CEO

Exactly. He could transfer two hundred million to her account. So why hesitate over ten million?

Nina looked down, feeling a pang of bitterness in her heart. He was good, really good. But each act of kindness felt like a stab to her heart, making it difficult to move on while also causing her pain. Xander smiled and promptly recited his bank account number. Nash took out his phone and made a call. “Transfer ten million to this account immediately!”

The woman hiding behind them panicked at the sight. No, this couldn’t happen! Nina had to disappear completely!

A message alert sounded on Xander’s phone. He checked the message: the bank had sent him a notification. He glanced at the balance: ten million! It was more money than he had ever seen in his life. Xander felt excited and happy as he put his phone in his pocket. “How can I be sure you’ll let me go once I release Nina?” he asked.

Nash replied, “There’s a car here. You can drive away. I won’t stop you.”

“Then let me go.”

Xander noticed a multitude of parked cars outside. Once he left, he knew he would be completely safe. With the money he held in his hand, he could vanish and begin a new life with his wife and daughter in a place where no one could recognize them. Everything would improve.

The woman’s eyes turned cold as ice upon witnessing this scene. She couldn’t stay here any longer. Fortunately, she had a backup plan in case things went wrong and she found herself caught in the middle of a conflict.

There was a rear exit, and with everyone’s attention fixed on Xander, she slipped away unnoticed.

As they stepped outside, Xander held Nina hostage. Nash trailed behind, his palms growing clammy at the sight of blood on Nina’s neck. He feared that any misstep could inflict more harm upon her, a risk he couldn’t afford.

Xander guided Nina towards the car. Despite his earlier harsh behavior, they both emerged unharmed. He had no intention of harming her, and no major errors were made.

He glanced at Nina and let out a

sigh. “Nina, I apologize for this. I found myself in a difficult situation as well. If you had given me the

money, none of this would have net

occurred. Now that I have it,

promise not to harm you. I’ll release you if you cooperate and fet me leave peacefully.”

“With this money, our family won’t need Zion’s or your help anymore.”

Deep down, Xander knew that his selfishness had harmed his family. “I’ve been a burden on my brother alt these years. It won’t happen again. I’ll take them overseas to live. Go back and tell your father that it’s better off without me as a brother!”

Nina felt a sudden bitterness upon hearing his words. Her father always described them as close brothers

who grew up together, but something had changed. Out of

respect for her father, she still saw

him as her uncle.

Having spoken, Xander pushed Nina aside and hastily entered the car. Nina fell to the ground but was caught by Nash.

“Are you alright?” Nash asked.

Nina didn’t want him to apply too much force, so she supported herself and didn’t put too much weight on him. She was afraid he might get hurt again because of her.

Nash held her neck, examining her wound. “Luckily, the wound isn’t deep. We’ll go to the hospital later, but as for…”

Before he could finish his sentence, there was a deafening explosion.

“Bang!”

Nina’s heart skipped a beat as she turned to see flames erupting right before her eyes!
