68 Meeting

Isla also received a call from the police station.

As a witness who saw the whole incident, when she discovered that Rebecca’s brother was no ordinary person, she cooperated with the police to provide her statement and didn’t dare to lie.

She was more than happy to oblige, so she happily agreed.

By testifying for Rebecca, she could make Frankie indebted to her again…

Just as she was feeling triumphant, her phone suddenly rang again. She glanced at the caller ID. Her face darkened. It was Finley Hill!

While she wanted to hang up, she didn’t dare to. Finally, she reluctantly picked up, “What?”

“Dear niece, you have to help me! If I can’t pay back the money this time, I’ll be beaten to death!” Finley

Hill’s voice made Isla frown and irritated.

She clenched her fist. “How much?”

“Five million.”

“How much?!” Isla’s voice suddenly rose, feeling like

she must have heard him wrong.

Although the Olsen family was wealthy and gave her an allowance of 150,000 every month since middle school, Olsen’s current cash deposit was only a few million. Along with the company’s working capital, it didn’t even reach twenty million.

She thought that the two million from last time would keep Finley Hill occupied for a while, but it had only been a few days, and Finley Hill needed five million

more!

However, Finley Hill wasn’t at all intimidated. “Can you afford it or not? If you can’t, they’ll kill me, then I’ll

have to talk to Keira.”

Isla’s pupils contracted.

“You have two days. If the money isn’t in my account by then, don’t blame me for revealing your and Keira’s origins. After all, one’s life is the most important, right?”

After leaving these words, Finley Hill hung up. The infuriated Isla threw her cell phone to the ground.
