Chapter 147


    However, Roxanne did not dare to take the initiative to contact Gavin anymore. It was not easy for her


    to settle this matter, so she was unwilling to get herself stuck in an unpleasant situation again.


    “So what if we don’t have a healthy married sex life? As long as we have money, everything will be


    fine!” she thought.


    Roxanne tossed and turned until thetter half of the night. She was so tired that finally, she drifted off


    to sleep.


    She missed Gavin so much that she even drearned of him.


    The next day.


    When Roxanne woke up, it was already past 11 in the afternoon.


    Bruce had already gone to work.


    Roxanne pondered for a while and could not resist giving Ingrid a call.


    Since her mother was more experienced, Roxanne thought that she might have a solution for this.


    Roxanne punched Ingrid’s phone number on her phone and dialed it.


    The call went through quickly.


    “Hello, Roxy. What’s the matter?” Ingrid asked.


    “Mom…” Roxanne hesitated to say what she wanted to say.


    Ingrid heard the hesitation in Roxanne’s voice, and her heart sank. “What happened this time?”


    “Mom, I want to ask you something,” Roxanne said.


    “Go ahead,” Ingrid said.


    Roxanne took a deep breath. She could not help but ask, “Well… What should I do if a man is unable


    to perform in bed?”


    On the other end of the line, Ingrid’s eyes widened in shock. “Can’t perform in bed? Who are you


    referring to?”


    Roxanne said in an annoyed tone, “Who else can it be…”


    Ingrid was startled and asked in disbelief, “Are you talking about Bruce? Oh my goodness, how is this


    possible?”


    Roxanne sighed. “Mom, it’s true!”


    Ingrid said, “It can’t be. I thought you two have done the deed before, so how is it possible that he’s


    unable to perform?”


    Roxanne said angrily, “No! I was lying to you before!


    “We tried to dontst night, but unfortunately… we kept failing.”


    When Ingrid heard this, she found it even more unbelievable. “No way! Bruce seems like a man with


    vigorous energy. How is it possible that he has that


    kind of illness?”


    “It’s true! Why would I lie to you?” Roxanne said.


    Ingrid paused for a few seconds. From Roxanne’s tone, it did not sound like she was joking.


    “Roxy, don’t be anxious. You can make some medicinal cuisine for him. Buy more seahorses, deer


    antlers, the bark of rubber trees, and wolfberries. Make some soup for him to nourish his body. It will


    definitely work,” Ingrid advised.


    11:05 Fri, 30


    “Will these really work?” Roxanne asked.


    Ingrid countered, “Why not?


    “I have a recipe here. I’ll send it to youter. You can follow the steps and make it for Bruce. If it still


    doesn’t work, you can only treat his illness with the use of medication!”


    Roxanne sighed in frustration. “But such things are hard to say!”


    Ingrid paused for a moment and hurriedly reminded her daughter, “Don’t say such things in front of


    Bruce. It will hurt his pride! Just make it ording to the medicinal cuisine recipe!”


    “Mom, what if he really can’t do it in the future?” Roxanne asked worriedly.


    “Silly girl, it doesn’t matter if he can or can’t. Even if he really can’t, what does it matter? He’s so rich.


    He’ll think of a way to solve it!” Ingrid said.


    “But…” Roxanne was about to continue speaking, but Ingrid did not give her a chance to do so.


    She interrupted, “No buts. I will give you a prescriptionter. Just follow it!


    “I’m ying poker now, so I’ll talk to you another time!”


    “Oh, okay,” Roxanne said.


    “I’m hanging up!” Ingrid hung up after saying that.


    Roxanne was feeling distraught and could only hang up too.


    Over at Ingrid’s end.


    Ingrid was currently being harassed by her two cousins.


    Seeing that she had finished the call, a tall and burly middle-aged man, Wace, teased, “It’s just 4


    million dors. Your daughter is about to marry into the Everett family. This small amount of money is


    nothing to you!”


    Ingrid rolled her eyes and said, “You make it sound so easy. Even if my daughter marries into the


    Everett family, the money is still the Everett family’s money, not mine!


    “Both of you are too greedy! Where am I going to find so much money for you guys?”


    Another slightly plump cousin, Oscar, also smiled and patted Ingrid’s butt. “That’s enough! Stop


    pretending. It’s not like we don’t know how much money you have!


    “It’s only 4 million dors, and you’ll get to enjoy a lifetime of wealth and glory. Not a bad deal at all,


    right?”


    Wace chimed in, “That’s right. We have apanied you for more than a decade! Don’t tell me you


    want to kick us out of your life!


    “If not, why don’t you let us continue working at the Haynes Group? Either that or you have to


    Ingrid gritted her teeth and said angrily, “4 million dors is not a small sum. You have to give me time


    to raise it!”


