The man was rubbing his shoulders.
Upon her words, his hands froze, and a flicker of panic flashed in his eyes.
âWhoâs Ivy? I donât know her.
â
Tilda saw through his lie immediately.
His shifty eyes gave him away.
Without further argument, Tilda handed the phone back to him.
âGo back and tell Ivy that if she doesnât want to face any consequences, she should behave herself.
If she keeps troubling me, things will not end well for her.
â
She would never forget her motherâs death.
One day, she would make Renata and Ivy pay.
âNow get lost!â Keanu shouted angrily, raising his hand as if to strike the man.
The man flinched, scrambling to get away.
When he reached a quiet corner, the man rubbed his shoulder again and called Ivy.
âMiss Larson, I followed Tilda as you ordered and took photos of her with a man.
â
Ivy was overjoyed.
âReally? Send me the photos now.
â
âPlease, let me finish,â the man replied.
âHer lover caught me taking the photos.
He deleted them all and beat me up.
Tilda also wanted me to tell you that youâd better behave yourself.
She warned that if you keep troubling her, things wonât end well for you.
â
Ivy sneered, âThat bitch.
Does she really think I would be afraid of her?â
The man groaned, âMiss Larson, Iâm in a lot of pain right now.
You need to compensate me.
â
Ivy snapped, âYou didnât send me any photos.
Why should I compensate you?â
The man insisted, âEven if there were no photos, I still put in the effort.
I can continue to cooperate with you and keep following her.
â
There was a moment of silence.
Then Ivy said, âHow about you teach Tilda a lesson for me? I will not only compensate you but also give you extra money.
â
A crease formed on the manâs forehead as he addressed Ivy.
âMiss Larson, whatâs the plan, exactly? Just so weâre clear; Iâm not up for murder.
â
Getting jail time over a small sum was not acceptable to him.
Ivy sneered.
âNo need for killing.
Letâs scare her a bit.
Donât you get angry and want to take revenge after being beaten?â
Thoughts swirled in his mind, but he kept them to himself.
