A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

Debby and Andrew decided to stay despite of being shut outside. They waited for them to change their mind about the situation.

After waiting for what seemed like an eternity, their faces lighted up when they heard a click. Someone had finally opened the door for them.

Bess and Abbott weren't home in the mansion so it was Mark who greeted them. He said to them, "Come in." When they have entered, Mark led them to his study.

Inside Mark's study, there was a sofa. He gestured to the sofa, "Have a seat." Debby and Andrew looked at each as they sat down. Mark took a seat also at his chair by desk, "So how's the plan going? Did Emily already drink it?" Mark's voice was cold as he narrowed his eyes at Debby and Andrew.

The couple felt chills down their spine at his piercing gaze. Their eyes searched for answers at each other. Andrew gulped and spoke up, "It didn't work out. Emily found out about it, so what do we do now?"

Mark banged his hands on the desk, causing the couple to flinch, "You idiots! You never do anything right!" His face was turning pale. He glared at them with wide eyes, "Do you want to know what you should do? Think of another plan!"

Fear was imminent in their faces, especially Debbie's. She tried to speak up, "B-but we can't! Emily has already found out about this! If Jacob comes back, he won't let us get away with it!" Debby was obviously concerned about their situation.

Mark sneered at her, "And so? What do you think you should do? Do I even need to answer such a stupid question? Simple. None of my business."

"How could you say that?" Debby tried to hold back her tears as she barked, "What do you mean it's none of your business? You asked us to poison Emily. When we were found out by her, you're suddenly leaving us hanging? How could you? How could you do this to us? You monster!"

"Oh? Did I really make you do that?" Mark raised an eyebrow and laughed sarcastically, "You did it on your own accord, all for the 50 million in my hand."

Debby wasn't going to have any of it. She pointed a finger at Mark, "We didn't get any money at all! You only gave us one million!"

"But you failed to affect Emily with the drugs I gave you, right?" Mark said.
