But this time, Veronica had gravely miscalculated.
Hearing this, Scarlett's face went completely deadpan. "If he had the nerve to rack up that much debt, I'm sure he has a way to pay it off."
"As for his fingers—chop them off if you want. You don't need to call me about it. Our father-daughter relationship died a long time ago. He's nothing but a stranger to me now."
Without another word, Scarlett hung up, not giving Veronica a single second to attempt extortion.
"Scarlett! He's your biological father— Hello? Scarlett! Scarlett!"
Veronica shrieked angrily into the phone, only to be met with a dial tone.
Furious, she nearly hurled her phone at the wall.
Instead, she brutally kicked the man groveling on the floor, his hands bound tightly with rope.
Sean grimaced in intense pain, his body convulsing a few times before the sharp sting finally faded.
Veronica grabbed him by the collar. "Didn't you say she'd definitely come running to save you if we used this trick?!"
"You pathetic old fool! You drastically overestimated your worth to your own daughter!"
"Ms. Thorne, please... listen to me!" Sean stammered in panic.
"My daughter has a sharp tongue but a soft heart! If she truly didn't care about me, she wouldn't have been secretly sending me money through all those random channels. I would've starved to death by now!"
