Martin couldn’t hide the murderous look in his eyes.
“10 billion? You sure talk big. What, you think this is monopoly money? You think I can just conjure that up whenever I want?” Martin shot back.
Waverly laughed and said, “You want me dead, but I can’t ask for protection? You don’t have ten billion, but your father does. The Nicholsons are an Ancient Martial Clan, a century-old trillion dollar family. To them, ten billion is pocket change.”
Martin’s face fell, his whole aura deflated. He asked, “How much do you actually know?”
“You’ve no idea,” Waverly said. “Lily is your half-sister. Your mother raised someone else’s child, the son she adored helped that man swindle her. Mason had no heirs. Lily is your father’s daughter with the Lowell family’s ward.
“The Lowell family? Just deluded has-beens dreaming of being top-tier. Honestly, your family is ice-cold. I can’t compete. Stella betrayed her own daughter for an adopted girl, using the medicine formula as a cover.”
As for what that something else was, Waverly had no idea.
Everything Samuel left behind was stashed away in the storage room.
She’d snuck in to take a look, and the only thing worth anything was the medicine formula.
Maybe he figured it was better left alone, so he never told anyone, not even Sarah.
“Are you really not scared of dying?” Martin said. His fingers curled into tight fists. He wanted nothing more than to kill Waverly right then and there.
But he couldn’t.
If Waverly ever leaked those pieces of evidence, not only would he be finished, but the Nicholson family would be exposed to the public eye.
“Of course, I’m afraid of dying. Who isn’t?” Waverly shot back. “But I’ve got leverage. You wouldn’t dare kill me, because if everything you’ve done gets out, the Nicholson family won’t be able to hide anymore. Let me guess what they’re really after.
“Genetic research? Trying to boost people’s IQ with gene drugs, s that it?”
Martin’s face grew grim and dangerously dark.
‘Where did Waverly even learn about this?’ Martin wondered, his mind spinning.
He’d kept these secrets under wraps; not even Matthew knew a thing.
The car pulled up right outside the Swanson residence.
Waverly gently nudged Martin aside and nonchalantly smoothed her messy hair. She said, “10 billion. Not a cent less. Make sure I get out of the country safely. You have five days.”
With that, Waverly pushed open the car door and stepped out.
Out of Martin’s sight, Waverly snorted under her breath, a cold smirk on her lips.
She thought with a sneer, ‘Evidence? My ass! There’s nothing at all. I hadn’t left a single trace behind.’
She was right in the thick of it. Leaving any evidence would be like signing her own death warrant.
So even if there had been any evidence, she’d already destroyed t.
But she was betting Martin would believe her bluff.
After all, she wasn’t just guessing about the Nicholson family; she knew the real deal.
After Waverly left, Martin watched her go, his expression swallowed by the darkness, eyes cold and predatory.
He took out his phone and dialed a number.
The call connected almost instantly, and a deep voice answered “What is it?”
“It’s a mess. Waverly’s got evidence. She wants 10 billion and safe passage out of the country,” Martin reported.
“Useless,” the voice on the other end said. “You can’t even handle a simple task like this, what good are you?”
Martin gritted his teeth and then said, “I messed up? How about you ask yourself what you did wrong? How did Waverly dig up my background? How does she know about the Nicholson family? You left a mess behind, and now you’re blaming me?” “Wait, what? She knows about your backgrounINGING

“She doesn’t just know about me; she knows you hang uh, and she even knows Lily’s your kid,” Martin snapped, getting more and more agitated. “So tell me, how the hell did she find out?”
“Did she somehow overhear us when you called me?” Lawrence asked, his brow furrowing.
“I never talk about my background when I call you, so how could she have heard anything?” Martin replied. He was about to

lose his mind. “Just send the money already. She’s nuts, if she starts blabbing and outs all our secrets, we’re screwed.”
