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.

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."

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