CELINE’S POV “Post it then…” I warned, smiling. “However, you should be sure to first greet your parents before you spread the video. I suppose that they resided in New York for such a significant amount of time, thus… If they were suddenly compelled to leave this place, I’m afraid they wouldn’t be able to adjust to the change…” And at that very moment, her hand that was clutching her phone froze, and she spoke with a firm tone. “W-what exactly do you mean?” I pulled out my phone, accessed the message that had arrived from Uncle Karl, and then read it out loud to all of them in their presence. The Calhoun girl, whose parents are Josephine and Brandon… is not actually Brandon Calhoun’s biological child; rather, she’s the result of/ an extramarital liaison with another woman. Her father was the owner of a company that employed not more or less than one hundred people and had an annual revenue of approximately ten million dollars. Melanie Calhoun has an older sibling who has recently launched a new business and is in the beginning phases of its development. There are less than thirty employees working for him across the entire organization…” I gazed at her astonished expression when I finished reading the message. She must be wondering how I found out a very important fact about her. “The company that my husband works for, employs ten thousands of people…” I continued. “Twenty of these organizations have their roots in the form of subsidiary businesses located around the nation. In addition to that, members of the Anderson family operate businesses in the tourism, hospitality, and food service industries. Due to the fact that they bring in more than a billion dollars every year, their annual 1/6 contribution has consistently been ranked first in New York. Do you not believe that my spouse will become upset if he learns that his sister is the target of bullying in her school?” “Definitely…” Jessie yelled out from my peripheral vision.
“Right! Cynthia is the apple of my husband’s eye… and a reasonable person would feel enraged about it. In addition to this, there are a large number of CEO’s that are interested in courting my spouse. By the way, the guy who is your father’s most important business partner is also the one who has always desired to get close to my husband. Do you believe he will collaborate with your dad in the years to come?” “You… you’re such a bi tch!” she screamed, her eyes were wide with fear. “B itch…?” I just let out a chuckle. “Darling… that’s not even the worst of what I have in store for you yet. Are you interested in giving it a shot?” Even the three minions were taken aback, and one of them leaned over to Melanie and whispered something in her ear. “What steps should we take at this time?” Melanie’s response, which she delivered with a callous glint in her eye, was, “Kill them; no one will ever find out…” “Really? You’re going to kill all of us?” I smiled. “You have a lot of guts to do that…” After that, I looked across at Jessie, “Have you gotten word to the people whom I asked you to notify about this? Are they here yet?” Jessie was astonished. She locked her gaze with mine for a brief period of time, and I made sure to hold it firmly. Hoping she’d get my message and then she said, “Oh… yeah, I called them. They should 216 have arrived by this time…” “Who did you call?” Melanie asked her question in a trembling voice. “Nothing…” I said, shrugging. “I just requested her to contact my husband to alert him that I’m here having a good time with my friends ” Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
“I’m so sorry… We are merely acting in accordance with Melanie’s directives. In all honesty, this has nothing to do with any of us…” stated one of the other young women. Melanie appeared as though she was going to have a heart attack when she saw that her friends were beginning to throw her under the bus; nonetheless, she still refused to acknowledge that she was defeated. “Don’t be afraid of her! She is merely attempting to deceive us!” she yelled out. “But… we don’t kill people!” “That’s right! We agreed to beat her up, but to kill her? No f ucking way! The other girls all shook their heads, probably because they lacked the courage to speak up. Melanie’s eyes were initially wide with fear, but they quickly turned crimson with rage as she hurriedly fished out a dagger from her bag. ” You’re all worthless!” she yelled at them. “I’ll get it done even if you can’t!” “Oh… how proud your parents would be once they found out that their little baby girl already has the will to kill at such a young age…” I pretended to be so dissatisfied with her that I had to shake my head. Are you going to murder her or do you want to kill me? Or do you believe that the police in New York are ineffective because they are ” 3/6 unaware of what is taking place exactly at this moment?” Her anxiety manifested itself as a widening of her eyes. “If we were just ordinary people, your family might be able to cover everything up, but you’re actually threatening the wife and sister of Sebastian Anderson, one of the most powerful men in New York City…’ ‘I said dramatically. “Do you think that in order to make up for it, how many members of your family still have their lives?”
When the dagger landed on the ground with a loud clank, I couldn’t help but cr ack a grin. “I’m… I…,” she murmured. Finally, she had shown how scared she was. “Stop stammering…” I commanded, drawing nearer to her as I did so.” Since you’ve admitted that you want the twenty million dollars, go ahead and get them. Bring it in before the beginning of the following week. If that happens, finding a solution to this problem won’t be simple…” I said before putting out my hand. “Give me the video, sweetheart…” “Twenty million dollars?” her eyes went wider, shaking her head in disbelief. “Where could I come up with such a large sum of money??” “If the money is still not ready by the following Monday, then I will ask your parents for it personally…” I stated. “I have no doubt that your dad would be delighted to hand it over to me… However, I am unable to guarantee how things will turn out for you at that time…” I pulled the phone out of her grasp and immediately began scrolling through the gallery in search of the video. “To whom have you sent this video?” After deleting the video without first viewing its contents, I posed the question. “And where’s the original one?”
