Chapter 491

"You don't have to worry about this," Marian said, "Just tell me straight up - are we swapping or not?"

Augus looked at her in disbelief, "Come on, we're talking about a live person here. How can you be so chill about it?"

"You guys are bold enough to pull this off with a living soul, aren't you?" Marian stared him down, "Let's not play the blame game here."

"That's different," Augus flat-out denied her, "Has the guy you've picked got no family, no friends, no colleagues to miss him if he's gone? If not, you're stirring up a hornet's nest for everyone."

Marian glanced at him but didn't bite.

Her pick was Sophia.

Obviously, Sophia wasn't like some homeless Joe who wouldn't be missed if she kicked the bucket.

But there are plenty of ways to slip out of trouble, like a so-called 'accident.'

If it's an accident, it wouldn't count as premeditated. And that wouldn't jive with Dennis and Augus' plan to stir the pot and take down Brandon and the Starlight Group.

Marian couldn't care less about tanking the Starlight Group or Brandon. Heck, she even thought she could use this opportunity to help Brandon and his company dodge the bullet.

Between wrecking Brandon and the Starlight Group and earning Brandon's gratitude, she'd rather go for the latter.

All she wanted was for Sophia to vanish from this world.

She was sick of living on tenterhooks.

Without Sophia, there would never be another Yolanda, and she could be Yolanda forever, no need to worry about getting busted anymore.

The scheme cooked up by Dennis and Augus was her golden ticket, the best shot she could have.
