Chapter 105
Chapter 105
Jonas was a notorious figure in Travos. He did all kinds of shady business. Lucas could not afford to offend him
Lucas wouldn’t have had the chance to come into contact with such a person. He thought, “Thanks to that worthless thing Sophia, I’ve managed to lure these underworld figures over just because she bears the title of “Jason Wilson’s wife“”
He thought, “In any case, I’ve already received the 60 million dollars i wanted. After paying off the principal and interest, I still have over 20 million dollars left. It’s enough for me to squander for a while. As for Sophia, who’s been messed around by men, she’s not my own sister Her life and death have nothing to do with me. If I can use her to make some money from Jonas, that’d be great.
The call was quickly connected. Jason’s cold voice came from the receiver. “You’ve figured out how to make this deal, huh?” he asked.
Lucas did not dare to speak. He tilted his head to look at Jonas, who was beside him.
Jonas leaned over and whispered in his car. It was only then that Lucas said, “Transfer another 60 million dollars to me. I’ll let her go once the
money is transferred.”
Jason sneered and said, “Humph. What makes you think she’s worth 60 million dollars? I’ll give you another 600 thousand dollars, and you Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
release her.”
600 thousand dollars?‘ Lucas thought.
Lucas was so a
so angry that he nearly stomped his feet. He strode over to Sophia and grabbed her hair, yanking her head up.
“Jason, don’t push it too far,” he said. “She’s your wife. Buying her life for 600 thousand dollars? Think I’m stupid, huh?”
Sophia had not slept for nearly a day and a night. Her face was haggard, and her eye sockets were sunken. Her empty eyes were gray, as it they were covered in the shadow of death.
She thought, “That man spent 60 million dollars to ransom Ada, keeping her safe under his wings. It’s my turn now, yet he’s only willing to spend 600 thousand dollars, and even then, unwillingly. 500 thousand dollars. Turns out that this is my worth in his eyes. Thankfully, I’m not completely worthless.”
After a moment of silence, Jason’s cold and heartless voice came through the receiver again. “I’ve already divorced her,” he said. “600 thousand dollars is the limit. It’s up to you whether you accept it or not. As for her life and death, it has nothing to do with me.”
With that said, he hung up immediately.
When Lucas heard the beeping sound coming from the receiver, he got so angry that he slapped Sophia’s face.
“You disappointing thing,” he said. “You’re only worth 600 thousand dollars.”
Then, he suddenly shook her off and turned to look at Jonas, who was not far away. He smiled apologetically and said, “Jonas, as you can see, this woman is worthless in Jason’s eyes. In my
opinion, we should just sell her to a nightclub. There are plenty of people in the underworld who have grudges against Jason. If they find out that his wife is working as a hostess, they’ll definitely show up at the nightclub and use her service. We can make a big profit by then.”
Jonas rubbed his chin and came up with a plan.
He thought, ‘I want to see if Jason truly doesn’t care about this woman or if he cares too much but is afraid to expose his vulnerability!
“Alright,” Jonas said. “We’ll do as you say. Text Jason now and tell him that if he doesn’t transfer 60 million dollars, you’ll send his wife to work as a hostess and serve hundreds of men anight until we make 60 million dollars.”

Lucas did not dare to say no. After he bowed and agreed, he hurriedly texted Jason.
Sophia, who was thrown back onto the sofa by Lucas, curled up into a ball. Her entire body was trembling intensely. She had not taken any special medication for a day and a night. Her heart was in severe pain.
Jonas walked up to the sofa and looked at her with condescension. He sneered and said, “It seems that the rumors about Jason and his wife being estranged are true. Look at this delicate beauty, being abandoned by him just like this. Tsk, he’s really ruthless and heartless. I’ve never seen such a scumbag of a man.”
Sophia clutched her chest tightly. She was unable to endure the excruciating torture. Threads of blood trickled from the corners of her mouth, contrasting against her pale face
It was so painful that she truly longed for death.
But the universe wouldn’t readily let her depart this world.
When Lucas called Jason, Jason was secretly rushing to Vayberry
As soon as he hung up, West’s assistant sent him a message, informing him that Jonas from Travos had secretly entered the country and was now lying low in Vayberry.
He was glad that he had not agreed to Lucas’s demand for 60 million dollars in ransom. Otherwise, Jonas would have known that he cared
about his wife.
For people like them, once their weaknesses were exposed, it would be equivalent to having their lifelines grasped by someone else. They would end up in a difficult situation where it was hard to accomplish anything.
In the evening, Jason arrived in Vayberry and met with the satisfied West at a clubhouse.
Looking at his leisurely and carefree look, Jason gritted his teeth and asked, “Have you found out their whereabouts?”
West lit a cigarette. As he recalled the bone–chilling sensation, he said, “It’s already under control. Don’t get involved. Leave it to me to
handle.
Jason closed his eyes and suppressed the anxiety. He said in a serious voice, “Go and deal with it then. Why are you loafing around here?”
Looking at his anxious expression, West raised his eyebrows and asked with a faint smile, “Jason, you have truly gotten involved, huh?”
