Martha glanced around furtively. After making sure she was in the right place, she knocked on the rusty iron door.
The door opened quickly, and a sneaky guy with a pockmarked face appeared. He had triangular eyes, a small head, and a deep scar on the corner of his eye.
“Are you alone?” the guy asked Martha as he looked around.
Martha was taken aback at the sight of him. She stepped back, wrinkled her nose, and said, “What smell is that? It stinks. I’m alone!”
She regretted it now.
Why did she find such an unreliable person? If not for time constraints, she would not have thought of it.
“Hehe, Madam, please come in.”
With that said, the man with the pockmarked face invited Martha in with a smiley face. In the yard, there were five or six people. All of them were sloppy and dirty.
“Boss, she’s here.”
Pockmarks said to the tall guy in the yard who was sharpening the hatchet.
Seeing this situation, Martha felt a little flustered. After all, she was alone in the suburbs.
“Just these people?” Martha mustered her courage, glanced around a few times, and asked suspiciously.
The brawny man sharpening the hatchet said directly, “All of us are used to doing this. Madam, please rest assured. The job will be done beautifully.”
Martha complained internally, but she had no other choice. She said, “Okay, do it tomorrow. I’ll trick my daughter out and you’ll abduct her when the time comes. But let me remind you, my daughter is pregnant. You need to be gentle and don’t hurt her. I’m just using her to threaten my son-in-law to get something from him.”
Martha had come up with a plan. She would use Wynn to threaten Philip and get the jade thumb ring from him.
She had searched through the villa several times these days and confirmed that the jade thumb ring was on Philip.
Based on Philip’s temper, she would definitely not be able to get it from him.
In that case, she would have to outsmart him.
She said a few more words before she hurried out of the yard, took a taxi, and left.
After Martha left, Pockmarks asked with a grin, “Boss, why did you ask for so little this time? It’s not enough to divide between us.”
The brawny man smacked Pockmarks on the back of his head and said with a smile, “Idiot! When the time comes and the woman is in our hands, isn’t it up to us to state the price?”
When Pockmarks and the men behind him heard this, it suddenly became clear to them. They could not help but admire the wisdom of their leader.
“Boss, you’re so smart!”
Here, Martha returned to the villa and saw Wynn still with Mila in the living room.
She thought about it for a while and plastered a kind smile on her face before saying to Wynn, “Wynnie, I need to buy something at the mall tomorrow. Why don’t you come with me?”
Wynn replied without hesitation, “Sure.”
