His fingers, tightly clutching the smartphone, unconsciously tightened.
They had transformed from a broken-up couple to a creditor-debtor relationship. Ironically as it may seem, at least it established some connection between them.
He didn’t reply to her. What good would his disapproval do? She wouldn’t listen to him anyway.
About fifteen minutes later, his phone buzzed again. Opening the message, he saw a bank notification. His personal account, just now, had been credited with one billion dollars. The remark was repayment.
He stared at the meaningless series of numbers, the light in his eyes dimming bit by bit. That was probably all the cash she could muster at the moment.
...
After transferring the money, Violette stared blankly at her phone for a while.
He didn't reply. Could it be that he didn't see it?
Oh well, she had already sent the message,and he would see it sooner or later.
She put her phone back into her handbag, picked it up and walked out of the door. She had contacted a police officer the previous day, hoping the police could investigate who Silver King had met before kidnapping Adrian.
Although Silver King was dead, some of his henchmen were still alive. The police had investigated a few of Silver King's henchmen at her request and obtained a detailed statement. She was heading to the police station now to collect that statement.
Time flew by, and two weeks had passed.
Violette had said that she would return to A country after two weeks, but she didn’t.
Mike felt extremely heavy-hearted after talking to her.
"I have to try, right? Otherwise, how long are they going to keep this up?" Joey ended the call after saying this. He mustered up the courage and knocked on the CEO's office door.
Elijah was talking to the deputy CEO. Seeing Joey barge in, a frown formed on his forehead.
"Mr. Elijah, I have something important to report to you." Joey walked up to Elijah.
Seeing this, the deputy CEO tactfully excused himself.
Elijah's eyes held a hint of anger: "You're getting bolder."
Joey slightly lowered his head: "Mike just told me that Violette has taken on a lot of private jobs in B Country to pay you back as soon as possible. Her health hasn't recovered yet, and she's also pregnant. She's bound to face problems with such exertion. Why don't you just let her off the hook?"
Upon hearing this, Elijah's heart clenched and his face turned pale with fury.
