Conquest Game: The Aloof Husband is Dangerous!-Chapter 165 - 154: Is He Really That Annoying?

Stella Jennings was unmoved, "As for this so-called deal, your information indeed belongs to me, but now, how long do I own it? Just a few hours? Giving you half a million in such a short time is a mercy on my part, but if you keep pestering me, don’t blame me for being harsh!"

Phoebe Turner decided to go all out, "Miss Jennings, you are a renowned figure. What if I start blabbing outside about how someone as big as you is untrustworthy and deceived a regular person like myself? How do you think outsiders would see you then?"

Stella Jennings was furious, "You’re threatening me?"

Phoebe Turner sneered, "Since Miss Jennings was the first to breach integrity, why should I be afraid? I’m just a regular person; nobody knows me, but you, Miss Jennings, are not the same. You’re a wealthy heiress, do you also have no shame just like me?"

Stella Jennings never imagined she would run into such a rascal, but she’s not easy to deal with either.

She reprimanded coldly, "Phoebe Turner, do you know who’s supporting Laura Quincy from behind? Do you think if I reveal that you’re the one who sold me this information, what would happen? Threaten me? You still have much to learn!"

This statement truly startled Phoebe Turner, "You..."

Stella Jennings scoffed, "If you’re smart, shut your mouth! Don’t forget you signed a confidentiality agreement, violating the rules could land you in jail!"

Suddenly, Phoebe Turner shouted loudly, "Stella Jennings, even if I go to jail, I’ll drag you down with me!"

Stella Jennings sneered, "I’m afraid you don’t have that kind of power. You know my background is strong. What makes you think you can fight me?"

She shifted her tone, "I think you better pray for yourself! I’ve already been caught, you’re not far behind. Even if I give you another fifty thousand, it won’t save you!"

With that, she directly hung up the phone, then added Phoebe Turner to the blacklist.

Listening to the "beep beep beep" on the phone, Phoebe Turner was so furious her chest was heaving violently. What did Stella Jennings mean in her last sentence?

Who exactly is the man behind Laura Quincy?

Could it be Fourth Young Master Hawthorne?

Ruth Leighton noticed her daughter’s expression, sensing something bad, "What happened? What did that Miss Jennings say?"

Phoebe Turner’s face was gloomy, "She refuses to pay anymore."

Ruth Leighton immediately cursed, "Shameless bitch! How dare she deceive us!"

Phoebe Turner was still pondering Stella Jennings’s words...

Just then, the landline at home suddenly rang, and Ruth Leighton reflexively didn’t want to answer, so she called for a servant to answer. She instructed them to say she wasn’t at home if someone asked for her...

Upon hearing this reply, the caller directly said: "Then inform Ruth Leighton that if she doesn’t repay the five million today, she will start working as a garbage collector from tomorrow until she pays back the entire amount."

After hearing the servant’s relay of the message, Ruth Leighton almost fainted, quickly rushing over to grab the phone, "Who are you? Don’t think you can scare me with this!"

Mason Cross replied in a chilling tone, "Really? Then Ms. Leighton should wait for tomorrow morning!"

Then, he hung up the phone.

Ruth Leighton collapsed on the floor, unable to get up for a long time...

Phoebe Turner frowned, "Mom, isn’t this just a scam call? Why are you so scared?"

Ruth Leighton sighed, "Let’s hope that’s the case."

Under her daughter’s comfort, Ruth Leighton gradually relaxed, "Phoebe, do you think this person could have been hired by that little bitch Laura Quincy to intimidate us?"

Phoebe Turner pondered for a moment, "It’s certainly possible! How could things be so coincidental? Moreover, Laura Quincy’s tone was so firm that day, there must be something suspicious!"

Ruth Leighton thought about it and felt her daughter’s words made a lot of sense. Who important does Laura Quincy know? She definitely did it on purpose to scare me and make me uncomfortable!

Hmph! Her tricks won’t succeed!

Thinking of this, she suddenly felt empowered and comforted herself, "That little bitch surely wants to defeat us through psychological warfare, truly a scheming bitch! Even hired someone to call and threaten me!"

The more Ruth Leighton thought about it, the angrier she became, wishing she could tear Laura Quincy apart right now.

Phoebe Turner chimed in, "Mom, you shouldn’t let things like this bother you from the beginning; it’s all because you’re too timid, otherwise...

Before she could finish, Victor Turner suddenly stormed in angrily, directly tossing some document onto Ruth Leighton.

"What’s going on? You still haven’t gathered the five million you owe Laura Quincy?"

Ruth Leighton was immediately aggrieved, "Darling, the money has long gone. I... don’t have that much money now! Besides, we’ve raised Laura Quincy for so many years. She has no reason to come after us..."

Victor Turner coldly interrupted her, "Since you entered this house, the money given to Laura Quincy can be counted on one hand! Apart from the three years of high school tuition and living expenses, did she ever get a dime from the family during college?"
