Chapter 345 Is That So Gizem’s lips curled into a half-smile. “Have you seen my original appearance before?” “Of course!” Lauren answered firmly. “You were unsightly. Having your face disfigured was equivalent to getting plastic surgery for you.” Gizem scoffed, “Lauren, do you really think I’m easily fooled?” Lauren froze. Tearing away her gaze, Gizem said, “I already know who I am.” Lauren was at a loss for words. “Have you regained your memory?” she asked incredulously. “No.” Gizem sounded impassive. “I don’t need to have the lost memory back. I wasn’t completely disfigured during the fire back then.
Only a small part of the left side of my face was burned, but Master lied to all of you to conceal my identity, saying that I was severely defaced.” Lauren clenched her fists in indignation. So that’s the truth! Gizem turned off the induction cooker. Carrying the meal in one hand, Gizem held Desi’s hand in another and tried to walk past Lauren. “Step aside,” Gizem uttered flatly. Lauren huffed, “You’re just a prisoner now. How dare you act so arrogant in front of me!” “Haha.” Gizem chuckled mirthlessly with a vicious glint in her eyes. “Lauren, did you think the money of the organization is in Master’s hands?” Lauren froze. “Let me tell you something. I’ve stored ten billion in Sumanthova Bank,” Gizem continued, smiling frostily. “If something happens to me, all of the money will be automatically donated to international charitable organizations for children.
None of you will get a single penny. I’m sure you know how broke you are now.” Indeed, Lauren was here for money. Axeworth Corporation needed money for various operations, and the same went for Windwell Corporation as well. Every year, she would secretly transfer a sum of money given by Axeworth Corporation for event expenses to Windwell Corporation to let that organization continue to operate. Although Windwell Corporation had some business deals on hand, those deals could not earn profits as fast as the sale of Gizem’s medications. That was the reason Theodore didn’t lay a finger on Gizem all these years. It was because she was a tool for them to earn money. Lauren bit her lip hard, stepping aside to make way for Gizem. With that, Gizem brought Desi to the dining area. After she put the little girl down on a chair, Gizem gave Desi a spoon, allowing the latter to eat by herself.
Then, Gizem went to the kitchen to get some food for herself, planning to eat together with Desi. While she was busying in the kitchen, Lauren stood motionless at the side. Gizem smirked, speaking slowly. “Are you not going to see Master?” Lauren remained silent. “It seems like you’re not here for him.” Lauren strode over. “I need money.” Resting her chin on her hand, Gizem chuckled coldly. “Why do you compromise your integrity for money as well?” Enraged, Lauren barked, “Are you going to give it to me or not?” “On one condition.” Gizem narrowed her eyes. Her fox-like eyes glimmered, making her look even more attractive. “I won’t let you go.” Lauren gnashed her teeth. “I’ll also die miserably if I help you.” Gizem scoffed, “You’re even less influential than Shadow on this island.” Though Lauren was annoyed, she didn’t say anything. “You only need to cooperate with me.” Gizem smiled darkly. “I didn’t expect I would cooperate with you.” “Give me the money!” Lauren pursed her lips. “I can tell you an account number that contains fifty million. After I get Desi out of this place safely, I’ll tell you the password.” “What if you don’t tell me the password then?”
