Catherine's face was pale. How was she still alive? But she couldn't hang up the phone, or she would be doomed.
So, Catherine tried to calm down, "What do you want?” "Good question," the woman laughed, "I'm surprised you are still as straightforward as you were when you were a kid." "What do you want?" Catherine felt stressed at the mention of her childhood, "Just say it. | will give you anything you want." She had anticipated that the woman cfor money.
"Five million," the woman replied in a calm and firm tone.
"I don't have that much money." Catherine decided she should at least bargain, "One million is all | have. Do you want it?" If she said yes, Catherine could transfer the money to her right away?

The woman agreed.
She didn't expect Catherine would be so straightforward.
"Okay. | will give you 48 hours," the woman said, "But if | didn't see the money in 48 hours, | will see you at the police department.” Catherine hung up the phone and felt extremely depressed.

"But that's her own affair, you don't have to shoulder it for her." "But | know her. She might call the police after she calms down." Leslie was clear-minded. "She's been distancing herself from me. Last night, Ivan didn't help her at all. I'm sure she's disappointed now." Josh stood there and didn't know what to say.
"But she and | could make a trade." Leslie had had a plan. "Since we have found Nora, we need to make good use of her." "I see." "Go do what you should do." "Yes, sir." Josh left. Leslie sat in his chair and kept glancing at his phone, waiting for Catherine to call.
