My Wife Is So Sweet (Natalia Dawson) novel Chapter 610

Chapter 610 Mooching off

No matter which one he chose, he would lose the opportunity to keep mooching off Laura.

Hence, if Diego had the choice, he would pick neither of the options.

He would prefer to keep things as they were now and mooch money off Laura once in a while, which would benefit him the most.

But those people took a hard line on him. They told him that if he refused to help them, they would perhaps kill him right on the spot.

Those gangsters all had strong backers. Diego couldn't afford to mess with them, so he could only do as he was told.

But he was swayed at once when Laura told him she had a ton of jewels and antiques at her place this afternoon in the factory.

He began to wonder how great it would be if all the money was his.

Those people picked on him and pestered him to pay back their money. Broke and powerless, Diego didn't dare to defy them before.

But who else would he fear once he had such a large sum?

He could take the money and flee to another country. So what if the others found out he murdered those people? They couldn't track him down anyway.

Plus, Diego knew those jewels were worth much more than five million dollars.

That was why he dared to make such a risky move.

Money could drive people mad, not to mention that Diego was a fanatical money-grabber.

After the money and the valuables were in his bag, he would, of course, kill Laura as well.

Then, he would go to another country by stealth. After that, he would be completely free!

As Diego thought of this, a tinge of madness could be seen in his eyes.

He was fully aware that what he was doing was highly risky.

It was even likely to ruin all the plans he had hatched before.

But he couldn't pull back now.

Without the money, he wouldn't be able to escape to a foreign country even if he killed Laura.

In that case, he would also be killed. He certainly didn't want to die.

So he had to take the chances!

Diego had lost so much money because he was a gambling addict. In this circumstance, he naturally would like to continue to make a bet other than giving up.

So he approved of Laura's suggestion.

He picked up Laura's phone but didn't hand it to her. Instead, he made her unlock the screen while holding it in his hand.

He asked, "What's your boyfriend's caller ID?"

Laura thought for a moment and said, "The Wayward Dog."

Diego was puzzled.

"What the hell?"

"What dog?"

Laura smiled awkwardly and said, "You know, it's a term of endearment."

Diego felt rather speechless.

Laura was self-conscious. Max often picked on her before. She wanted to call him names but didn't dare to do it in his face.

Thus, she changed his caller ID on her phone into "the wayward dog".

That was her private way to vent out her anger.

Diego found Max's number in the contact list, made the call, and handed the phone to Laura.

Max had been waiting for updates from his people. But somehow, Diego was nowhere to be found as if he had vanished from the world.

Irritated, Max was even more certain that Diego had something to do with this.

Just when he was waiting anxiously, his phone rang.

At first, he thought the people he sent out had finally found out something. He hastily picked up the phone but trembled with shock.

The phone screen showed that it was Laura calling.
