A cunning look appeared in Leia''s eyes. She could not help but wonder what Mandy had in mind, so


    she asked, “What is it?"


    Mandy smiled. She leaned closer to her and whispered in Leia''s ears.


    Leia''s eyes lit up, and she replied, "If we''re going to do it this way, I can help."


    "I''ll take that as a yes, then. Don''t go back on your word this time," said Mandy. She picked up her


    phone, pretending to search for something, but she was actually keeping evidence.


    "If I don''t have to show my face but I can help him get Luca, that won''t be a problem." Leia paused for a


    moment. "But will I still receive the same amount of money?"


    "Of course. That amount of money is just a drop in the ocean for Mr. Matysh." Mandy tapped the save


    button on her phone screen satisfyingly.


    When Mandy found out Luke was not someone who could be messed with, she was extra careful.


    Mandy took the evidence to prevent Leia from ndering her if their plot got exposed. It was also to


    prove that Leia had agreed to do so and Mandy was not alone in this.


    Even if Mandy were to be held ountable, she had to drag someone into this too.


    "Fine. It''s a deal. You should stop helping Matysh to find a way to get his hands on that woman. You


    have to look out for yourself too. If that man has Luca, you''re going to get kicked out. Fish for a quick


    buck while you can," Leia deliberately said to Mandy to remind her that she was merely a recement.


    It was to take revenge on Mandy for twisting the knife in her wound.


    "I''ve always been nning to do so. You don''t have to worry about it. I''m not that dumb." Mandy could


    not be bothered by her mockery.


    Although Mandy was unhappy that Matysh only saw her as Luca''s recement, she had such feelings


    not because she had fallen in love with Matysh.


    Mandy and Leia were people who would put their own interests first. Speaking of being independent,


    Mandy thought she was the most special onepared to others. She was not anyone''s recement.


    If they were really talking about recements, Luca was her recement.


    However, Matysh did not think so. Mandy did not continue to argue with him for the sake of money.


    Matysh had money, and that was why Mandy clung to him. There was no other reason other than that.


    She knew deals that involved money would notst forever. Hence, she had been seizing every chance


    to get more money from Matysh when she could.


    For instance, when they went on vacation at Peace Valley Vi, not only was she enjoying the vacation


    and having fun, but she had also been filling up her bank ount with money whenever she had the


    chance to do so.


    Hence, even though Matysh would get Luca, the money in her bank ount would be enough for her


    to continue living avish lifestyle until she found her next sugar daddy.


    Leia could not help but feel jealous of Mandy when she saw the unconcerned look on her face. Just


    look at how carefree she was.


    The two of them had the same job when they were in New York back then. However, Mandy was still


    living her life carefreely. Not only had Leia''s health worsened, but she also did not even have someone


    to support her...


    Leia clenched her fists and demanded Mandy leave. "Fine. Just text me if you need me to do anything


    in the future. Don''t call. I''m afraid someone will be eavesdropping. Besides, don''te that often. My


    father sent the maid here to keep an eye on me. He''ll suspect something if youe here often.


    Mandy blinked her eyes and asked, “Didn''t you say that I''ll be having dinner here? Kicking me out like


    that will make you look bad.”


    "Did you really think you were staying for dinner? I have to go to the hospitalter. I don''t have time for


    you." Leia came up with an excuse and asked her to leave.


    She did ask the maid to get a steak, but she did not have to let Mandy have it.


    It had been a long time since Leia had steak. She had almost forgotten how it tasted.


    Mandy knew Leia was being stingy. She deliberately smiled and mocked her, "Leia, you call yourself a


    friend for treating me like this? I was the one who introduced you to such a great deal."


    "It''s not considered a sess before I receive the money. Let''s talk about it after I get it. I''m going to


    tidy up my medical records. You may leave." Leia waved at Mandy, telling her that she was busy.


    Mandy secretly cursed Leia, but she had no choice but to leave.


    She initially thought of spending the night here at Leia''s ce. That way, she could save some money


    by not staying in a five-star hotel.


    However, there was nowhere she could go now. She had no choice but to stay in a hotel.


    Mandy left the apartment.

    Someone in the car that was parked beside the road opposite the apartment nced at the time. Then,


    he said to his partner, "This woman was in there for one and a half hours."


    "They were talking for such a long time. I guess they''ve probably finished talking," replied the other


    man.


    "Yes. What a pity. Boss should''ve let us enter the apartment to install some bugging devices or


    recording equipment. That way, we can find out what they were talking about."


    "Even if there''s no equipment, we can still find out what they talked about. Don''t worry, let''s report to


    him first."


    "Okay." The man picked up his phone and reported it to his superior.


    They were Gale''s subordinates, and they were responsible for keeping an eye on Matysh.


    After the people in the car that was parked beside the road saw Mandy get into a taxi, they immediately


    followed her.


    The maid carried the steak back to the apartment, only to see Leia sitting on the sofa. She said, “Ms.


    Norman, here''s the steak."


    "Okay. Put it in the fridge first. Cook it wellter," Leia replied in azy tone. She preferred her steak


    medium well, unlike Mandy who liked it less cooked.


    "It''ll taste different if I put it in the fridge. Anyway, where''s Ms. Sanders?" the maid asked with


    confusion. It was unlikely that Leia did not know about this.


    "Something came up and she left. I''m going to have the steak. I''m not used to having it medium.


    Please cook it for a longer time for me." Leia changed TV channels with a bored look.


    "Ah... Ms. Norman, you can''t have steak," the maid immediately reminded Leia. "The doctor said you''re


    only allowed to have clean food. Steak is oily and salty, and the seasonings areplicated. It''s bad


    for your health."


    Leia could not help but stand up when she listened to the maid nagging. "Shut up!"


    "I''m just concerned about your health," the maid exined helplessly. She could not understand why


    Leia did not know how to appreciate the precious liver donated to her after spending so much money to


    do the transnt and receive treatment. The other patients would have taken good care of their livers.


    Why was Leia doing the opposite instead?


    "It''s just a piece of steak!" Leia replied impatiently, "Why? You just want to have a taste of such an


    expensive steak, right? Is that something you''re allowed to eat? Can you even afford it?"


    The maid felt like she had been grievously wronged. Her face reddened. It was not because she


    wanted to have it but because Leia was not allowed to have it.


    If something happened to Leia after having it, how was she supposed to exin it to the Norman


    family?


    "Ms. Norman, that''s not true. But the steak."


    "How frustrating!" Leia raised her voice and interrupted her. Her body was still weak. Throwing a


    tantrum made her gasp for air.
