Tracy slipped to the side, cautiously pulling out her phone. But just as she opened the camera app, her hand suddenly felt

empty.

Ophelia had snatched the phone away in one swift move, She kiew Emily all too well.

Seeing her plan thwarted, Emily immediately jumped to her fee "Ophelia, what's your problem?" she demanded. "I've never done anything to you. Why are you always getting in my way?" Ophelia let out a cold laugh. "Never done anything? You sound so innocent."

Emily sighed, "Why don't you just name your price?" Her eyes unconsciously darted to the phone on the couch, its screen facing down.

"Seven million dollars." Ophelia stated flady.

"Are you out of your mind?" Emily's face contorted with anger.

First, Emily had to compensate seven million dollars for a single dress, and now Ophelia wanted another seven million dollars. She couldn't help but think Ophelia must be obsessed with money "I'm not finished," Ophelia continued. "Besides the seven million dollars, you'll need to clear things up online."

'Clear things up? Emily thought bitterly. "Wouldn't that be like slapping myself in the face?' People might even accuse her of staging the whole thing.

"That's imposs-" Emily said, but the word died in her throat as she met Ophelia's piercing gaze.

Ophelia's voice turned icy. "You have five seconds to decide. Five, four..."

Each number hit Emily like a hammer blow as Ophelia counted down to "one"

Emily gritted her teeth. "Fine, I'll clarify. I'll do it. But... But seven million dollars is too much."

"Then there's nothing left to discuss," Ophelia said, turning to leave.

Before her hand could touch the doorknob, Emily blocked her path. "Okay, I'll pay. Just...give me some time."
