Chapter 47 Mounting Anxiety

1/8

Emma's eyes sparkled at the mention of the ten million dollars.

Emily, who had endured so much and had no ties to the outside world, preferred to stay here forever.

Emma, on the contrary, had a loving partner, a mother, and a younger brother waiting for her.

Had it not been for her brother's illness, she would never have ventured there to earn money.

Now, with her brother's health improving, she could leave such a lousy life behind once she got the ten million dollars.

When Emma was lost in fantasies of her future, her phone rang, shattering her reverie.

"How is it? Is it done?" a feminine voice demanded as soon as

the call connected.

"Almost there, just a bit more time. Today is not the 10th. Wait just a couple more days! And the money..."

Emma's excitement was palpable as her mind was consumed by thoughts of wealth.

"Don't worry. The money will definitely be transferred into your account."

The woman on the other end of Emma's call was none other

than Diana.

Diana orchestrated the plan with Caroline. The ten million dollars was a mere lure, a hollow promise. They had no intention of paying Emma.

"This woman is so gullible, thinking she'll get ten million for such a simple task. She's living in a dream!" After hanging up the phone with Emma, Diana gloated to Caroline over the phone.

"Yes. Diana, not everyone can be as brilliant as you."
