Chapter 68 - 68: The New Investor
"How dare that jerk use my money to pay me what he owes? Does he think I'm a fool?" Amelia said clenching her fist. She didn't need to dig deeper to know that Jerry must have fooled Gwen to get money out of her.
Although Jerry and Gwen were both involved in her kidnap and attempted assassination, Amelia had a strong feeling that Gwen knew nothing about Jerry's other side. Not only was he an A-level con artist with an impressive pedigree at scheming women, but he also had a very devious and dangerous personality that Gwen ought to be wary about.
However, Amelia didn't feel any pity for Gwen. Since she had decided to dine with the devil without bringing a long spoon, then she should deal with the consequences.
Amelia picked up her phone and dialed Marcus's number.

"Good morning Marcus. Can I please ask you for a little favor?" Amelia asked, not wanting to disturb Blaze after everything he had done for her earlier.
"Definitely ma'am. Please, go ahead."
"Okay, I just received words from Mr Herman, informing me that my ex had just paid the sum of roughly three billion dollars as divorce and compensation settlement. But I have a feeling that he had my stepsister pay the money from the loot she has stashed. I need to find out the exact bank, accounts and amounts involved in this transaction.

When she returned to the conference room, she observed that Tyler had changed his sitting position, taking an empty seat beside hers.
Although Amelia found this awkward, this wasn't the first time she was dealing with men who were attracted to her. She always had a way of making them feel special without having to lose her guard. But with her extremely jealous contract husband now in the picture, she was slightly worried about how long this investment would survive.
"Miss Amelia, I hope you don't mind me sitting here. There are some documents I would like to show you."
"That won't be a problem. But my lawyer will soon be here to join us." Amelia said taking her seat while maintaining a professional conversation.

Back at the Shawls mansion, Regina hurried into her room and quickly shut the door behind her to receive a coded call.
"How did you go?"
"Splendid. Tyler just needs to work his way up. She will be at our mercy in a matter of months."
"You are a darling." Regina beamed slyly.
"But remember, for the mission to succeed, not a soul aside from you must know about this."
"My lips are sealed."
"You owe me and your payments are long overdue."
Regina chuckled softly in her sultry tone. "Yes, dear, you are a darling. I will come to you when the coast is clear."
"I can't wait, bumpkin. Kisses"
"Lots of Kisses." Regina ended the call, an evil grin spreading across her face
