Chapter 448 Dying won’t solve the problem

Austin, now dependent on others for survival, couldn’t afford to act rashly. He swallowed his pride and held back the anger rising in his chest.

“That money isn’t in my hands,” he said slowly, “but where it went… you haven’t checked.”

That was as close to the truth as he dared to go.

Calvin asked, “What do you have on you?”

To move such a large sum of money as hush money, there had to be leverage—someone was holding a handle.

Austin didn’t respond to that. Instead, he said, “Calvin, if it makes you feel better, just pretend we all died overseas.”

“Dying won’t solve the problem.”

Austin remained silent.

“How was the money transferred?” Calvin pressed.

Still no answer.

“In New York City?” he asked again.

Austin clenched his jaw, forcing himself not to reveal anything—not a word, not a flicker of expression.

Calvin tapped twice on the document in front of him with a long finger. “I know.”

It wasn’t there—this was at a much higher level.

It wasn’t surprising that Austin didn’t dare speak.
