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.

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."
