Chapter 400 Her Again
Dana looked at Ainsley. Dana’s face was pale, and her lips were trembling slightly. She asked,
“What the heck do you want?”
“The truth. I only want the truth. Tell me everything.” Ainsley glanced at the corner again.
Dana swallowed and asked, “What will happen if I tell you?”
“You will get some money, and I will delete the recording. I just want to know who is behind this.”
“How much?” Dana swallowed again.
“160 thousand dollars.”
The once-cut-off live broadcast was reconnected, and Manuel stopped what he was doing. On the
screen, Dana put down the bag in her hand and sat calmly on the sofa. She said slowly, “A week ago,
Iliana and I were still the most ordinary employees in the company. Then a woman showed up with
cards from PineMist Island Resort Hotel, telling Iliana, me, and some other employees that we could go
there for a few days for free. We wouldn’t have to pay for anything. Who would say no to that?”
She paused and continued, “The next day, that woman came to me and Iliana. She knew all about us,
including Iliana’s mother’s illness. When Iliana’s mother was rescued, Iliana paid 16 thousand dollars
for the medical bills. Iliana was just an ordinary employee. Her mother’s treatment these days had
eaten up all her money, and she was still in debt. The woman said that as long as we helped her do
one thing, she would give Iliana 160 thousand dollars.”
Dana was immersed in thoughts as if she had gone back to that day.
“160 thousand dollars?” Dana’s eyes widened.
“What do you want?” Iliana also looked at the woman in shock.
The woman stared at Iliana without blinking. Then she said in a solemn and pitiful voice as if she was
announcing Iliana’s death, “Your death.”
“My death?” Iliana’s face was pale.
“You are ill as well and will ***soon. Your mother is still in the hospital and might need to be rescued at
any second. You have me to pay you this time, but what about next time? 160 thousand dollars is
enough to save your mother. After you **, I will have experts treat her and carers take care of her,” the
woman said in a clear, cold voice, which made Iliana and Dana scared. Iliana’s lips parted and closed
several times, yet after pondering, she still couldn’t say yes. After all, it was about her life. How could
she easily agree to end her life?
The woman seemed to have seen through Iliana. “You only have a day. If you don’t get back to me by
this time tomorrow, I’ll assume you’ve turned the offer down.”
Before the woman left, she glanced deeply at Dana with a complicated light flashing across her eyes.
Dana looked at Ainsley with tears. “You are right. It was me. The woman told me that if I could
persuade Iliana to do it, I could get 160 thousand dollars as well. 160 thousand dollars! Who wouldn’t
want that?”
“Iliana, what’s there to think about? It is not 1.6 thousand dollars. It is 160 thousand dollars! How much
do we earn a month? We can’t even earn 1.6 thousand dollars per month. Heck, we might not be able
to earn 16 thousand dollars after ten years. Besides, she has already helped to pay 16 thousand
dollars. If you turn her down, how are you going to repay this money?
“Iliana, the HR Department just informed us today that the company is going to lay off employees soon,
and I think that we, the old employees, might be the ones getting kicked out. The newcomers all
graduate from prestigious universities. We have no advantage over them.
“The clock is clicking. Have you made up your mind? Actually, it’s fine if you say no. But I’m afraid that
your mother’s illness…”
“I am telling the truth. Iliana was tempted by the money as well, so we called the woman. Iliana got a
bag of pills from her, and I had to watch Iliana ***.”
While speaking, Dana was already in tears.
Irene was in the Wade Group. She looked at the woman on the screen with a face full of despair.”
Irene thought, I made a mistake, and I couldn’t stop after that. It was just an impulse, and it got me into
so much trouble.
She anxiously dialed a number and said, “Shut the live broadcast off! Now!”
Her nearly insane voice made the person on the other end of the line nervous.
The person in charge of the live broadcast platform hung up the phone perfunctorily. Someone beside
him asked, “Manager, should we turn it off?”
“No, of course!”
“But it was Ms. Wade who called.”
The person in charge snorted, “Mr. Gage was two minutes earlier than her ”
Dana, who was on the screen, continued, “I’ll never forget what that woman said when she met us.
She said to Iliana, ‘You must **. You must **at PineMist Island Resort Hotel. You must ***for sure.’ Then
we set off to PineMist Island. When we were having the most fun, we went back to the hotel. The
reason why we chose to go back at that time was that the staff would come as soon as we got back to
our room. I never expected that the timing would become the biggest loophole. And the toilet… I never
thought that it was also the time for cleaning. And it never occurred to me that the toilets in high-end
hotels all had special flower-shaped bubbles.”
Dana could hardly continue since she was crying so hard. She sobbed, “I am guilty of Iliana. Money
can blind people. Money is so great. I had never owned any luxuries, and I only knew 160 thousand
dollars was nothing after I went shopping. It took me only a day to spend all the money. Then I dipped
my finger in the money in the hospital.”
Ainsley continued to ask calmly, “How do you know who that woman is?”
“I’ve seen her on TV. She is the eldest daughter of the Wade family, and I have seen her a lot in the
financial news. The Gage family canceling her engagement with Mr. Gage was also on the news
before, right? Of course, I know it is her. She is very beautiful, and it is hard to forget her once one has
seen her,” Dana said with certainty.
The live broadcast was cut off, and Irene turned it off. She thought, why did it take so long to be cut off
now?
I ordered someone to cut it off in the beginning, but it couldn’t be cut off whatsoever.
I am from the Wade family, and my order is of no use. It only means that someone else is behind this.
She called out a name through gritted teeth, “Manuel.”
She thought, why do you have to go against me?
Is Ainsley that wonderful? Does she deserve all this help you’ve given her?
She turned off her computer and was about to go home at once, wondering if the police had made any
moves.
She had to go home. She was determined that Brady would help her.
Irene found her car keys and quickly entered the elevator with her bag.
“Ms. Wade, you…’
“****off!” she said hastily.
16
No one dared to stop her. She hurriedly ***away from the Wade Group and headed straight for
the Wade’s place.
At the same time, Kaliyah was overjoyed. Those memories of when she was used by Irene all surged
into her mind.
Kaliyah thought, finally, Irene is running out of scapegoats. Someone as meticulous as her can also
leave a flaw when she is impulsive, and that flaw is enough to make her doomed.
Lindsay pushed open Kaliyah’s door with a baby in her arms. “Kaliyah, your baby is hungry. Feed him
now.”
Lindsay went on, “I don’t think you have enough milk. I’ll have the nanny cook something more for you
to eat so that you’ll have more milk. Make sure you eat up. I don’t want my grandson to be. starved.”
