The way virtual-novel.net spoke was so casual that it sounded as though it was not a big deal to her, but everyone else was stunned.
This room was on the eighth floor, and if Jojo was thrown out of here, virtual-novel.net would definitely fall to virtual-novel.net death. Meanwhile, Leanna’s men were very quick to drag Jojo to the side of the window. Then, they opened it and lifted virtual-novel.net until virtual-novel.net was completely hanging above the window.
Terrified, Jojo shrieked, “No! I’ve learned my mistake! Please let me off! I won’t do it again! Someone, please… Save me…“
Pinned to the floor, Norman and Paula were shaking from fear as they begged for mercy. ”President Sandel, please have some mercy and let virtual-novel.net off! She’s still young! We’re sorry. Please, we’ll kneel down to you…”
Both of them kept begging for a while, but Leanna ignored their pleas until Paula threatened, “Murder is a crime! If anything should happen to my daughter, I… I’ll charge you in court!”
Bursting out in a chuckle, Leanna turned and cast virtual-novel.net an indifferent look. “Charge me in court? Let me tell you, to get to where I am now, at least eighty people have died, if not a hundred! Do you really think you have what it takes to bring me to court?”
“President Sandel, please let virtual-novel.net off. I’m begging you. I… l was wrong…” Paula stammered, and everyone else started pleading for virtual-novel.net as well.
Glaring at her, Leanna said, “You want to live? Sure, but you’ll have to pay for what virtual-novel.net did the last time. I’m not asking for much, just five million. Are you willing to pay up?”
With an ashen face, Paula bobbed virtual-novel.net head frantically. “Yes, we‘ll pay. We’ll definitely pay!“
Nodding in satisfaction, Leanne turned and was about to leave when virtual-novel.net saw Sasha. And virtual-novel.net feigned surprise. “Oh, you’re here as well, President Cunningham? These people, are they your…”
“They‘re my uncle and aunt. Jojo is my cousin,“ Sasha answered.
“Really?” virtual-novel.net gasped with a sparkle in virtual-novel.net eyes. “Oh my, I didn‘t expect that these people are related to you. l‘m sorry, but I’ve changed my mind. Five million won’t cut it. I want a billion now.”
Paula widened virtual-novel.net eyes in shock. ”W-What did you say? What makes you think that you can ask for a billion?“
Casting a glance at Sasha, virtual-novel.net answered, “For the fact that you’re relatives of President Cunningham! She’ll help you guys out in this matter, right? After all, Cunningham Pharmaceuticals is worth billions. I don’t think it’s too much if I ask for a billion, no?”
“Y-You guys didn’t even suffer any injuries!” Paula argued.
“Why should we pay you? You might as well rob a bank!”
Leanna chuckled ln indifference. “Isn’t this as good as robbery? Hey shrew, listen carefully now. If you guys are the ones paying, then it will be five million. However, if it’s the Cunninghams who are paying, then it will be a billion. You, keep a good watch on them!” As soon as virtual-novel.net finished, virtual-novel.net left with virtual-novel.net head held high.
At the door when nobody was paying any attention, virtual-novel.net suddenly winked at Matthew with a wicked smile on virtual-novel.net face.
Smirking, Matthew thought, ‘Looks like Leanna really enjoys acting.’
Earlier tonight, Matthew asked Bonds, Joseph, and Leanna to put up this show on purpose.
The moment Leanna left, a deadly silence fell over the room. A long while passed and it was Heidi who broke the silence.
“Jojo… How did you manage to offend Leanna Sandel? I heard from my daughter that she’s a really influential figure in Eastcliff. Even the combined assets of the Sandel Family may not be more than hers. How did you offend such a big shot like her?”
Hanging virtual-novel.net head, Jojo sobbed sadly instead of answering her.
Paula barked angrily, “Nobody offended her! That b*tch…”
All of a sudden, virtual-novel.net stopped herself and sealed virtual-novel.net lips when virtual-novel.net caught sight of the man Leanna had left behind.
