Chapter 793: Daniela eyed him, amusement in her gaze. "Really?" Again, Linden nodded eagerly. "Absolutely! I am at your command. Whatever you need, I'll do it. It's them- they're the threat, not me. They wanted to kill you! Ms. Harper, letassist you with your investigation. Just, please, spare my life." Again, Daniela's chuckle was soft yet chilling.

"Did Daniela tie up Linden? Who would've guessed she had a wild side?" Elyse sneered, a mocking smile curling on her lips.

Natalie strained to see more clearly, but the figures in the mirror flickered and faded, disappearing without a trace.

"Stop obsessing over that. The camera angle is limited. They're probably tucked away in a corner somewhere." Elyse's laugh was sharp, edged with something brittle.
With a careless flick of her hand, she ordered an expensive bottle of wine she couldn't afford.
"Con, Natalie. This might take a while. Why deny ourselves a littlen luxury? This bottle costs over eight hundred grand. I've been dying to try it."
Elyse signaled the waiter to uncork the bottle, but Natalie reached out, stopping him. She advised, "Mom, maybe rush to celebrate just yet.Nf something goes wrong, we won't even be able to pay for this wine. We barely have eighty thousand left, let alone eight hundred thousand. Russell's been breathing down our necks, demanding the rest of his payment."
