---- masked man raised the electric baton and slammed it down on Jason's leg again. Jason screamed and writhed on the floor in pain. At that point, I was getting pretty annoyed. I scratched my ear and said, "I said, I am done with that man. Do whatever you want with him. "so million dollars for someone like him? It's not worth it!" Hannah's eyes widened as she stared at me in disbelief. She said in a trembling voice, "Clara, are you crazy?! Jason... is going to die! How can you say that?!" I looked at her in disdain and said, "It doesn't matter to me whether he lives or dies. You seem upset. Why don't you go to Melvaris and pay the ransom to save him?" Hannah's face turned pale. She was speechless. The masked man on the other end of the video ---- froze for a moment. He looked up and then down at Jason. He asked in confusion, "Isn't he your boyfriend?" He hit Jason with his electric baton again and yelled viciously, "I suggest you don't try any tricks! 30 million dollars and that's it! No more room for negotiation! You have three days to deliver it! If not, '1 kill him!" Jason's face was covered in blood. He screamed, and his face twisted in pain. Despite the agony, he still managed to cry out, "Clara! I know what you're doing! You' re trying to lower the ransom price! He agreed! Just send the money quickly! "Tt's just 30 million! Isn't that easy for you? "We were supposed to get married after the New Year! I'll take care of you for the rest of my life!" I sneered. I might have believed him if I had not experienced his betrayal before. ---- I said in contempt, "You want to marry me? DoI look like some kind of cheap woman? You think I'll give you 30 million and then marry you?" Jason tried to say something, but I ruthlessly cut him off. "International video calls are expensive. Id rather not spend a single cent on you. Goodbye." I paused briefly, then added casually, "By the way, Jason, I've suddenly realized that you seem very devious. You don't deserve me at all. We're over!" Without waiting for a response, I ended the video call.
