Gia’s hands trembled as she dialed the number.

As soon as the call connected, fear gripped her. “Hello?”

“Well, well, Ms. Gia.” The man’s voice dripped with sarcasm. “Seems like you’ve been quite the avid shopper lately!”

Gia’s face turned pale. She should have known that the credit cards they had given her came with strings attached. They had been monitoring her spending all along!

“Yes, I may have bought a few limited edition bags, some Cece suits, and some quality cosmetics… So what? Don’t I deserve them?”

“I don’t think that’s all you bought…” Gia heard the sound of paper flipping on the other end. “According to these receipts, you also splurged on a luxury car!”

“I don’t want to commute, taking the train to university like everyone else. I prefer to travel in comfort. What’s wrong with that?” retorted Gia.

The man’s smile remained silent.

“I-I deserve all of this!” Gia’s voice quivered. “If I hadn’t obtained Lina’s test sample and convinced her to cooperate, do you think your plan would have gone so smoothly?”

“Oh? You believe you deserve it all…” The man absorbed her words and scoffed. “Seems like our boss was right about you!”

“What do you mean?” she asked.

He had mentioned that she was a challenge to control.

However, the man kept that to himself, chuckling before addressing the main topic. “Aside from removing her birthmark, is there any other way you can further alter her appearance?”

“What more do you want?” Gia retorted. “Plastic surgery? That costs a fortune! Is he willing to pay for it?”
