Chapter 2372
Ava's expression suddenly changed, and she rammed into Madeline with her shoulder.
“Maddie, he won't do anything to me. You should leave.”
“Since you’re already here, don’t even think about leaving.” The man's evil voice came from behind Madeline.
Madeline raised her hand and gently wiped the stain on Ava's face. Then, she stood up.
She raised her imposing eyes. “You’re only doing these things for money. Since that’s the case, how about we make a deal?”
After hearing this, the man stared at Madeline witha playful look in his eyes for a few seconds. “Mrs. Whitman, you’re my hostage now. You’re the most valuable item that I’ll be using to extort money, so why are you even talking to me about conditions?” “You're just saying that because you want money. I want to live, and I want to take my good friend out of here safely. I’m willing to propose a higher price to buy both my and my good friend’s lives.”
The man originally thought that Madeline was just saying this to buy more time, but seeing Madeline's serious expression at the moment, he was a little shaken.
To be honest, people like him were only involved in this kind of work for money. He would work for whoever paid him more and would not bother about benevolence and righteousness.
“Mrs. Whitman, are you serious?”
“Do you think I'd play with my life?” Madeline asked sternly.
The man figured that it made sense. After he thought about it, money was just a number to those with a family background like Madeline. They would not lose their lives for a small sum of money.
The man's eyes suddenly became greedy. “Then how much can you give me?”
“I'll give you twice as much as the other party gave you for our lives. But if you can tell me who hired you to target me and Ava, I’ll let you name the price.” Upon hearing this, the man's eyes lit up even more, “ Eveline, you have to keep your word.”
