"Natalie, have you gotten your hands on the Jennings's money?" Holly asked.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNatalie took a deep breath and sneered, "No. They kickedout of their game. It's embarrassing, really. It tooka whole day, and I still haven't managed to wrap my head around this." Holly was shocked, as she had never imagined Natalie to fail. From her perspective, Natalie was too smart and vicious for that.
"I know that you won't work withanymore because I don't have money for you. Making ends meet foris going to be a problem from now on... I thought that killing Dean Jennings would mean that I would get to live my life in peace, but life is still as hellish as it ever was." Natalie sighed pathetically.
"Are you trying to play the victim here?" Holly mocked. "Do you really think you're suffering worse than I am? You have no idea what kind of life I'm living right now." "Didn't I pay you a large sum of money? It should have been sufficient for you to live in any country you want," Natalie said in confusion.
"I don't have the courage to do that. What if any one of you tried to kill me? I can't stay in one place for too long," Holly said without a moment of hesitation. "I guess I won't have to worry about you anymore, since Elliot found out that you were the one who hiredto trap them." "Forget it." Humiliated, Natalie said, "It's my fault for being overly ambitious when I didn't have the ability to support my desires. I was too arrogant." "I feel insulted, somehow. At least you got to experience a good life for a time. I haven't gotten to enjoy life for even a day." Holly began to talk about herself. "You keep thinking that I know something about Ivy. If I really did, why wouldn't I go straight to Elliot and tell him? Do you think I'm stupid? Even if I don't trust him, I've met Avery before. She's a good person. I can sense that. She will keep her promise. She toldthat if I brought her to Ivy, not only would she spare my life, she would pay me. I would have to be a fool to continue to work with you instead of her." Holly's frank words sobered Natalie and left her feeling utterly disappointed.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe had reached out to Holly before and had given her a lot of money. At present, it was safe to assthat she was not going to have her money returned because Holly was definitely not going to do that.
"You are good at scamming people, Holly! Were you going to keep lying toif I had gotten any money from the Jennings Family?" Natalie sneered. "My heart bleeds at the thought of how much I've paid you." "You were the one who insisted on paying me. I didn't ask for it. I didn't say a thing when you gavethe money, so why are you blamingnow? When have I ever mentioned anything about knowing where Ivy is? I haven't, right?" Holly's words rendered Natalie speechless.
"I don't know where Ivy is right now, but I have leads." Unable to stand Natalie's silence, Holly continued, "I've been searching for Ivy ever since I escaped from Ylore. The rest of my life depends on that child. If I find her, Elliot and Avery will definitely spare me." "You have leads? So you know where she is? Holly, let's work together! Both of us have nothing, and if we work together, we might just be able to get to Ivy before Elliot does. Let's make a plan and use that child as a bargaining chip to get Elliot to pay us." Feeling her confidence restored, Natalie said, "If we want to get that money, we can't do this on our own. We need to hire someone else to approach Elliot." Holly could not help but waver.
et "Natalie, you might not know much about me. I might look frail, but if you dare stabin the back, you won't survive. Don't think that I'm afraid of you simply because you killed Dean Jennings. I've killed more people than you can count." Though she wanted to work with Natalie, Holly was still concerned that Natalie was plotting against her. "You don't have to threaten me, Holly. I have no money and no power. Even if I wanted to plot against you, I am incapable of doing a thing. I just really want to get my hands on smoney and go somewhere to live the rest of my life in peace." "I want that, too, but..." าวน "Don't hesitate any longer! Let's work together to earn smoney! Once we get it, we will split it in half. I promise that I won't plot against you!" Natalie said sincerely. "Where are you now? Let's meet and talk! I can go to you, or you can cto find me. Both work. If you are concerned, we can meet outside."
