Chapter 472
Louise massaged her temples and said helplessly, “You also know that I’m only his girlfriend. It’s been five years, but he’s still not married to me. What can I do? He’s not a fool. Will he give me the money if I ask him for it?”
Hale pinched her cheek angrily. “I think you’re the one who fucking treats me like a fool! You can just find an excuse to ask Brian for money. I think you just don’t want to give it to me! Louise, let me tell you, don’t even think about getting rid of me. If you push me too far, I’ll tell everyone about us. If Brian finds out that you have been with me before, what do you think he’ll do?”
Louise’s heart turned cold. She looked at him and tried to soften her tone. “Hale, what good will it do you to tell others about us? Although Brian is not married to me yet, Grace is already dead. He will marry me sooner or later. Can you wait?”
Hale sneered. “Don’t try to fool me. Hurry up and give me the money!”
Louise secretly clenched her fists. “How much do you owe?”
Hale said, “The interest is about a hundred and twenty thousand dollars. Give me two hundred thousand dollars, so that I won’t have to look for you again in a while.”
Louise widened her eyes in surprise. “Two hundred thousand dollars?”
Hale said matter-of-factly, “Yes!”
Louise said, “I… I don’t have that much money!”
Hale said, “I don’t care how much you have! Are you going to give it to me or not?”
Louise pleaded, “Two hundred thousand dollars is a lot. Hale, I’m indeed a little tight on money now. I’ll pay the loan for you first. Can you wait for me to pay for your interest later? It’s Valentine’s Day soon. Brian will definitely give me a gift. Then, I’ll have the money to give you.”
Hale snorted coldly. “Don’t try to brush me off! I need two hundred thousand dollars right away. There’s no room for negotiation!”
Louise said, “I…”
Hale said, “If you don’t give it to me, I’ll tell everyone about you killing Ava Adkins and that child. We’ll die together!”
Louise gasped. “Don’t be rash! Let’s
talk
swegs out. Neither of us wante belongs to en.kikistoric Boney t
jail, right? I’ll get the
to you as soon as possible
Hale asked, “How long do you need?”
Louise said, “A week.”
Hale warned, “You’d better not play any tricks on me. Otherwise, you know the consequences!”
Louise nodded. “Can I go down now?”
Only then did Hale put her down. She walked to her car. She had only taken two steps when she saw Nova leaning against the white Bentley turning the car key in her hand and looking at her with a faint smile.
Louise gasped and thought, ‘When did she get here? What did she see? Nova had not gotten off work when I left. She should have just arrived.’
Louise swallowed her saliva to calm
herself down. She walked over and
greeted her. “Miss Nova, what a coincidence. Did you just get off work?”
The smile on Nova’s face rose as she raised her eyebrows slightly. “Miss Adkins, didn’t Mr. Francis pick you up from work today?”
Louise said, “Mr. Francis has a dinner party today. I just met an old friend in the garage and chatted with him.”
“Oh, really?” Nova smiled and said lightly, “It’s getting late. Be careful on your way home.”
With that, she opened the car door, started the engine, and drove away.
Louise swallowed hard and thought, ‘Why did she seem so calm?’
If she wasn’t interested in what had just happened, she definitely wouldn’t have leaned against the car door and waited for him to get out.
