Chapter 218 Demanding Money 

“That’s certainly not the case, Naomi. We’ve known each other for years, why wouldn’t we tell you?” 

Agnes smiled awkwardly and added, “We just moved in and haven’t tidied up everything. I was planning to inform you in a day or two.” 

When she moved into Horizon Mirror with her family, she indeed did not want the Laime family to know, but she could not escape them forever. 

The three of them waited for her outside the house and when she returned from grocery shopping, they caught her. 

Naomi grunted and scoffed, “Agnes, are you taking us as fools? We called you and asked if you’ve moved, but you stammered! 

“I know what you’re thinking. You don’t want us to know that you moved into a big house so we can’t get money from you. But can you run from us forever? Don’t forget you are the reason my daughter is dead! You owed us! And you can never ever repay us!” 

She slammed the tea table suddenly, startling Agnes. 

Her words pried open Agnes’ old scar. 

“Yes, I understand, Naomi. It was my mistake. I accidentally caused Letty’s death. I am sorry…” 

Her eyes teared up as she apologized profusely.

start a business.” 

“How much do you want, Larry?” 

Agnes had seen this coming. All she could do was find out the amount and then send the family off. 

From the moment they stepped into the house, the living hall became smokey and dirty. 

“A million.” Larry waved his finger. 

“A million?” Agnes was surprised. 

The Laime family asked for money many times before, ranging from fifty-odd thousand to a few hundred thousand. 

Agnes could not do anything and went to borrow money just to fulfill their demands. 

This time, Larry asked for an exorbitant amount. 

Ptooey! 

Lance cleared his throat and spat into the ashtray in front of him. 

The noise alone gave Darcy and Sky goosebumps. 

Lance cleared his throat again and glared at Agnes. “Look at this house. It cost at least ten million, right? So what is a million to you? Stop acting poor!”

Ten million? 

Lance was missing one zero, but Agnes would never tell him the real price of Horizon Mirror. 

Naomi chimed in, “Agnes, your daughter is now the CEO of
