Chapter 50

The bald man's phone was turned up so loud that every word from Vera was broadcast clearly to everyone in the room.

Effie clenched her jaw in fury.

She hadn't expected Vera to be so vicious, willing to resort to such dirty tricks to get rid of her.

At this point, the bald man felt not an ounce of sympathy for Vera. His tone was unforgiving. "Vera, if you don't want this getting out, you'll wire me three million- right now. Otherwise, we both go down. I've got nothing to lose, but you? That's a different story..."

Vera was stunned, caught completely off guard.

She forced herself to stay calm. This was not something that could see the light of day. "What the hell is going on?"

Weren't they supposed to kidnap that wretched Effie?

How had this all flipped around to blackmailing her?

"It's blown up. Someone saved the woman, and now she's threatening to call the police. I'm sneaking this call to you. If I go down, I need to make sure my family's taken care of. So unless you send me three million, I'll tell them everything about you." The bald man's threat was cold, deliberate.
