Chapter 13 Asking for 400 Million Dollars
Angie ordered, “Move.”
Then, she heard a cold and deep voice behind her…
Madeline didn’t plan to let Angie go that easily. She knocked on the table lightly and said, “Ms. Angie, you promised to compensate me for my laptop. Are you going to break your promise?”
Angie turned around and stared at Madeline, “Isn’t it just a stupid laptop? You already got 100 million dollars. Why do you care about that little bit of money?”
Madeline hinted at Albert to give Angie the quote.
“Ms. Angie, let me remind you. It’s ten laptops, not one.”
Angie looked at the quote and threw it on the floor before stomping on it.
“Don’t push your luck! How can a few stupid laptops be worth 300 million dollars?”
Albert reminded her casually, “Ms. Angie, our chairman’s laptop is custom-made. It also has the most advanced specifications. More importantly, it contains all the data gathered by previous chairmen and information about this year’s Global Charity Banquet award winners. Do you think 300 million dollars for ten of these laptops are expensive?”
“That’s going too far!”
Angie realized this woman was trying to milk all her money. She also wondered why she had no idea that Mr. Gordon knew this woman.
Madeline wasn’t really forcing her to pay the money, “Ms. Angie, if you think the price is too high, just forget it! I’ll repair the laptop myself. However, I can’t guarantee that I can restore the candidate’s name list inside the computer. The data might be changed.”
Angie was furious after hearing that.
“You are threatening me!”

“Yes! Investigate everyone that will threaten Colt’s safety!”
“Yes!”
“Sir, there’s one more thing.” Wayne hesitated before proceeding with his report.
“Yes?”
“There was an extra layer of encryption on the cemetery’s security camera footage. Seems like someone is hacking the program remotely. We suspect it was the person who corrupted the footage previously. When we were tracking the person, we found out that the corrupted footage had been copied.”
“Who did it?”
“The IP address was removed but we had a lead. The location was at the hospital…”
“That mysterious woman?”
“We cannot be sure as of now, but she is definitely the most suspicious person.”
It wasn’t something important, but Wayne still reported it because he thought Noah was concerned about that woman.
“Where is that woman now?”
“An hour ago, she was at the Global Philanthropy Committee’s office. However, our men lost her ten minutes ago…”
Wayne looked at his tablet computer and saw Madeline’s tracker going offline. He gulped and looked at Noah nervously. He was already using the most advanced technology available in the Quincy residence, yet he still lost her. That woman was really a sly one.
There was an eerie silence in the room. Cold sweat started to drip from Wayne’s head.
Before Wayne wanted to kneel and beg for forgiveness, Noah spoke.
“Find that woman in ten minutes. Otherwise, you can go and dig a grave for yourself.”
