When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 1736 I Am Doing You A Favor

"So, what do we do now? We've already captured her. We can't just let her go!" the sidekick protested, unwilling to accept the situation. After all, Cecilia was worth a whopping hundred million Azanian currency.

The young man lit a cigarette. "Of course, we can't just let her go. But we also can't harm her. Once the money is in, we'll release her."

"Huh?" The sidekick hadn't expected his boss to be so devoid of principles.

Cecilia listened intently to everything, and a slight sense of relief washed over her.

Luckily, these people still fear Nathaniel. If not, I would have lost my life just like that. But who could be trying to harm me?

At that time, Cecilia still felt quite dizzy.

She lay on the cold floor, attuned to every sound and movement from outside.

After a long while, she heard the sound of an approaching car, and someone got out.

Ralph hurried over. "We're already arranging the money. You guys get rid of her immediately."

He had just reached out to Cassandra.

With gritted teeth, Cassandra ordered someone to handle it.

She was willing to spend any amount of money as long as it could make Cecilia leave this world.

The young man flashed a somber smile. "Don't worry, we'll take care of things here. You can go now."

"You're asking me to go? I'm worried." Ralph was reluctant to leave just like that.

The young man was getting impatient. "You don't trust us? If you don't, then handle it yourself."

Ralph, being the crafty one that he was, sensed that something was off.

"We're paying a substantial amount. We expect to see the outcome."

"Don't worry, as soon as the money is in the account, we'll send you the video of her demise. If you don't trust us, you'll have to handle it yourself. This is no small matter."

"All right."

Ralph had no choice but to get back in the car, instructing the driver to leave.

He arrived at a secluded spot where Cassandra was.

"Dad, how's it going?"

"They assured me that as soon as they get the money, they'll take care of it," Ralph responded.

Cassandra, however, remained skeptical. "What if they lie to us?"

Such matters were never meant to be brought into the light.

Ralph patted her shoulder. "Don't worry, our people are nearby, keeping watch. If things get out of hand, we'll intervene. We can always pin the blame on them if need be."

He wasn't someone who could be easily deceived.

Cassandra nodded. "Okay."

Over half an hour later, the man received the money, a broad smile spreading across his face. "The gap between the rich and the poor is truly vast these days. Some people can just effortlessly throw around

such large sums of money.

He pushed the room door open again, walked over to Cecilia, and crouched down

to nudge her arm.

"Wake up. Don't worry, I won't do anything to harm you."

Upon hearing his carefree voice, Cecilia didn't open her eyes. "Aren't you afraid I'l see what you look like?"

The man paused, then it finally dawned on him.noveldrama

He fetched a mask and put it on. "Done."

Only then did Cecilia open her eyes. The person in front of her was a tall and thin

man.

The man scrutinized Cecilia closely.

"Remember, I'm not the one

targeting you. In fact, I'm doing you a favor by letting you go. Just make sure not to repay my kindness with ingratitude."

Cecilia gave a slight nod. "Thank you. Don't worry, I won't mention you guys."

Only then did the man untie the rope that bound her.

"Go now. After you get out, follow the small path to the right for a few kilometers, and you'll see a main road."

Cecilia rose to her feet, her legs feeling somewhat numb. "All right, thank you." "Wait a moment," the man called out to her again.
