Chapter 155 Extortion
In the small courtyard, a gentle breeze blew and the fragrance of flowers was all around.
But Amber stood still and her expression was not as radiant as before. Her expression was gloomy and
her eyes were wandering.
The thing in the envelope was like a thunderbolt on a clear day that destroyed her wonderful mood and
immediately throw her into a depression. It was a photograph! In the photograph was Jack and
Katherine facing each other at the Blue Rose Western Restaurant. Were they together again? If so,
then why did he want to propose to me?
At that moment, Amber was flustered and her mind was blank. She stuffed the photograph back into
the envelope and turned to enter the room.
Steve and Rosie were drinking tea and were startled when they saw Amber. The couple saw the staff
of the Four Impressions Club deliver an envelope and saw their daughter’s behavior change
immediately after she looked at the contents of the envelope.
“Amber, what was in it?” Steve asked.
Amber walked in and hurriedly hid the envelope behind her. She looked at her parents and shook her
head and forced a smile, “Nothing, it’s nothing, father.”
After she said, she turned to walk to the bedroom. How could her actions escape the eyes of Steve and
Rosie? Steve wanted to rush to question her but was stopped by Rosie.
“She already said that it was nothing,” Rosie said.
Steve became anxious, “Do you believe her when she said that there was nothing?”
“Our daughter has grown up.” Rosie shook her head helplessly, “You cannot always protect her like a
little girl. You will only make things difficult for her if you force her to tell you things that she doesn’t wish
to say.”
Steve paused and ground his teeth helplessly.
Back in her bedroom, Amber took out the photograph again and looked at it in a daze. Her eyes slowly
turned red and her nose started to water. No matter how she endured, the tears started to drop from
the corner of her eyes.
Amber collapsed into the bed and used the pillow to cover her head and then pulled up the blanket to
cover herself entirely. She was worried that her parents would hear her cries and cause them to worry.
Just as Amber was hurting to the core.
At the DT Real Estate Agency.
Lone Wolf placed an envelope onto Jack’s table.
“Who delivered it?” Jack asked.
Lone Wolf shook his head and said, “The security guard of the building picked it up from the ground.
The envelope has your name on it and so he brought it up.”
“Next time just throw away things like that,” Jack said and waved for Lone Wolf to leave.
He hesitated for a moment before opening the envelope. A photograph and a note fell out of it at the
same time. When he saw the photograph, a ‘boom’ exploded in Jack’s head. His calm expression
suddenly turned ferocious and furious. The veins at the corner of his eyes started to throb and twitch.
It was a photograph of him sitting opposite Katherine. That was a very short meeting to bid farewell to
her. But the photograph seemed to capture a different meaning. He picked up the note furiously,
ground his teeth, and he pinched the note so tightly that the note ripped.
The message was simple: Give me a hundred million if you don’t want Amber to find out!
There was an account number below the words. As he saw the account number, Jack’s fury raged
intensely. He ground his teeth and said, “So you’ve planned and intentionally blackmail?”
Jack was familiar with this account number because, over the previous three years, most of his money
was transferred to this account to satisfy the Parry family’s appetite! This was Katherine’s bank card!
“Katherine, okay, you’re ruthless! You people of the Parry family are ruthless!”
Jack was trembling and ground his teeth furiously. He felt as though his chest was like a volcano, “A
hundred million? So it’s just a hundred million, I’ll give you, damn it, I’ll give you!”
He didn’t care about money. He once struggled for money but now money was just a bunch of numbers
to him. Not to mention a hundred million yuan. Even if it was a billion yuan he was also willing to give
as long as he can protect Amber’s feelings!
This relationship didn’t come easy and he cherished it absolutely. Whether was it the way Amber
treated him or her parents treated him, he felt that this relationship was very precious. If Amber saw
this photograph, then it would ruin his marriage proposal at the end of the month.
Furthermore, if Katherine had planned for this, would it only be this one photograph of them sitting face
to face? Jack would not be surprised if there were other unimaginable photographs in the future.
He continued to take deep breaths to suppress his anger. Jack’s expression was frosty and ferocious
but grinned and slowly took up his phone.
He sent Katherine a short message: The day after I’ll personally deliver to you! Deliver to your entire
family!
Smack! He violently slammed the phone onto the table and the room fell dead silent.
In the Parry Family.
Katherine had packed her luggage and leaned back lazily onto the chair next to the window. She Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
looked at the empty room as her mind was filled with memories.
Slowly, her eyes turned red. Only when she experienced it would she understand. Only when she lost it
would she cherish it. Her dreams were shattered and she woke up from them. Her obsessive hatred for
Jack had now dissipated.
Katherine stretched herself and laughed, “Once I finally leave this place, perhaps this nightmare will
soon be forgotten!”
Beep! The phone message notification rang.
Katherine picked up her phone and saw the message from Jack. She was dazed but started to grin and
then smile.
She placed her phone down and smiled radiantly, “Then let’s have a final farewell.”
Outside.
Kieran’s expression was gloomy as he packed all that he wanted to take into the suitcase. He took up a
family photo from the table, smiled bitterly, and then stuffed it into the suitcase. They had found a buyer
for the house and the transactions can be completed tomorrow.
Perhaps they will finally have some peace when they moved to another place. When he thought of this,
Kieran’s heart began to ache when he looked towards Katherine’s room. In the end, he looked towards
the master bedroom, and his eyes filled with hatred.
He was a teacher and dignity was the most important to him. Now, because of dignity, he had to resign
and leave this city.
“Sigh…” Kieran heaved a sigh and continued to pack.
Inside the master bedroom, Tommy and Elissa sat together.
Tommy hesitated and asked, “Mom, did you really demand a hundred million yuan? Isn’t that too
much?”
“Is it? Jack will not care about the hundred million. He has the money.” Elissa said greedily.
Tommy shook his head, “No, he certainly has that much money but I’m worried that he won’t give any.”
“Won’t give?” Elissa’s eyebrows twitched and said with confidence, “If he doesn’t give, then he better
get ready to be dumped by Amber. I have some photographs and we will have our ways with him!”
“He had caused so much harm to our family. Now we even have to leave the city! If I don’t fight back
and get what he owes us, then I’ll never rest in peace!”
“A hundred million…” Tommy was eagerly anticipating.
Elissa maintained her ferocious glare and grinned sinisterly. She didn’t intend at stopping with just this
demand!
