The Apology from My Ex and His Mistress novel Chapter 192

At that moment, a phone call came in.

Roxanne took one look and picked up.

“What is it?” That was the number of those guys who threatened her “Didn’t I already give you money before? Why are you calling again?”

“Roxanne, don’t try to play dumb. We wanted ten million, but you only gave us two million before.” the other person said.

“It was you guys who said it yourselves, that we could delay.” Roxanne replied coldly.

A few guys who were eating and drinking looked at each other, then one of them chuckled and said. “But today we found out a secret, and we want to get five million before 3 p.m. today.”

Roxanne was totally pissed off and just threw out two words: “No money!”

“No money, you can go ask Maxwell for it.” the guy said with a smile. “We just found out today is the last day of Stéphanie and Maxwell’s divorce cooling–off period.”

“So we wanted five million, or else that stuff would just go straight to Stephanie and Maxwell.”

“Roxanne, you also hoped today would go smoothly. right? If Stephanie got mad and changed her mind, this marriage couldn’t be ended anytime soon!”

The other person laughed while talking, looking really proud.

Roxanne slammed her fist on the table.

“But I really didn’t have any money right now.” That was true. She had quite a lot of assets over the years, but she couldn’t turn them into cash in a short time.

“It’s been so long since the fourth livestream ended. Looks like you. never really cared about us,” the other person said. “Where you get the money is your business. You can ask Maxwell for it.”

After saying that, the other person just hung up the phone.

Roxanne got so mad she just threw her phone.

They should have just gotten rid of these people before!

Stayed by and helped Roxanne pick up her phone and handed it to her.

“Ms. Gregg, what should we do now?” the caregiver asked.

Roxanne grabbed the phone from the caregiver’s hand, shot the caregiver a glare, and then walked into a room by herself.

After Roxanne made sure n

After Roxanne made sure no one heard, Roxanne used another phone to call someone else.

At the same time, late at night, police station.

Policewoman Gianna twisted her stiff neck and let out a long sigh.

The colleague across just went to get some water and asked her if she wanted to go too.

“Sure,” Gianna said,/taking her water bottle and walking over there together.

The two of them walked along, chatting on and off

“That case you were working on was almost done, right?” the coworker. asked.

Gianna nodded and said, “Stuff like interviews and gathering info took a lot of time. Stephanie’s situation was special, so a few of us went to talk to her mom, asked her stepdad in prison, talked to a bunch of people related to the Shelton Group, spoke with Stephanie’s friends McKayla and Patrick, got info from different departments at the Humphrey Group, asked Roxanne… and so on. We also went to the scene several times, checked if there were any new clues where the disguised suspect disappeared, and watched the surveillance footage multiple times to see if there were any gaps.”

Gianna said her head was kind of spinning.

“That’s a lot.” The colleague nodded too.

Gianna got some water and drank it: “These just came to mind, there were some others too, mostly small stuff, and sometimes I even had to go on business trips.”

“But anyway, it was pretty much done. If it was suitable, we could call in Maxwell tomorrow or the day after.”

The colleague nodded, and both of them filled their water and walked back together.

“Who had the biggest chance now?” a colleague asked casually.

Gianna looked at him seriously.

The colleague just laughed it off and didn’t ask anymore.

Gianna sat down again and packed up to go back.
