Marriage Beyond Redemption

Chapter 104 He Was The Richest Man, He Couldn’t Possibly Not Be Able To Come Up With Two Hundred Thousand Dollars.
“That won’t do.” Rene immediately continued, “We still have to keep him to demand ransom.”
After finishing speaking, Eric hit him on the head again, saying, “How can you not keep anything secret?”
Peyton never expected someone to be so bold as to dare to threaten Nolan for ransom.
It is estimated that before they could deliver the letter, Nolan’s men had already found and captured all of them.
“How much do you plan to have?” Peyton further inquired.
Eric said, “With all his wealth, he must give us at least a 150 thousand dollars.”
Peyton looked at him in disbelief, “One million?”
Just for one million, did they take such a risk? Nolan probably thought they were mocking him.
Eric suddenly felt a bit insecure when she looked at him like that. “Wasn’t he supposed to be very wealthy? Can’t he even come
up with two hundred thousand dollars? Or... one hundred thousand dollars will do.”
Peyton rubbed his forehead, wondering what had caused him to feel sympathy for the robber for the first time.
If they had only asked for one hundred thousand dollars, Nolan would probably have considered leaving them with their lives.
However, upon seeing the ransom demand of one hundred thousand dollars, he decided to throw them to the sharks.

Seeing Peyton not speaking, Rene weakly spoke up, “So, you don’t have one hundred thousand dollars, right? But you must
have thirty thousand dollars, right?”
Peyton sighed helplessly as he heard their demands decreasing again and again.
“Oh my god, bro, I heard before that these wealthy people all appear to be rich on the surface, but actually owe a lot of money to
the bank. Could it be possible that Nolan is a broke guy? Then if we kidnap his child, wouldn’t we be at a loss?”
Peyton couldn’t cry anymore and sincerely advised, “Well... maybe you should try increasing the ransom a bit, otherwise I’m
afraid Nolan might think you’re intentionally insulting him.”

Eric showed three fingers and said, “Then let’s make it 300 thousand dollars, isn’t that a bit greedy?”
Peyton clutched his chest, dear God, where on earth did these kidnappers come from?
“Plus!”
“Eight hundred thousand dollars.”
“Bravely add above zero.”
“8 million dollars? Oh my goodness,” Eric could barely stand as he uttered these words.
“Eighty million dollars.”
As Peyton uttered these two words, Rene plopped down on the ground, “Dude, 80 million dollars, how much is that? Is it more
than all the grass in the mountains combined?”

“Sister, were you playing with us?”
Peyton was somewhat resentful and said, “Do you know how much money they spent on the fireworks last night?”
Eric thought carefully and said, “I watched those beautiful fireworks for a long time. It’s a pity that I couldn’t take them home.
Otherwise, I could have shown them to Mrs. Manley and the others. Phillip bought me two firecrackers for one dollar before. A
fireworks display would cost at least 200 dollars.”
“Add another zero.”
“2 million dollars?” Eric also sat down next to Rene, his mouth wide open, and he didn’t close it for a long time.
Peyton also tested their limits, it was obvious that these two robbers were inexperienced and even a bit naive.
“I was curious, how did people like you become robbers in the first place?”
Eric exclaimed, “A while ago, when Phillip went ashore to buy supplies, he accidentally overheard that Ms. Chase had spent a lot
of money on her son’s first birthday party. We thought it would be a good opportunity to rob them. Coincidentally, they were
recruiting security guards for their cruise ship, so Phillip applied for the job.”

Peyton was incredulous; Lucian Bryant would never casually hire someone unfamiliar to work as a security personnel.
Peyton was shocked, “Did it go so smoothly and succeed?”
