She pulled out a bank card from her Louis Vuitton handbag instead.
“Take this. There’re 300 thousand dollars on it. Just promise me that you’ll never show up in front of my brother again, and you’ll leave Forden and never come back. Then the money will be all yours.”
Lucinda furrowed her brow, examining the bank card in Vivien’s hand.
Was Vivien serious? 300 thousand dollars was a paltry sum compared to the cost of the shoes Lucinda had on. Why would she leave town forever for such a small amount?
Vivien noticed the look on Lucinda’s face and thought she was tempted.
This made her even more confident in her plan.
“You grew up in an orphanage. I bet you have never seen this much money in your life. For me, it’s just pocket change for a week. So I think you need it more than I do.”
I recall that you used to beg mom to borrow you money but she turned you down back then. But now, with this money, you can buy whatever you want.
What do you think? Isn’t this a juicy offer?”
There was a hint of excitement in Vivien’s eyes. She continued to pray in her heart that Lucinda took the money.
Vivien was certain that her plan would work. When Lucinda lived with the Roberts family, Amanda cut off all her allowance, and therefore she couldn’t afford nice clothes for so many years.
Vivien knew Lucinda wouldn’t refuse the offer, given her financial situation.
Once Lucinda took the money, Vivien planned to call the police and report it stolen. Then Lucinda would be arrested.
Vivien would then bribe the prison guards to ensure Lucinda suffered there. She would learnt her lesson the hard way. And as a thief, Lucinda wouldn’t be able to turn things around for the rest of her life!
Thinking of the payoff, Vivien’s excitement was almost too much to contain.
Vivien tried to backtrack.

“Sorry, I shouldn’t have said that. I already apologized. Look, since you’re in need of money, just take it.”
Lucinda tilted her head, eyeing Vivien up and down. She saw Vivien’s expression and shook her head sarcastically.
She then took out her phone and sent a text to Malcolm.
“The credit card’s inside my bag in the car. Withdraw one million from the bank for me. I’m in the garden. Hurry!”
Malcolm responded immediately.
“Understood! Give me a few minutes!”
Feeling confident, Lucinda sat down by the fountain and waited.
Vivien was getting a bit angry as Lucinda gave her no attention.
