Chapter 268 We're Here for Ryder!

Ryder replied, "I'd love to give you money and the villa, but I'm tied up, and my phone got soaked. How am I supposed to give you anything?"

Virgil said coldly, "I don't care how you do it. If you can't hand over Villa No. 1 and eighty million dollars in cash, I'll cut you up piece by piece and throw you into the lake to feed the fish!"

After he said that, his stomach rumbled!

"Let me finish my meal first, then I'll deal with you. You had better think of a solution before I come back!"

With that, Virgil arrogantly walked out of the cabin and shut the door!

As soon as Virgil left, Barbara sneered, "Still pretending to be rich at this point. Let's see how he deals with you after his meal."

Ryder replied, "Do you think they'll let you go after dealing with me?"

"Of course," Barbara answered as if it were a matter of course, "I've already handed over the platinum card. Once they confirm the eighty thousand dollars in it, they'll definitely let me go! Then you'll be left here alone, and no one will bother Sarah anymore!"

Hearing this, Ryder sneered. "You're really naive! To be honest, from what I know about Sawyer, once he gets the eighty thousand dollars, he'll only become greedier! He won't just let you go. He'll threaten Sandra for more money. Even if he can't get money from Sandra, he'll squeeze benefits out of you. Just selling your body alone could make him some money."

Barbara was scared and nervously said, "Don't lie to me! Don't think everyone is as shameless and untrustworthy as you!"

Ryder's lips curled into a cold smile. "I'm a man, and you're a woman. If things go south, you'll definitely suffer more than I will! Just wait and see!"

After saying that, Ryder started humming a little tune as if nothing had happened!

Seeing this, Barbara began to waver internally!

What if Ryder was telling the truth? What should she do?

Although she had wanted to die last night, that was because she was drunk!

Now Barbara didn't want to die, and she certainly didn't want to suffer humiliation and die at Sawyer's hands!

After much internal struggle, Barbara finally whispered, "So what do you mean? Are you just giving up?"

Ryder turned his head. "From what you just said, it sounds like you want to live."

Barbara rolled her eyes at Ryder and whispered, "Of course! If you can live, no one wants to die so early."

Ryder shook his head with a bitter smile.

Last night, Barbara was making a fuss and clamored to commit suicide!

Now she wanted to live!

Women really did change their minds quickly!

But Ryder didn't expose her, and he seriously suggested, "I have an idea that might help us escape! Of course, if the plan fails, we could end up dead with no burial place!"

Barbara curiously asked, "What's the plan?"

Ryder tried to move his body closer to her. "It's simple! You use your mouth to bite off the ropes on me. Once we're both free, we break the window and escape!"

Barbara glared at him. "No way! The ropes are filthy. I'm not biting them! Besides, why don't you bite off my ropes?"

Ryder nodded. "No problem! But if you think it's easier for me to bite your ropes, I can do it right now!"

Barbara couldn't help but blush as she looked down because the rope knot on her body was just at the front of her chest.

If Ryder leaned in to bite it off, he would inevitably touch her chest.

Thinking about this made Barbara feel extremely uncomfortable!

So she finally had no choice but to say reluctantly, "Fine! I'll bite it off! But I'll hate you for the rest of my life!"

With that, Barbara lowered her head and started biting the ropes on Ryder's body!

Five whole minutes passed!

Just as the ropes were about to be bitten through, suddenly, footsteps sounded outside the door!

Immediately after, the cabin door was pushed open!

Virgil walked in with a bucket of instant pasta. He took a bite and laughed loudly. "I almost forgot this. Sawyer told me to keep a close eye on you before he left. I can't let my guard down just because I'm eating!"

Ryder and Barbara both felt a sinking feeling in their hearts!

They were so close to succeeding, but they didn't expect Virgil to come back so soon!

Although their escape attempt hadn't been discovered, with Virgil watching them here, they couldn't continue with their plan!

After finishing his beef pasta, Virgil patted his stomach and said, "Now that I'm full, I can continue the interrogation. I need to get this done before Sawyer gets back!"

Virgil stood up and walked towards Ryder!

As Virgil was getting closer and closer, he would definitely be able to see the rope loosening on Ryder's body.

At the critical moment!

A voice suddenly shouted from outside, "Come out and take a look. A suspicious black Santana is driving up!"

"What?" Virgil's expression changed slightly, and he quickly turned and left the cabin!

He shut the door!

Inside the cabin!

Ryder and Barbara both breathed a sigh of relief.

Immediately, they took the opportunity to continue their previous activity.

In the yard!

Virgil, with one of his men, looked cautiously in the direction of the commotion!

A black Santana slowly drove up to the gate of the yard!

It stopped!

Then, three people got out one after another!

The leader was a bald man wearing sunglasses!

This man was Orlando, who had been commissioned by Matthew to track down Ryder!

Seeing Orlando and his two companions, Virgil frowned and shouted warily, "What are you three doing here?"

Orlando took off his sunglasses and wiped them with his sleeve.

He flashed a white-toothed smile and said, "No need to be nervous, bro. We're just here to find someone!"

Virgil waved dismissively. "This isn't a police station. If you're looking for someone, go there. Don't bother us!"

Orlando stood still and put his sunglasses back on. "I won't waste my breath. We're looking for a man named Ryder, who should be in your hands! Hand him over, or you'll be in a lot of trouble. It's not worth it!"

A flash of caution appeared in Virgil's eyes!

He thought, 'Could these people be Ryder's friends? They're here to rescue him?'

No way!

So Virgil responded, "I've never heard of Ryder. You should look elsewhere!"

"I can look elsewhere, but before we leave, let us search inside," Orlando slightly raised his head and said.

At this point, the man next to Virgil couldn't retain composure any longer.

He stepped forward and pointed at Orlando and his companions, shouting, "We said we don't know him! Are you deaf? Get lost!"

As soon as the yellow-haired man finished speaking, Orlando took a step forward without warning. A knife appeared from his sleeve. He gripped it tightly in his hand!

He quickly thrust it out!

In the next moment, the entire knife was plunged into the yellow-haired man's chest!

The yellow-haired man's body twitched twice before collapsing to the ground, motionless.
