CHAPTER 185

Nash quickly grabbed his phone and located the person in the surveillance footage. Unaware of being recorded, the person tried to avoid the cameras, changed clothes in a blind spot, and left. It took some time, but Nash eventually found him.

“Let’s leave right away!” Nash exclaimed, and they quickly got into the car to follow the trail.

Nina felt exhausted, her body devoid of strength. Despite resting, she felt trapped in a state of lethargy, unable to wake up.

She heard a muffled and distant voice, “What should we do now?”

“We’ve tied her up. It’s time to get rid of her!” a female voice replied.

“Get rid of her? You want me to have blood on my hands? She’s my niece. No, I just want money!” Xander hesitated, never intending harm. “Call Nash. If he wants his wife back, he’ll bring money!” “No, you can’t call him! Are you insane?” The woman panicked, preventing Xander from reaching for his phone. “If Nash finds out, we’re dead. You kidnapped Nina. He’ll come after us. If you don’t get rid of her we’ll be in trouble!”

Xander realized the woman’s intentions were dubious, and her actions contradictory. His expression darkened. “Weren’t we supposed to solve my problems? Do you have another agenda?”

The woman observed Nina lying on the ground, unable to find peace until Nina was dealt with. “We share a common enemy. Just consider how Nina treats you. She has shown no concern for your well-being. She practically threw you into the fire. What loyalty do you owe her? Remove her from your life to free yourself from this grudge!”

The woman persistently attempted to convince Xander. Despite his hesitation, her words resonated with him. Indeed, Nina had displayed no regard for his life. Why should he care about her?

However, she was also the child he had watched grow up.

“Think about the debts you owe and your wife who’s still in the police station. It’s a because of her!” The woman continued to manipulate him. “If you release her today, she will know it was you. She will report you to the police. Forget about money, you will end up in jail! You have a daughter. She is facing a storm of online criticism. How will she survive? Isn’t it all Nina’s fault?”

Xander stared at Nina, who was unconscious on the ground. His hands were clenched into fists and his expression grew colder. He no longer had a way back. Inevitable death seemed to be the only

outcome now. There was no turning

back from this point.

He regained his composure and stopped looking at Nina. In a disinterested tone, he said, “Wake her up first. Let’s see if we can extract any information from her.”

He searched through her bag. Besides a few thousand dollars in cash, there was a card. That card must have some money on it.

The woman was a bit anxious and didn’t want Nina to wake up. “What’s your plan?”

“Money. She has money. She’ll tell me where it is to save her life!” Xander was only concerned about the money.

The woman asked again, “And then?”

“Once I have the money, I’ll escape before they find us.”

“Where can you escape to? They won’t let you get away.”

“I’ll figure that out after I obtain the money.” Xander’s gaze was fixedzon the money. It didn’t matter where they went as long as they had the money. When pushed to the edge, one had to secure something.

Nina, unconscious, felt terrible. Furrowing her brows, she forced herself to regain consciousness. She had to wake up in order to survive.

Suddenly, Nina opened her eyes, her pupils shrinking as she gasped for air.

Seeing her awake, the woman’s expression drastically changed and she quickly concealed herself.
