She had already invited these three individuals here, and if she couldn’te up with the money, who


    knew what these desperados might do?


    After careful thought, Nichole said, “It’s just a million dors? As long as Sophie is out of the picture


    and I be Mrs. Burke, how could I possibly be short on money?”


    She approached the three men and said, “I’ll give you $100,000 as a down payment. If you can take


    care of Sophie, I’ll pay you the rest once I be Mrs. Burke,”


    The men exchanged nces, and one of them couldn’t help but sneer. He stepped forward, pinning


    Nichole against the door, which instantly drained the color from her face. “How do we know you can


    actually be Mrs. Burke? Cash upfront is the rule around here.” The man said menacingly,


    “$100,000 for the down payment, not a penny less! Otherwise, I’ll start chopping off your fingers one by


    one!”


    Nichole’s face turned sour, but she tried to remain calm. “I’ve only got $100,000 on me right now! Do


    you know the Burke family? If you kill me, you’re killing the future heir of the Burke family in my womb!”


    Hearing this, the man hesitated.


    Nichole continued, “Think about it. James and his wife have been at odds for a long time and should


    have divorced by now. If you take care of Sophie, I can use the child in my belly to secure my position


    as Mrs. Burke! How could I not have money then? I promise you, once I be James‘ wife, not only


    will I pay you a million dors, but I’ll add another million on top!”


    “Words aren’t enough. We need it in writing!”


    The man released Nichole and then pulled out a piece of paper. After writing something on it, he put it


    in front of Nichole.


    It clearly stated that if the money wasn’t paid in the agreed time, she would pay with her life.


    Nichole turned pale, but soon, she steeled her heart. To take down Sophie, she had to be willing to pay


    the price!


    High risk for a high reward. That was the lesson she had learned over the years.


    With that thought, Nichole quickly signed the paper.


    Katy was standing by, trembling all over. This was a gamble with their lives! One wrong move could be


    fatal.


    “Where will you get the $100,000?”


    That was already a lot of money, and they couldn’t possiblye up with it!


    The next second, Nichole opened the nearby drawer. Katy tried to stop her, but it was toote. Nichole


    took out a bundle of cash from the cab and handed it directly to the three men.


    Katy’s face changed, and she hurried forward. “No, no! That’s my safety money! How can you use my


    safety money for a hit?”


    Nichole forcefully pulled Katy back and then said to the men, “Take the money and make it quick. I


    want Sophie gone!”


    The men looked at each other and then walked out of the apartment.


    Katy wanted to chase after them but was pushed to the ground by Nichole. Nichole coldly said, “It’s just


    $100,000. Once I take my ce as Mrs. Burke, I’ll have more money than you can imagine. Do you


    want to clear your debts or not?”


    Katy heard the words ‘clearing debts‘ and was immediately lost for words. Now, they could only rely on


    Nichole.


    Katy’s voice trembled. “If you can’t be Mrs. Burke, then I…


    Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org.


    “I’m carrying James‘ child. Once Sophie is gone, the position of Mrs. Burke is definitely mine.” A cold


    light flickered in Nichole’s eyes.


    In the evening, a message popped up on Sophie’s phone, a message from James. [Get ready. I’m


    sending someone to pick you up.]


    She casually asked, [Where to?]


    There was no reply, so Sophie could only get ready. Just as she stepped out of her room, she saw a


    ck car, but Colt wasn’t the person who stepped out.
