Chapter 592


    ?


    I furrowed my brows, "Is it serious?"


    "Not serious, but because of this, I couldn''t protect Ramona in time."


    After hearing that, I knew Pearl wasn''t working alone.


    But this time, she wasn''t pulling the strings from behind the scenes. Instead, she was getting her hands dirty, which I hadn''t anticipated.


    I red at Pearl, "I''ll have someone bring Dorothy over. Now let go of Ramona!"Property of N?)(velDr(a)ma.Org.


    "Do you really think you''re in a position to negotiate with me?"


    Pearl looked smug and confident.


    Ramona appeared weak and didn''t show any signs of resistance,pletely under Pearl''s control.


    I couldn''t help but threaten, "If you''ve poisoned Ramona again, I promise, you''ll pay dearly."


    Pearl wasn''t intimidated by my threat and even let go of Ramona intentionally.


    Ramona''s stagger made my heart nearly leap out of my chest.


    "Ramona!"


    I red at Pearl furiously, teeth clenched, "Dare to let go and see! I assure you, Dorothy won''t get off easy either!"


    Pearlughed mockingly. "All you have are empty threats."


    At this moment, I truly felt powerless.


    I couldn''t get in touch with Gregory. And had no clue where Dorothy was.


    If Pearl decided to push it further, not caring about Dorothy and pushing Ramona...


    I couldn''t bear to think any further, "I''m calling Gregory now to bring Dorothy over."


    As I took out my mobile phone, I warned, "You better hold onto Ramona!"


    But the call went unanswered until it disconnected.


    The more this happened, the more uneasy I felt, worrying if Gregory had encountered some trouble too.


    Could he have been in an ident?


    "Jane!"


    Christine returned after treating her wounds, full of self-me.


    I shook my head, seeing her pale lips, I knew her injuries were severe.


    It was me who should feel guilty for dragging her into this.


    Right now, I had no time to ask how Pearl had suddenly appeared, all my worries tucked away as I quickly said, "Chris, call Dailey right now."


    Christine immediately did as told.


    But no one answered.


    Persistent, she tried several more times.


    Still no response.


    Christine panicked, "Jane..."


    I clenched my fists, turning to Pearl , " I''ll have someone fetch the familytrust documents, we''ll exchangethe Myers estate for Ramona, okay?"


    I was taking a gamble.


    Gambling that Pearl valued the estate more than Dorothy.


    "I knew it, the old hag left the Myers estate to you."


    Bingo.


    I continued to entice, "Yes, I''ve signed the trust documents, the Myers estate is mine now, but can transfer it to you, as long as you let Ramona go."


    "And."


    I pushed the stakes to their highest, "Dorothy will also return to you, unharmed."


    "All I want is Ramona, whatever else you want, I can give to you."


    Pearlughed out loud.


    I could tell she was pleased.


    That kind of happiness thates with achieving one''s goal.


    She scornfully said, "Had you done this earlier, Ramona wouldn''t have suffered so much."


    Just when I thought Pearl was hooked, her expression suddenly twisted into something ferocious.


    "Too bad, you''re too clever for your own good!"


    "Don''t think I don''t know you''re in cahoots with Gregory."


    "If I don''t see Gregory today, I''ll push Ramona down!"


    "Please, don''t—" I was frantic, seeing Ramona teetering on the edge made my heart ache. Especially since today, of all days, I couldn''t reach Gregory.


    "I''ll give youfive minutes. If you can''tbring Gregory here, then prepare to collect Ramona''s body!"


    Just when my heart was sinking to its lowest, a sharp male voice cut through.


    "How about, let''s start with you collecting your daughter''s body?"
