The Betrayed Heiress Is Now the CEO’s Obsession novel Chapter 39

Chapter 39

The man in the mask finally exhaled in relief. Just a million?

The lady he worked for said she was willing to go up to five million, as long as the two thugs took the blame and didn’t say a word about who put them up to it.

If they confessed they were hired, and the Riley or Jasper families got involved, it wouldn’t take long for the trail to lead back to her.

He had already decided that if the tattooed guy pushed back, he would offer two million.

But who would have guessed? The guy folded at one.

“Fine,” the masked man said in a low volor. “Give me your account number. You’ll get the inoney soon. But if either of you so much as leaks a word, not only will the money vanish, you’ll be joining the dead. You understand?”

His tone dropped, sharp and cold. “Own up to it. Worst case, you serve a few years. But if you slip up…” He paused. “You’ll be going in upright and coming out horizontal.”

The two thugs went pale.

Anyone who could casually toss around that

at kind of money wasn’t someone to mess with and they could tell this guy wasn’t bluffing

Not long after the masked man left, Sean’s assistant, Sam Long, walked into the hospital roomL

“No.” The man snapped to attention. “Who are you? You here for me?”

“Why did you target Miss Riley last night?” Sam asked.

The tattooed guy smirked. “Saw a pretty girl, got a little excited. She was hot, what can I say?”

The blond guy nodded quickly, “Yeah, she’s a total knockout.”

Sam’s eyes narrowed. “Watch your mouth. One more disgusting word, and I’ll have your tongues cut out.”

Two men in black suits stepped forward from behind him.

Both thugs went still. Now they really understood that they had crossed the wrong people.

Sata continued, “You’d better think carefully before you answer again. I want the truth.”

Thinking of the masked man’s threats just moments ago, the tattooed guy and the blond one didn’t dare let a single word slip.

If they talked, not only would they lose the money–they might lose their lives.

So they stuck to

to their story that they were drunk and acted on impulse after seeing a pretty girl.

Seeing he couldn’t get anything useful out of them, Sam turned and left with his bodyguards.

The next morning, Charlotte had barely gotten out of bed when her phone rang.

It was the police, Informing her that the assault case against her had been officially dropped.

he wasn’t surprised.

She knew this had Sean’s fingerprints all over it.

She had been ready to defend herself in court, fully confident she could prove it was self–defense and walk away clean.

But since Sean had already handled it behind the scenes, she saw no reason to intervene further.

Still, she politely called him.
