Chapter 861
Alexander spoke calmly, "Got any other options now? You either trust me and let Quinn go, and everyone stays safe, or if you hurt her, there's no turning back." Ernest wavered, his mind racing with indecision.
Alexander stood quietly, waiting for Ernest to decide.
The car lights behind him were blinding, casting light from both sides. Though he blocked most of it, the remaining light made it hard for Quinn to keep her eyes open. She couldn't see Alexander's expression clearly.
But Alexander could see both her and Ernest perfectly.
Ernest asked again, "Will you really let me go?"
"I don't want to repeat myself. Have you made up your mind?" Alexander pressed.
Ernest hesitated. Just as he was unsure, a masked companion whispered in his ear, "Don't trust him. Alexander is ruthless and vengeful. If you let her go, we'll all die here."
Ernest's face changed, and he looked sharply at Alexander.
"Are you lying to me?"
Alexander squinted, his gaze sweeping over the masked man.
"So you refuse to negotiate?"
Ernest sneered. "I don't believe you unless you bring me a million dollars in cash right now!"
"Ernest, are you really going to be so stubborn?"
"Stop talking nonsense. Bring the money, or there's nothing to discuss." Ernest became firm.
He grabbed Quinn. "Get in the car."
He shoved Quinn back into the car and watched Alexander warily as he got in.
"Alexander, you'd better come with the money alone. Since I'm going to be retaliated against anyway, I don't mind taking your wife down with me!" Ernest warned.
The group got into the car, which slowly started and soon disappeared from Alexander's sight.
Kyle quickly stepped forward, worried. "Mr. Kennedy, what do we do now?"
Alexander stared straight at the end of the road. Only when the car's taillights completely vanished did he look away.
"Go get the money."
Kyle hesitated, "Mr. Kennedy, if we get the money, they'll definitely use Quinn as a hostage to escape."
'What if Ernest, being ruthless, kills Quinn after they get away?' Kyle thought.
"I said, go get the money." Alexander turned his head to look at him. His gaze scared Kyle.

Alexander got into the car, lit a cigarette, and leaned against the window, feeling irritated.
About ten minutes later, Kyle returned to the car and said, "I've given the order. Sean will bring the money in about forty minutes."
"Also, Orion and Abigail fell into the river under the overpass. The William family and the Vanderbilt family have been calling me, asking what happened." Alexander flicked the ash from his cigarette out the window, asking, "Are they dead?"
Kyle wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. "They probably won't die, right?"
He analyzed, "When they were hit, Ernest's car was also driving at high speed, so the impact wasn't that great. It's just that the height of the fall is a bit dangerous." Kyle calculated the height and concluded that the impact from the fall should be significant.
Alexander remained silent, staring at the dark asphalt road ahead, lost in thought.
Kyle continued, "But you don't need to worry. Mr. Vanderbilt has already sent people to look for them. They will definitely be safe."
