Chapter 56
In desperation, Estella could only discuss countermeasures with her daughter.
Harriet's eyes widened in anger when she heard her mother's words.
"Mom, what did you say? Someone blackmailed you?"
Harriet was a little incredulous.
"Yes, we had a deal. I offered 300,000 dollars. They were supposed to take a candid video of Arya. I
will pay cash on delivery. I didn't expect that they had recorded the call."
Estella was also very angry that they had gone back on their word.
Harriet was already in a mess. Estella had done something like this again. She was very unhappy.
"Mom, why can't you be careful?"
"How did I know that they were scoundrels? Am I not angry? I did this for you! If he knew that Arya was
the woman that night, would Xavier still like you? I did this so to prevent Xavier from chasing her back
even if he knew the truth. Why don't you understand my painstaking efforts? You are even angry with
me!"
Estella was also angry.
Who was she doing it for? She did this for her daughter's sake and for the good of this family.
Harriet let out her anger. She took out a card and threw it to Estella. "Mom, solve this problem. Don't let Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.
anyone know."
Harriet didn't tell Estella that Xavier might have a lover.
Even if he did, she would marry into the Jones Family.
When she married into the Jones Family, she would deal with his lover.
So now she wouldn't allow any accidents to ruin her wedding.
"I see." Estella took the card and put it in her bag.
On the other side, Howard's three subordinates looked at Howard eagerly. "Howard, didn't we get
something for nothing? Will our secret be exposed?"
They didn't have a recording at all.
Howard glanced at the three of them coldly and pointed at them. "Why are you so f*cking stupid?"
"We didn't record it before. But this time, we could record it."
As he spoke, he played the recording of Estella's call to the three of them.
After hearing this, the three of them nodded. "Howard is so smart."
Howard hit the man in front of him on the head. "If you dare to take private work in the future, I'll not let
you go."
"No, not anymore." They had done so many things. But this time, they were unlucky and irritated a big
shot.
Howard snorted. "Where's the money from the private work?"
The three of them paused, then quickly smiled and said, "It's only 300,000 dollars. We've spent almost
everything..."
Howard raised his eyebrows and pointed at them. "Do you eat money? You spent it all over these
days?"
He pointed his forehead. "Do you think I'm a fool? I'll believe what you say?"
"No, no." The three of them did not dare to lie anymore and took out the money.
Howard looked at them coldly. "Didn't you say it was all spent?"
"Howard, we are sorry."
"Hmph!"
Howard didn't take the money they gave him. "If you can get away with it this time, try to do your best."
"Howard, we won't dare to do it again."
They knew that Howard was using this to warn them. If he was really angry with them, he wouldn't
have saved them.
Soon it was the next day.
Estella took the money to the agreed place.
Howard had already arrived. Looking at the man she never saw before, Estella was instantly alert.
"Who are you?"
Howard ignored her and went straight to the point. "Do you have enough money?"
"If you don't make it clear, I won't give you the money."
"Well, then you just wait to be famous. The whole W City will know what a vicious person you are."
Howard was much smarter than those three idiots.
He knew that Estella cared so much about the reputation that she didn't dare to make a big deal out of
it. So he pinched her weakness.
Today, she had to give in.
After saying that, Howard pretended to leave. Before he could take two steps, Estella stopped him.
"Can you keep your word and not tell others about our deal?"
"Yes."
Howard shrugged and promised, "Don't worry, I won't threaten you twice with the same thing."
As he spoke, he took out his phone. The recording was on the phone. "I can even give you my phone."
Estella hesitated, "I believe you once. Next time you fail me, I will never let you go."
Howard sneered. 'Not letting me go?'
He just found it ridiculous.
She paid him money. Estella asked him, again and again, to make sure, "You didn't trick me, did you?"
"I gave you all the evidence." Howard spread his hands.
Estella glared at him hatefully. "If you dare to threaten me again, I will skin you."
After that, she left angrily.
Howard looked at the bank card in his hand playfully. The three subordinates, walking out of the dark,
snickered and said, "I took a picture of you talking and trading just now."
Howard nodded with satisfaction. He had a lot of tricks.
"Send it to Mrs. Harrison tonight."
The three of them laughed evilly.
Estella breathed a sigh of relief when the matter was settled.
She went to the beauty salon then.
When she came out, she was refreshed and went to the mall to buy a piece of fur clothing for 160,000
dollars.
She didn't feel distressed. After all, she didn't have to earn the money. Harriet gave her the money to
solve the problem this time.
At that time, she bought it and wore it. When she met her card partners, she showed it off.
Although the card partners were unhappy, she indeed envied her. "You have a good daughter."
The subtext was that she gained some advantage from her daughter. If her daughter had no
relationship with the Jones Family, would she be here today?
Estella didn't care. She thought it was a compliment. She deliberately smoothed the fur on her body
and said proudly, "I did have a good daughter. She looks pretty just like me."
As she spoke, she looked up at her card partners. "You don't have such an outstanding daughter."
The corners of her card partners' mouths twitched. Estella was arrogant.
"My daughter doesn't need a man. She can support herself without selling herself to make money."
One of the card partners was straightforward.
Even if Estella was an idiot, she understood. Her face was red with anger. She cursed, "Who are you?
The Jones Family wants to marry my daughter. Don't be jealous."
The card partner refused to give in. "Don't spend other people's money if you don't have the ability.
Who doesn't know that your family is thriving because of the Jones Family? It's not your own ability.
Why did you show off?"
Estella was so angry that she couldn't say anything more. She started to fight with her.
This scene was seen by a passerby who took a video of them.
In just two hours, click volume reached a million.
Jacob went to the bathroom. When he was browsing Tik Tok to kill his time, he saw the video.
This woman was not only vicious but also shrewish.
She even fought with others in public.
She probably pretended to be dignified and generous.
Jacob thought if his boss knew about his future mother-in-law's virtue, what would he feel?
'Would he be angry?'
The more he thought about it, the more excited Jacob became.
Jacob put his phone in his pocket. After washing his hands, he went straight to the president's office...
