Madly Yours (Nora Reed) novel Chapter 304

"Nora was the one who called the cops! She's the reason you spent fifteen years in prison..."

"Enough, save your breath." Arnold reached out and patted her cheek condescendingly. "I'm giving you three days. One million dollars, and not a penny less. I want it in cash."

"Three days? How is that even possible? I can't get that kind of money..."

Arnold's voice darkened. "That sounds like a you problem. If I don't see the cash in three days, I'll pay your husband a visit. We can have a nice, long chat about our history."

All the color vanished from Penelope's face.

"You... you wouldn't dare!"

"What makes you think I wouldn't?" Arnold flashed a sinister grin. "Tell me, if your husband found out about our little secret, how do you think he'd react?"

Penelope's lips quivered, unable to form a single word.

Arnold patted her cheek one last time. "Three days. Remember, not a minute longer."

Watching him walk away, Penelope felt her legs give out. She leaned heavily against the wall, gasping for air, her back soaked in cold sweat.

She didn't notice the silhouette crouching behind the nearby bushes.

Jade covered her mouth, her eyes wide with sheer disbelief.

She had followed Penelope outside to demand that she buy her something specific.

She never expected to overhear such an explosive secret!

She knew it! The last time she saw that man, something felt off.

He wasn't some distant cousin at all!

He was Penelope's ex-husband.

Nora's biological father!

A man who had just served fifteen years in prison.

A slow, malicious smile spread across Jade's face. The movement tugged at the healing wounds around her mouth, making her wince, but she didn't care about the pain.

She needed to carefully plan exactly how to use this leverage...

Nora!

You're dead meat!
