Chapter 2259


    "Holly, I have never been a stingy man. Help me find Ivy, and I can pay you ten or even a hundred


    times more. Once I have Ivy in my grasp, I can proceed with my new project. Do you know anything


    about mytest project? Once it seeds, I will be richer than Elliot and Averybined!"


    "Good! I love working with straightforward people like you! Your daughter Natalie was the same."


    "Don''t bring her up! She''s a traitor!"


    "Okay, I won''t. So long as you pay me, I guarantee you will find Ivy," Holly said before unlocking her


    phone album to show him a photo of a little girl. "Look. This is Ivy."


    Dean adjusted his sses to better focus on the screen.


    The girl in the photo was beautiful in a way that would win the hearts of many at first sight. He tried


    to take a closer look to see if the girl looked more like Elliot or Avery, but Holly drew her phone back


    toward her.


    "This is Elliot and Avery''s daughter, Ivy. She was sold off to a wealthy family which had had three


    sons and was desperate for a daughter. Elliot sent his men on a global hunt for Ivy, and, out of fear


    that they would get into trouble, the family sold Ivy off again!"


    Dean listened attentively.


    Holly paused for a moment before continuing, "Ivy is with me right now."

    Dean''s eyes lit up as his pulse sped. "Where is she? How did you find her? Bring me to her now!"


    "I can hand her over to you, but you need to make a transaction to my bank ount first." She


    handed him a piece of paper with her bank details written on it. "Dean, I know that you are a careful


    man, so you can just pay me thirty percent first. I will take you to her as soon as I receive it."


    Dean was entranced. He had not thought that everything would go so smoothly. He had thought


    that Holly merely had leads on where Ivy was, but it turned out that she had had Ivy with her all


    along.


    "Okay! Tell me how much Natalie paid you."


    "Three hundred thousand," she said. "You said ten times more, so you are paying me three million."


    "Haha! And here I wonder how much she had paid you! So it was just three hundred thousand! If


    anyone finds out that you tried to kill Avery and Elliot for so little a sum, you will be the joke of the


    town!"


    "Dean, it wasn''t all about the money," she said, cold and expressionless. "Whatever. I don''t want to


    talk to you about that. We won''t see each other again after this deal is done, anyway."


    "Sure! Three million isn''t an issue! I will pay you fifty percent right off the bat, which is 1.5 million,"


    he said as he took the piece of paper from her and made a call to his ountant to make the


    transaction.


    After the call, he took a sip of water. "My ountant said the money should be inside your ount


    within an hour."


    She unlocked her phone to check the time. "Alright. I''m waiting."


    Dean continued to sip on his water leisurely as he studied Holly.


    Nervous, Holly picked up her cup and pretended to drink as well.


    "Holly, why do I feel like I''ve seen you before?" He frowned as he scanned her face.


    "You had my photo, right? I''m guessing you''ve looked at it countless times?" she mocked.


    "Naturally, you would feel like you''ve seen me before."


    "No... but you lookpletely different from the way you did before. I mean your face right now


    looks familiar," he said suspiciously.
