Malvina, are you refusing to help me now? Didnt you claim your father likes me and would invest 50 billion if necessary?
Malvinas complexion drained of color in an instant, her heart sinking as her web of lies threatened to ensnare her.
Her mind scrambled to find an escape route.
Suddenly, Bryson interjected, his voice cutting through the tense silence. Are you hesitant to help, or is it that your father simply cant scrpe together 10 billion? Maybe your identity is fake too.
His words hit like a rock hurled into calm waters, sending waves of doubt rippling through the room.
ALL eyes turned to look at Malvina.
Beads of sweat formed on Malvinas forehead as she responded hastily, My dad can definitely come up with the money! Ten billion is nothing to him? Ill give him a ring right now!
She gripped her phone tightly, struggling to keep her composure.
Tyshawns face lit up with hope. I knew you could do it, Malvina!
However, Malvina hesitated to make the call. Her smile, though present, seemed strained.
Knocking out the enemy with one hit was just not as thrilling. It was far more entertaining to see them squirm like a frog in heating water, comfortable at first but later unable to escape the scorching heat until they were completely worn out.
As Bryson watched this, he arched an eyebrow and asked, Why havent you made the call yet? Are you afraid?
I Ill make the call outside. Its not suitable here, she stammered.
Bryson didnt stop her, signaling for security to let her through.
Gripping her phone tightly, Malvina stepped out, her thoughts racing.

After what felt like an eternity, the call finally connected. Hello? Is it done?
There is a problem. The Mitchell Group is in deep trouble, and Tyshawn expects me to He wants me to come up with 1 billion to help! My identity is a sham. Where on earth am I supposed to conjure up that kind of money? If I fail, they will find out everything!
The voice on the other end let out a cold chuckle. I warned you to take the money and leave. But you got greedy. You wanted to marry him and share his wealth. And now, you have landed in trouble!
Malvina gripped the phone tighter, lowering her voice to a near whisper. Whats the use in pointing fingers now? You are the one who chose the target. I have given you millions. Are you seriously thinking of abandoning me now?
The voice on the other end remained relaxed. You brought this upon yourself. Im not to blame for your choices. How can you accuse me of abandoning you?
You! Malvina knew he wouldnt own up to it. She bit her lip, frustration bubbling up. I have put my life on the line countless times and handed over more than half of what I earned! If you ditch me now, Ill reveal the truth! Neither of us will get off scot-free! Understand?
As Malvina grew increasingly frantic, the person on the line attempted to calm her down.
Why are you panicking? Did I ever say I wouldnt help you? Listen, tell them that 10 billion is too much to get immediately, but it will be ready by next Monday. Ill arrange an escape for you, with a new identity, so you can get out of there. However, forget about the money. You wont be able to take it with you. Ill leave you enough money to get by for a while.
