Novel1Chapter 448:
Undeterred, Emideclared, “You'll have to cough up twenty thousand for my medical check-up.”
Kristopher, his voice cold and cutting, suggested, “Why don’t we call the police? They'd love to handle an
extortion case like this.”
At his words, Emilio’s confidence evaporated. His defiant expression melted into a nervous grin as he
stammered, “Wait, no need for that. Mr. Norris, it's me! My mom works for your family as a housekeeper. I've
been to Bayview Villa, and you've seenbefore. Remember?”
Carrie raised an eyebrow in mild surprise. Despite the controversy surrounding Willow's dismissal, it seemed her
son had no idea about her termination.
Intimidated by Kristopher’s icy demeanor, Emibacktracked. “I’m serious, Mr. Norris. | did get hit, but just a
little. How about two thousand? That's all I need for a doctor's visit.”
“It's not much to ask, right?” Emipressed, a hint of arrogance still lingering in his voice.
Carrie shot a glance at him, a dull headache starting to creep in. She couldn't tell if it was from the stress of
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtrecent events or the biting chill of the wind, but she felt unwell, her body heavy with growing drowsiness. Letting
out a weary sigh, she waved her hand dismissively. “Just give him the two thousand, Oliver,” she said.
Turning toward Kristopher, she added, “I'm not feeling well. | don’t have the energy for this. Just handle it and
get rid of him, please.”
Kristopher, unfazed, gave a short grunt in acknowledgment. He despised being manipulated, but it was clear
Emifeared him enough not to push his luck further. Besides, Emihad already dropped his outrageous
demand from twenty thousand to a far more reasonable two thousand. Given how minor the situation was, two
thousand seemed like a small price to pay for speace. He decided it was worth the expense to avoid further
.
Oliver, acknowledging the decision made by Kristopher and Carrie, pulled out his phone. His tone was curt as he
addressed Emilio. “Nand bank account.”
Emilio’s demeanor shifted to one of exaggerated gratitude. He bowed slightly, flashing a sheepish grin. “Thank
you, Mr. Norris. Thank you, Mrs. Norris.” Then, turning to Oliver, he added, “EmiReed. The account number is
34."
When she heard his name, Carrie hesitated, finding it vaguely familiar. However, the discomfort weighing on her
was too much to dwell on. She simply drew her legs closer and sank deeper into herself.
Kristopher noticed her unease immediately.
Without a word, he picked up a blanket and draped it over her. “Should | have Dr. Molina cby the house?” he
asked softly.
Carrie shook her head weakly, her words barely audible. “No need. I think | just caught a chill standing outside.
It's nothing serious. | had sfish on set earlier—it was way too fishy. I've been feeling nauseous since. | just
need to rest.”
Meanwhile, Oliver finished the transfer and glanced back at Emiwith a sharp warning. “The money's been
sent. But letbe clear—everything today was captured on the dashcam and street cameras. If you try
anything like this again, you won't get off so easily. Also, your mother, Willow, was dismissed long ago. She has
no ties to the Norris family anymore.”
“Dismissed?” Emimuttered, pulling out his phone to check his mobile banking app. The transaction alert
stared back at him.
