He found himself with only two options. One involved murder, thereby eliminating any looming trouble.

Zeke had kidnapped Sabrina and handed her to him. Their transactions were conducted in cash, leaving no evidence for the police to trace.

However, if he decided to kill Sabrina, it meant squandering his time and handing over twenty thousand dollars to Zeke for nothing. He didn't want to accept this.

The alternative option was to seek money from Sabrina's family and promptly depart as soon as he received the payment.

Despite his decision, the stout man remained cautious.

“Is your family truly that wealthy? Can you casually produce a million? What's your name?"

The stout man was in the dark about Sabrina's identity. Zeke was afraid that the stout man wouldn't dare to sell Sabrina off to the remote areas if Sabrina's identity was revealed. So, instead of telling the stout man who Sabrina was or the grudge he held against her, Zeke only said that he had not eaten for a long time and saw Sabrina on the road, walking alone. Therefore, he kidnapped her because he was desperate.

Desperate people were capable of anything.

The stout man could tell from Zeke's shifty expression that Zeke was hiding from the police, so the stout man didn't doubt Zeke's words at all.

However, Sabrina couldn't tell the stout man her true name.

The reason the stout man asked her name was only because he wanted to verify whether she was from a wealthy family.

If the stout man happened to find out about Tyrone during his search and discovered what kind of man Tyrone was, the stout man might decide to cut his losses and just kill her.

After all, Tyrone had been in a similar situation before. Someone had threatened him with Galilea, but Tyrone didn't bow to pressure and just called the police.

After a pause, Sabrina said in a cold voice, "The overcoat on me is worth three thousand. If you don't believe me, you can take it to the second-hand market and ask about it. Besides, my name is Bettie, and my father is Corless. He runs a clothing company called Trang Clothing. You can check it out."

She had no other choice but to use Bettie's name. Bettie's family was rich and lived a carefree life, but she was not in the public eye like Tyrone.

In a twist of fate, Sabrina was glad that Zeke had taken her bag with him. Her ID card was in it, and if this stout man saw it, her lie would be exposed.

"Bettie..." the stout man repeated, a frown on his face. He glanced at her and declared, "Wait here for a moment."

He strode out of the room and locked the door behind him. He told his subordinate who was standing a few paces away from the door about what Sabrina said.

The subordinate became excited when he heard about that amount of money.

“I think they will definitely be able to pay a lot more than one million."
