Chapter 558


    After a long while, she finally saw an elegant figure walking down the spiral stairs. She was wearing a


    long ck dress and there was a Persian in her arms.


    With every step, the woman’s high heels clicked against the tiles. Martha felt as if her heart had been


    struck.


    Giada!


    It was Giada!


    Martha was petrified.


    What did she want?


    Giada looked at Martha who was trembling all over and sat down on the sofa. She caressed her


    Persian and said coldly, “We meet again, Martha.”


    “M-Madam Wallis, what are you doing? I didn’t do anything wrong, did I?”


    Martha was terror-stricken. She was scared that Giada would hit her again.


    There was a cold smile on Giada’s lips, and her eyes were filled with disdain. She said, “I didn’t call you


    here for any particr reasons. I just want you to do something for me. Once you do it, you’ll get five


    million bucks.”


    After she said that, Giada’s subordinate took out five silver boxes and ced them in front of Martha.


    When the boxes were opened, there were stacks and stacks of red-colored cash inside.


    The sight was extremely attractive!


    When Martha saw the money, she was excited.


    Money. Those were all money!

    “Is this all for me?”


    Martha asked without controlling herself. She was also grinning widely. She hadpletely forgotten


    what Giada told her before.


    Giada’s expression changed slightly. She could not imagine how Philip had lived with this mother-inw


    for three years.


    How did he endure her?


    “This will only be yours after the deed is done,” Giada said nonchntly. Then, she signaled Vivian to


    take out the things.


    They were in a small box.


    Martha was curious and took it over. When she opened the box, she saw three small bags of white


    powder.


    “What is this, Madam Wallis?”


    Martha asked in confusion.


    “Don’t you worry about this. I just need you to make Philip consume it. You only have three chances,”


    Giada said frigidly. There was an ominous glint in her eyes.


    Martha was startled. She was scared as she held the box. She asked, “Is this poison? I won’t do it if it


    is. I won’t be able to get away with it if he dies.”


    Vivian walked over and forced the box into Martha’s hands. She said coldly, “It’s not poison, he won’t


    die. The most it will do is get him addicted.”


    When she said this, Martha understood. Her eyes went wide.


    She was even more scared now. She shook her head furiously as a show of refusal.


    She knew this would happen, so Giada snapped her fingers and her subordinate handed two sets of


    documents. She said, “There are two sets of documents here. One’s a deed for two houses and one is


    a crime that I’ll pin on you. It’s enough to let you rot in prison for life. Your choice.”


    After she said that, the two documents were thrown in front of Martha.


    Martha picked it up and nced through it. She was saying ‘oh no’ over and over again in her heart.


    Finally, Martha had no choice. She signed her name and left Cirrus Manor with the money and small


    box.


    Giada was standing on the balcony while watching the clouds in the sky. She closed her eyes.


    A tall man walked over to her from behind. He was wearing a mask and his voice was also altered. His


    voice sounded robotically, “Did you give it to her?”


    “I did,” answered Giada.


    After one consumed that white powder, they would be slowly destroyed even if they had an iron-like


    will.


    Roger rke from Arcadia Ind was an example.


    “This is the master’s next order. Burn it after you’ve read it,” the man said coldly and handed Giada an


    envelope.


    Giada took it over and nced at it before letting Vivian burn it. Then, she asked, “Can the master help


    the Wallises get to that position?”


    The man looked at the west and said, “Don’t doubt the master’s ability. The rkes are too powerful.


    They’ve hindered a few important people’s ns. We need to get rid of the rkes. Master has to


    control the economy and military of this world.”


    Giada did not say anything.


    She knew the ability of those people. Even Giada and the Wallises needed to be careful of them.


    Back then, the rkes only became stronger by depending on them. After that, Roger appeared and


    changed everything.


    Now, those people wanted to take control of the game once again.


    This world was merely a game of chess.


    Over here, Martha was feeling perturbed. She was back at the vi after leaving Cirrus Manor.


    She hesitated for a long while and called Philip. She said, “Philip, are you busy? Something happened


    at home and I need you toe back.”


    Philip was chatting with Nina over here. After he got the call, he rushed home after talking a little while


    longer with Nina.


    M and Anne were not home yet. Perhaps they were out buying some sundries. With Anne around,


    Philip was not worried about M.


    “Mom, what happened?”


    Philip got home and saw Martha sitting on the sofa frantically. She looked extremely anxious.


    When she saw Philip, Martha pretended to be calm and took the ss of water on the coffee table. She


    got up and handed it to Philip. She said, “You must be parched. Drink some water.”


    Philip did not understand what Martha was doing. He took the ss…
