Married At First Sight By Gu Lingfei

If they wanted to invest in a business, a million wouldn't last long.

Even buying a decent car would cost hundreds of thousands. And if they just put it in the bank, the interest rates were getting lower and lower. A standard savings account would barely yield $10,000 or $20,000 a year-if that.

So to them, a million per person wasn't much.

It wasn't nearly enough to satisfy their appetite.

After all, the Janzen brothers weren't asking them to do something simple they wanted them to break the law, to hurt someone. If they got caught and investigated, they'd have to pay the price. Maybe even serve a few years in prison. Losing their freedom for a million dollars? Not worth it.

Marco spoke up. "Mr. Janzen, sure, we hate Kathryn. But we live out in the countryside, far from Jensburg and far from her. As long as we don't provoke her, she won't bother with us. Our lives are still peaceful. The economy might not be great, but at least we have food on the table, a roof over our heads, and, most importantly, our freedom.

"You're the ones desperate to get rid of her. If Kathryn stays in power, your interests take the biggest hit. That's why you're willing to pay us. But think about it-if you just accepted your fate, resigned, sold your assets, and left Jensburg, you could live just as comfortably as us.

You wouldn't have to worry about Kathryn coming after you, and you wouldn't have to pay us anything or get your hands dirty."
