Second Marriage to Mr. Rich (Ned Fletcher) novel Chapter 188

"Ms. Emmerson, Tommy has paid back the money he owed this time. I don't know where he got so much money, but he borrowed again…" Billy's voice traveled over the phone.

Angeline wasn't surprised. Tommy must have used the funds that were meant for the production of that batch of drugs.

After all, she had specially instructed Billy to remind Tommy to use those funds first and return the money when he won it back from gambling. No one would know.

Tommy hadn't had the guts to do so the last time, so he had chosen to steal the prescription.

Angeline hadn't made a fuss out of that because she wanted Tommy to feel that he was safe whilst in the grip of his gambling addiction. That way, he could be forced into a corner again.

As long as Tommy was in a desperate situation, he would think about using that money even without Billy mentioning it. He would think that he would be able to win it back at gambling and just return the money quietly.

That was the typical gambler's mindset.

Angeline wanted to use this mindset of Tommy's and leave no way out for both him and Yates Group. At the same time, she wanted to drag Ned and Fletcher Corporation down, too.

When she thought of how Ned had saved Tommy, who was the instigator behind Henrietta's murder, she was determined to make them feel the same rage and helplessness that she had felt.

"Alright. Thank you for your help over this period, Billy!" said Angeline, smiling.

"Don't mention it, Ms. Emmerson. It's the least I can do! I offended you because I was ignorant, but you begged for leniency for me in front of Mr. Swenson. That's the only reason I'm alive, and I won't forget that I'm indebted to you," Billy said hurriedly.

After hanging up, Angeline waited quietly for Ned to realize that the money in Yates Group's account had been embezzled by Tommy.
