“Okay, but you only have five minutes,” Allie reluctantly agreed. She cautiously placed the computer bag on the table, unzipped it, and retrieved the laptop from inside.

As soon as the laptop powered on, Natalie immediately began searching through its contents. Unfortunately, Charis had wiped everything clean. Not even a single file remained in the trash bin.

Natalie’s attention then turned to the browser history. A peculiar website caught her eye, and she clicked on it, relieved to find that it logged in automatically. Suddenly, a chat box popped up, revealing the last message from a mysterious individual selling drugs. The message expressed a desire for Charis to succeed.

“Succeed in what?” Natalie furrowed her brow, scrolling upwards in hopes of finding their previous conversation.

“I think you’ve found what you want,” Allie sneered, abruptly shutting the laptop.

Natalie felt that the answers she sought lay within that website, but she had barely scratched the surface. Allie packed up the laptop with confidence and looked directly at Natalie.

“Give me the money first, Mrs. Larson.”

Natalie’s determination grew as she sensed she was nearing the truth. She believed that the information on Charis’s laptop would help restore Brandon’s memories. However, there was a problem: she didn’t have two million dollars to pay Allie at the moment.

Frustrated, Natalie clenched her teeth and said, “I don’t have two million in my account right now. I’ll have to step out and make a phone call to see if anyone can lend me the money. Just because I come from a wealthy family doesn’t mean money magically appears for me.”
