Chapter 928
928:
The moment Rosie saw Jordy’s arrogant smirk, her annoyance flared. He always strutted around, acting as if he were smarter than everyone else. She glared at him scornfully. “Quit making excuses. You’re useless. You can’t even handle something this simple.”
With a dismissive snort, Jordy replied, “What’s with that attitude? Have you forgotten who’s always been by your side, loyal from day one? Denis stabbed you in the back. Tina’s completely worthless. I’m the only one who’s both competent and trustworthy.”
A shadow crossed Rosie’s expression as she slowly raised an eyebrow, the pieces finally falling into place. Now, she understood why Denis had turned on her, and why she hadn’t noticed the signs before.
She concluded that Clive must’ve had powerful backing from the start; no common thug could’ve risen through the ranks so quickly.
Rosie responded, “Without me, your family would’ve long since fallen to the Harpers and Ethan. Do you think you have the right to challenge me? Show some gratitude and speak respectfully. Remember, I put you in your position, and I can take you down just as easily.”
Though irritation flashed across Jordy’s face, he reluctantly acknowledged Rosie’s power. Even the Harpers treaded carefully around her. Begrudgingly, he softened his tone. “Fine. No need to get worked up. I’ve done everything I could and brought you every piece of information. But I simply can’t find out where Clive lives.”
Meanwhile, Isabella felt herself spiraling into panic. The fear that Denis might discard her completely haunted her. Yet, a stubborn hope lingered. Perhaps Denis would keep his old habits, seeking comfort elsewhere even after marrying Judy.
Despite Judy’s imposing presence, Isabella reasoned that she might still retain Denis’ favor if he didn’t change. But if he truly abandoned her, she wondered how she would survive.
Without Denis, she feared she would become worthless to Rosie.
Just then, her phone buzzed rapidly, pulling her back into reality. She unlocked it hurriedly, bewildered as notifications flooded her screen, piling up for a while before finally stopping.
Fingers trembling, Isabella opened the notifications. Her blood ran cold. Each alert showed massive withdrawals—ten million, thirty million, seventy million, thirty million… She froze, hands shaking as she reached the final notification: a transfer of exactly 17.89 million, leaving her balance completely empty.
“Rosie,” Isabella stammered, pressing the phone toward her. “All my money is gone. How could this happen?”

Ruby leaned in, eyes wide. The screen confirmed their worst fears. She sank onto the bed, her legs giving way. “Oh my God… Who could do this?”
Rosie snatched the phone and scrolled through the alerts again. They were unmistakably real. Without a word, she dialed the bank.
“Hello, what happened to all the money in this account?”
A calm voice replied, “We were about to contact you. Two hundred seventy million was transferred from your account in seven minutes. Did you authorize these transactions?”
The representative’s poise only heightened their panic. “Absolutely not! Our account was hacked. You must fix this immediately and get our money back,” Rosie snapped.
“One moment, please. I’ll trace where the funds were sent.”
