Chapter 127

Ursula was nowhere near calm, her entire being consumed by fury.

She yelled into the phone, "Do you think ten thousand dollars is a small amount? Where do you expect me to get you a hundred thousand?" Ten thousand!

That was already no small sum.

After all, the deal between them was done and dusted, everything squared away, and yet here this person was, hounding her again.

Feeling under the weather as it was, Ursula found her recovery further disturbed by these threats.

"I don't care, I want a hundred thousand. If you don't give it to me, I'll ask Stella for it. I believe she'll be willing to part with that money."

Hearing the mention of Stella squeezed Ursula's heart, leaving her feeling suffocated and miserable.

"Ms. Larkin, I wouldn't be asking if I wasn't desperate."

"You are desperate. And you think I can help? I'm sick, battling three types of cancer. I'm on my deathbed, and you're threatening me?" Ursula couldn't help but shout back.
