If N died, not only would Lucia refuse to pay him, but she might also turn on him and use him of murder.


    Keh had no power or influence, and with Mabel in jail, there was no way he could fight against Lucia. Keeping N alive was more advantageous for him now.


    “Are you crazy? rk Sumner might already know we’ve kidnapped her. The longer we wait, the worse it gets for us!” Lucia yelled.


    “As soon as I see the money, you can kill her. I won’t care,” he replied.


    Lucia was furious. “It’s the middle of the night. How can I transfer money now? We’ll have to wait until the bank opens in the morning!”


    Keh was just as useless as his daughter, Mabel, always messing things up. Even if she could transfer the money, she would have to use an overseas ount to avoid detection.


    “I don’t care. I just want the money,” he insisted.


    As they argued, a distant light grew closer.


    Lucia was appalled and ordered, “Hurry! Take her to the rooftop!”


    Realizing the urgency, Keh stopped arguing and quickly dragged N upstairs.


    Soon, they reached the top floor.


    Despite being the “rooftop“, the abandoned hotel only had five stories. From their vantage point, they could see a convoy of cars speeding toward them.


    Their kidnapping attempt had been exposed!


    Lucia thought that she wouldn’t lose as long as she had N, even if


    *OR DOW


    rk arrived so quickly.


    “Give her to me!” Lucia demanded, but Keh didn’t move.


    “Lucia, you ordered me to kidnap her. Transfer the promised 700,000 dors to my ount now, or I won’t hand her over!” he demanded.


    Lucia nced at the edge of the rooftop, just a few steps behind Keh. She tightened her grip on the knife, her gaze cold. Since Keh wouldn’t cooperate, there was no use keeping him around.


    Taking a deep breath, she said slowly, “Fine. I’ll transfer the money now.”


    She pulled out her phone and pretended to make the transaction. After a few seconds, she looked at Keh. “It’s done. Check your ount.”


    Hearing the notification, Keh released N, who copsed to the ground.


    As he checked his phone, Lucia suddenly rushed at him. “Die!”


    Keh sensed the danger toote. He stumbled back, stepped off the edge, and fell from the rooftop.


    The sound of his body hitting the cement was dull and heavy.


    Damon had just exited his car when he saw a figure plummet from above. He hurried toward the twitching body on the ground, his hands clenching unconsciously and his expression tense as a wave of panic washed over him.


    Realizing it wasn’t N, he sighed in relief but noticed his palms were sweaty.


    Spencer caught up to him, nced at the body, and said, “Mr. Sumner, that’s Keh O’Neill. Ms. Jayston should be upstairs.”


    Without a word, Damon turned and rushed into the hotel.N?velDrama.Org: owner of this content.


    Meanwhile, on the rooftop.


    Lucia’s expression turned maniacal after pushing Keh down. She knew there was no turning back now.


    Seeing N regaining consciousness and crawling toward the stairs, Lucia smiled, slowly walked over, and crouched beside her. “N, who would have thought you’d end up like this?”


    She wasn’t in a hurry to kill N anymore. She wanted to torment her first, repaying all the humiliation she had endured.


    “Where should I start? Maybe your hand?” she wondered aloud.


    With that, Lucia raised the knife and plunged it into the back of N’s hand.
