Chapter 259 Bad Guys Without Friends

"Emily, you can't blame us. Seeing him tall, strong, and timid, he pulled out his pants and trembled as soon as he was scared. He climbed out of the railing and ran away, and before we could stop it, we saw Dimitri climbed on the railing in a few seconds. He climbed up from the railing and ran away. I couldn't stop him in time, and in a few seconds, I saw Dimitri fall from the railing."

The man's voice sparkled on the other side of the conversation. "You should have said first, the goal is to scare him to death, not the other way around. So be ready."

"Now you blame me?" Emily Russel snapped.

The voice on the other side calmed down and threatened her. "We cleaned the scene very carefully and did not show a second person in the dilapidated apartment. Only you and I know that if. If you sell us out, you won't die as easily as the actor.

"Are you crazy? What's the advantage of my betrayal?" Emily Russel leaned her back against the wall and relieved the steaming heat in her heart. She was out of breath. "It's over. I'll give you the other 50%. From now on, don't contact me."

The answer exceeded her expectations. "Emily has something to do with Dimitri's life. Our brothers are restless day and night, and Emily should make up for our mental state."

The unknown man directly and brazenly asked Emily Russel for additional money. His request drove Emily Russel crazy that made her curse angrily.

"I don't ask you to pay for it. You broke the agreement without my authorization. I only paid for the contract as agreed. Don't expect to get more money from me."

"Emily, you live in your present life peacefully contradictory to your previous life, so don't shout at us." The other party's voice mocked and loudly stated the terms. You can't even wear a few silver ring in prison. You're dead, beautiful."

"Tell me the numbers, McCullen." Emily Russel gritted her teeth.

"Five times the original number."

"Why don't you take it?" Emily Russel shouted. Her voice evidently coated with anger. She inhaled several times to restrain her mood, and flatly refused the offer. "I didn't make that much money when I left."

"Do you want to use your body instead of money? We can agree. The storeroom on my side is understaffed, and after several years of work, I'll cut open your abdomen, then your kidney, liver, and heart, which is more than the number we have given."

The abominable laughter pierced Emily Russel's brain. She bit her lip and did not find any words to refute.

The other party laughed it off and made a clever suggestion. "Don't you have a sister who married a rich man? The money is beyond your means, but seducing your brother-in-law is just a simple case."

Emily Russel knew that the man the caller pertained to was Alex Hargreaves, and when she heard the caller's mentioned her brother-in-law Alex, she became angrier and angrier.

"It is impossible to borrow money from him, let alone steal money. They will doubt me."

"Just give me a month, I will give you enough money." Emily Russel gave in. She had a headache and can't think of anything else.

"After a month, if our account has not received enough money, do not blame us for being cruel. Killing one person or killing two people is just a matter of little play."

Emily Russel dared not listen to the threat, so she hurriedly turned off her phone. Her heartbeat suddenly and because of the panic, her mind turned wobbly. Her dilemma made her slip away from the wall and sat on the floor dizzy.

"Look, I don't want you to die. I just want to scare you and make you follow my orders. It's not my fault that things have come to this. I didn't do anything." She talked to herself as she thought of Dimitri.

A knock on the door suddenly interrupted her muttering to herself. Emily Russel's heart twitched as if it would shoot out, and she turned and stared at the door. "Who is it?"

"It's me." The soft voice of Elly sounded.

Emily Russel's heart almost rushed out of her throat. She suffocated, opened her mouth, and spit it out, making the air get in her chest. She wondered if Elly heard the conversation just now.

After a long delay, there was a quick knock on the door and she bit her lip and opened it. Her face was solemn as she asked Elly. "Is something wrong?"

"Emily, Rosalyn will stay to have dinner with us tonight." Elly smiled with Emily Russel's stiff face and gently persuaded her. "I don't know what happened to you two in the past, but she's a guest of Alex Hargreaves."

"Are you disturbing me or your friendship?"

"Elly, you know I didn't mean that." Elly was surprised at Emily Russel's grumpy voice and looked at her morbid face white that was full of doubts.

Emily Russel said anxiously. "I know. Is there anything else?"

"What's the matter with you today? Are you not feeling well?" Seeing that Emily Russel's attitude was somewhat unusual, she asked with her head sideways.

"Well, I'm a little tired. If it's all right, I'd like to have a rest. I'll come down by myself at mealtime." Emily Russel's voice evidently showed that she's annoyed. With that, Elly closed the door.

Emily Russel gazed suspiciously at the door and formed questions in thoughts. "What's her new trick? What a dangerous woman, planning every day. It's creepy. There is nothing wrong with the bad things I have done."

In the room, Emily Russel leaned against her back against the bed. She stroked her chest to appease the outbreak of fear.

"The girl didn't seem to hear me. I don't have to scare myself. No one will know." She tried to calm herself down with these words.

As she looked helplessly at her cell phone, her mood stumbled back and forth. Emily Russel could not bear the thought of the money she owed that needs be paid.

She slid her fingers through the phone book and suddenly realized that she had no friends since the Russel family went bankrupt. Now, she suddenly needs to borrow money, which is really difficult to ask for.

Emily Russel looked at the phone book, slid her finger to Peter's name, and stopped unconsciously.

She doesn't remember how long she hasn't been in touch with Peter. Since he went abroad, she has never called or texted him, completely forgot the person who protected her for a year.

Emily Russel is an ungrateful person, but she doesn't realize it herself.

Being out of touch for too long made her feel that their relationship had become strange.

If she borrows money from the underground market, that lender will get high interest. Only Peter can spend so much money at the same time, but she hasn't contacted him for so long.

Emily Russel said to herself as she desperately denied the idea. Her arrogance can't make her feel inferior in front of the man she abandoned.

Her mind was in a mess and she hesitated again and again. However, Emily Russel still didn't call Peter. She walked out of the room with her coat on.

In the lower living room, she saw Rosalyn sat on the sofa as she held a cup of tea, feeling even more upset.

Rosalyn took the initiative to say hello.

"Ms. Emily, long time no see. Sit down and have a cup of hot tea. You are gray and feverish. Have you been thinking too much lately and getting sick all over?"

Without pretending to be a guest, Emily Russel rushed straight to the door with an understated nose.

Stunned for a moment, Rosalyn was puzzled by her insensitive attitude and asked Elly curiously, "What's wrong with her?"
