Chapter 359: Chapter 358
Alexander Hodges struggled to hold back his laughter, “I don’t know, I’ll call my big brother in a bit to ask and see what the situation is.”
“Hmm.”
The two of them exchanged words, completely ignoring Isla’s situation.
Isla stamred, unable to speak.
Ivy River questioned coldly, “Have you thought it over? Do you want to speak? If you do, just tell , and I’ll remove the Silver Needle for you.”
Isla couldn’t help but look over at Edwin Blake.
Noah Wilson remarked sarcastically, “No need to look anymore, your partner doesn’t have ti for you right now, did you not notice, he was just changing the subject over there.”
“I’ll give you three seconds to think about this. Blink once to answer honestly, or if you don’t want to, prepare to go head-to-head with by blinking twice.”
Ivy had no patience for her nonsense.
Noah stood on the side, speaking without concern, adding, “You’d better think carefully, Ivy River’s thods are harsher than mine. Make sure you know what you’re doing.”
“For so many years, the only person I didn’t dare to offend was an angry Ivy River. But, you can refuse. After all, I haven’t seen her get angry in years, I’m curious to see it.”
Ivy shot a cold glance over, silencing Noah imdiately.
He obediently moved next to Alexander and Edwin. “What are you guys talking about? Mind if I join? I’m a bit anxious now, afraid Ivy River might eat up.”
“Very much so. When you hit my brother earlier, didn’t you consider our opinions, Noah? You should go back to my sister-in-law now!”
Alexander grumbled indignantly.
Noah squinted his eyes slightly, “You, are you sure? Say it to again, do you believe I’ll skin you right here and now?”
Alexander tried to retort, “Just because you tell to speak, I have to? Don’t I have any dignity? How can you say that to , Noah? Now you’re the one wanting to join our conversation, not the other way around.”
“And then what?”
Noah began to flex his fists, causing Alexander to feel a pang of fear.
Just as he was about to make his move,
with a “boom,” everyone’s attention was instantly captured.
They saw Isla being thrown to the ground by Ivy, crying out in pain.
“I told you to blink, not to not blink. What’s the matter? Can’t you understand ? There’s sothing seriously wrong with you.”
Ivy lost it completely, squeezing Isla’s mouth forcefully.
The Silver Needles in Isla’s neck and mouth had already been removed, and she cried out loudly.
“I’m sorry, Ivy, I’m sorry, sorry. I’ll tell, I’ll say everything.”
Hearing this, Ivy was finally satisfied and moved away. She sat down with a commanding presence and looked down at her:
“So, tell how you plotted to kidnap , wanted to kill , and step over my dead body to climb up. Share all these sches.”
She spoke plainly, leaving Isla montarily stunned.
The next second, a Silver Needle appeared in Isla’s knee as she knelt on the ground, along with a few in her fingertips.
“Ah—”
Brother Tim watched on with deep concern, “Ivy River, could you at least figure things out before you act? This isn’t fair, don’t you know? Fingers are connected to the heart!”
“Fair? Are you talking to about fairness? Why didn’t you talk about fairness when you planned to kidnap ? Or when you and Isla were conspiring, why didn’t you talk about fairness then?”
Ivy’s series of questions left him completely baffled.
Brother Tim muttered, “Actually, that’s not really what it’s about. We don’t have much to do with each other, we just wanted the money. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have co to kidnap you. Initially, I thought Isla would be worth more, but later I found out you’re worth much more.”
Before he could finish, Ivy cut in.
“Yes, I am worth more. That’s why you gathered everyone in Riverland City, and why there were fewer people with Isla in Seaton, right?”
“Right, right, you’re not wrong at all, that’s the reason. How did you know?” Brother Tim reflexively asked.
“Because it’s your usual tactic.”
As soon as she finished, Ivy gave Brother Tim a harsh slap across the face.
Brother Tim took a mont to react after being hit.
This ti, Ivy didn’t waste words; she directly pulled out a printout.
On it was a record of Isla’s previous calls with Brother Tim.
The phone number was a temporary purchase, but now everything is under real-na registration.
So, it’s easy to find out she’s the one who got it.
“This docunt isn’t unfamiliar to you two, is it? You spoke on this phone with this scumbag not long ago. How do you explain it?”
Faced with the existential questions, both Isla and Brother Tim felt a chill in their hearts.
They subconsciously exchanged glances.
Brother Tim was the first to react, averting his gaze, “What’s there to explain? It’s just a phone call, right? I can’t catch up with Isla on the phone? You can’t be so overbearing, Ivy.”
Uninterested in his nonsense, Ivy pulled off a sleeve from her shirt, “This shirt costs twenty grand. Stuffing it in your mouth will require compensation for the damage, totaling fifty grand, rember to pay .”
After speaking, she kicked Brother Tim and then turned to Isla.
Seeing Ivy like this, Isla hurriedly said, “I’ll tell you now, just don’t hit again, I can’t take it.”
She noticed Edwin’s indifferent attitude and began calculating her own way out.
Brother Tim certainly wouldn’t sell her out.
When the ti ca, she’d just make sothing up and slip through.
“Hmm.”
Watching the Silver Needles in Isla’s fingers, Ivy not only didn’t remove them but also crouched down to toy with them with a twisted sense of pleasure.
She wasn’t a saint.
How could she easily let go of soone who wanted her dead?
“Ow—can you be gentler? It hurts—”
Unable to bear it, Isla cried out, stamring, “It all started when I contacted Brother Tim. We knew each other from abroad, and he had so interest in , but I never expected—!”
“He didn’t get to sleep with back then, and now he still wants to—ouch—”
Isla couldn’t hold back a gasp. It really hurt, it truly did.
Seeing Ivy’s impatience, Isla hurriedly continued, “He didn’t get what he wanted back then, so now he wants it. Yes, we contacted each other earlier, but he was threatening in the calls.”
“Because he couldn’t stand how good Edwin was to , felt I liked Edwin too much, ignoring her feelings. But why should I! At most, he and I have a mutual rape attempt relationship, why should I be nice to him, right?”
