    Chapter 785 Pay Up or Die


    Graham and James were well aware of the blond man’s craftiness but did not object to the ransom


    amount.


    “Money is not a problem. But how can you guarantee you’d let us go after you get the money?” James


    asked. In his eyes, the abductors had no credibility at all.


    “Mr. Windsor, just trust us,” the blond man offered ackadaisical promise, unconcerned with whether


    Graham and James were convinced, knowing full well they had no other option. His hostages didn’t


    have the luxury of giving up their only hope, even if he walked back on the promise. That was the


    reason behind his cockiness.


    James nced at him but did not call him out. “How about this? We’ll pay you the first 300 million


    dors to release Mr. Walter. You can let me go when you receive the second payment,” he suggested.


    At the very least, one of them could be free. Graham would be safe even if the blond man took back his


    word.


    “No!” Graham spoke ahead of the blond man. “James, you leave first. I’ll be thest to go.” He and


    James knew that the blond man wouldn’t free them both. Whoever was left behind would lose his life.


    Putting aside the business partnership between the


    Walters and the Windsors, the fact that James was Jenny’s senior meant Graham wouldn’t do that to


    him.


    “Mr. Walter…’


    “James Windsor!” Graham growled quietly. “Listen to me. I only have one request please go easy on Jo


    if you can.” He sighed, knowing it was too much to ask from James, especially at that moment, but he


    was at the end of his wit. He wasn’t worried about Jenny because he had everything arranged at


    Walter Inc.


    Even if someone wanted to sabotage thepany, he believed that Jenny could handle the challenge.


    The same could not be said for Jolene. He sensed that the

    Windsors would call off the engagement soon, which was not surprising, but he hoped that James


    could show mercy to her after the failed engagement. He still cared a lot about Jolene because she


    was his daughter.


    The mood became somber. James stared at Graham in silence.


    On the other hand, the blond man burst outughing. He squatted and held James by the chin. “Who


    told you I’d consider your suggestion? Why are you discussing who’d leave first when I have not given


    you the green light?”


    “You…”


    “Cut the nonsense. Pay up or die.’ He let go of James and shot him an icy look without giving him a


    chance to speak. Then, he dropped a phone in front of them. ’Call your family. You should know what to


    say to them,” he said before drawing out a gun and sitting in front of them.


    Seeing that, James exchanged looks with Graham and finally picked up the phone. He called Jenny


    instead of the Windsor Vindline.


    Jenny’s first reaction to unknown calls was usually to slide and decline. She was putting all her effort


    into tracking the car that Graham and James were in and was in no mood to take any calls. However,


    she picked up the iing call without thinking since she had a gut feeling it was important.


    “Who’s this?” she asked, voice trembling.


    “It’s me.”


    Her eyes widened in shock and joy when she heard James’ voice. “James, where are you and Dad?


    Are you both safe?” She was dying to get more details, but at the same time, she scribbled something


    on the notepad and handed it to Neil, who was right beside her.


    The note read: “Track this number down.”


    Neil nced at the note and sprung into action without hesitation.
