Chapter 1048 Are You Scared Now

If I don't hand her over right now, at least I'll still have a trump card up my sleeve. At the thought of this, Jerry

suddenly relaxed deep down. With a roll of his eyes, he reverted to his playful demeanor, saying with a smile,

"President Gardner, if you really don't care about your sister anymore, then I've got nothing to be concerned about.

If my card isn't worth anything, it doesn't have any value. All the guys I've got here haven't gotten laid in years, so

perhaps they'll scramble for her."

The look in Colton's eyes changed almost imperceptibly. He had almost gotten it out of Jerry just now, but Sasha's

arrival broke the stalemate at once. Even now, after so many years, she still knew him very well. Colton could be

indifferent to everyone—but not to his own family. This was the reason why she had to kidnap Wendy: she was

certain there was no way he would leave Wendy in the lurch.

Stepping forward with a smile, she looked at Colton with a hint of a smile in her eyes. She whispered, "Colton, we

haven't met for so many years, but we know each other well. Just give it a try and see if you can really abandon

your own sister."

An air of gloom surrounded Colton as his ink-black eyes were fixed on the woman before him. After what seemed

like an eternity, he slowly asked, "So?" His voice was as biting cold as the iced waters in the dead of winter.

Sasha wasn't affected in the slightest bit, though. Instead, she burst into a guffaw, clutching her stomach and

laughing until her eyes teared up. Her cold gaze ran across Colton's face before settling on Nicole's. A bright smile

spread across her face; staring fixedly at Nicole, she said, "It's simple. If you don't want me to hurt Wendy, give up

this woman in exchange for her."

Colton's hands clenched slightly at his sides. His narrow eyes gleaming with chilliness, he looked at Sasha frostily,

saying, "You think I'll give in?"

Sasha had confidence written all over her face, knowing that Colton was a selfish man who would never give up his

own sister no matter how much he loved a woman. "That's up to you, President Gardner. You have two days to

think about it, during which time I can guarantee your sister's safety. If you haven't made up your mind two days

later, then don't blame me for what would happen to her," she replied without the slightest sign of fear in her

stormy eyes.

Colton let out a chuckle. Without saying anything else, he took Nicole's hand and walked outside.

Sasha wasn't in a hurry either. She said, "Go back and think about it, President Gardner. You may tell me your

decision two days later."

After Colton and his entourage had left, Jerry finally voiced his displeasure, complaining, "Why didn't you tell me

that Colton Gardner also has Pioneers at his back? Wouldn't it be suicide to go against the army so flagrantly?"

Darting an impassive look at him, Sasha replied with a cold snort, "So you're scared? But you've kidnapped his

sister already. You think he'll let you get away with it if you stop now?"

Jerry was lost for words. Sasha was right; even if he were to stop right now, Colton probably wouldn't let him get

away with this. He felt a headache coming on. I've almost ruined my whole career for the sake of a woman, really.

But now that I've done it, there's no turning back. He replied with a soft sigh, "Just take care of this mess yourself.

I'm not that kind-hearted as to get myself involved in this." With Colton's warning, there was no way he could still sit

here and wait for his doom. Right now, he had to move some of his people and possessions out of here, or he might

end up suffering grievous losses if this were to boil over for real.
