Attracted By My Ex-wife

Alan looked up, hatred in his eyes. "What? You have a problem with this commission?"

The man raised his head slightly. The brim of his hat rode a little higher, so Alan could see more of his face. What kind of face was it? The scars crisscrossing his dark face could only be described in terrible terms.

It startled him, and he involuntarily took a step back.

The expression on his face changed slightly. He plucked up his courage and continued, "Well, I'll give you fifty million after it's done."

"Mr. Alan, it's not about the money." Perhaps this man realized that his appearance had frightened Alan. He immediately lowered his head and his voice was full of foreboding. "Kevin is a powerful man. We wouldn't want to anger him."

Alan certainly understood their reason. He couldn't afford to offend Kevin, but he understood money was often a powerful motivator.

"How about eighty million?" Alan impatiently took out a check from his pocket and handed it to the man, "Here is fifty million. And another thirty million once your job is done."

"I'm sorry, Mr. Alan. We can't take this contract. I think you need to find someone else." The man lowered the brim of his hat and returned the documents in his hand to Alan, preparing to leave.

As soon as he lifted his foot, Alan spoke again.

"I think the media might be very interested in what you've done in the past. You have to understand—I'm used to getting what I want."

A sinister smile appeared on Alan's face. Looking at the man's back, which was a little stiff, he continued, "You don't want your family to know that, do you?"

The man didn't expect that Alan would do this. He was stunned. He turned his back to Alan. "You're playing a dangerous game. What do you want?"

Normally, Alan would never threaten others like that, but he was determined to get justice. Anne really pissed him off.

"I want her gone, but it needs to look like an accident. A car accident."

It would be best if he could kill Anne. If he couldn't, she deserved to be disabled, to suffer the way Ruth did. As long as he could get justice for Ruth, Alan was willing to pay no matter how much money it took.

"A car accident?" The man's body trembled. "Do you want her dead?"

"At least disabled." Alan narrowed her eyes and said viciously, "I'll be satisfied if you arrange for a car to hit her and cripple her."

The man lowered his head and kept silent for a long time.

"Well? I need at least a nod, and the fifty million is yours."

Alan approached the man and he seemed to move his head hesitantly. He tucked the check into the assassin's pocket. "You've always been efficient. I'll wait for your report."

After saying that, Alan tidied up his clothes and left the rooftop.

It took the man a long time to raise his head and look in the direction Alan left. He took the check from his pocket, looked at the numbers on it, and finally made up his mind.
