CHAPTER 502: CHAPTER 502: MAD ABOUT MONEY

Ivana Monroe almost coughed up a mouthful of blood. She was initially quite grateful for his life-saving grace, but this man’s words were too harsh; she no longer had any feeling of gratitude left.

Julia Sinclair chuckled, looking proudly at Ivana. So what if someone came to rescue you? Compared to money, you’re still worthless.

Holding your necklace, buying someone to take your life, that’s pretty delightful too.

Richie suddenly reached out and snatched the necklace away.

Julia was shocked: "You..."

"What do you plan to do with this woman?" Richie asked nonchalantly.

Julia’s heart felt relieved. She thought that once this man took the diamond necklace, he wouldn’t carry out her orders! Apparently, she had overthought.

"I want her defiled by him, humiliated thoroughly, and then dead." Julia said venomously.

Thunder was utterly horrified. Is this woman insane? Asking him to defile the woman the boss fancies? If she wants to die, she shouldn’t drag him down with her!

Thunder shook his head like a rattle, fearfully saying to Richie: "Boss, she’s probably gone mad, spouting nonsense!"

"She’s not talking nonsense, I find what she said quite interesting." Richie said, his handsome face showing no expression, but those eerily dark eyes indicated to those who knew Richie that this was the prelude to a storm.

Ivana instinctively drew back her hand, her face pale; she had no confidence in this man, Richie.

Moreover, having escaped from him several times, this man must have long grown to hate her.

Perhaps... he wasn’t here to save her but regretted letting her and Timmy go back then.

The more Ivana thought, the more scared she became. If Richie really listened to Julia, she’d be done for in this wilderness.

"Um... the necklace is mine, if you like it, you can have it. Just let me go this time, and once we return to Ravenswood, I will give you money equivalent to the value of the necklace."

Promising so much money, Ivana’s heart was bleeding, but she couldn’t care anymore. Staying alive was hard; she needed to survive, to reunite with Timmy, Ian, and Leon Keane.

Richie paused, seeing how scared Ivana was of him, his lips twitched. So afraid of him? If not for her, would he have traveled all this way to rescue her?

Truly an ungrateful woman.

Richie felt a bit angry with Ivana; on second thought, he wasn’t angry anymore. Is it bad to fear him? She used to be so bold, even daring to use him. No one had ever dared to use him.

She should be made to fear him, tremble at the sight of him.

"Ivana, have you no shame? The necklace is mine; I just took it off my neck. How did it become yours?" Julia hatedly glared at Ivana, then said to Richie: "Don’t listen to her, this necklace is not hers. She just wants you to let her go. If you help me get this done, once back in Ravenswood, I can give you double the necklace’s worth."

Ivana was dumbfounded. How could there be such a shameless person as Julia in this world?

"You’re lying."

Julia taunted Ivana with her gaze. So what if she’s lying?

"Do you have that much money?" Richie said disdainfully.

Julia’s face changed, she stiffened her neck and said: "Yes, I have tons of money. Ten times, even; you know Chairman Jack Quinn in Ravenswood? I’m his only granddaughter-in-law."

After a pause, she continued: "I’m pregnant with the Quinn family’s heir. Imagine how valuable this heir is? Jack Quinn would spare no expense."

Pregnant with the Quinn family’s heir?

Richie’s gaze shifted to Julia’s belly, his beautiful eyes mocking. Those unaware of the truth would surely be deceived by Julia.

But he knew Jack Quinn had never touched Julia; the dumb man had done countless foolish things trying to pursue Julia.

In the end, what was his fate?

Richie’s lips tugged into a smile; serves him right! Only fools get cleanly used by a woman, ultimately not knowing how they died.

Ivana was somewhat shocked. Chairman Jack Quinn? Jack’s grandfather? Julia pregnant with Jack’s child? If so, Julia should not have said those things to her before, as if without her, Julia could marry Leon Keane.

"You’re lying." Ivana instantly exposed Julia’s lie: "You were waiting for me to die so you could marry Leon Keane, weren’t you? That makes it impossible for you to be pregnant with the Quinn heir."

"The Quinn family wouldn’t pay that much for you, several millions isn’t a small sum."

Julia wanted to tear Ivana’s mouth apart.

"Hahaha... how ridiculous, Ivana, you’re delusional. Me, wanting to marry Leon Keane? Are you sick? He killed Jack causing me to hate him. I want you to suffer to avenge Jack, tormenting Leon Keane."

"However, Leon Keane probably won’t be pained for long over you. Out with the old, in with the new; a wife can always be replaced."

"Bloodline’s different. Besides, I’m carrying the Quinn family’s only bloodline in my belly. In the end, Ivana, I’m far more precious than you."

Julia was jealous of Ivana, so jealous she could go mad, as if her words could truly surpass Ivana.

She was just fooling herself.

"You don’t want to admit what you said, and there’s nothing I can do about it." Ivana said, "But I know Leon Keane; he’s not a heartless person."

Feeling Richie’s low pressure.

Ivana didn’t understand where she offended him again, did he think she was less valuable than the child in Julia’s belly?

If so...

Ivana was extremely frightened. She took a deep breath and said: "However, money belonging to others is always theirs. Julia, relying on the Quinn family for money isn’t easy. I have GK, it’s doing quite well now; several million is about half a year to a year’s profit."

Ivana lifted her head, looking at Richie: "Even if I can’t give you several million all at once, I can pay you interest, higher than bank interest. You seek wealth; I seek life."

Thunder listened to Ivana and Julia’s conversation, almost falling asleep.

Actually, it’s not that complex.

Ivana, you just need to wink at the boss, say a sweet word, and the boss will heed your wishes.

It’s filled with mosquitoes here in the mountains; he’s been bitten several times already. Please, just be nice to the boss quickly!

The boss came here for you, didn’t he? Why can’t you see his intentions?

Richie gazed at Ivana’s beautiful face, somewhat dazed, with improper thoughts swirling in his mind, driving him crazy.

He pinched Ivana’s chin: "That’s what you said; I want ten years of interest from you. Can you do it?"

Ivana’s eyes widened; this man looks quite handsome, but is he insane about money?

Ten years of interest, not even stealing money demands this much.

For survival, Ivana gritted her teeth: "Alright, I promise you."

Richie curled his lips into a smile: "From now on, I’m your creditor. If you run when you see me, watch how I deal with you."

Ivana: "..."

Thunder laughed, damn, finally it’s over.
