Chapter 0042
No matter the reason for giving her contact information to Dylan, Suzy was irritated, and someone would have to pay the price for it.
Dylan was just about to call Victor when his phone rang–it was Victor calling him first.
“Mr. Wright, are we still on the same team or what? One minute I’ve got your back, and the next, you’re throwing me under the bus!“.
“Did Nadia find out?”
“You’ve got somænerve asking me that!” Victor was fuming. “We’ve been buddies for decades. Some people would take a bullet for their best friend, but you? You stabbed me in the back!!
“You think I did it?”
“If it wasn’t you, then who…” Victor paused for a second. “Damn, could it have been T? Did you say something you shouldn’t have, pissed her off, and now she’s taking it out on me?”
Dylan frowned. “What’s her usual price?”
“Anywhere from a hundred thousand to one million dollars. Why? Did you insult her because you thought it was too expensive?”
Dylan fell silent.
A hundred thousand to one million dollars, but she asked him for a billion dollars…
Victor was still ranting on the other end, but Dylan, fed up, hung up on him.
After the call ended, Dylan stared at the chat for a while before finally exiting.
One billion dollars?
He wasn’t a fool.
Besides, he refused to believe no one else could find what he was looking for.
With no response from Dylan, Suzy was about to block him. There was no reason to keep him around–they didn’t have the kind of relationship where casual chats were a thing.
Just as she was about to hit the confirm button, Allen walked in with a bowl of freshly made Soup. It was steaming hot, and after setting it on the table, he rubbed his ears from the heat. “Drink up and get some rest afterward.
Chapter 0042
The number two ranked assassin in the world, the infamous Black Lion, cooking and making food for her every day–she really was lucky!
Suzy got up and walked over to the sofa. When she saw it was a hearty bowl of stew, she raised an eyebrow. “Are you trying to fatten me up?”
In just over ten days, she’d already put on a few pounds, and at this rate, it was starting to get a little worrying.
“What, don’t want it? I’ll take it away then.”
Suzy quickly picked up the spoon and took a sip. “Anything happening with the Harlow family these past few days?”
“Claude knows he’s no match for Julian, so he never planned to fight him for anything. But even so, Julian still hasn’t let him off the hook.
Speaking of Julian, Allen shook his head in frustration.
“You have no idea what that guy did. He sent his own wife to seduce Claude, then turned around and accused Claude of being jealous of him. Now the patriarch’s attitude toward Claude is worse than ever–he’s even thinking about kicking him out of the Harlow family.
Suzy paused mid–sip. “And Dylan still hasn’t made a move?”
Allen shook his head. “Not yet!”
Several days had passed, and he wasn’t worried about Anne dying from the poison?
If pushing him wasn’t an option, then….
Just as Suzy was about to speak, Allen’s phone rang. She couldn’t tell who was on the other end, but his expression immediately darkened, his face hardening like a storm was
brewing.
After hanging up, he looked at her and said, “Someone wants you dead.”
Suzy laughed instead of getting angry. “Who?”
