Chapter 13 Asking for 400 Million Dollars
Angie ordered, “Move.”
Then, she heard a cold and deep voice behind her…
Madeline didn’t plan to let Angie go that easily. She knocked on the table lightly and said, “Ms. Angie, you promised to compensate me for my laptop. Are you going to break your promise?”
Angie turned around and stared at Madeline, “Isn’t it just a stupid laptop? You already got 100 million dollars. Why do you care about that little bit of money?”
Madeline hinted at Albert to give Angie the quote.
“Ms. Angie, let me remind you. It’s ten laptops, not one.”
Angie looked at the quote and threw it on the floor before stomping on it.
“Don’t push your luck! How can a few stupid laptops be worth 300 million dollars?”
Albert reminded her casually, “Ms. Angie, our chairman’s laptop is custom-made. It also has the most advanced specifications. More importantly, it contains all the data gathered by previous chairmen and information about this year’s Global Charity Banquet award winners. Do you think 300 million dollars for ten of these laptops are expensive?”
“That’s going too far!”
Angie realized this woman was trying to milk all her money. She also wondered why she had no idea that Mr. Gordon knew this woman.
Madeline wasn’t really forcing her to pay the money, “Ms. Angie, if you think the price is too high, just forget it! I’ll repair the laptop myself. However, I can’t guarantee that I can restore the candidate’s name list inside the computer. The data might be changed.”
Angie was furious after hearing that.
“You are threatening me!”
“Oh, you noticed,” Madeline said with a smile.
“Fine. You are taking advantage of me. You better pray and hope you live long enough to spend all the money you made.”
Angie said that as her parting shot and left.
In truth, she was scared and worried.
She only had half a day to gather 400 million dollars.
The woman would expose her dirty deeds, whether it was about Mr. Gordon or the fake donations. It would leave Angie with nothing. So, she had no choice but to obey the woman.
Madeline was happy because she achieved her objective. She handed over the voice recorder in her pocket to Albert and asked him to retrieve the security camera footage.
“Get someone to keep an eye on Asher. Angie won’t let him go that easily. We should be able to learn something else as a bonus.”
“Yes, Ms. Madeline.”
Meanwhile, there was a cold atmosphere at the Quincy residence.
Ever since he saw the woman known also as Madeline at the hospital, Noah had been locking himself in the study.
He sat dispiritedly in his black swivel chair and kept thinking about what happened five years ago.
Five years ago, Madeline murdered his grandfather, betrayed the Quincy family, and caused Angie serious harm.
