In the Lap of Luxury by Unsweetened Chestnuts Novel novel Chapter 408

"Grace, it's getting closer to the time we agreed on. Have you prepared a billion dollars?"

Grace huffed coldly. With a hint of nonchalance in her tone, she asked, "Why are you so worried, Ms. Landon? It's just one billion dollars."

Jessica started laughing on the other end of the phone.

"It seems that the Lewis family's heiress isn't like ordinary people. But I still have to remind you that if the money doesn't arrive when time is up, you shouldn't blame me for not showing any mercy."

Grace raised her wrist to look at her watch. "There are still 15 hours left until the promised time. Don't be anxious, Ms. Landon. What has to come will come."

"Then, I'll just wait for good news from you."

She hung up, leaving only the sound of the dial tone.

Grace gripped the phone in her hand tightly. "Xander, let's go back to Pamore."

She would play this game with that impostor.

"Ms. Lewis, I've told you everything I know. If there isn't anything else, I'll take my leave." Adeline bid them goodbye.

Upon seeing this, Xander also said, "Don't worry, Ms. Wentworth. We will definitely help you as promised."

As he spoke, Xander pulled out a business card with Callum's number on it. "When the time comes, call him. He'll help you solve all your problems."

Adeline took it and thanked him profusely. "Thank you … Thank you!"

After watching Adeline leave, Grace and Xander also got in a car and left the place.

However, after Grace and Xander had left, Adeline suddenly came out from behind a corner.

Beside her stood a man wearing a mask. He handed her a check. "This money is your payment for today. It should be enough for you to live a carefree life for the rest of your life."
