To Be Yours Again novel (Jenny and Alex) novel Chapter 786

James wanted to chat with Jenny, but the blond man was aiming the gun at him. His intention was obvious; he didn't want James to waste time. James said, "They told me they'll only let us go if we pay 300 million dollars each."

"Tell him that's not a problem, but we will do the exchange in person," Jenny replied.

The blond man heard her answer through speaker mode and said, "Wire the money. I will text you the account later. Remember, Miss Walter, you don't have a choice now."

Hearing that, she bit her lips, struggling to keep her composure. "Okay. But I need to talk to my dad. I need to make sure he's safe." Knowing that Graham was shot in the thigh, she'd be worried if she couldn't verify that he was safe.

The blond man was happy to oblige her at the thought of the incoming 600 million dollars. James handed the phone to Graham. Graham took the call and assured her, "Jenny, I'm fine."

"Dad, don't worry. I'll get you out," she comforted him and added, "Is everything okay over there?"

"It's okay, but I feel sick from the smell of wood in the air. You know I have rhinitis. It's quite uncomfortable for me," he answered.

She got the hint and said, "Just hang on for a little bit more. I'm calling up some connections and gathering the money."

"Sure. I trust you. Don't be too sad if anything happens to me, though. I'm happy as long as you're safe." Graham did not carry much hope at this point. He knew the mercenaries might not release him and James even if the ransom was paid. He wasn't too bothered about his safety but felt sorry for James, who had many years ahead of him. Graham made it his mission to get James out no matter what.

The blond man was surprised when Graham handed him the phone. He took it and scoffed, "Miss Walter, I don't know you well. What is it that you want to talk about?"

"You're Kevin, right? I have nothing much to talk to you about. Just one question; have you ever thought about how you're leaving Clusia after creating this huge mess?" Jenny announced his name out loud. Since her last encounter with them, she had looked into the background of the mercenaries and got hold of Kevin's name.

The blond man frowned. "Are you threatening me now?"

"Well, it's not exactly a threat. Just a friendly reminder." She sounded hostile. Then, she suggested, "If you keep my dad and James safe, I can help you out." Kevin was silent. She added, "Even if you receive the money, you can't leave Clusia. What's the point of it all?"
