Despite his decision, the stout man remained cautious.
“Is your family truly that wealthy? Can you casually produce a million? What’s your name?”
The stout man was in the dark about Sabrina’s identity. Zeke was afraid that the stout man wouldn’t dare to sell Sabrina off to the
remote areas if Sabrina’s identity was revealed. So, instead of telling the stout man who Sabrina was or the grudge he held
against her, Zeke only said that he had not eaten for a long time and saw Sabrina on the road, walking alone. Therefore, he
kidnapped her because he was desperate.
Desperate people were capable of anything.
The stout man could tell from Zeke’s shifty expression that Zeke was hiding from the police, so the stout man didn’t doubt Zeke’s
words at all.
However, Sabrina couldn’t tell the stout man her true name.
The reason the stout man asked her name was only because he wanted to verify whether she was from a wealthy family.

If the stout man happened to find out about Tyrone during his search and discovered what kind of man Tyrone was, the stout
man might decide to cut his losses and just kill her.
After all, Tyrone had been in a similar situation before. Someone had threatened him with Galilea, but Tyrone didn’t bow to
pressure and just called the police.
After a pause, Sabrina said in a cold voice, “The overcoat on me is worth three thousand. If you don’t believe me, you can take it
to the second-hand market and ask about it. Besides, my name is Bettie, and my father is Corless. He runs a clothing company
called Trang Clothing. You can check it out.”
She had no other choice but to use Bettie’s name. Bettie’s family was rich and lived a carefree life, but she was not in the public
eye like Tyrone.
In a twist of fate, Sabrina was glad that Zeke had taken her bag with him. Her ID card was in it, and if this stout man saw it, her
lie would be exposed.
“Bettie...” the stout man repeated, a frown on his face. He glanced at her and declared, “Wait here for a moment.”
He strode out of the room and locked the door behind him. He told his subordinate who was standing a few paces away from the
door about what Sabrina said.
The subordinate became excited when he heard about that amount of money.
“I think they will definitely be able to pay a lot more than one million.”
The stout man thought about it, but he was still doubtful.
“She says her name is Bettie, and her father is Corless, who runs a clothing company. Check if such a person exists.”
The subordinate was uneducated and didn’t know how to investigate. So he just typed Corless’ name into the search engine. A
moment later, he found himself staring at several people named Corless, all with different identities and living in different parts of
the world.
The stout man, standing behind his subordinate, frowned when he saw the screen.
While the subordinate was scrolling through each name, the stout man suddenly shouted, “Stop!”
The stout man snatched the phone from his subordinate’s hands, his focus on a piece of certain news in the middle.
“Corless, the chairman of Trang Clothing in Mathias.”
There were only a few sentences introducing the clothing company. The article had almost no information about Corless, besides
the fact that he was the chairman, let alone any information about his daughter.
