Abandoned by All I Took It All Back novel Chapter 152

"I'm serious. After this job, we're leaving. I only started scouting for you to help you out. You've gotten plenty from Melody. Let's not push our luck. I just want a quiet life."

But it was clear Yates had no intention of stopping. He gave her a noncommittal answer.

"We'll see. I've still got a few guys on the hook. I'm waiting for Ms. Wallace to introduce me to her friends. If she takes them off my hands, then I'll quit."

"Really?"

"Would I lie to you? Ms. Wallace wants men, and I need the money. You hook them, I make the connection. See how easy the cash comes in? It's better than any nine-to-five, isn't it?"

Gasps rippled through the crowd as they listened to the conversation.

Everyone was piecing together the core of their scheme.

Yates scammed women out of their money, while Jacqueline helped him procure men to sell to a "Ms. Wallace," who paid them handsomely.

They were living off this illicit income.

As for why Ms. Wallace wanted these men, the guests could venture a few guesses.

What they couldn't understand was how they got away with such a blatant operation. Didn't the victims fight back?

Their question was soon answered.

The "Ms. Wallace" in question, Lynn Wallace, finally arrived at the lounge.

Yates treated her with complete deference, buttering her up with flattery before finally stating his purpose.

"Ms. Wallace, what do you think of this one? I guarantee, he's never been with anyone. It took a lot of effort to find him. Look at him—top-tier looks, gentle personality, works in sales so he's a great talker. I'm sure he'll satisfy you."

Ms. Wallace had already seen Nolan's picture.

She had also caught a glimpse of him from a distance at the party earlier and was quite pleased.
