Chapter 234
As I watched Elene, I thought rather distractedly that she was pretty lucky.
No matter what, Ivy had always loved her and tried her best to give her the best of everything. I had once criticized her for being naive and toolish, but perhaps that was also a land of bliss.
“I’m tired, so I’m going to bed.” I got up, ignoring Liam. “If you’re not going home tonight, you can sleep in the guest room.
Early the next day, Liam and I headed to the Wiley residence with our bodyguards and with Elene as our captive, When we arrived, Ivy was already waiting

Elene cried out in surprise “Mom!”
“Ellie!” Ivy ran toward us.
“Stop right there!” Liam shouted. He said in a cold, threatening voice, “If you come any closer, we won’t show any mercy to her.”

Ivy immediately stopped and fixed a sinister look on me. She looked like a viper, ready to strike. “Evelyn, kidnapping is against the law.” “Isn’t splashing acid on people illegal too?” I retorted lazily
Ivy was startled and turned to look at Elene. Elene avoided her gaze, and Ivy immediately realized what had happened. She looked thunderstruck. My lips curled, and I asked her, “Do you want me to let her go?”
I wasn’t an idiot. She immediately looked wary when she heard my question, and she asloed, “What are the conditions?”
Liam chuckled and said to me, “She’s actually pretty smart.”
Yes, she was smart
She was smart in a petty, small-minded kind of way.
I nodded and said, “You’ve embezzled quite a fair sum of money from Jack over the years, haven’t you? Give us 30 million in exchange for your daughter.”
“20 million?” Ivy’s eyes widened, and she cried out in disbelief. “Are you crazy? How can you ask for 20 million right off the bat? Do I look like I can print cash?” Her screaming hurt my ears
I frowned and said in a displeased manner, “Fine. I’ll send your daughter to jail, and she can keep her father company there. However, it’ll cost more than 20 million for you to try and get her out of there.” Elene burst into tears of fright, and she pleaded with Ivy to save her.
Ivy looked tom when she saw Elene crying Without even considering it a moment longer, she pulled out a bank card from her bag and tossed it at me. “There’s 20 million on that. Let my daughter go.”
“What’s the rush? I haven’t verified it yet.” I gestured for a bodyguard to pick up the bankcard. He took out a POS machine and began to check the remaining funds on it. When it was time to enter the password, I looked up and asked, “What’s the password?
As soon as I spoke, I saw Ivy’s face contort. She said the six-figure password through gritted teeth. Once had entered the password and saw the remaining on the card, I put the card away in satisfaction. Ivy’s voice rang out at once “Now that you’ve taken the money, let my daughter go at once!”
“I can let her go, but remember this. If Elene tries to attack me again, it won’t be as easy as forking out 20 million,” 1 stated dangerously at tvy and said i threatening voice, I will make sure she’s jailed” 2 funds
in a low,
I saw Ivy’s expression change, which was what 1 had been aiming for Once I had warned her, I “Eille!” Ivy lunged forward to catch Elene, who stumbled.
I waved
a hand at the bodyguards, and they pushed Elene toward I
Ivy.
The both of them lost their balance and fell on their backsides.
Since I had the money, 1 had no desire to watch them be affectionate with one another, so I called out to Liam and turned to leave. I failed to see that they were both glaring hatefully at my retreating figure.
