The danger in Gregory’s stare became greater. The words he uttered were icy indeed. “Are you threatening me?”
Vickie sighed helplessly.
Shaking her head, she walked toward him and said, “Hey, how could you say that? Didn’t I just analyze the pros and cons of the situation for you? If you really don’t feel like cooperating with me, it’s fine. I heard that the Bauhinia Clan has been trying to do something about the map lately. I guess they must be interested in that stuff!
“Since you don’t want to seize this opportunity, I shall discuss it with them instead. After all, I’ve met Seven a few times before, and I quite like her. I heard she’s a member of the Bauhinia Clan, right? Let’s keep the good stuff within the family. We’re one family anyway. Tsk, look, isn’t this great?
“I can also reunite with her then. It’s been a few years since we last met, and I do miss her a lot.”
The more she went on, the grimmer Gregory’s expression grew.
By the time she eventually stopped speaking, his expression sank so low that he nearly suffocated.
Raising the corner of his mouth, he said sarcastically, “I didn’t realize that you’ve heard so much news despite being in jail over the past four years.”
Raising her eyebrows, she asked humorously, “Boss Gregory, at this moment, do you regret not having shot me back then?”
Gregory gave a cold laugh. “Rather.”
“Tsk, sadly, you don’t have the chance now.”
As she spoke, she walked toward him and gazed at his handsome face. “As I told you earlier, I’ll be back to take revenge on you one day since you didn’t kill me back then. Gregory, don’t ever bring me here to see your brothers’ dead bodies the next time. I find them disgusting. After all, I have the blood of the Vermilion Bird Organization in my veins, and it’s still burning!”
After she finished speaking, her gaze turned completely cold.
She extended her legs and casually brushed off the picture on the ground to cover it. Then, she turned around and walked away coolly.
The woman’s bitter voice, which was filled with coldness and determination, could be heard from afar as she advised, “Gregory, if you wish to cooperate with me, show me your sincerity then. You know where I’ll be. Come and look for me within these three days. If I don’t see you in three days, don’t blame me for handing the stuff to someone else.”
As soon as she finished speaking, her figure disappeared.
Gregory did not go after her. Instead, he just stood there quietly and watched her leave.
Looking at her confident and light-hearted expression, he did not feel a sense of humiliation or anger somehow. Rather, her strength caused him to feel slightly fortunate deep inside.
Ultimately, she had grown into who she wanted to be.
...
By the time Gregory walked down the mountain, half an hour had already passed.
Looking at his back from afar, Harold, the chauffeur-cum-assistant, immediately jumped out of the driver’s seat and quickly walked toward him.
“Boss.”
As soon as he noticed that Gregory returned alone with no one at the back, his expression changed.
“Boss, Miss Thomas…”
Gregory’s expression looked incredibly gloomy. Without answering Harold’s question, he directly walked ahead of him toward the car. He got in the car and ordered coldly, “Let’s go.”
Fear flowed through Harold right away. He realized that Gregory was not in a good mood, so he did not dare to question further. He promptly got in the car. He then started the car and drove to the city.
On the other hand, Vickie went back by taxi.
Indeed, she did not feel like being in the same car as the man. If she were to spend several more hours with him, she felt that she might lose control and end up killing him.
