"What do you mean? We had a deal, I gave you five hundred thousand dors to leave the country and nevere back."


    Urs hissed through hushed tone, her voiceced with barely contained fury.


    "I''m already back."


    "What did you just say? You''re back?"


    As Urs heard that, her voice, which she had been struggling to keep low, suddenly shot up uncontrobly.


    Back and contacting her? Even a fool would know what this meant.


    Urs''s already pale face lost all color, taking on a ghostly pallor.


    "What are you trying to pull?"


    "My mother just passed away, and my daughter''s fallen seriously ill. Life overseas was too expensive; we couldn''t make ends meet." "Couldn''t make ends meet" - that was the reason for their return. And now his daughter was seriously ill, which spelled it out clearly.


    In other words, they needed money!


    Urs felt dizzy with anger, "I gave you everything you were owed back then, our deal was clear."


    "It was a deal, but Ms. Larkin, I''m out of options. Should I ask Ms. Quinn for the money, or should I ask you?"


    Asking Ste would undoubtedly mean handing over evidence of that car ident to Ste. By then, Urs''s true colors would be exposed to the Larkins and to Yorick. "Are you threatening me?" Urs gritted her teeth in fury.


    Not only was he threatening her, but he had also returned fully prepared, knowing full well that what she cared about was the Larkin family, and her nemesis was Ste. "I''ve hit rock bottom, or I wouldn''t stoop to being such a dishonorable person."


    "But it was you who set the price at five hundred thousand back in the day. I didn''t even try to haggle."


    The mention of being dishonorable infuriated Urs even more. However, the man remained adamant, "I have no other choice, I''m really at the end of my rope." Urs closed her eyes.


    No other choice, who did have a choice?


    She had also spent a lot living abroad these past few years, and the savings from her time with the Larkin family were nearly gone.


    Now, the Larkins were covering her medical expenses, and since she was staying in the hospital, she wasn''t spending much, so the family hadn''t given her any extra money.

    "You have no other choice, but you can''te to me. What do you mean by this?"


    The man remained silent.


    "I don''t owe you anything!" Urs snapped. She was almost certain now that she was being extorted.


    As the man was faced with Urs''s hysterics, his tone remained calm and firm, "I need one hundred thousand dors."


    Urs eximed, "Where do you expect me to find that kind of money?"


    Madness, utter madness!


    At that moment, Urs wished she could tear the person to pieces.


    "Ms. Larkin, I know your standing within the Larkin family. These past years, you''ve held a higher position


    than even their own daughter


    Urs was speechless.


    At those words, her eyes darkened further, and her knuckles turned white from gripping the phone too tightly.


    "You''re ckmailing me?"


    "I genuinely need the money, Ms. Larkin. Let''s not make this sound so unsavory."


    Urs closed her eyes, a dark aura enveloping her.


    ...


    Outside, Yorick and Cloudia had arrived at the door.


    Cloudia suddenly remembered something, "Oh, Urs mentioned she wanted some soup from Crab Elite Rick, you go in first. I''ll have someone fetch it for her."


    Turning back and opening the door slightly, he heard Urs shout into the phone, "Fine, but you''ll end up in jail too!"


    "Alright," Yorick nodded.
