Sextuplets From Ruthless Love novel Chapter 147

"We can shelve that for now. Mr. Gulliford, the abductor took my 750 thousand dollars. That was my own money. Shouldn't you return it to me?"

"But I didn't ask you to do that."

Trevor smirked, striding to her side to take a seat.

Forget 750 thousand dollars; even 7.5 million dollars was nothing to him. He merely wanted to pull her leg all of a sudden.

"Mr. Gulliford, don't you feel against your conscience saying that?"

She clasped her hands together, her gaze flashing with puzzlement.

"What does he mean by that? Did I spend my money for nothing?" she mused.

"Against my conscience or not does not matter. Haven't you heard how others spoke about me? Cheating me of my feelings and time is fine, but not my money."

The man grinned, leaned against the couch, and

displayed a hoity-toity demeanor.

He had never exhibited himself in such a demeanorto others before. Not even before his biological grandfather had he been this relaxed.

Yet, before Jessica, he was wholly different. She was his other half that he had already acknowledged to himself.

"I've only heard that you're a solemn and aloof man when it comes to business. Unexpectedly, you'd even default on your debt one day. 750 thousand dollars isn't even enough to cover your expenses for a few days."

She frowned, feeling resigned from deep within. That was 750 thousand dollars. It would take god knows how long for her to earn that back.

Although she was doing business abroad, it was not a large business like Trevor's and merely a small one. Moreover, that was all thanks to Yolanda and Alfred's help.

This 750 thousand dollars was her rainy day fund for her and her children. She didn't want to have to go back to work at Cerulean when she was broke someday.

"Why? You're not trying to extort me, are you, Ms. Lockett? Even if you are, you'd have to pay the price. For example, sexually."

"Mr. Gulliford, do you think such a joke is funny?"
