Cory had no idea what Aubree was thinking about, for his mind was preoccupied with the thoughts of money.
He continued sending her messages of threat.
All of a sudden, Aubree messaged: Okay.How much do you want? I’ll give you anything.
Cory curled his lips in satisfaction and answered: You should’ve said that earlier.
We’ve been working for a while now.
Why did we have to fight for such a long time? Aubree replied impatiently: Cut the nonsense.
How much do you want? Cory mulled over it for a while before messaging: Fifiy million.
I’m sure this ts an amount you can afford, Ms.Pearson.
Cory’s debt was worth twenty million.
As for the remaining thirty million, he intended to use it for another gamble to see if he could rise from the ashes.
If that failed, he could still use the photos to get more money from Aubree.Cory felt that his plan was perfect.
Meanwhile, Aubree was enraged when she saw the number.

get fifty million with just a snap of my jingers? The amount Cory asked made Aubree even more certain about
killing him.
She asked: Where are you? I’m going to meet you in person for the exchange.
This time, you have to delete the photos while I’m watching! Cory soon sent her an address and added: Eleven in
the morning tomorrow.
I’ll be waiting for you to come.
Once he sent the message, he skillfully took out the sim card from his phone and tossed it into the sea before
walking away from the coast.
Right then, Gina had finally gotten the keys and unlocked the door to Aubree’s room.
As she rushed in, she asked, “What happened, Aubred? What was that earlier?”
Right as she said that, she noticed the phone with the shattered screen in Aubree’s hand.
Anyone could figure out that Aubree had thrown the phone.
“Did someone say something to you?” Gina asked with concern.
Aubree was livid, so she fumed at Gina as well, “Nothing! I’m very mad right now, so stop talking to me!”
Gina was startled by her attitude, but at the end of the day, Aubree was still her daughter.
After a moment of recomposing herself, Gina continued to voice her concerns.
Aubree pushed her away and strode toward the door.
Since I’m meeting him tomorrow, I’ll have to assign capable men on this so that Cory won’t be able to escape.
“Aubree, where are you going?”
Gina was worried when she realized Aubree was leaving without having her meal.
Aubree continued her way out of the mansion without sparing her mother another glance.
The next morning, Cory waited for Aubree to come with the money at the abandoned factory they had previously
met at.
When it was eleven, footsteps echoed in the factory.
Hearing them, Cory stood up and peeked around the corner.
Aubree was standing at the entrance by herself with a bank card in her hand, looking around for him.
“Cory? Where are you? Come out here! I have to see you delete the photos with my own two eyes!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmRight as Cory was about to respond to her, he spotted half of someone’s body at the back of a pillar behind Aubrec,
and that person was even holding a gun.
Once he spotted that person, he spotted the rest.
There were over dozens of people, excluding him and Aubree in the factory.
As Aubree walked further into the factory, the people slowly inched closer too.
Cory sneered.
“Ms.Pearson, how dare you pull dirty tricks like these? Have you forgotten what I work as?”
Right as he said that, he ran to the window on the second floor and leaped out of it without hesitation.
In the next moment, various voices reverberated in the factory.
“Over there! Get him!”
Cory started his car with steady hands and sped toward the path he had planned out.
By the time Aubree’s men ran out of the factory and went back to start their cars, Cory was long gone.
