Chapter 188



Geneva couldn't stop her tears, shaking her head in denial, struggling to come closer.

Talbot pressed the gun against her temple, "Move again, and you'll be the first I take down!"

"Galen Brown, eager to save your daughter, huh? Fine, but I want to see the money first!"

He then gestured with his gun towards me, "You and Melanie, in exchange for Geneva. Fair, isn't it?"

"Melanie, after all, is Mrs. Patterson. Even the cops tread lightly around her. With her by my side abroad, what do I have to fear?"

"Melanie isn't your flesh and blood, you know who you should save."

He burst into laughter again, and Geneva, scared, closed her eyes.

Galen Brown crawled a few steps closer, his plea humble and desperate.

"Let the kids go, and I can get you the money. What do you think I've been doing all these years?"

"The key is with me, and I'm the primary holder. Melanie can't touch the money!"

"Talbot, the cops are on your trail. You can't escape through normal means, but I can smuggle you out! Believe me, I'm in deep trouble too and can't stay in the country!"

Hearing this, a glint of hope appeared in Talbot's eyes.
