Too Late to Hold Me Back novel Chapter 950

Mira and Owen had been holed up in the study. Downstairs, Rachel had already called out several times, "Dinner is ready."

At the dining table, with Grandma Eleanor present, all talk of Seraphina and Lawrence was strictly off-limits.

Meals were for lighthearted chatter, generally avoiding work topics.

But before dinner was over, Mira received a call from Sebastian. She glanced at it and hung up.

Grandma Eleanor asked, "Who was that?"

"Just an irrelevant spam call,"

Mira replied.

"Grandma Eleanor, you wouldn't believe how many scam calls there are these days. If you aren't careful, you'll fall right into their traps with how smoothly they talk."

"How do these bad people scam you over the phone?"

The old woman asked.

She wasn't familiar with smartphones and couldn't quite wrap her head around it.

"They'll say someone in your family has been kidnapped and demand you wire money immediately, or they'll kill the hostage.

Or they'll claim you've won a huge prize and tell you to claim it fast."

"Well, if they're giving away a prize, just take it and see what they do next,"

Grandma Eleanor mused curiously.

Rachel chimed in, "Oh, absolutely do not talk to them! I've gotten those calls a few times.

Right when you try to claim the prize, they tell you there's a processing fee you have to wire first. Once you wire the fee, they say they need more money for an identity verification check...

They slowly drain you dry bit by bit, and then the number completely disconnects."

Grandma Eleanor listened, utterly stunned.

"If you hadn't told me, I would have never known there were swindlers like that!"

Once Grandma Eleanor was reassured and dinner concluded, Mira and Owen headed back to the study to handle business.
