NovelOnline"I have money, please don't hurt me!" Nina's body was soaked in sweat, feeling completely drenched. She immediately opened her mouth to speak, recognizing that her first priority was to save her own life. Her eyes met Xander's, and she took in the chaotic room she was in, her hands bound. Seeing the man standing before her, her face turned pale. "Uncle." Xander stared at her coldly. "Now you're finally willing to calluncle?" Nina hadn't expected him to be so heartless as to kidnap her, regardless of their family ties. She didn't anticipate him showing any mercy now, but she still asked, "What do I need to do for you to release me?" "You mentioned having money," Xander said, holding the card that Nash had given her.
"Is there money on this card?" "Yes, there is money." A glimmer of a smile appeared on Xander's face, as greed sparkled in his eyes. "How much?" Nina inquired, "If I give it to you, will you letgo?" Before he could respond, another voice interrupted, "No!" There were other people present.
Nina's gaze shifted in the direction of the voice, but she couldn't see anyone. The person remained hidden in the shadows, unwilling to reveal herself.
"You can't let her go. If you do, you'll end up in prison!" the voice insisted.

"Xander, there is another guest here," Nina said, trying to distract Xander.
Xander replied coldly, "That's because you're not cooperating. If you did, we wouldn't be in this mess." "What's the password?" he asked again.
Nina glanced at the card in his hand. "How can I be sure that if I tell you, I'll survive? "Your friend seems to want my life." The intense reaction from the unseen person revealed how she had exploited Xander's greed to abduct her. One wanted money, the other wanted her life. Money could be earned, but she was more concerned about her own safety.
"It's impossible," Xander urgently demanded. "I'll release you as soon as you tellthe password. Quick, tellthe password." Nina hesitated. "Then untie my hands and feet," she requested.
Xander's expression changed drastically. "You planning to run?" Nina explained, "With you all watching andbeing bound like this, how could I possibly escape? But I need assurance that if you take the money, I can get away." In the end, Nina was still a woman, and Xander wasn't afraid of her running away, just warning her, "You better not play tricks." He proceeded to untie Nina.
Marks from the bindings were visible on her wrists. After stretching her limbs, she stood up, her gaze fixed on the woman.
"Now you can tell me," Xander declared.
Looking at Xander, Nina asked, "Xander, you just said if I tell you the password, you'll letgo and you won't take my life, right?" "I just want the money. If I didn't have these difficulties, I wouldn't treat you like this," Xander explained.
With a third person present, nothing was certain.

"Both you and Lily are easily influenced Do you realize that om everything you're doing how is leading you down a destructive path? You're being manipulated and used as pawns." "Don't listen to her nonsense. I'm doing this for your own benefit!" the woman insisted once again.
"Who are you? Why do you care about doing good for them? In the end, Lily will be detained and her reputation ruined, while Xander will end up in prison for kidnapping. Is that what you consider good?" Nina addressed Xander. "Xander, you need to think clearly. She wants
my life and you want money. I can give you the money, but you can't allow yourself to be someone else's pawn, doing things that harm me!" X
