"She'll pay."

Jinny angrily pointed at Lola. If Lola had not dragged her into this, she would not have ended up in such a sorry state.

Lola's lip was bleeding from how hard she bit in in frustration as she helplessly watched Freya leave Splendor & Co.

Splendor & Co. was owned by the Austin Corporation where Bradley was now the CEO. If she did not pay up today, she knew that there was no way she would be allowed to leave. She might even end up in prison.

With Freya's tricks, imprisonment was nothing. There might be something even more vicious waiting for her.

Freya had photos of Lola messing around with various older men. If Freya used the same tactic as the one she used against Lola's mom, her life would be ruined.

No! She had endured the humiliation for too long. This should not be her fate.

Freya had caused Lola so much misery, so Lola would not just let Freya go.

As Lola seethed in anger, she called her benefactor.

The moment the call was answered, she spoke with a coquettish voice that echoed through the room.

"Darling, I don't have enough money to buy the piece of jewelry I want. Can you help me pay for it?"

The reply was a loud curse by an impatient voice.

"Didn't I give you two million, Lola?"

Lola pushed through the humiliation and continued to coyly reply, "Two million isn't enough. The bracelet I have my eye on costs ten million. I really like it."

"Ten million?" The man was shocked. Then, he continued in an even more unpleasant voice. "Are you worth that much? If it weren't for your looks, I would've abandoned you long ago. Don't even think about getting a single cent out of me."

"Also, return the bracelet and get back here now."

Lola's face had alternated between blushing and turning pale in embarrassment. She felt especially humiliated after noticing the looks from everyone around her.

However, she had no other choice. Thus, she could only endure the humiliation as she continued to persuade the other party.

"Help me pay for it, and I promise I'll give you a really good time later."

It was evident the man did not believe her as his shouts grew even more insulting.

Lola could not bear it anymore and instantly retorted with a threat, saying, "Walter Keating, enough! If you don't pay for me today, I'll send the photos of us together to your wife."

After saying that, she hung up in anger.

While Lola might lower herself to do things, but she would not allow herself to be pushed around.

Her sugar daddy was a 50-year-old real estate developer who was still perverted enough to enjoy fooling around for the thrills, yet he was afraid of his wife.

Lola had left a trump card up her sleeve during her time with him. Not only had she recorded videos, but she also took photos. She had no fear of Walter not paying up.

...

The Keatings' home.

In the living room.

Walter was so angry that he smashed his phone.

Darn this witch! She had a trump card up her sleeve.

Walter angrily shot to his feet, ready to personally punish Lola for this.

Just then, a sweet voice called out to him from outside.

"Dad, the day after tomorrow is Cloudstone Corporation's celebration. I don't have a decent dress to wear. How am I supposed to attend?" Diana walked into the house and held a hand out. "Give me money. I want to buy a dress."

Walter was already furious about Lola, so he was very annoyed to find his step-daughter asking him for more money. "Didn't I just give you five million the other day? Where do you even spend the money?"

"What can that paltry sum do? It's not even enough for a piece of jewelry." Diana examined her newly manicured nails and casually said, "If you don't give me more money, I'll just wear a shabby dress on that day. You'll be the one embarrassed then."

Walter was so angry that his cheeks were wobbling.

He pulled out a card from his pocket and tossed it to her. "Here is three million. Go buy a dress, but don't ask me for more money for anything else."

He had to resolve this matter with Lola right now.

He did not know if she really had pictures of them. If she went to his wife with the photos, there would be a huge mess for him due to his wife's temper.

He was negotiating a deal with Cloudstone Corporation anyway. If he signed a contract with them, ten million would be nothing.

He now had to placate that witch. Once he had the photos, he would teach her a lesson.

Walter was about to leave when Diana stopped him and said, "Dad, three million is not enough."

"Diana, I gave you five million before this. Including the three million in the card, you have nearly ten million. Is that still not enough? Do you think I run a bank?"

"Well, you do run a bank. You just spend all your money on the witches outside," Diana hostilely said.

Walter's face turned white upon hearing that, and he quickly said, "Diana, don't talk nonsense. If your mom finds out about it, we'll fight."

Diana blinked and brightly smiled. "As per our old agreement, give me two more million, and I'll keep it a secret."

Walter gritted his teeth in hatred. Everyone in his life was a leech that wanted to suck him dry.

If he had known Diana and her mother were leeches, he would not have allowed them into his family.

Now, he was filled with regret.

Still, he gave Diana another card as he said in annoyance, "Take this. Keep your mouth shut. Otherwise, I won't give you a single cent next time."

"Thank you, Dad!" Diana kissed the cards in her hand and hurriedly started swiping on her phone.

She was not Walter's biological daughter. Instead, she had joined the family because her mom married him.

Her mom gave birth to Diana at the age of 18. Even though it would be considered a second marriage for her mom, she was still charming enough to make Walter marry her.

However, Diana knew that Walter was trouble. She previous caught him fooling around with a sexy lady in Shangri-La Bar.

She had taken quite a lot of photos as evidence.

Walter was willing to give her money because he was afraid she would expose him.

Over the years, Diana relied on Walter's money to thrive among the socialites, which satisfied her vain ego.

She enjoyed being admired, so she kept his secrets.

After all, her mom was trouble as well. She didn't care what the two of them did as long as she had money.

Diana was scrolling through social media when a video popped up on her feed.

Her eyes lit up and she clicked into it. To her surprise, it featured Lola.

Then, she excitedly called her friends as though she had discovered something fun. "Girls, look! Lola, that loser, is trending."

Walter had been about to walk out of the house when he heard Lola's name. Then, he seemed to have his glued to the ground as he was unable to keep walking.

When Diana was done with her call, Walter hurriedly asked, "Diana, what did you say about someone trending just now?"

"It's Lola, Bruce Lawson's daughter. You must have heard of her. She's actually desperate enough to steal from a jewelry store. It's ridiculous."

As Diana explained, she showed him the video. Walter's face instantly turned dark.

This witch…

She told him she wanted a piece of jewelry worth ten million, but she had actually gotten caught stealing.

Walter was infuriated. With how the situation was unfolding, if Lola did not see him in the end, she might actually end up exposing his "secrets" out of sheer desperation.

He broke out in a fit of cold sweat as he rushed out of the door.
