground. Lyric, who was frozen, rolled down the window.
