Chapter 127
“Why should I trust you?”
With a mocking grin, the man sneered.
“Do you think you’ve got a say in this? Now that I’ve brought you here without anyone noticing, I can just as easily make you vanish without a trace.
”
Olivia’s body shook with fear.
““Okay- I, I promise you.
”
As soon as she uttered those words, she sensed someone thrusting something into her arms.
She extended her hand to touch it and was surprised to discover a bundle of cash!

“These are the deposits.
Keep this in mind.
Don’t let anyone else know about it.
If you dare to tell anyone, I will make not just you vanish but your whole family, too.
You have a grandmother, don’t you?”
Upon hearing this, Olivia crumpled to the floor, her hands quivering uncontroLlably.
“I won’t tell a soul, even at the cost of my life!”
Right after she spoke, a wave of dizziness washed over her, and she slipped back into unconsciousness.
From start to finish, Domenic remained silent, his gaze icy as he observed the events in the room, a cigarette hanging from his lips.
Soon after, his men escorted Olivia out.
Upon waking the following day, Olivia realized she was resting in her bed.
The events of last night felt like a dream, but when she sat up, bundles of cash tumbled from her form.
She couldn’t help but freeze.
It dawned on her that it wasn’t a dream.
At that moment, the true gravity of what had transpired the previous night became crystal clear to her.

Upon returning home, Lindsey discovered that Domenic was nowhere to be found.
She had plans to pack her belongings and leave in a few days, but to her surprise, Domenic sent her a message, almost as if he had foreseen it coming.
He mentioned he was busy and wouldn’t return soon.
He also advised that it wasn’t safe for her to stay alone and suggested she remain.
Lindsey hesitated briefly, her teeth gently pressing against her lip, but in the end, she accepted his kindness.
But she didn’t sleep well the whole night, which left her feeling unsteady at work the next day.
Around noon, just as Lindsey was preparing to leave work, a call came in from the receptionist.
“Lindsey, you’ve got two visitors waiting to see you.
They say they are your parents.
”
Lindsey’s brow creased in confusion.
What could they possibly want now?
Recalling the day her dad had shown her the door in favor of Kendra, Lindsey still harbored a deep-seated resentment.
