“Whether you choose to believe it or not, the phone number holds its authenticity,” she assured.


    Nancy’s astonishment surged, seeds of doubt sown as she questioned the uracy of what she had


    just heard.


    “Are you genuinely willing to offer it to us?”


    “Absolutely, but do understand that it’s not a gratuitous offering.


    A purchase is the prerequisite.”


    “Purchase it?”


    Millie nodded with unwavering resolve, her demeanor devoid of any hint of jest.


    Nancy found herself at a crossroads of contemtion. The notion of a free offering held no credence,


    yet Millie’s assertion of a sale held a certain measure of credibility. In Nancy’s perception, Millie


    embodied the persona of an opportunist, one who seized every chance to amass wealth.


    Currently, the media remained oblivious to the mastermind behind Swan Kiss. Even victory in the


    wedding jewelrypetition would necessitate her departure from the Thomas Group. In the interim,


    opting to align with D.S Jewelry appeared as the most prudent course of action.

    “Seems Like you’re in quite a rush for funds?” A sneer tugged at the corner of Nancy’s lips, a subtle


    disy of her skepticism.


    “Let’s not kid ourselves – money is no stranger to anyone’s affections. Selling my creation to you would


    undoubtedly be a windfall. The terms are favorable. If I were to release it under the Thomas Group’s


    banner, I’d merely earn amission. Moreover, thewyer’s informed me that this legal tangle will


    stretch out over time. Yet, my yearning for swift financial gains remains insatiable,”


    Millie articted with candor.


    Nancy found herself taken aback by Millie’s forthright admission.


    “Are you in need of funds? Don’t attempt to deceive me. It’smon knowledge that you’re the


    president’s wife. Financial shortage isn’t a predicament one associates with your status.”


    From Nancy’s tone, Millie could tell she didn’t believe Millie could extract funds from the Thomas family.


    “Indeed, I find myself in want of funds. It’smon knowledge that Celeste regards me with disdain.


    She’s forever vignt, treating me as though I were amon thief. Her persistent aim is to persuade


    Marcus to cast me aside. Consequently, I must stash away personal funds in my own right.”


    “Ha ha, you hit the mark, Celeste’s never held affection for you.


    It’s only a matter of time before Marcus parts ways with you.”


    Nancy’s defenses crumbled, reced by an unrestrainedughter that echoed through the air.


    “Well then, what’s the price tag you’re cing on it?” Nancy inquired.


    “Two hundred grand.”


    Nancy’s response lingered in the air, prompting Millie to take the initiative and revise the asking price


    downwards.


    “Is the cost exorbitant?” Millie queried.


    “I can certainly reduce it.Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!
