Chapter 676
Thssa’s tone sounded irritable, as if she had no desire to converse further with Bruce.
Bruce’s tone was fraught with ttery and pleasantry, which wasced with a touch of humor,
“Thssa, I apologize for my previous rudeness. I wasn’t thinking straight. You’re right, transferring the
house under your name is the best course of action. But I have a question.”
“What’s your question? Hurry up, I don’t have time to chat. I have to get to work.” Thssa responded
like that to create a sense of urgency.
Bruce knew he needed to act quickly. Otherwise, Thssa would change her mindter.
“If you receive the three billion and give two billion to me, what would you say if Lysander asks you
what you did with the money?” If Lysander were to investigate, the two billion might still not make it into
his hands.
Bruce’s only concern was his own interests.
“Look, like I said, you transfer the house under my name first; once Lysander approves that, he’ll give
me the three billion and I’ll transfer the house back to you. If it can’t be transferred back, I give you an
extra two billion. If it goes through, sorry, you only get one billion more. I’ll tell Lysander the money is
just sitting in my ount for my retirement. He won’t investigate if he thinks I haven’t spent it. Why you
don’t understand such a simple concept?”
Sensing Thssa’s impatience, Bruce quickly agreed, “Yes, yes, you’re right. Okay, we’ll do as you
say. However, the real estate agency just called me, saying the housing authority’s system is down so
we can’t sign the papers online now. We have to wait until the system is back up.”
Bruce was worried about losing both the house and a chance to receive an additional two billion.
“Once it’s possible to sign the papers, call me. I’m in a rush.” With that, Thssa hung up the phone.
As she was negotiating with Bruce, she was relying solely on her mettle. She was trying to create an
impression of being in a powerful position and being favored by Lysander.
If she showed any signs of weakness, Bruce would be suspicious.
Luckily, she managed to hold her ground.
She used Lysander as leverage against Bruce just because of knowing that Lysander would investigate
the money issue.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been so furious upon finding out that Bruce had bought a vi for one
billion.
He must have been monitoring Bruce’s movements, or he wouldn’t have found out about the house so
quickly.
Lysander despised Bruce, so it was impossible for him to remain indifferent when Bruce spent his
money.
She was tempting Bruce on one hand and threatening him with Lysander on the other, letting him know
the seriousness of the situation and that the safest option was to put the house under her name.

Knowing Bruce’s greed, she was sure he would agree.
She had won her bet.
However, she hadn’t expected the housing authority’s system to crash.
Thssa took a deep breath to rx her tense muscles, thenposed a text message to send to
Lysander.
“I’ll handle Bruce myself, thank you for your help.”
If Lysander stepped in, it would solidify the usation that she was using Lysander’s money to fund
Bruce.
But if she handled it herself, that could naturally clear up Lysander’s misunderstanding.
Aside from not wanting to be misunderstood as using Lysander’s money to support a selfish man like
Bruce, she was more motivated by the reason that she wanted nothing to do with Bruce.
This time, she wanted to show Bruce that she and her mother were not to be messed with.
If he ever tried to deceive her mother again, she would make him regret it!
After sending the message, Thssa didn’t rush out. Instead, she chose to wait at home.
While Bruce was settled, she wasn’t sure if Lysander would agree to let her handle this matter herself.
Thssa was uncertain.
