I Want a Billion
The way she spoke was so casual that it sounded as though it was not a big deal to her, but everyone
else was stunned. This room was on the eighth floor, and if Jojo was thrown out of here, she would
definitely fall to her death.
Meanwhile, Leanna’s men were very quick to drag Jojo to the side of the window. Then, they opened it
and lifted her until she was completely hanging above the window.
Terrified, Jojo shrieked, “No! I’ve learned my mistake! Please let me off! I won’t do it again! Someone,
please… Save me…”
Pinned to the floor, Norman and Paula were shaking from fear as they begged for mercy. “President
Sandel, please have some mercy and let her off! She’s still young! We’re sorry. Please, we’ll kneel
down to you…”
Both of them kept begging for a while, but Leanna ignored their pleas until Paula threatened, “Murder is
a crime! I-If anything should happen to my daughter, I-I’ll charge you in court!”
Bursting out in a chuckle, Leanna turned and cast her an indifferent look. “Charge me in court? Let me
tell you, to get to where I am now, at least eighty people have died, if not a hundred! Do you really think
you have what it takes to bring me to court?”
“President Sandel, please let her off. I’m begging you. I… I was wrong…” Paula stammered, and
everyone else started pleading for her as well.
Glaring at her, Leanna said, “You want to live? Sure, but you’ll have to pay for what she did the last time.
I’m not asking for much, just five million. Are you willing to pay up?”
With an ashen face, Paula bobbed her head frantically. “Yes, we’ll pay. We’ll definitely pay!”
Nodding in satisfaction, Leanne turned and was about to leave when she saw Sasha. And she feigned
surprise. “Oh, you’re here as well, President Cunningham? These people, are they your…”
“They’re my uncle and aunt. Jojo is my cousin,” Sasha answered.
“Really?” she gasped with a sparkle in her eyes. “Oh my, I didn’t expect that these people are related to
you. I’m sorry, but I’ve changed my mind. Five million won’t cut it. I want a billion now.”
Paula widened her eyes in shock. “W-What did you say? What makes you think that you can ask for a
billion?”
Casting a glance at Sasha, she answered, “For the fact that you’re relatives of President Cunningham!
She’ll help you guys out in this matter, right? After all, Cunningham Pharmaceuticals is worth billions. I
don’t think it’s too much if I ask for a billion, no?”
“Y-You guys didn’t even suffer any injuries!” Paula argued. “Why should we pay you? You might as well
rob a bank!”
Leanna chuckled in indifference. “Isn’t this as good as robbery? Hey shrew, listen carefully now. If you
guys are the ones paying, then it will be five million. However, if it’s the Cunninghams who are paying,
then it will be a billion. You, keep a good watch on them!” As soon as she finished, she left with her head
held high.
At the door when nobody was paying any attention, she suddenly winked at Matthew with a wicked smile
on her face.
Smirking, Matthew thought, Looks like Leanna really enjoys acting. Earlier tonight, he asked Bonds,
Joseph, and Leanna to put up this show on purpose.
The moment Leanna left, a deadly silence fell over the room. A long while passed and it was Heidi who
broke the silence. “Jojo… how did you manage to offend Leanna Sandel? I heard from my daughter that
she’s a really influential figure in Eastcliff. Even the combined assets of the Sandel Family may not be
more than hers. How did you offend such a big shot like her?”
Hanging her head, Jojo sobbed sadly instead of answering her.
Paula barked angrily, “Nobody offended her! That b*tch—”
All of a sudden, she stopped herself and sealed her lips when she caught sight of the man Leanna had
left behind.
