Chapter 106
Hearing her father’s voice over the phone made Rebecca’s limbs jellied. Her throat fluttered as she mumbled, “Of creme, I want to know where my
mother
“It’s still the same as last time. Prepare one million dollars in cash and send it to the address provide. If you don’t do it, take Amelia York, and you ll never find her in your life. George threatened over the phone.
“Tlease, Buldon’t take my mother away from met” Rebecca blurted, trembling in fear of losing her mother.
Then it depends on whether you’re willing to give mut one million in exchange, tieorge stated firmly.
In a rage, Rebecca tightened her grip on her phone, jumdering how she, who had just heen failed out of prime, eindd provide mich a money? Although her father knew the was strapped for rash, he still forred her làe this. How could much a cruel and ruthlem father exist in the
Honcever, if she disagreed, she would never see her mother again, making her on the edge.
In this predicament, Rebecca chose not to let her anger tusume hier. With her mother in her ruthless father’s hands, the had to think of a way to per hold of the matter.
“Give me a few days, and I’ll find a way to get the money!” Reberca condemned, clenching her hand.
Seconds later. George’s tone became elated as he spoke, “Good! I’ll give you three days. If I don’t see the money in three days, you’ll never see Amelia.”
He then hung up the phone, leaving no room for discussion with Keherra
She put away her phone, feeling her energy had been sucked out, causing her to almost fall to the ground
All day. Rebecca was preoccupied with where she could get the money, bying on the table with no intention of working. One million was not a sma sammant, requiring a person to work a hundred hours of labor to earn it.
The thought of asking her colleague for a million–dollar Inan made her feel ashamed, as she knew they had their own financial obligations.
Moreover, ever since their family went bankrupt, she had fallen from heaven to hell and lost touch with her so–called friends who deserted her during difficult times, so lending her money would be a snowball’s chance in hell
Rebecca scratched her head dejectedly and had a splitting headache.
nd me a million? Rebecca weighed in her mind.
Colleagues and friends were excluded. Who else could I look for? Who could afford to lend me a
Suddenly, Chris’s name flashed across her mind, but he was immediately rejected. Rebecca’s eyes flashed with hatred. Even if she went out to sell her body, she would never open her mouth and ask Chris to borrow money.
The second person Rebecca had in her mind was Boris Scordia. After all, he’s a well–off and empathetic individual who knew her predicament all too well. If she opened her mouth to borrow money from him, the saccess rate would be very high
However, she had been avoiding his calls and messages recently with her cold disposition and ignorance. The thought of asking for such a comiderable sum made her feel shameless. How brazen she was to call and only asked for money!
It was almost time to get off from work when day came,
Rebecca got up from her seat in a daze and had no energy to move. As she walked down the hallway, she accidentally bumped into Avery and Charlie who were walking toward her.
With a sudden joli, Reberca found herself sprawled on the ground. Since she had something in her heart, she wasn’t in the mood to argue with them Instead, she dusted herself as she stood up withouta word and continued to walk forward
“Stop!” Charlie snorted angrily, stretched out his arms to block Rebecca’s path, and demanded, “Apologize to Avery!”
At a standstill, Rebecca raised her head in annoyance and refuted, “Why would I apologize to her even though I didn’t do anything to harm her in the first place!

“A few days ago, you criticized Avery’s design in front of everyone in the design departmeter Charlie Launded, glaring at Reberra.
Rebecca sighed upon heating the baseless assumptions and clarified, “I want to clarify that I did not intentionally single mut more. My actions were mely driven by the company’s interedo”
At this moment. Avery, who had heen silent for a long time, walked in front of Rebecca Gadot with her arms folded and morted. “If porre aming es take nyet my position, say it. Don’t you think pretending to be a good person it awful? You want to show that you’re not a wolf in sheep’s clothing. ymi are wrong and right against the
“Ms. Larkins, 1 have a clear conscience. If you have to think that way, I can’t help it. It’s your dilemma, after all.” Reberra perkoned, deadpan
Avery’s eyes held a hint of hostility as she approached Rebecca. She gritted her teeth and warned with a lone tone. “Reberra Gadot, honestly, draw your design. Lucas will reward you with a bite to eat, but I will never forgive you if you plan to ruin the relationship between Mr. Smith and me
As the ridiculous assumption of Avery went further, Rebecca Inurst into laughter.
She and Klaus had a serious relationship between superiors and subordinates. She’s not a shrew around to cling onto her superior’s lap
“Just because Mr. Smith talked to you about the designs in the office, don’t assume that he likes you. You’re not even worthy of him.” Avery preached.
Drained physically and mentally, Rebecca was fed up and wanted to steer clear of the pointless awumption by saying, “Ms. Larkins, if you want to commit a crime, there is no excuse. I only have respect for Mr. Smith as his subordinate. Don’t spout nonsense ”
“You’d better keep your word! Avery snarled
Rebecca had no intention of responding and stirring trouble, so she turned around and left the design department with a heavy heart, leaving the whining Avery.
Unmoved. Avery watched the disappearing silhouette of Rebecca.
As she clicked her tongue, Charlie walked over and asked, “It’s too easy to let her go, right?”
Avery frowned at Charlie and stated, “I can’t beat her now that Mr. Smith is still around. I’m not a fool to do that.”
“Then let’s hire someone outside to deal with her,” Charlie suggested in a low voice, her eyes flashing with excitement.
In hesitation. Avery glanced nervously at Klaas office before finally mustering the courage to speak.
“We should discuss,” Avery proffered. She glanced around and continued, “Besides, Rebecca was also kicked out by the Evans Corporation Today, so I don’t think I’ve lost.”
After the nonsensical dispute with Avery, Rebecca roamed the street. Under the dim streetlights, her slender figure was endent, and her expression was a mixture of loneliness and sorrow,
The weight of one million was like a huge mountain, and the ruthless voice of George still rangt her ears as griot swallowed her heart. Rebecca walked towards the door of a law firm without realizing it and glanced up. She was surprised to see that it was Boris’s Law firm.
Perplexed, it took her a long time to come to her senses. Rebecca fished out her phone and gazed at the screen. Although she deliberately did not reply to Barts, she did not delete any of the messages be sent her in the past
Looking at the heartwarming messages, she pursed her lips and felt a lot of emotion. Seeing how Baris doted on her in the past, Rebecca somehow fek a pang of grief.
“I’m sorry,” Rebecca mumbled, lowering her head in shame.
In the next second, a headlight came on not far away, and the car drove towards the law firm. Seeing this, Rebecca stepped aside a large tree.
The sound of break reverberated, and a luxurious red sports car stopped before the law firm, producing dark smoke.
behind a
Soon after, a tall woman with a high ponytail and dreadlocks walked out from the driver’s seat, clad with black leather pants and a trendy punk stud jacket of the same color, with a small V–rabe top underneath. With long legs and a slender waist, her proud body curves were fully displayed without reservation, presenting herself with reefidence and grace.
