"What's going on? Tell me quickly."
Amy always treated Derek Xie in an impatient manner. She disdained people like Derek. Yet, she had no other option but to deal with him for he was of value to her at present.
"I can tell you. But Lady Amy, how much are you willing to give me this time? It's certainly big news!"
"What big news? I will decide its value after hearing it."
Amy was somewhat suspicious of Derek's intentions. The information he had given her before was mingled with fake news, so she always thought he wanted to swindle money out of her.
"That's not gonna work, Lady Amy. I am already here. Why are you afraid that I would trick you? I've come here with big news this time... about Linda's pregnancy."
Derek gave an obvious hint as he spoke with his money counting gesture.
Amy glanced at Derek, not withholding her contempt for him, and looked through her purse.
She was broke these days.
Previously, half of the Qi Group's properties were controlled by Amy, so she had lived in luxury from the dividends. Her parents gave her this life because she was their only precious daughter.
They never regulated her expenditures.
But things were different now. She squandered all her money in the past, rendering her penniless. Then, she later fell into Linda's scheme.
Or rather, she fell into Adam Huo's scheme, where she was forced to give him half of the properties of her clan.
She dared not tell her parents about this, nor did she dare ask for money. She had no cash on hand. She didn't go out or shop for clothes for the past month.
"What's the hurry? When did I back out without giving you the money I promised?"
Amy pretended to take out a credit card from her purse, waved it in front of Derek, and continued, "If you want the money, you have to tell me the information first. Its value is for me to decide. Don't try to fool me into buying your false information again. I know what you're thinking."
Upon hearing this, Derek was flustered. He thought that Amy had no idea of his intentions, but she stated it bluntly.
But, he didn't care, as long as he could get some money. He was deep in debt because of his gambling problem. Some were already overdue. Other than that, he had to pay a large tuition bill for his daughter Lily Xie. Thus, Derek rubbed his hands and said with a vile smile, "Alright then, it's a deal. I will tell you the information beforehand, so I trust Lady Amy would keep her end of the deal."
Amy was irritated by him. Derek was such an asshole who beat around the bush all the time.
"You know my sister, Linda's foster mother, right? She has been transferred to one of the private hospitals of the Mu clan by Young Master Mu. I care for my sister, so I visited her in the hospital yesterday… And guess who I saw over there?"
"Just cut the crap, will you? I don't want to waste any time dealing with you."
"I saw Linda at the hospital. We all know that she had lost her child due to a miscarriage, right? But the day I saw her, she was still pregnant. Judging from her protruding belly, the baby is already four or five months…"
Amy paled visibly upon hearing this. She happened to be at the hospital on the day when the fake Linda lost her child.
