Chapter 929:

After thirty agonizing seconds, the representative spoke again, reciting a long string of digits. “The money was transferred to this account. Do you recognize the recipient p>

Isabella’s heart pounded as Rosie put the phone on speaker. Panic clawed at her chest, but she recognized the number instantly. “That’s Denis’s account! He’s the one who wired me money before. That jerk p>

Isabella’s scream filled the room as she crumpled into tears. “Mom, all my money is gone! What are we going to do now p>

As she wept, Ruby’s phone buzzed unexpectedly. Ruby glanced down at the screen…

She looked at her phone, the color draining from her face. All the money she had—seven million—was also gone.

Shocked and trembling, Ruby stared at the empty balance, gripping her phone tightly. “Isabella, my money is gone as well! Everything we have is gone! How can we survive now p>

A shadow fell over Rosie’s face as confusion took hold. “What’s Denis up to? Is he doing this to please Judy p>

As a man, Jordy understood men better than they did. He offered his take, saying, “Maybe Denis is cutting Isabella off for good. Or maybe Judy caught wind that he’d been sending money to other women p>

He hesitated briefly, then said, “You could either involve the police or confront Denis yourself p>

Ruby glared bitterly at the near-empty balance on her phone screen and hurled every profanity she knew.

Then, she cried, “How am I supposed to live like this? What’s left for me now? Denis is a jerk! Dating my daughter all this time and now taking all the money back… He is completely heartless! How could he do this p>

Fury gripped her chest, driving her to curse Denis over and over without pause. Nearby, Isabella frantically dialed Mack’s number, anxiety rising with each unanswered ring. She whispered nervously to herself, “Why isn’t he answering? Could something bad have happened p>

Wild scenarios rapidly overtook her thoughts. She imagined Mack getting beaten senseless by thugs from the Wagner Group, then being kicked out of his office. She envisioned his bank accounts emptied as well.

Just as the call was about to end automatically, Mack finally answered.

“Mack, your money—it’s still safe, right?” Isabella blurted out desperately. Ruby instantly ceased sobbing, straining her ears, waiting for Mack’s reply.

Even Jordy and Rosie leaned in, eager to hear Mack’s answer.

Baffled, Mack responded, “What are you talking about? My money’s fine. I’m in a meeting, Isabella. Can we talk later p>

Isabella sighed heavily with relief. “Thank God your money hasn’t vanished. If Denis took your money as well, our family would have no choice but to beg for a living p>

“What are you talking about?” Mack said, growing concerned. “Tell me clearly—what happened p>
