Chapter 780:


    Natalie was floored. “Interest? Since when? And why should you make so much money for doing nothing?”


    Russell nodded as he replied, “The terms in the contract are straightforward. Didn’t you read it? If the principal isn’t paid in full, interest is charged on the whole amount. For a hundred million, three million in interest isn’t that big of a deal.”


    Natalie froze, her eyes scanning the contract in disbelief. “Fine, I’ll just find someone else! Give my money back!”


    Russell was blunt, his tone cold. “Sure, I’ll deduct a hefty processing fee of $50 million and send the rest back to you.”


    Natalie’s heart sank. “You wouldn’t dare!”


    The sound of cards shuffling on the other end of the line abruptly stopped.


    A bone-chilling silence followed, and then a deadly, low voice responded, “What did you say?”


    A shiver ran down Natalie’s spine. “I mean, once the three million is transferred, you’ll kill Dani, right? There won’t be any more charges, huh?”


    The sound of cards shuffling resumed on the other end, as if nothing had happened.


    Russell’s response was almost casual. “Of course. We’re professionals.”


    Natalie ended the call quickly, her mind racing. To avoid more interest, she sold off both her and Elyse’s cars.


    Elyse, on the edge of tears, couldn’t keep her distress in check. “Mom, stop crying!” Natalie snapped, her patience thin. “It’s so annoying! Once Dani is gone, we’ll have everything.”


    Frustrated and desperate, she called Russell once again.

    Russell’s voice wasid-back as ever. “Alright, full payment’s in. Just wait.”


    A huge sigh of relief escaped Natalie. “So, how soon will Dani be gone?”


    “As I said, we’re professionals. Don’t worry. It’ll happen soon enough,” he responded without a hint of urgency.


    After hanging up, Natalie smiled with satisfaction.


    Elyse, however, was troubled, her brow furrowed. Dani had already assured her of everything she desired. Yet, after all this chaos, she had lost her favorite car and was still stewing over the vi that had been sold.


    She looked at Natalie’s profile, feeling more cautious.


    It hit her then—Natalie wasn’t as easily manipted as she had thought.


    Meanwhile, Dani entered a charity auction, and as soon as she arrived, the lights dimmed. Someone quietly took a seat across from her.


    Lillian nudged Dani, her voice curious. “Dani, why is Cedric here?”


    Dani, eyes glued to her phone, responded without looking up, “He had a signing ceremony this afternoon. He shouldn’t be here in Olisvine right now.”


    Lillian leaned over the seat to get a better look. “Huh? Isn’t that Cedric?”


    Dani continued typing away on her phone.


    As she looked up, the man in the front row stood and made his way toward the front.


    From her angle, she could now clearly see the man resembled Cedric.


    Lillian spun to Dani, wide-eyed. “Isn’t that him? Why is Cedric here? Why didn’t he tell you he wasing? He knows we’re here at the auction.”
