Chapter 6

مؤلف: Nameless
Over the phone, Victoria demanded, "What did you say?"

Her brows furrowed tightly.

"Mr. Richards died of an acute condition. Mr. Jamison has instructed me to make sure the death certificate is collected when it's ready, and—"

"How much did Eli pay you?" Victoria screamed at Henry.

Henry was on the verge of tears. "I swear it's true, Ms. Richards! I worked for Mr. Richards for three decades, and he saved my life before! I would never joke about his death!"

Victoria's phone slipped from her

    "Don't make it sound like I bought Eli," Whitney retorted. "Even if he didn't agree to marry me, if he came to me for help at a time like that, I would've helped him no matter what. I'm not like you, Victoria. I wouldn't take the money for my own dad's medical treatment and spend it on gifts for my so-called assistant.""Why, you—"Whitney's face whipped to the side from the slap. She stumbled backward, and I hastily caught her."Why didn't you dodge her?" I cried out.With a concerned look on my face, I wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth. She grabbed my hand and looked at me pitifully. "She's so violent, Eli. It hurts so much…"I couldn't help pulling her into a tighter embrace."You!" Victoria's fists clenched again.I stood defensively in front of Whitney. "Stop wasting your breath! She's the woman I'm marrying!"Victoria ground her teeth. "By all means, go ahead. But first, let's see if you can get a divorce from me!"…Just like that, despite having prepared a

    "I just got a call from my dad! He's on vacation in the Mallerine Islands right now! How could he possibly be dead?" Victoria snapped at Angela.After a brief silence, Angela reported, "Ms. Richards, flights to the Mallerine Islands have been put on hold for months now. I doubt Mr. Richards would've gone there.""What was that?""As for the phone call… I think it could've been faked using some kind of technology," Angela added.Simon's face instantly paled. "Ms. Richards! Ms. Richards, I…"He gripped his phone tightly, but a bodyguard snatched it away forcefully. Before long, the tech team returned with their findings."It was an AI voice cloning program."Victoria barely managed to stay on her feet.Simon instinctively took two steps backward. "S-So it was just an AI clone of his voice… I… I had no idea. I guess it was a scam call. Someone must've wanted to use Mr. Richards' voice and get money… I got fooled, too…"A hard slap sent him crashing to the floor."Do I look like

    The voice over the phone went on, "Are you counting on the fact that I said I'd leave you shares after I died? Let me tell you this right now—you won't get a single share of the family's company!"I nearly lost my balance. It really sounded like Lawrence, but I had watched his body go into the crematorium with my own eyes. I had personally carried his urn home.Lawrence didn't have a brother or anything, so what was going on…A slap landed on my cheek. My head smashed against the wall, leaving a bloody mark."Stop!" Dad hurried over and threw himself in front of me."Victoria, there has to be some kind of mistake! I attended Lawrence's funeral and burial service. The voice on the phone can't possibly be him!"Victoria sneered at him. "Even you're joining in on this, cursing your own daughter-in-law's father?""I—" Dad tried to protest."Guards, get in here! Throw these two out! This hospital room should go to people who actually need it, not a bunch of shameless attention seeke

"I swear it's true, Ms. Richards! I worked for Mr. Richards for three decades, and he saved my life before! I would never joke about his death!"Victoria's phone slipped from her hand and hit the floor while she stared blankly. "What… How is that possible…"Then she looked at me. "When you asked me for five million dollars, it really was…"I helped Dad up before looking at her, my eyes bloodshot. "I told you over and over that it was your dad who was sick, but you kept thinking I was just jealous of your stupid assistant."And to reward your so-called outstanding employee, you tore down my dad's old home, buried my mom's belongings, and caused my dad to end up hospita

    I had no time to argue with Victoria and Simon. With trembling hands, I took a picture of the shattered tiara and sent it to the buyer.His response was wistful. "It's all shattered now, so it has no collectible value anymore."I hurriedly tried to call him, but he simply sent me 1,000 dollars. "This is all I can do to help you."I stared at the shattered tiara in my hands before checking the pitiful balance in my bank account.When I looked up, Victoria had already walked away with Simon. I heard her gently comforting him."It's okay. There's another tiara at next week's auction. I'll bid as much as it takes to win it, and you can give that one to me."The hospital's payment notices kept coming, and so did the urgent messages from the doctor. I dug my fingernails into my palms so hard that they nearly drew blood.After much hesitation, I finally made a call."I can divorce her and marry you, but… I need money."…I stumbled to the hospital and paid the bill. Then I watched a

    I knew there was no point arguing with Simon, so I grabbed Victoria's hand. "Victoria, please save my dad…"Victoria glanced at Simon before pushing me away."Drop the act. There was no way my people would've seriously injured him. Don't try to fool me with a fake medical report."Tears spilled from my eyes, and I vehemently shook my head. But before I could even speak, Victoria continued, "I know you don't actually need money from me. You're just pulling this stunt because you're jealous of Simon."How many times have I told you that Simon is an excellent worker? I'm just rewarding an employee for his achievements. Can you stop getting jealous over nothing?"Two bodyguards came forward and dragged me outside."Victoria!"I struggled with all my strength. As they hauled me past Simon, I noticed something. Apart from the five-million-dollar watch he was wearing, he also had a diamond-studded tie pin from the same collection. I recalled seeing that it was worth ten million dollars
