His unwanted wife, the world’s coveted genius by Derk Blaylock

Chapter 1167:

Seated on the couch, her jaw clenched in frustration, Holley fumed. “Exactly! This time, Lamont didn’t even hesitate—he demanded two million straight away! Tell me, isn’t this outright extortion? He’s treating me like a cash cow!”

Baker’s expression darkened, his fists tightening. He gritted his teeth and muttered a curse under his breath. “Damn it! I knew it… That man won’t stop asking us for money!”

Holley nodded vehemently. “Exactly! Baker, just think about it—how long has it been since we gave him the five hundred thousand? He’s already squandered it all, and now he’s back for more? Two million this time? If we give in now, what will happen next? Next time, he’ll probably want three million, then five million—where does it end?” The more she spoke, the more her frustration mounted. She turned to Baker, her tone grave. “This isn’t just a problem—it’s a trap we’re sinking into! No, Baker, we can’t let this go on! We have to find a way to put an end to this.”

Baker’s eyes glinted with the same resolution. He already knew—this wasn’t just a one-time demand. Lamont would keep coming back for more money. If they caved again, it would never stop. This matter had to be resolved once and for all. And it couldn’t be delayed any longer.

After a prolonged silence, Baker finally spoke. “I’ll take care of this. You don’t need to worry about him anymore.”

Holley exhaled, nodding. “Alright.”
