Chapter 1352

Walter looked up before Hylda could finish her sentence, and her expression shifted. “Why are you here? Didn’t I give you the money already?”

Walter had lost a lot of weight in just two days. His hair was streaked gray, and his cheekbones were protruding. It was as if he had aged ten years within that short span of time.

Upon hearing Hylda mention the money, Walter’s eyes darkened. “There are some things I need to discuss with you, Mrs. Jewell,” He said in a deep voice.

However, Hylda wanted nothing more to do with him and replied coldly, “I’ve given you what you asked for. There’s nothing left for us to talk about. From now on, you deal with your illness, and I’ll carry on with my life.”

She was about to close the door when Walter used his foot to block the door. The look on his face was even more sinister than before. “Let me in!”

Hylda remained unyielding. “If you don’t leave, I’ll have the property management remove you!” She reached for her phone and was ready to make the call.

This action infuriated Walter. He suddenly pulled out a knife from his pocket and pressed it against Hylda’s waist. “I said, let me in!”

Hylda was petrified. Her hand trembled, as her phone fell to the floor. The gleaming blade emitted a chilling presence. It was sharp enough to pierce through her flesh with the slightest movement.

Hylda turned pale, trembling as she moved aside for Walter to enter. “Walter… What are you doing?

We can talk things out if you want….”

“Shut up!” Walter’s expression was threatening. He forcefully pushed Hylda inside and slammed the door shut with a loud thud.

“Was it you? Was it you who arranged for someone to rob me of the money?”

Hylda did not understand his question. “Huh? Rob you?

What are you talking about?”

“Stop pretending!” Walter yelled as he stared at her with a ruthless gaze. His bony face, paired with his prominent veins, made him look terrifying. “After I received the money, a group of masked individuals came up and robbed me! This happened as soon as you left. It looked like they knew about our deal;

they were waiting to attack. Don’t tell me you didn’t do it when only you and I were involved in the transaction!”

Hylda felt wronged. She had indeed contemplated not giving Walter any money and having someone to rough him up a bit. But she no longer had enough funds to hire shady people for such actions. It could easily backfire, and she might end up in trouble herself. So, despite the pain of handing over two million dollars, she still gave it to him for the sake of her own safety.

Now, upon hearing that Walter’s money had been stolen, she panicked. “Walter, I swear this wasn’t my doing. I wouldn’t have given you the money in the first place if I was behind it.

I wouldn’t go through all this trouble. Did you tell anyone else about our deal?”

Walter gritted his teeth. “I didn’t contact anyone except you! I know you better than Albert does, Hylda.

You’re greedy, cunning, and malicious! You were the one who encouraged Rainee to go through the surrogacy procedure. You got her pregnant, forced her to have an abortion, and permanently destroyed her ability to conceive. Everything that has happened was all on you! If you’re willing to harm the person who helped you for the sake of your own wealth and luxury, you’re capable of anything!”

His words were filled with rage, and his hand trembled while holding the knife.

Hylda’s face grew several shades paler, as she was afraid that he would stab her. But she held down her fear and spoke softly. “Walter, please calm down. Whether you believe me or not, I had nothing to do with this. I’ll get you the money again if you need it. Let’s focus on getting you medical treatment first, okay?”

As soon as she finished speaking, someone sent her a message, and her phone beeped.

Hylda clenched her hand and said in a hoarse voice, “If you don’t believe me, we can go to the bank together and withdraw another fifty thousand dollars for you. I’ll also have someone investigate the robbery. How does that sound?”

Walter remained silent, seemingly weighing the credibility of Hylda’s words. After a long pause, he picked up Hylda’s phone and unlocked the screen to reveal a message from Albert.

[Have you given Walter the five million dollars? Has he left Rivera yet?]
