At this point,she smiled again and asked me,"Guess why he wants to sell the house?"
I wiped the sweat off my face and answered bravely,"I think...it's because he thinks it's not auspicious?"
"You're wrong.It's because Amy likes the life abroad,and he has no money now,"she sneered."After Lily died,the business connections that David had through Lily's father were also cut off,and his business went downhill.He wants to sell the house,get the money,and take Amy far away."
She suddenly laughed out loud and said,"Do you think this is a huge joke?"
I felt a shiver down my spine and was sweating profusely.I asked timidly,"What's so funny about it...?"
She mocked,"A woman from a wealthy family doesn't know how to enjoy life but instead becomes a total love fool.She provides resources,connections,and money for a poor boy who rises above his station.She even throws away her whole future for him.Isn't that a huge joke?"
I had wanted to ask several times if the friend she was talking about was actually herself.
But it was obvious that there was no need to ask.The answer was clear.
So,I said directly,"Miss Lily,I understand the intention of your telling me this.I will help you achieve your goal."
She looked at me in disbelief for a long time before saying,"Then what's in it for you?"
I smiled bitterly and said,"There's no benefit.Although I did come here to earn this quick money because I was unemployed and heartbroken,I can't do anything against my conscience."
She seemed interested and said,"Oh?Tell me more."
I pretended to be relaxed and said,"Actually,there's nothing much to it.The IT industry is not doing well now,and I was laid off by the company.My girlfriend left me because I was poor.But don't worry,I won't do anything against my conscience for this hundred and fifty thousand dollars."
"Why do you want to help me?"she asked.
"For no reason,"I shrugged."I'm just a person with integrity.Otherwise,I wouldn't be so poor that all my pockets are empty."
Her face was still extremely pale,but I didn't feel so scared anymore.
I adjusted the lights in the living room and turned on the one with the weakest light.Then I took out my phone and took several videos of her.
She also cooperated very well.Under the faint light,she looked even paler and more terrifying in the videos.
After taking the videos,it was almost dawn.We walked out of the villa together and went our separate ways.
