Chapter 512

Sylvie was always someone who acted the moment an idea struck her—there was never any time to waste.

Her plan was to mortgage her house to the bank first.

At the very least, once the paperwork cleared, she could get her hands on something like six million dollars.

The only thing that worried her was how long the bank's process would actually take.
