Chapter 1198
Victor said, “My parents raised Estelle for four years, but two years ago, she gave me a chunk of change and cut
me off!”
Carmella asked coldly, “What are you getting at?”
“If Estelle could fork over four grand, how much do you reckon you owe me?” Victor’s eyes lit up with greed.
“If I pay you, will you leave me alone?” Carmella gritted her teeth.
“No sweat; just pay me and I’ll be out of your hair,” Victor replied instantly.
“How much do you want?” Carmella asked icily.
Victor, with a calculating look, ventured, “How about ten grand?”
“Fine, I’ll transfer it to you now. But once you get the money, you leave the crew immediately and never show your
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtface to me again!” Carmella said sternly.
Victor thought to himself, ‘Fat chance!’ He’d finally bagged a sugar mama; there’s no way he’d let her go that
easily!
But of course, he couldn’t say that out loud, so he agreed, “Deal, you pay me, and I’m gone.”
Victor’s eyes sparkled. He’d thrown out the ten-grand figure as a shot in the dark, but Carmella had agreed without
batting an eye. She must be loaded!
There’s no way he’s letting her go now!
He was thrilled to bits, thinking he was on the verge of hitting the jackpot!
Carmella transferred ten grand to Victor, saying sternly, “Quit right away; I don’t want to see you again!”
Victor, seeing the money in his account and barely containing his excitement, grinned, “I’m leaving right now!”
As he turned to quit his job with the crew, he looked back and said, “Carmella, I’ll come see you when I have the
time!”
Carmella, pale as a ghost, snapped, “Get lost!”
Victor’s face darkened, and he left with a final, gloomy look.
Carmella watched as Victor disappeared from her sight and finally let out a sigh of relief.
She was determined to get this money back from Estelle!
For the next two days, she was on pins and needles, scared to run into Victor at the crew. Thankfully, Victor took
the money and ran.
But things were not going smoothly for her either. Ever since Estelle saved Yulia, Yulia had been brown-nosing
Estelle and giving Carmella the cold shoulder.
If not for her interest in Yvonne, she would’ve quit already!
The James Group building.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmEmily had been working here for ten days now and was getting the hang of the business on the 39th floor. Charlie
James didn’t say anything, but Gavin praised Emily. Charlie’s silence meant he agreed.
Charlie gradually gave Emily more critical tasks, even taking her alone to a morning tender meeting.
Emily returned to find Tracy looking glum.
Tracy realized she’d underestimated Emily. When Emily first came to the 39th floor, she was young and pretty;
Tracy assumed she was there because of connections.
Charlie’s lukewarm attitude toward Emily confirmed Tracy’s suspicions that Emily wouldn’t be considered for
important roles.
However, Emily had only been there a short while when Tracy suffered a setback. It was clear Charlie was focusing
on grooming Emily Sullivan!
The fact that Mr. James took only Emily to such an important tender meeting today was a shock. Did it mean she
was about to be replaced?
Tracy felt a wave of panic.
