Chapter 1584
[ 607 words ]
“Don’t forget, you still haven’t gotten your final payout!”
Reese didn’t dare go head-to-head with Zane right now, but she had absolutely zero qualms about bullying Zachary.
Zachary, driven entirely by greed, turned a pleading look to his former neighbor.
“Zane, come on, I just want to get to Sundara with them. Help me out here.”
He sounded pathetic, lacking any real conviction as he begged.
Zane glared at his distant cousin as if looking at an absolute moron. “Are you brain- dead?”
“Running to Sundara right now is worse than going to prison!” Did he think Sundara was some kind of paradise?
Even if he avoided jail, couldn’t he just take the pass and lay low in Southeast Asia for a while?
Why insist on going to Sundara to make himself miserable?
In Zane’s eyes, Sundara was a terrible place to end up.
Setting aside their environmental controversies, the sheer cost of living there would crush a normal person.
Did a coward like Zachary really think he was going to thrive over there? But seeing Zachary dead-set on fleeing to Sundara, Zane held his tongue. He thought he was pointing his old neighbor toward a solid backup plan. But who knew what kind of garbage was rattling around in the kid’s head?
“I don’t want to go to prison,” Zachary whined, genuinely terrified. “Zane, I’m too pretty for prison! I’m still a virgin!”
Zane stared at him, feeling a headache coming on. “What the hell does going to prison have to do with being a virgin?”
What on earth was his third uncle’s grandson thinking about all day?
“I don’t want to get bent over before I’ve even had a chance to enjoy myself,” Zachary finally stammered out.
Zane almost spat his tea right into the idiot’s face.
Was that supposed to be a joke?
“Zachary, I don’t give a damn if you go to prison or not.”
“You’re a wanted fugitive. You either leave right this second, or I call the cops and hand you over myself!”
Zane’s tone turned uncompromising, leaving zero room for negotiation.
Zachary looked completely bewildered. Zane couldn’t even be bothered to explain it to him.
They had rolled into town making a massive scene. The cops were definitely already tailing them.
If he didn’t force Zachary out right now, the kid wouldn’t be able to run even if he tried!
Zachary was dense enough that the reality of the situation completely soared over his head.

Seeing that Zachary couldn’t sway Zane, they realized escaping through this route was a lost cause.
“Fine, we won’t take Claire with us. But we’re the ones who captured her, so we’ll handle her ourselves!”
Reese took a step back.
She was absolutely not leaving their target in Zane’s hands.
She stared at the local boss with laser focus.
The man simply chuckled. “If Miss Reese has decided against leaving the country, that’s fine.”
“But we’ll still be handing over the goods.”
Four border passes. Not one missing.
“Please pay the remaining balance, Miss Reese.”
Zane was blatantly extorting her!
They couldn’t even use the route, yet he was demanding the rest of the cash. It was daylight robbery.
But surrounded by Zane’s armed men, could they really refuse and walk out alive?
Zane wasn’t exactly known for his gentle touch.
He might look refined, but the blood on his hands from his younger days told a different story.
Gritting her teeth, Reese transferred the funds.

Now, it wasn’t just Reese—even the silent driver looked ready to commit murder.
