Chapter 1905 Chapter 1905 Susan's life had been a series of misfortunes, and now she was resorting to such drastic measures for scash! The more she thought about it, the more she felt a bitter resentment growing inside her. Her chest heaving with emotion, she blurted out, "I don't care if it's you or Joshua who givesthe 200 million, I'll put the kid down right now. You can take him away! Otherwise, forget about it!" Lysander knew Susan all too well. If she got what she wanted, she would only escalate her demands and certainly wouldn't release her leverage so easily. Human greed knows no bounds, and Susan was a prexample of this. Hadn't she once held a knife to Thalassa's throat, demanding money from Callum in a similar situation? Lysander glanced at his watch, unfazed, and said, "What do you need 200 million for? That amount would last you a lifetfor ordinary living, but if you're prone to luxury, even 200 million wouldn't suffice." "I have my reasons for needing the 200 million, and it's none of your business. Just get the money ready. Once it's ready, I'll release the hostage," Susan said, her breaths short, eyes darting suspiciously at Lysander.

"What about next time, Susan? Don't you realize how insatiable your appetite is?" Lysander said calmly, adjusting his cufflinks leisurely.

"I told you, there won't be a next time. After I give you the child, what leverage would I have for another demand?" Susan said, desperate to prove her point.

"And if we give you the money and you still decide to drop the child?" Lysander countered.

"That's absurd! That would makea murderer. What good is money if I'm not alive to spend it?" Susan replied anxiously.

"So, if we don't give you the money, both you and the child would die, is that it? If you're prepared to die, why cling to the 200 million? Wouldn't losing your life over it be an even greater loss?" Lysander analyzed the situation for her.

Susan was no match for Lysander. Just when she thought she knew what she wanted, Lysander's words plunged her into self-doubt. She had gone through all this trouble, sitting on the windowsill with the child, threatening not just the child's life but her own as well.

If Joshua fell for it, she could get the 200 million, but then the child would be Joshua's leaving her with nothing but the money. If Joshua didn't fall for it and was persuaded by Reginald to let her jump, solving two problems at once without any liability on their part, how perfect that would be for them. And she would have lost her life for nothing, taking her only child down with her.

As she hesitated, she noticed people below setting up an air cushion, quickly inflating it and positioning it directly beneath her. Meaning, even if she jumped with the child, the cushion would catch them, preventing any fatal injury. Her threat to Joshua instantly turned into a farce.

She realized then that all Lysander had been doing was buying time, waiting for rescue services to deploy the air cushion! Susan knew she had been outmaneuvered, but it was too late. She looked up, glaring at Lysander with fury, "Always you ruining my plans! Lysander, why didn't you just die in that wreckage three years ago!"

In her anger, Susan spoke without thinking. At her words, Lysander's eyes darkened, his voice dropping to alehilling whisper, "What did you say?"
