Chapter 1670 The Exchange
Kyle remained silent.
Evan took a deep breath. “I’ll let you handle this matter, Kyle. While you can do what you want with it, you must remember that you have a responsibility to protect the Seet family and Seet Group.”
Kyle nodded. “Yes, Daddy.”
“Daddy, what will you do if Kyle takes the chip and gives it to Steven to get his wife back?” Juan asked.
“He won’t!” Evan yelled.
Davin added, “That’s right. It’s thanks to generations of hard work that the Seet family is where it is today. I believe Kyle will deal with this matter with utmost care.”
Kyle suddenly felt a lot of pressure weighing on his shoulders. He was aware that his father had assigned the matter to him because Sally was involved.
However, he still believed that, instead of creating an even more powerful version of the chip, it would be better to invent something that would guarantee to make the chip malfunction.
The chip was a powerful, explosive weapon. It would be better if it were rendered harmless to everyone forever.
Meanwhile, Sally was surprised to hear that Juan had stolen the chip.
“He really stole the chip? Are you sure it’s him?” she asked.
“Yes! The button definitely belongs to Juan, but they denied it.” Steven spoke confidently.
Upon seeing his sister sigh, Skyler said, “I’m so glad that you’re back with us. You’re our lifesaver now.”
“What do you mean by that, Skyler?”
“Before this, Evan was scared that Daddy will blow up Imperial Garden, so he made the both of us stay as hostages. With the chip in his hand, he can just destroy us if he’s unhappy. But now that you’re with us, there’s no way they’re going to attack us and harm the baby inside you.”
Sally patted her stomach instinctively. But I’m not pregnant! And now, there’s no way I can get pregnant either!
“The chip may be in Evan’s hand, but you still have the controller, isn’t it, Daddy? He won’t be able to activate the chip.”
“Are you that stupid, Sally? If he wants to use the chip, he can just research how to. He got a lot of talented people under his employment. It’ll be a piece of cake for him to figure out how the chip works and how to make a controller for it.”
Sally fell silent.
She didn’t really understand why they couldn’t just try to resolve the issue peacefully, considering both families didn’t have that much grudge against each other. Well, except when her father misunderstood Evan.
“In any case, now that you’re back, you just need to stay with us until we get the issue sorted out.”
“How long do I need to stay, Daddy?” Sally asked.
“That… We’ll have to see how the situation unfolds. Don’t worry, I’ll take good care of you. You’re pregnant right now, so I’ll make sure your meals are tailored to ensure you and your baby’s health.”
Sally sighed inwardly. What do I do when they notice my belly’s not getting any bigger, and I’m not giving birth after ten months? I’ll have to call Kyle later to see what we should do.
Skyler was staring at his sister’s belly when he abruptly asked, “Daddy, how about we make a trade with Evan?”
“What kind of trade?”
“His grandchild is in your hands right now, and I bet he values this child more than the chip. How about we just make an exchange with him as soon as possible? If we don’t move fast, he may have already started his research on the chip.”
“What do you mean by that, Skyler? You want to use the child inside me?”
“We don’t have a choice, Sally. The baby inside you is their own flesh and blood. There’s no way they’ll let the baby get hurt, so you don’t need to worry about it.”
“What if he refuses the exchange? What will you do?”
“If he refuses? Well, if he refuses, then it means their family doesn’t care about you or your baby! There’s no need for you to stay with Kyle if that’s the case!”