    “We already gave you a few months to raise the money. I don’t believe that till now, you haven’t


    managed to raise the money,” Wace said.


    Ingrid’s face darkened. She was angry and anxious. “Oh please! You’re talking about 4 million dors,


    not 400 dors!


    “Who will keep that much money at home? Besides, if I transfer 4 million dors from my ount at


    once and my husband finds out, what should I do?”


    Wace pinched her butt and chuckled. “You will have a way. We believe you!


    “Hurry up and transfer the money! For old times’ sake, we’ve already given you time! You can’t keep


    trying to trick us.”


    11:05 Fri, 30 Jun


    After saying that, Wace took out his phone and showed Ingrid the photo album. “I’ve always kept


    these videos and photos of you! Don’t resent us if I identally send these to your husband one day.”


    Ingrid took a deep breath and said angrily, “Fine! I can give you money!


    “But you have to promise me one thing!”


    “What is it?” the two men asked.


    Ingrid’s face darkened. She gritted her teeth and said, “Help me get rid of someone!”


    “Are you kidding me?” Wace shook his head. He refused tomit murder.


    Ingrid said, “I’m not kidding!


    “4 million dors is enough for me to hire a lot of assassins.


    “I’ll give you 4 million dors now as long as you agree to help me kill someone. As long as you don’t


    spend extravagantly for the rest of your lives, this amount of money is enough tost you for the rest of


    your life!”


    “Who do you want us to kill?” the two men asked in unison.


    “This person is also your enemy!” Ingrid answered.


    “Our enemy?” they asked.”


    “That’s right!” Ingrid said.


    The men looked


    Foto t at each other. “Who exactly is it?”


    Ingrid replied, “Iv want you guys to get rid of Joanna.


    “As long


    as that b itch dies, I’ll definitely give you the money!”


    ”


    “Get rid of Joanna?” Both men were stunned and subconsciously gulped.


    Ingrid snorted. “Think about it. We’re talking about 2 million dors for each of you! This amount of


    money is enough for you to emigrate to some countries in Southeast Alendor. You’ll be able to live a


    carefree life!


    “After getting rid of Joanna,


    by then the footage boy in two will leave Greyport and live in another ce. Wouldn’t you be happier


    like that?”


    Wace snorted. “What you’re doing is akin


    to


    hiring a contract killer.”


    Ingrid said, “I don’t care what you want to call it. Anyway, this is my condition. I don’t care what method


    you use so long as you kill Joanna.


    “I’ll make sure that the transfer of money into your ounts will go smoothly.


    “As long as Joanna dies, even if you want toe back to the Haynes Group to work, you can do so


    any time! Moreover, you will get money. How worthwhile!


    “Think about it carefully! Call me when you’ve made a decision.”


    As she spoke, Ingrid picked up her bag and prepared to leave.


    Wace blocked her way again and started groping her. “You’re leaving just like that?”


    Ingrid rolled her eyes. “If I don’t leave, what will happen?”


    “You don’t intend to y with us?” Wace asked.


    “I’m not in the mood today. Perhaps another day,” Ingrid said.


    In the past, she enjoyed fooling around with her two cousins.


    But now, she wanted to throw up at the sight of Wace and Oscar.


    Her cousins were such heartless men, and they even wanted to extort money from her. These men had


    slept with her and took her money. Now, they even wanted to threaten her. She had never seen such


    trashy men!


    After that, Ingrid left.


    Wace and Oscar started discussing with one another.


    “What should we do? Should we do it or not?”


    “It’s actually a good deal. We will get 2 million dors each by killing someone. That’s if we actually go


    through with it.”


    “Then we have to n well. We can’t possibly lose our lives just for that 2 million dors!”


    “You’re right. It’s best if we can think of a way to create an ident and let Joanna silently vanish from


    this world.”


    “But what if Ingrid doesn’t give us money after we get rid of Joanna?”


    “She wouldn’t dare!

    “She has so much evidence in our hands. She wouldn’t dare to not pay us!”


    “You have a point.”


    Meanwhile, in Porash.


    Joanna and Jaydon were in the process of arranging the factory’s offices.


    Suddenly, there was a ringing sound.


    Joanna’s phone rang.


    She saw that it was a call from Luna and quickly answered it.


    “Hello?” Joanna said.


    Luna’s anxious voice came from the other end of the phone. “Miss Haynes, I’ve got bad news!”


    Joanna’s heart ski pped a beat. “What is it?”


    “Just now, the Stark Group’s vice president called and said that he wanted to cut off the Haynes


    Group’s supply!”


    “When did this happen?” Joanna asked.


    Luna said anxiously, “He just called.”


    Joanna was so angry that she was rendered speechless.
