Chapter 123

I intend to drive you back anyway. I’m your driver for today,” Josiah babbled. He then added, “Take it that I’m begging you. Quickly settle that branch family of yours. I’ll truly die of fatigue if you continue pretending to be dead.”Xavier scowled. “You don’t have to urge me.”I also hope to “rise from the dead” soon. I still need to collect some debts from Dumbo. These emotional debts are very complicated. I’m afraid they can’t get settled within a year and a half. I can’t possibly sneak around like this for that long!Thus, before Winnie could walk over, the suspicious black car that Nancy mentioned left the scene.The black car sped off and was also far away from Winnie. Therefore, she couldn’t see the license plate clearly.On the other hand, Josiah caught a glimpse of the woman’s silhouette in the rearview mirror.He couldn’t help but exclaim, “Fortunately, we left earlier.

Are you talking about the ten percent shares that belong to Hamish’s wife, Yara?” Winnie questioned.“Oh, sweetie. You do know everything. From your tone, it doesn’t seem to be a predicament to you. Nonetheless, that woman is truly hard to handle. She wouldn’t fall into whatever trap we set for her,” Nathaniel replied.“That’s for sure.” Winnie chortled disdainfully. “She only knows how to seize others’ properties and never use her possessions to invest. Since she doesn’t invest, she naturally wouldn’t walk into our trap. Nevertheless, it’s not an issue for me. You can leave it to me.”“All right, I’ll wait for your good news then. Anyway, do you want
