When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel)

Chapter 1735 Our Lives Could Be At Stake

When Cecilia woke up again, she was engulfed in complete darkness, with only the faint murmur of people conversing reaching her ears.

"This is a matter of life and death. A few million is far from enough. It has to be at least this amount!"

"Ten million?"

The voice of a somewhat familiar middle-aged man rang out.

"No, it's one hundred million Azanian currency!" said the man negotiating with the middle-aged man.

A hundred million Azanian currency?

Ralph found it hard to believe. "That's a huge amount. Why don't you just go rob someone instead?"

He didn't have that much money on him at that moment.

"If you're not going to give it to me, then do it yourself," the young man said, exasperated. "We're taking a huge risk here. Once this is over, we can't stay around. Don't think I don't know who she is. She's the CEO of Jamieson Group. If I were to ask her, do you think she'd give me a hundred million Azanian currency to save her own life? I suppose she'd even give me a billion Azanian currency."

Ralph felt a twinge of regret, questioning how he had ended up with such unreliable individuals.

Yet, he himself didn't dare to truly take action.

"I just don't have that kind of money on hand right now. How about this? You guys start ahead, and once you're overseas, I'll figure something out and wire the money to you."

Cecilia listened in silence and came to the chilling realization that someone had paid to have her killed.
