Rejected No More: I Am Way Out Of Your League, Darling!

Chapter 779:

“Look, Aunt, you’ll eventually move to the retirement home, so don’t stress about the cost. You can afford this hotel, and it’s important for women to indulge themselves, right?” That settled the matter.

When Elyse reluctantly processed the million-dollar payment, she couldn’t help but regret her decision.

Later, back in their room, Natalie called Russell, her voice tight with frustration. “When will Daniela be out of the picture?”

It sounded like Russell was in the middle of a card game. “She’s still going to be around because you haven’t paid enough.”

Natalie was exasperated. “What the hell are you talking about? I transferred a hundred million to you!”

Russell responded distractedly, “Oh, I should mention, there are fees for interbank transfers, and the currency exchange rate complicates things. Let me check… Well, you still need to give us three million.”

Natalie was incredulous. “Is this some kind of scam?”

Of course, it was. But Russell didn’t say that.

He chuckled and reassured her, “Not at all, we run a legitimate business. Send over the three million, and we’ll handle Daniela immediately.”

Natalie quickly checked the balance in her account.

Even after adding Elyse’s money, their total assets barely reached five million dollars.

Once she handed over three million, only two million was left—an amount that, in her world, wouldn’t even cover the cost of a evening gown.noveldrama

Feeling the financial strain, she turned to Elyse and asked, “More time to use your savings.”

She was referring to the shares Daniela had given Elyse.

Elite Lux was massive—its dividends alone were enough to support a lavish lifestyle for quite some time.

Elyse’s expression turned to shock. “Every penny I have is right here. What savings? Natalie, I barely recognize you these days.”

That night, their heated argument escalated like never before. Unaware, they were being watched by a pair of cold, calculating eyes, silently taking in everything.

The next day, Lillian was playing a game on her phone while chatting with Daniela. “Natalie is desperate to get rid of you. She’s selling designer bags at a flea market just to scrape together three million dollars.”

Daniela arched an eyebrow, letting out a low chuckle. “I suppose I should thank her for the effort.”

A few days later, Natalie stared at her almost empty account and took a deep breath.

With resolve, she transferred the money to Russell and called him. “Hey, the three million’s been sent. Check it.”

Russell, busy with a game of cards, responded lazily, “Alright, let me see… Yep, three million dollars received.”

Just as Natalie was about to press him to take action, Russell’s indifferent voice came through. “So, when are you sending the remaining three million?”

Stunned, Natalie nearly shouted, “I just sent you three million!” Russell’s tone remained casual. “Yeah, but the rest of the payment is still missing. You think we don’t charge interest?”
