Chapter 375 Our Game Has Just Begun

Abillion dollars?

That was quite a bold demand.

"Who do you think you are, asking for one billion dollars? Have some shame," Emily retorted bluntly.Regardless of anything else, she firmly believed in Grace. Grace would never plagiarize someone else's work.

"The facts will reveal who the real plagiarist is. Even if you're internationally famous, you can't twist the truth. Aren't you afraidthat your so-called fans will see your true colors?"

Jessica remained unperturbed, lightly smiling while choosing to ignore Emily's words.

She crossed her arms and walked closer to Grace. When she was just half a step away, she stopped. Lifting her gaze, shelooked at Grace.

"| won't beat around the bush. The choice is in your hands, Ms. Lewis. It depends on what you decide, whether it's paying moneyto settle the matter or letting everyone perish together. What do you say?"

Grace silently clenched her hands. She could tell that Jessica seemed to harbor deep hostility toward her.

Yet she couldn't understand where this animosity came from.

She was well aware that, before this incident, they hadn't had any interaction whatsoever.

"Ms. Landon, this is the first time I've seen someone as shameless as you."

Jessica didn't care. "Compared to what you've done in the past, what I'm doing now is nothing, right?"

What she had done in the past?

Jessica's words carried a hidden meaning. Grace's eyes flashed with suspicion, and her speculation deepened.

Then, Jessica raised three fingers. "Three days. I'm giving you three days to get the money. If you can't come up with the moneyin three days, | will make sure your reputation is ruined."

Silence filled the air as her words fell. It was uncertain how much time had passed.

Finally, Xander broke the silence. "Fine, we agree. But the amount is huge, and we need to coordinate with major banks.Therefore, seven days."novelbin

As soon as he said that, Jessica smiled, seemingly satisfied with the result. She raised her eyebrows and looked at Grace."Ms. Lewis, does he represent you?"

Grace raised her eyes and met Xander's gaze. After a moment of eye contact, she steadied her emotions.

"Yes, seven days."

Jessica agreed quite readily. "Seven days it is. I'll be waiting for your good news."

After saying that, Jessica turned and left. It wasn't until she was far away from everyone's sight that her facade disappeared.

"Jess, are we just taking the money and leaving like this?"

Jessica snorted. "The issue between me and her isn't something money can solve. What | want is her life!"Achill filled the air, capable of making one shiver in fright.

"Did you handle what | told you to? Don't leave any evidence for them to catch onto."

"Don't worry, there won't be any problems.”

Jessica's face remained cold. She raised her chin, thinking, "Grace, oh Grace, our game has just begun."

After Jessica left, Emily was the first to react anxiously.

"Grace, why did you agree with her?She's the one who Eeenot only has s cyined iarreputation: But she's alsoshamelessly extorting so muchmoney from us. It's blatantblackmail!" Please read the originalcontent at NovelDrama.Org.
