Chapter 218 Demanding Money
“That’s certainly not the case, Naomi. We’ve known each other for years, why wouldn’t we tell you?”
Agnes smiled awkwardly and added, “We just moved in and haven’t tidied up everything. I was
planning to inform you in a day or two.”
When she moved into Horizon Mirror with her family, she indeed did not want the Laime family to know,
but she could not escape them forever.
The three of them waited for her outside the house and when she returned from grocery shopping, they
caught her.
Naomi grunted and scoffed, “Agnes, are you taking us as fools? We called you and asked if you’ve
moved, but you stammered!
“I know what you’re thinking. You don’t want us to know that you moved into a big house so we can’t
get money from you. But can you run from us forever? Don’t forget you are the reason my daughter is
dead! You owed us! And you can never ever repay us!”
She slammed the tea table suddenly, startling Agnes.
Her words pried open Agnes’ old scar.

Her eyes teared up as she apologized profusely.
Darcy and Sky felt terrible when they saw their mother bow repeatedly.
The scene had happened countless times for the past five years.
Even the two of them had done the same.
+25 BONUS
They could not do anything since they owed the Laime family their daughter’s life.
“Ma, stop wasting time on her. If her apology worked, Letty would have come back to life.”
Larry crossed his legs on the tea table and then he looked at Darcy and her family. He said, “I’ll be
straightforward. I want some money to
start a business.”
“How much do you want, Larry?”
Agnes had seen this coming. All she could do was find out the amount and then send the family off.
From the moment they stepped into the house, the living hall became smokey and dirty.
“A million.” Larry waved his finger.
“A million?” Agnes was surprised.
The Laime family asked for money many times before, ranging from fifty-odd thousand to a few
hundred thousand.
Agnes could not do anything and went to borrow money just to fulfill their demands.
This time, Larry asked for an exorbitant amount.
Ptooey!
Lance cleared his throat and spat into the ashtray in front of him.
The noise alone gave Darcy and Sky goosebumps.
Lance cleared his throat again and glared at Agnes. “Look at this house. It cost at least ten million,
right? So what is a million to you? Stop acting poor!”
+25 BONUS
Ten million?
Lance was missing one zero, but Agnes would never tell him the real price of Horizon Mirror.

Quintessential Group. She has all the money of the company, I’m sure she can come up with a million.”
“That money belongs to the company!” Darcy argued.
“I don’t care whose money!” Naomi shouted at Darcy.
She added, “I just know that if your mother didn’t kill my daughter, she would definitely be as successful
as you or better!”
Darcy’s expression turned bitter and helplessly shut her mouth.
Kaze had been observing for a while and finally decided to intervene. He said coldly, “You keep talking
about your daughter but why do I feel like you are using her as a money tree?”
His words silenced the living hall.
Naomi bolted up from the couch like a cat’s tail being stepped on. Who the fuck are you, punk? What
are you talking about?”
“He is Darcy’s stupid husband.”
Larry got on his feet and stared at Kaze. “You useless piece of fuck, this is no place for you to make
noise!”
