Female Novel
Chapter 722 Even Tougher
"Why don’t you say a word?" asked the woman playfully.
Catherine’s face was pale. How was she still alive?
But she couldn't hang up the phone, or she would be doomed.
So, Catherine tried to calm down, "What do you want?”
"Good question," the woman laughed, "I’m surprised you are still as straightforward as you were when
you were a kid."
"What do you want?" Catherine felt stressed at the mention of her childhood, "Just say it. I will give you
anything you want." She had anticipated that the woman came for money.
"Five million," the woman replied in a calm and firm tone.
"I don't have that much money." Catherine decided she should at least bargain, "One million is all I
have. Do you want it?"
If she said yes, Catherine could transfer the money to her right away?
Five million was a lot of money. The woman thought that Catherine had spent millions of money on the
designers, it was reasonable that she didn't have much left.
"Alright. I will send you my bank account, transfer the money."
"I can't today," Catherine said, "It will take 48 hours to get to you since the money is over five hundred
thousand." She had to buy herself more time to get rid of the woman, or she would just keep coming
back.
The woman agreed.
She didn't expect Catherine would be so straightforward.
"Okay. I will give you 48 hours," the woman said, "But if I didn't see the money in 48 hours, I will see
you at the police department."
Catherine hung up the phone and felt extremely depressed.
Why was she still alive?
Or... was someone imitating her voice?
She was stunned. After calming herself down, she called someone. "Austin, I need you to check on a
number for me and find the IP address."
"Yes, Ms. Collins."
"When are you going to make a move about Mya?"
"Today."
"Got it."
Catherine hung up the phone and came to the washroom. She splashed some water on her face butnovelbin
still couldn't suppress her anger.
In the brightly decorated president's office in R-Alan Group.
Josh rushed in with a file. "Mr. Eastwood, these are the confidential information about Catherine."
"If my guess was right, she would use me to get what she wants," Leslie smiled, "And she would keep
my secrets in exchange."
"How? Will she ask you to kill her?" Josh was worried. "But that's her own affair, you don't have to
shoulder it for her."
"But I know her. She might call the police after she calms down." Leslie was clear-minded. "She's been
distancing herself from me. Last night, Ivan didn't help her at all. I'm sure she's disappointed now."
Josh stood there and didn't know what to say.
"But she and I could make a trade." Leslie had had a plan. "Since we have found Nora, we need to
make good use of her."
"I see."
"Go do what you should do."
"Yes, sir."
Josh left. Leslie sat in his chair and kept glancing at his phone, waiting for Catherine to call.
In the apartment.
After a lot of inside struggling, Catherine thought calmly.
She couldn't let Nora ruin her life. She couldn't be sent into jail, because no one would be able to get
her out.
Except for Ivan...
But his attitude was clear last night that he didn't care about her at all.
Therefore, Leslie was her only hope.
Leslie was a cruel man who would even murder his own wife. Catherine was sure he didn't mind
murdering another person.
But it came with a price. She couldn't turn him in to the police anymore or sue him for raping her.
In the president's office in R-Alan.
Leslie's phone, which he had been holding, finally rang. Seeing the Caller ID, he smiled confidently.
