Beryl's eyes lit up, and she found an opportunity. "You asked me to contact Marcellus. I will ask him to give you everything you want. You can use me as a hostage to make a deal. You can rest assured now, right?"
Although Marico liked money, he was also a very thoughtful person. He had experienced so many people and climbed out of a group of villains. When he heard these words and thought of what had happened in the past, he would not be easily tempted.
He knew that once something went wrong in any part; it would definitely not be as simple as money. He was very likely to be used as a scapegoat.
At his current age, he definitely couldn't go to the police station a second time.
Therefore, after thinking for a while, Marico advised himself to give up this idea.
After all, he was already very satisfied with the conditions set by the Toby Family. There was no need to let go of this kind of opportunity that was close at hand.
No matter how well Beryl put it, no matter how many promises she made, as long as the money was not in her hands, everything would be empty.
Seeing that he did not speak, Beryl felt frightened. She hoped that Marico would agree. As long as he could get in touch with Marcellus, even if it was just a phone call, she was confident that he would notice and come to her.
She thought that Marico would be tempted and agree, but when she turned around again and looked down at the iron pliers in the stove, she immediately despaired.
Sure enough, the next second, she heard him say, "You're young, but you're quite scheming. You still want me to get the most benefits at a time like this. You're really considerate!"
Beryl cursed in her heart. She knew that he was deliberately threatening her. "I'm just doing this for myself, but if you're willing to let me go, I can satisfy you in material terms."
After hearing this, Marico just raised his lip and smiled evilly. Then he said nothing more, took the dirty and thick white gloves aside, and put them on.
