Stephan hummed lightly.
| looked at the door, and my eyes flickered. "Can you open the door then, Mr. Stephan?"
Noticing that Stephan was moving, | looked at him and immediately broke out in a cold sweat.
He had opened his eyes and was staring fixedly at me.
| gulped and asked in a quivering voice, "Are you drunk, Mr. Stephan?"
Stephan got up to his feet and said blandly, "Don't infuriate Mr. Milan. He's more frightening than you think."
He turned around and left after saying that.
| froze in place, my mood extraordinarily complicated.
Looking at Stephan's back, | said in a hoarse voice, "I just want to see how they're doing."

Was there no other way to save them?

After running into the kitchen, | found a fruit knife and slit my wrist.
This was not the first t| had harmed myself. It was nothing terrifying to me, so I did it without a single

| walked to the living room and fell to the floor slowly.

Franky stood behind him and askedblandly, "Why did you try to kill yourself?"
| looked at Stephan, then at Milan, feeling a little dumbfounded.

| looked at him with slightly complicated eyes. | then asked Milan with a husky voice, "Sir, can | exchange my life
for theirs?"
Milan sneered. "Use your life to exchange for four lives? Do you think you're worth a lot of money?"
| took a deep breath and asked, "Aren't you curious
aboutand the Fredericks' relationship?"
He raised his eyebrows. "Does that concern me?"

It was too hard to communicate with this man.
| fell silent for a very long tand said, "Since the Fredericks are looking forand you also intend to send me
back, why don't you just doand the Fredericks a favor and let my friends go too?"
Franky clicked his tongue. "You must've hit your head, huh, woman? How dare you talk to Mr. Milan about
favors?”
| ignored him and merely looked at Milan, waiting for his answer.
Milan looked atand asked, "What's your relationship with the Fredericks, then?"
"It goes much deeper than you think.”
This was a complete lie, but | could only say that. They revered the Fredericks, so the closer | was to the
Fredericks, the more chances | had in bargaining and negotiating with him.
Milan did not speak immediately, but after staring atfor a moment, he said, "The terms are mutual.”
| was a little stunned, then grew serious. "What do you want?"
