Chapter 714 I Will Be Waiting For You 

I didn’t realize there are conflicts between them

Lysander pondered for a moment, the idea in her head becoming clearer and clearer. Write a ransom letter right now and send it to Thorne Constructions and Energies. I am the only daughter of the Thorne family. My parents will agree to it.” 

The leader, upon hearing her speak in such detail, visibly wavered in his resolve

The Thorne familyHe clearly had a greater desire. Can the Thorne family immediately produce three million in cash?” 

In truth, Lysander lacked confidence, but at that moment, all she could do was nod and say, Of course.” 

The thugseyes widened in disbelief when they heard the figure of three million. Their leader, in particular, could already envision luxury cars and beautiful women beckoning to him. However, he wasn’t a leader for nothing. He wasn’t completely brainless. Warily, he asked, What if the Thorne family reports us to the police?” 

If you’re worried, you can take the money first before letting me go. They won’t call the police out of concern for my safety.” 

A thug whispered into his ear, Boss, don’t forget, she’s not just the only daughter of the Thorne family. She’s also Josiah’s woman!” 

The leader slapped his forehead. Thenwe can ask Josiah for another three million! That will make it six million in total!” 

Could the Thorne family’s wealth ever compared to that of Josiah? If the Thorne family could come up with three million, then Josiah would surely have to come up with fiveNo, he’d have to come up with ten million!” 

Another one chimed in, But Josiah is with Ms. Lanister. How are we supposed to ask him for money? If we call him now, Ms. Lanister will definitely find out” 

The leader was so obsessed with money that he completely missed Lysander’s subtle probing. He cursed under his breath, D*mn it, not a single one of these rich folks is honest. They keep the most valuable stuff for themselves while we, who risk our lives, are left with nothing!”

Lysander felt a slight relief in her heart

It seems that Josiah is indeed with Tiffany. At least his life is secure

She said. Then you could ask the Thorne family for a bit more. Although they might not be able to give a lot, an extra million or two shouldn’t be too much of a problem.” 

The leader turned around, his gaze sweeping over her. I need to take something from you as proof, don’t I? How else are they going to believe you’re with us?” 

Boss, should we consider chopping off one of her fingers?” 

Have you lost your mind? Don’t you understand who she is? Josiah did everything for her, even lived in that godforsaken backwater, covered in dirt for days on end! If you so much as harm a single finger of hers, Josiah will lose it, and you won’t even know what hit you when you’re dead!” 

If they want to gain the Thorne family’s trust, it’s indeed essential to have something that can prove my identity

Lysander said, You can remove the buttons from my sleeve. My family has seen me in this outfit before.” 

The leader was skeptical yet hopeful, swayed by the prospect of three million. He sent his most clever subordinate to deliver the message. However, just as he was about to depart, the leader had a change of heart and raised his demands. Wait a minute, I’ve reconsidered. We should give them a chance to negotiate. Let’s ask for six million instead.” 

Boss, do you think we should still ask Guerra Group for money? If the Thorne family can’t provide this much, won’t we be at a loss? This is our one and only chance to strike it rich in our lifetime!” 

The leader seemed unwilling to back down, gritting his teeth. He tore another button from Lysander’s shirt and handed it to him. Then go and ask for it! Josiah isn’t around, but his secretary who has been with him for several years should have. some authority. Ask for as much as you can!” 

Should I just ask for ten million, then?” 

The starting price is ten million; the lowest is five million. Tell her, if she doesn’t give us the money, her bosswife’s life won’t be guaranteed. Once Josiah returns

there will be a reckoning!” 

“All right, all right, I get it. I’m going right now!”

Watching the thug walk away with the buttons, Lysander let out a deep sigh

The Thorne family was likely capable of providing the money, but on Guerra Group’s side, with Carol absent, Olivia’s authority was limited. Five million was probably out of the question

It was uncertain whether Olivia was sharp enough to establish contact with Josiah

Since their last phone conversation, almost a full day and night had passed. She wondered if he had figured out a way to extricate himself from the situation. She had done everything within her power; all thatwas left was to leave things up to fate

Meanwhile, Josiah seemed to have sensed Lysander’s predicament. His hand trembled inexplicably, shattering the cup that Tiffany insisted on handing him

Water mixed with shards of glass was scattered all over the ground

With great patience, Tiffany rose to her feet and said, Jose, this is already your third glass of water. You’re not behaving well.” 

She was constantly by Josiah’s side, seemingly intent on making him yield to her will

Something was added to every glass of water

From the start, Josiah had never shown her any kindness. The effects of the drug had significantly faded over time, but it was still not enough to restore his strength to the point where he could escape from there

From time to time, footsteps could be heard from downstairs. He had once seen Tiffany instructing the bodyguards outside the room while he feigned unconsciousness

Those people were his greatest obstacle

As he pondered, Tiffany poured him a fourth glass of water, placing it before him. Jose, my patience does have its limits. If you don’t drink this glass, then Lysa might just”
