Fear gripped her heart.
“Fine, | won't move. Don’t slash me.”
As Millie displayed a sense of calm, the gangster shifted his gaze towards Marcus.
“Mr. Thomas, if you wish to save your wife, heed my instructions,” he said.
Despite the dire circumstances, Marcus remained composed, showing no signs of panic.
“Release her. You can target me instead. Holding a woman hostage is a cowardly act.”
Marcus’ countenance darkened, causing the gangster to move back a step, pulling Millie along with him. “Releasing her is out of the question. | demand that you jump off the cliff, or | will kill her right this instant!”
Jump off the cliff? Millie glanced at the precipice of the cliff. The mere sight of it made her legs quiver. Plunging into that abyss would surely mean certain death.
Judging from Marcus’ indifferent demeanor, she could tell that he would never agree to such a condition. Marcus merely sneered at the bastard. “If you release her now, | will spare your life,” he said.
In other words, he refused to jump off the cliff.
Millie had anticipated this response, yet anxiety consumed her, making her heart race.
The gangster stood momentarily stunned. He clenched his teeth and declared, “You don’t care about saving your wife. Fine, | will kill her immediately. After all, my master has designated both of you as targets.”
Millie urgently pleaded, “Please don’t kill me. Whatever sum your master offered you, | will double it.”
“Don't attempt to deceive me. You're just a young girl. What money could you possibly possess?”
The gangster grew increasingly agitated, the dagger pressing closer against Millie's neck. She was certain that even the slightest movement would result in a fatal stab.
“I'm incredibly wealthy. Release me, and | will triple the amount of money offered.”
Regardless of whether it was true or not, she had to claim that she had some wealth.
“Shut up, you bitch. Make another sound, and I'll kill you first.”
At this point, Millie was horrified. She gazed at Marcus, who remained eerily composed as if nothing had occurred, and her sadness intensified.Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
She also understood that the gangster hadn't acted yet and was still intent on killing Marcus.
