Just then, Caitlyn’s voice sounded. “Leroy, you’d better not give up. Mr. Pearson will be here soon, and I am his woman.

“Here is a big deal, with a deposit of two million dollars. And after the deal is done, Mr. Pearson will give you ten million to leave the country.”

Then came the rough voice of a man. “It’s very generous of you, Mrs. Pearson. But Mr. Pearson wants me to kill Ms. Perez, the daughter of the Perez family. That woman was raised by him. He truly is the devil of the business world, indeed ruthless!”

I was stunned.

Denise covered her mouth in shock.”What? Kaylie, Mr. Pearson wants you dead?!”

I shuddered all over and broke out in a cold sweat.

So, they were discussing how to help Leroy run abroad after he killed me.

Ha, I thought Leland was just cheating on me with another woman, but I didn’t expect him to be so ruthless as to want to kill me. Was money really tha alluring? But I have given him enough respect and enough money!

The recording stopped, and I shivered all over, feeling cold.

No, Kay, I can’t believe it. Mr. Pearson is deeply in love with you,” Denise exclaimed in shock and incoherence.

I just smiled bitterly.

Calmly, I spoke, “I told you, it’s true! Denise, isn’t this funny? Leland and I have always played a loving couple in the business world, and yet he has a secret lover.”

Denise hugged me and comforted me, “No, Kay, don’t be mad, and don’t be upset. Mr. Pearson clearly loves you; why would he do such a thing? There nust be a misunderstanding. There must be!”

I clenched my fists and pushed Denise away.”Do you now know why I cried?”

Denise also cried, and her makeup was all smudged, making her look ugly and terrifying.

I lost faith in love. He has been taking care of you since you were ten years old. Is he really going to kill you? I don’t want to believe in love anymore. I lon’t want to get married in my whole life. What should we do now, Kay? Is what Caitlyn said really true? Are they really going to kill you?”
