Chapter 490:
“Do you truly mean that p>
When Colden heard the staggering sum of five hundred thousand, his fierce glare melted into a ravenous gleam, like a wolf catching the scent of prey.
Amelia, quick to seize the moment, said, “Hand me my phone, and I’ll transfer the money to you right now p>
The trio’s phones had been snatched by their captors the moment they were forced into the car.
Colden, perched in the passenger seat, didn’t immediately comply. His eyes narrowed, glinting with menace as he said, “Don’t even think about pulling a fast one on me, or I’ll make you regret it p>
With a reluctant nod, he fished Amelia’s phone from his pocket.
Brady, the driver, caught the exchange and shifted uneasily. “Colden, if Kylo gets wind of this p>
Colden cut him off with a sly grin. “If you keep your mouth shut, who’s gonna spill the beans to him p>
Brady opened his mouth to argue but, seeing the look in Colden’s eyes, thought better of it and fell silent.

Powering on the phone, Colden handed it to Amelia, his gaze locked on her like a hawk.
Within a minute, his phone pinged with a notification.
Colden’s fingers trembled with barely contained excitement as he checked the transfer, his face lighting up.
“Send another five hundred thousand,” he said, his voice thick with greed.
At that, Weldon and Nora exchanged glances, their tempers flaring. But Amelia gave them a gentle nudge, her eyes reminding them to calm down. Swallowing their rage, they lowered their heads, biting their tongues.
Amelia, playing the obedient captive, transferred another half million to Colden’s account.
But when Colden demanded a third payment, Amelia refused him.
Seeing Colden’s expression darken, Amelia quickly explained, “It’s not that I refuse to do it, but the card’s daily limit caps at a million p>
To prove her point, Amelia walked Colden through the transaction process again, her fingers steady despite the tension. When the app confirmed that the daily transfer limit had been reached and the transaction could go no further, Colden finally believed her.
Snatching the phone back, he powered it off.
Just then, a thought flickered across his mind, and his eyes landed on Nora and Weldon. The thrill of pocketing such a fortune in mere minutes flushed his cheeks with exhilaration.
Amelia, ever observant, caught the glint in Colden’s eyes. Softly, she said, “Colden, you’re in this for the money, right? Why not name your price, and we can talk about setting us free p>
“No amount of money will make me release you,” Colden said.
Still, he was in a good mood after receiving the money, so he explained, “This job came straight from Kylo’s orders. I can’t go against his command p>
With that, Colden turned to stare out the window, his mind already elsewhere.
Amelia racked her brain, trying to place this mysterious “Kylo,” but the name remained a stubborn puzzle.
