Chapter 994


    Stephan hummed lightly.


    I looked at the door, and my eyes flickered. "Can you open the door then, Mr. Stephan?"


    Noticing that Stephan was moving, I looked at him and immediately broke out in a cold sweat.


    He had opened his eyes and was staring fixedly at me.


    I gulped and asked in a quivering voice, "Are you drunk, Mr. Stephan?"


    Stephan got up to his feet and said ndly, "Don''t infuriate Mr. Mn. He’s more frightening than


    you think."


    He turned around and left after saying that.


    I froze in ce, my mood extraordinarilyplicated.


    Looking at Stephan''s back, I said in a hoarse voice, "I just want to see how they''re doing."


    "They won''t die," the man said indifferently.


    I slumped to the ground, feeling like I was going to break down.


    Was there no other way to save them?


    What if I begged Mn?


    There was no better way, so I could only try my luck.


    I got up from the floor and ran to the kitchen.


    After running into the kitchen, I found a fruit knife and slit my wrist.


    This was not the first time I had harmed myself. It was nothing terrifying to me, so I did it without a


    single hesitation.


    I walked to the living room and fell to the floor slowly.


    Just as I was about to lose consciousness, I saw a servant rushing toward me in a hurry. I breathed


    a sigh of relief and closed my eyes.


    I woke up in a hospital and got to meet Mn as I had hoped.


    "You''re awake?” he asked with little emotion.


    Franky stood behind him and asked me ndly, "Why did you try to kill yourself?"


    I looked at Stephan, then at Mn, feeling a little dumbfounded.


    Did Stephan not tell Mn I had set him up?


    I looked at him with slightlyplicated eyes. I then asked Mn with a husky voice, "Sir, can I


    exchange m y life for theirs?"


    Mn sneered. "Use your life to exchange for four lives? Do you think you''re worth a lot of money?"


    I took a deep breath and asked, "Aren''t you curious


    about me and the Fredericks'' rtionship?"


    He raised his eyebrows. "Does that concern me?"


    u II


    It was too hard tomunicate with this man.


    I fell silent for a very long time and said, "Since the Fredericks are looking for me and you also


    intend to send me back, why don''t you just do me and the Fredericks a favor and let my friends go


    too?"


    Franky clicked his tongue. "You must''ve hit your head, huh, woman? How dare you talk to Mr. Mn


    about favors?”


    I ignored him and merely looked at Mn, waiting for his answer.


    Mn looked at me and asked, "What’s your rtionship with the Fredericks, then?"


    "It goes much deeper than you think.”


    This was aplete lie, but I could only say that. They revered the Fredericks, so the closer I was


    to the Fredericks, the more chances I had in bargaining and negotiating with him.

    Mn did not speak immediately, but after staring at me for a moment, he said, "The terms are


    mutual.”


    I was a little stunned, then grew serious. "What do you want?"
