Chapter 152 The Foreseen Dilemma

Under Elsa's surprised gaze, I remained indifferent. "What? Don't you want me to be saved?"

She instinctively shook her head and then suddenly realized no one else was around. Without another word, she turned away, refusing to look at me.

I closed my eyes, conserving my little energy for when it was time to run.

As night fell, Jeremiah and Jack arrived at the abandoned building.

The man who had brought them here stood before Elsa and me, letting out a cold scoff. "Did you get the million dollars ready?"

Jeremiah's expression was steely. "It's ready. Just as you demanded, it's been transferred to your offshore account."

"Elsa, are you alright?" Jack spoke up before Jeremiah could.

Elsa choked back a sob. Even though they couldn't see her face clearly in the dim light, she still played her role flawlessly, with tears spilling down her cheeks.
