[ELRIC EXELON POV]
"Release my wife!" he demanded, sitting on the chair opposite the woman at the Zhang Enterprise office in the capital.
After talking to his lawyer who was denied a request to see his wife, he knew there was no other choice but to approach the ruthless heiress.
"And if I don't? Are you going to strangle me again?" the Zhang heiress scoffed, "You really want to be deported, don't you?"
"I'll do whatever you want if you release her."
It was a desperate move and he knew he would regret it but he would rather die than let his wife suffer in jail. The woman's eyes sparkled with happiness.
"Ohhhh… I love that, Elric," the woman teased, "Say that to me again?"
"I'll do whatever you want if you release my wife," he repeated.
"I'm your wife!" the Zhang heiress pointed out.
"Is that what you want? To be my wife?"
"No. I don't want to be your wife," the woman sneered, "I want your money."
"How much?"
