Chapter 1627 Saved By A Woman

I might make it out alive if I jump out of the window before they pounce on me. If worse comes to worst, I’ll be able to retain my innocence and join Chris in the afterworld. In order to do so, I need to divert their attention and buy myself some time!

All of a sudden, Nina yelled, “Wait a minute!”

“What’s wrong?”

“Since I’m going to die, can you at least tell me who sent you? I’m going to haunt them for the rest of their life once I’m dead! I’m not asking all of you to do me a favor without any compensation in return! Once I’m dead, feel free to retrieve my savings! There’s more than enough for all of you to live a carefree life!”

Unable to resist the tempting offer, the kidnappers exchanged glances and engaged themselves in a round of heated discussion.

“I think it’s fine since she’s as good as gone! It’s impossible for her to run away from us!”

“Indeed, let’s not risk being haunted by her when we’re not even the ones who want her dead! Since we’re merely executing someone else’s instructions, why don’t we do her a favor and tell her the identity of the mastermind?”

“The two of you have a point!” one of the kidnappers agreed. He then turned to Nina and asked, “But I’m more interested in knowing the sum you’re offering in return for the identity of the mastermind.”

“That’s right! How much would it be since you said we’d be able to live a carefree life?”

It looks like they’re greedy for money. Well, it’s great they’re driven by greed! Otherwise, they won’t even be swayed, Nina thought.

Then, she said, “The card in my bag gives you access to an account with fifty million. I’m sure it’s more than what the mastermind has offered all of you, isn’t it?”

“Fifty million?”

The kidnappers looked at her in disbelief. The woman who engaged us merely offered us two million at the start, and it was only after some negotiations did we manage to raise the sum to five million. Yet, this woman is offering us fifty million? Does she really have that much money?

In order to convince them, Nina glanced at her bag and suggested, “If you don’t believe me, why don’t you retrieve the card from my bag and see for yourself?”

At that instant, the kidnappers placed their attention on her bag.

When they went to retrieve the card, Nina sprinted to the window and jumped out of the building without any hesitation.

A second before she jumped, she estimated that she was on the tenth floor.

Despite the daunting height, she knew she had no time for hesitation. If the kidnappers became aware of her plan, they would assault and kill her immediately.

At least by jumping out the window, she would die with her innocence.

Her sole regret was that she could not figure out the mastermind’s identity. Nonetheless, she had faith that her father would avenge her.

Daddy, Mommy, Juan, Kyle, Maya, I guess it’s goodbye for now! Chris, I’m coming for you!

Seeing that she was about to hit the ground, she shut her eyes, bracing herself for the impact. Yet, contrary to her expectations, she did not fall to her death. Instead, she felt something propelling and pulling her, and she spun in the air a few times before falling to the ground.

Feeling lightheaded, she took some time to regain her bearings. The moment she opened her eyes, she saw an older woman lying next to her. Did she save me?

The older woman asked concernedly, “Are you okay?”

“I-I’m fine! What about you?”

“I’m fine as well. I didn’t have time to react since you suddenly jumped out of the window. Had you not done so, I would’ve been able to help you land on the ground safely.”

Upon sizing the older woman up, Nina thought that she seemed well-trained.

Who would’ve known that someone would rush to my rescue in the nick of time!

“Thank you so much!”

“That won’t be necessary because I’m merely taking care of you on someone else’s behalf.”

“Who is it?”

“It’s Mr. Sanders.”

Mr. Sanders? Isn’t that Chris?

Curious, Nina asked, “D-Do you know Chris? Who are you then? What’s your relationship with him?”

“That’s none of your concern. He wants me to tell you he has donated his heart to someone else voluntarily.”
