After getting Elijah on the line, Alice put the phone on speaker mode and placed it on the table with its screen down.

“Josh, is it? I know Elijah sent you to meet me.” Her tone was not inquiry but rather a direct statement of affirmation.

As Elijah was about to speak on the other end of the phone, he fell silent and listened attentively upon hearing her words. Did she accidentally call me?

He believed that Alice was foolish, but little did he know that this was all part of her plan.

“I don’t understand what you’re talking about.” Although Josh had a moment of panic, he knew that admitting to anything would jeopardize the fourteen thousand that had been promised to him.

Without even glancing at Josh, Alice pulled out a check from her bag and started filling it in for an amount clearly stated as seven hundred thousand.

Meanwhile, the man stood beside her with his greedy, red eyes fixed on the check, his heart racing with excitement at the sight of so much money.

He surmised that she wanted to ask him questions, and he was more than willing to oblige if it meant earning seven hundred thousand with just a few words.

“Mr. Hayes, do you understand now?” she asked casually without even glancing at Josh.

Elijah anxiously listened to their conversation, hoping Josh wouldn’t mess up. However, the next second brought an unexpected answer from Josh on the phone.

“Yes, Elijah asked me to come. He gave me fourteen thousand and instructed me to find you. The things I said earlier were also taught by him,” Josh admitted without hesitation.

Only then did Alice lift her gaze toward Josh. “Did he say anything else to you?”
