Chapter 168

"Uncle Raymond." Lyra crossed her arms and leaned back with a casual sneer.

"Truth be told, I don't believe in anything but cold, hard cash," she said.

"Speaking of which, how about the Cheval Blanc Hotel paperwork? Let's skip the drama. Why don't you have Alex sign and hand it over?"

Raymond went deathly pale.

Cheval Blanc had always been his golden goose-he'd never let go of that gem without a fight.

But he forced a thin, unconvincing smile. "My lawyers are handling it," he lied, fishing for time. In truth, he'd already told his bodyguards: if Alex refuses to cooperate, use force-hostage, murder, whatever it takes to cure him.

Yet, the Plan needed to be changed, everyone suddenly realize Alex was no easy mark.

One slap could kill a man, and the bodyguards seemed hesitant to test him again. Raymond realized he'd have to shift gears before things turned ugly.

"Fine," he spat, snatching his phone and barking at his legal team through a video call, “Draft the transfer papers for Cheval Blanc immediately!"

"Why so sudden?"

"Just fucking do it!"

"Yes, sir," came the reply. "We'll need about twenty minutes."

Suddenly, Raymond coughed, crimson droplets staining his lips.

Pain coursed through him like wildfire, and his vision blurred. Even two minutes seemed too long now.

"Just do it now!" he roared in desperation.

"But, sir," his attorney stammered, "forcing the transfer so quickly might-"

"Just do it!" Raymond's voice cracked as he retched up more blood.

All at once, panic clenched his heart. When you're staring death in the face, money and power become meaningless.

A soft ping on his smartwatch signaled the document's arrival.

A shimmering 3D hologram of the opulent Cheval Blanc Hotel sprang up.

Raymond's trembling hands hovered over the device, his eyes clouded with agony and regret.
