Under the Heiress' Facade



Chapter 775noveldrama

The plump woman's eyes widened in shock as she stared at her phone. She turned around to kick the skinny man beside her.

"Hey, Dick!" she yelled. "Why was 80 grand deducted from my account?"

The skinny man called Dick Morose fell to the ground as a result of that kick. Hastily, he got up from the ground.

Confused, he said, "I have no idea. Aren't you the one in charge of the bank account? How much did you say was deducted from the account?"

"Eighty grand!" the plump woman bellowed.

"The woman who came to get the abortion last night... Didn't she pay us 80 grand? She must be the one behind this!" Dick sounded certain.

After looking into the matter, the plump woman discovered that the money had been deducted from her account at around midnight.

"Damn it! That bitch... She sure has the guts to trick us!" She spat a mouthful of phlegm on the ground and said, "Heck, we do business in the black market. Does she really think we're pushovers?"

Then, she ordered, "Dick, go and bring her back to me! I'll teach her a lesson she'll never forget!"

In a dilapidated hut in the slums at the edge of the black market, flies were everywhere, and the stench was unbearable.

Everly lay curled up on a patch of wet straw, her face drained of color. It was hot and humid here, but she felt cold all over.

She had just had the fetuses taken out from her body at midnight. Now, she was still as frail and weak as ever. The blood stains on her pants had dried, but her pants became wet again. The foul smell of blood permeated the air.

In her arms was a glass bottle that contained a white, unknown liquid. Nine fetuses, none of which were fully developed, were soaked in the liquid.

With much difficulty, Everly took out a few pieces of gurdyroot and placed them in her mouth. She chewed them and swallowed them before pushing herself off the ground, her arms still tightly holding the glass bottle.

She had to bring these fetuses to another store here in the black market as soon as possible. They would be used for placentophagy. She could earn quite a bit of money from this.

When she finally stepped out of the hut, she saw a skinny man walking her way. Two burly men followed him from behind.

"You, bitch! How dare you trick us!" Dick rushed forth and slapped Everly across the face. Everly fell to the ground, and the glass bottle crashed to the ground with her, its contents spilling all over the floor.

Everly's mind went blank. A while later, her mind registered what was happening, and she blew her top.

"What are you doing?" she screamed. "Give me back my children!"

She remembered seeing the skinny man somewhere before. He was at the shop where she had gotten the abortion done.

"What am I doing? What did you do? Did you really think you could fool us?" Dick sniggered. "And you dare to tell me to compensate you!"

Then, to the men behind him, he ordered, "Bring her back to our boss."

The burly men dragged Everly back to the store, where the plump lady was waiting, and threw her to the ground.

"You're quite young," the plump lady sneered. "Yet you have the guts to deceive me!"

She planted a foot heavily on Everly's stomach. It caused Everly so much pain that her vision turned black for a moment.

"What do you mean? I didn't deceive you!" Everly cried in pain.

The plump woman then shoved her phone in Everly's face. "Take a look at this. You canceled the transaction, didn't you? You even reported my account!"

After calming herself down, Everly took the phone from the plump woman. She saw the details of the canceled transaction and a report about the woman's account being reported. Everly's face fell, but she was already so pale that no one could spot the change on her face. How did this happen? Did Wayne cancel the transaction and report the woman's account? How could he be so cruel?

The thought of being unable to pay for the fetuses made Everly quiver in fear. She hurriedly took her bank card from her pocket and handed it to the plump woman.

"That's impossible! I didn't do that!" Everly exclaimed in utter disbelief. "I don't even have a phone. How am I supposed to cancel the transaction, much less report your account

without a phone? You can swipe my card if you don't believe me."

The plump woman took the card and swiped it once. The transaction failed.

She swiped it for the second time that day, and the transaction still failed. It still didn't work on the third try.

"Fuck! How dare you lie to me!" the plump woman roared, throwing the card at Everly's face. "Since you don't have the money, I'll make you pay with something else!"

Everly knew exactly what the woman meant by that. It meant she'd have to pay with one of her organs. Her skin crawled at the thought.

"Sorry! It was my brother!" Everly pleaded with tears in her eyes. "My brother froze my account! Give me a week, and I'll get the money back for you!"

"A week?" Dick sneered. "You'd probably run away by then."

Everly fretted. "Three days! Give me three days, and I'll give you the money. I'll give you an

IOU."

The plump woman wasn't worried about Everly running from the debt. She readily agreed to the idea, "Okay, three days it is. You'll pay with your life if you don't give me the money in

three days."
