Chapter 270

“Just a pretty face?” Chayce scowled.

That man’s commanding presence suggested he was anything but insignificant.

Shelia scoffed dismissively, “You don’t know that yet.

Remember the engagement party? It was all for show.

And that guy? He’s just Lindsey’s arm candy.

Just a pretty face, nothing more.

”

“Is that so?” Chayce replied, a hint of doubt in his voice.

He had assumed the man had some clout, but Shelia’s words suggested there was nothing to worry about.

“Why would I make this up? Lindsey admitted it to me herself.

Chayce, aren’t you short on cash? Let’s make a deal.

”

“What kind of deal?”

Shelia let out a derisive laugh.

“Take Lindsey down for me.

There’s a decent sum of cash in it for you.

”

Chayce’s brow creased with concern.

“And how do you propose to take her down?”

A cold glint sparked in Shelia‘’s eyes.

“Scar her pretty face, cut out her tongue, tarnish her name.

Make sure everyone knows she’s no good.

There are plenty of ways to ruin someone.

The point is to shatter her reputation.

”

“You’re asking me to break the law?” Chayce gazed into Shelia’s ruthless eyes.

She chuckled lightly and said, “The clever ones don’t leave behind proof, even when they break the law, right? Pull this off, and I’ll hand you a million dollars.

How about it? Are you in?™

A million dollars…

Chayce was torn.

“How come you’re so well-off?”

Shelia boasted proudly, “My boyfriend is Jacob, the vice president at Ray Films.

A few gigs there and I

make a mil easy.

Plus, I’ll be Mrs.

Perry soon enough.

They’re one of the top families around.

You know them, don’t you?”

Over an extended period, Jacob had been distant with Shelia, still upset from their last argument.

Eventually, his anger subsided, and he became open to seeing her again.

Shelia had made several attempts to mend things, finally managing to soothe Jacob’s feelings.

In recent days, Shelia had been contemplative.

To become Mrs.

Perry, she realized she needed to be less impulsive with her decisions.

Her mother had always said that a clever woman should keep her hands clean when dealing with others.

Meeting Chayce today presented Shelia with just the right opportunity.

Chayce was visibly impressed when he learned of Shelia’s connection to the prominent Perry family.

He remarked, “I hadn’t expected you to have ties with the Perry family.

You truly are Kendra’s daughter.

”

Both Kendra and Shelia were cunning and ruthlessness.

Well, Chayce found himself in quite a bind.

After losing his job, he fell into gambling and racked up a hefty debt.

One million dollars could wipe away his gambling debts but also leave him with a tidy sum of money with the rest.

And…

Chayce glanced at Shelia.

He saw her as a potential financial lifeline.
