Chapter 19 Robert Chose Power

Robert went to the agreed location alone.

He got out of the car and lugged the three million in cash to the warehouse, asking for the hostage to be released.

The man who looked like a monkey was the leader. He had a scar on his face, and he looked quite scary. He grabbed a few stacks of cash to check their authenticity, and after confirming that it was real cash, he beamed.

“You’re quite generous, Mr. Sloan. If you had been this cooperative earlier, Miss Miller wouldn’t have had to suffer.”

He gestured with a look, and his subordinates immediately let Melora go..

After regaining freedom, Melora instantly ran into Robert’s arms as she sobbed. “Robert, why did you take so long? I think I broke my leg. It hurts… They even said that if you don’t come any sooner, they’d rape me… Boohoo…”

Robert/comforted Melora as he embraced her.

However, his eyes were trained on Crystal.

Crystal struggled with all her might, but her mouth was stuffed with a piece of cloth, so she couldn’t say a word.

She knew Robert very well. He would sacrifice her for the sake of power.

Throughout the whole ordeal, Robert never said a word.

He watched as Crystal slowly turned from defiant to despairing…

The monkey–faced man grinned, then lifted Crystal’s chin with his knife. “Mr. Sloan, this girl is probably worth 300,000 at the very least with her beauty. Since you’re loaded, you might as well take her. If not, we’ll have her for ourselves.”

Robert could afford the 300,000.

However, he couldn’t possibly offer anything.

Henry was already suspecting him, so he couldn’t risk having Melora suspect his relationship with Crystal as well. If Melora knew about this and called off their marriage, his years of effort would go to waste.

If Robert had to choose between power and women, he would go for power,
