Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Chapter 259: Buying Props

Alison looked at Aurora incredulously, "Just collecting five strands of hair earns a million dollars?"

Such a thing was hard for anyone to believe, seeming easier than a pie falling from the sky.

"Indeed, just five strands of hair," Aurora repeated.

"Why do you still want his hair after Paul has been expelled from the Montgomery Group?" Alison couldn't see any good intentions in Aurora.

"You don't need to worry about why, it's my personal affair and not convenient to tell you. All you need to do is tell me whether you're willing or not," Aurora said firmly.

"What if I say I'm not interested?" Did Alison truly remain unmoved? She was in a desperate situation; not just a million, even a hundred thousand dollars could keep her going.

Aurora wasn't surprised by her reply, after all, Alison was merely hypothesizing. Currently, Alison had no leverage to negotiate.

"If I were you, I'd simply take the hundred thousand. With your skills, arranging a meeting with Paul and obtaining five strands of hair shouldn't be too hard. I know you're having a tough time, treated like a pariah, and struggling to find work. You may have a degree, but without a stable job, even a roadside stall won't hire you.

Your days must be hard, right? Paul, trying to please his wife, is unlikely to do you any favors. Even without his vice president position, with his past experience and status, do you think he's as miserable as you? Don't be naive, he could live off his past earnings for a lifetime, while the biggest mistake you made was staking your reputation for it. Whether you do it or not, this hundred thousand is for you, although I don't think I did anything wrong. After all, you did the same to me, and you should taste the consequences of your own actions. But, as a woman, you've already been punished enough, and this punishment shouldn't cost you your future.

If you don't take the job, consider this hundred thousand as compensation that can provide you some stability. If you do it, once it's done, I'll give you another nine hundred thousand."

means, although it would be a bit more troublesome. But why wouldn't I use a simpler method if there is one? To you, one million dollars is no small sum; it could at least provide for your immediate needs. You could invest it, or use it as a down payment on a house and pay off the rest later.
