After Reborn, I Become a Billionaire novel Chapter 739

Chapter 739 Striving for Rescue

Upon hearing that, Manuel couldn't help clenching his phone tighter.

A trace of blood thirst flashed across his eyes. He used to believe that Henry wouldn't try any dangerous attempts on Susan as he still reserved feelings for her. After all, it was exactly because of Susan that Henry dropped his plan to kill him today. However, Henry's sudden change had gone beyond his expectation.

If he had noticed that a bit earlier, he would have realized all those calls from Susan were actually a signal of calling for help.

What if he had picked up the phone? Perhaps she wouldn't have been kidnapped.

His countenance was getting darker.

Edward continued agitatedly, "Now Henry asked me to transfer the shares to Susan. After that, he wants me to commit suicide."

"Are you at home?" Manuel tried to compose himself.

"Yes."

"I'll be right there."

"OK." Edward hurried to remind him, "Don't call the police! Otherwise, Henry would threaten to kill Susan."

"Get it."

Now that Henry had been pushed to the edge, he would possibly resort to the worst means. Manuel then hurried to get up from the bed and put on his clothes. Now he didn't even seem to feel the pain in his back.

He drove himself to the Phillips Manor, where Edward was expecting him in agitation.

It was about dawn time.

Seeing Manuel coming over, Edward felt like coming across a life-saving straw to clutch at. He hurried over, "Manuel, what should we do? I am afraid Henry will try something evil on her."

"Just tell me about Henry's request." Manuel seemed more self-possessed than Edward.

After taking a deep breath, Edward composed himself to continue, "From the very beginning, Henry approached Susan only to revenge his parents. I pushed them into suicide. It was nothing but a commercial competition. Yes, I gotta admit that I was playing dirty at that time. And I am fully responsible for that. Now Henry is back for revenge. He just called to tell me that I should transfer all the shares to Susan, and he would claim the right to operate. After I finish all these, I need to kill myself."

Upon hearing his quick statement, Manuel hadn't made any immediate remark.

"I don't care about my own life. After all, I am ageing enough to face death. But I can't get her killed…That's my only last wish." Said Edward seriously.

Meanwhile, his eyes were filled with tears.

"Just start your action as he required. I will go to rescue her." Said Manuel.

"Can you?" Edward found it quite incredible.

What was more, there was a bigger concern-what if Henry noticed his attempt and decided to kill her?

"You will make a call to him and tell him that you will do as exactly he expected. However, you need to insist on talking to Susan because now we gotta make sure she's still fine and alive."

Startled, Edward couldn't even utter a word. According to Manuel, he couldn't help worrying if Susan had been killed.

"We need him to be aware of one thing, we will decline his request if he dares to try any dangerous attempt on Susan."

Then he walked over to Susan. Seeing him approaching, Susan soon turned alert.

Henry reached out the phone to her, "Speak!"

Upon seeing the number shown on the screen, she could tell it was her father. She clenched her teeth to keep silent.

"Hey, Susan, don't play tough." Henry threatened.

Susan still remained silent. Irritated, Henry pinched her jaw hard. Tears soon welled up in her eyes out of pain. But still, she responded with silence, wondering if her dad would be free from being threatened once he reckoned she was dead already.

"If you wanna keep your mouth shut…" Henry suddenly let go of her jaw, which had turned horribly red.

"I will rip off your clothes and let your dad enjoy your moans in sex!"

"Henry, you fucking bastard!" Edward was outrageous.

Susan also captured her father's furious voice. Her eyes were filled with tears. Never did she expect to be greatly humiliated like that.

But Henry simply ignored Edward's fury. He spoke to Susan, "You want me to start with your lips or your vagina?"

"Enough!" Edward snarled. He almost passed out in madness.

"Oh, by the way, your dad seems to be suffering from serious hypertension recently. What if he got struck by cerebral haemorrhage out of rage?" Henry smirked evilly.
