Martin rejected coldly. “Mr. Graham is taking care of Nina right now and has no time to take calls. You may contact him later.”
The refusal made Ryan’s blood boil, but he couldn’t lose his temper with Martin!
Martin had been William’s right-hand man since they were young.
William trusted him completely, and Martin was fiercely loyal.
Ryan could only reply, “Fine, I understand. I’ll call William later. How’s Nina doing?”
“She just fell asleep.”
Martin wasn’t a man of many words, and he had zero in erest in chatting with Ryan.
Ryan had nothing left to say and hung up.
The second the call ended, his scalp started prickling with dread.
Under the pressure of two menacing stares, he forced the words out. “I already got you to talk to William. You’re the ones who failed to convince him.”
It was the truth, but the truth earned him a fist in the gu
“He turned us down because you don’t carry enough weight.”
The two men dumped all the blame on Ryan.
Seeing that William couldn’t be bought, they turned their full attention to Ryan.

“Tsk. You think we’re beggars?”
The men wouldn’t budge from the five hundred million figure. Only when they saw Ryan breaking down did one of them offer a second option.
“Can’t come up with five hundred million? There’s another way.

Chapter 150 Five Hundred Million or One Life
“Yup. It’s scared of you.” Benjamin carried her toward the house. “Stop trying to play with it.”
The Graham family had two dogs, and neither of them was brave around Nina.
“Daddy… play together!”
“It doesn’t want to play with you,” Benjamin replied.
They were still talking when Amelia heard the noise and hurried over.
“Nina! You’re back?” she said.
Amelia came with a warm smile, but the moment she saw Nina’s puffy, red eyes, the smile vanished.
“What happened to Nina’s eyes?” She reached out and took Nina into her arms.
She still had a healing neck and shouldn’t lift heavy things, but she didn’t care.
