Chapter 234 Negotiate the Price
Although Helena had her eyes covered, she felt as if everyone’s gaze was focused on her face. From NôvelDrama.Org.
She desperately pleaded for help, “Nolan, Dad, save me! Please save me. I don’t want to die.“!
Peyton was not feeling well. She had skipped breakfast and her stomach had been hurting for a while. Her forehead was covered in beads of sweat, and the sea breeze made it even colder and more piercing.
Peyton did not have the same energy as Helena to seek help, and the rope wrapped around her waist was choking her, making it difficult for her to breathe.
Peyton knew that whether she asked for help or not, the outcome would be the same. Since Nolan had chosen Helena a year ago, he would not choose Peyton a year later.
Just this time, Peyton wouldn’t be so foolish anymore. She wouldn’t wait for an answer that would never come.
There is no disappointment without hope.
When Peyton was feeling disheartened and calculating her chances of escape, she heard a noisy sound.
Originally, the sound from the banquet scene was synchronized.
Among them, Colette’s crying was particularly noticeable. “Helena, Peytie, are you both okay?”
Peyton’s calm eyes slowly opened. Despite having a black cloth
covering her face, she still made an effort to look towards the direction where the sound was coming from.
Helena heard the voice and tears streamed down her face in
excitement, “Mom, please save me!”
“Helena, don’t worry. Your father will definitely save you.”
Peyton had a terrible stomachache and her lips were a bit chapped. She licked her lips but didn’t say a word.
Compared to Nolan’s choice, Peyton found that she cared more about Colette’s decision.
After all, Colette was her biological mother. Peyton touched her teddy bear watch and felt uneasy.
Just like students waiting for their college entrance exam results, Peyton felt indescribable uneasiness and nervousness.
Peyton thought, “Even though Colette abandoned me for so many years, she was just Helena’s stepmother.”
One is her biological daughter, and the other is her stepdaughter. Will she choose me?
The answer was obvious, but Peyton was so nervous that even their breath seemed to freeze.
Colette trembled and said, “I beg you. Spare my two daughters. They have no grievances with you. If it’s about money, we can give you whatever amount you want. As long as you don’t harm them, we are willing to sacrifice anything.”
The tearful voice touched Peyton. Colette had never experienced any storms in her life, and Peyton was afraid that she would be scared.
Colette had a weak heart. Peyton was worried that she would faint.
Peyton didn’t realize that she had always been considering Colette.
Nolan also spoke, “What do you really want?”
At this moment, Nolan felt uneasy. He thought, “Could it be those people?”
If it were them, Peyton and Helena wouldn’t be able to come back today. They might even end up dead.
Nowadays, live streaming across the entire internet is in line with the usual practices of those people.
They were best at creating such a big commotion, insulting, tormenting, and dismembering in front of everyone.
Nolan had experienced countless storms throughout his life, but he found himself trembling despite being usually calm.
Every finger of Nolan’s was trembling uncontrollably.
Nolan had witnessed many people’s deaths and had even contemplated having a terrible ending one day.
But Nolan didn’t want to bring this misfortune to his closest loved one.
It took him many years to establish a legitimate business.
It was not easy to have today’s Nolan. He didn’t know which link was exposed.
Did going to the sea island last time attract someone’s attention?
Worrying about these things was already in vain. Nolan didn’t even dare to show a hint of concern.
Amidst the chaotic guests, Nolan stood with his hands behind his back, his expression indifferent as he said, “As long as you release them, you can negotiate freely.”
