Michelle cried, overwhelmed with despair.
Jose, already furious, shoved Michelle hard. "I don't know! I can't deal with your mess right now! Get out! Leave me alone!"
Michelle stumbled and fell to the floor. The pain made her cry even harder!
Jose was absolutely livid!
He had to find the Hacker Alliance!
He was going to make them pay with their lives!!
*****
The exact same scene unfolded at Tucker Villa and the same livid expression was on Matthew's face!
Matthew held his phone, his entire body trembling!
In an instant, he looked much older!
His heart was aching like hell!
I've been played for a fool!
My one billion!
Clara, beside him, was also filled with despair and anger. But she pushed those feelings down and rushed to take care of Matthew first. "Dad, don't get so worked up. Nothing is more important than your health..."
She had to win her dad's favor back.
But—
Slap!
Matthew slapped her hard across the face. "It's all your fault! My one billion—gone just like that! I'm so pissed!"
The slap stunned Clara. Half her face burned with pain!
Her ears were ringing like crazy—that slap was so hard it gave her tinnitus!
She stared silently at Matthew's furious retreating figure, a sharp glint of venom in her eyes!
After Matthew left, Nichole looked at the blood at the corner of Clara's mouth, her heart breaking. "Clara, don't hold it against your dad. He's just too angry."
Clara put on a smiling face. She wiped her tears and forced an understanding smile. "Mom, don't worry. I won't blame him."
"Then what do we do now, Clara? The Hacker Alliance refuses to take down the dirt—what can we do?"
Clara said, "Mom, I'll go beg Raymond later. I'll ask him to help."
"Clara, are you sure Raymond will help you?"
Clara said confidently, "Mom, he will. He dotes on me the most."
Later, Clara called Raymond, saying she needed to meet with him.
Raymond agreed right away.
"Raymond! You're the best!"
Hearing that Raymond was willing to see her, a smile crept onto Clara's face.
This made her even more confident. She knew it—Raymond cared about her the most.
*****
Meanwhile, on top of a mountain stood a luxurious villa.
On the golf course in the yard, the silver-haired boy hung up the phone and tossed it aside, and the smile on his face disappeared instantly.
Margaret must be possessed by the devil!
I should have killed her myself back then!
Suddenly, something occurred to her.
In the mirror, Clara's face twisted into a sinister, triumphant sneer!
Margaret had been missing for three days!
Her calls went unanswered every time!
She must be dead by now!
A few days ago, she'd hired that assassin to kill Margaret. And these past few days, Margaret had vanished without a trace!
She was definitely dead!
She'd tried calling the assassin to confirm, but his phone had been unreachable the whole time.
But Margaret had been missing for three days—she had to be dead!
Now, she just had to wait for her body to be found!
"Haha! Margaret! You deserved to die! You stupid bumpkin is finally dead!"
The woman in the mirror suddenly broke into a ferocious smile, like a madman.
Clara was over the moon right now!
Margaret was dead!
Next, she'd ask Raymond for help. He'd definitely beg Edward to help her.
