Chapter: 1553

Abandoned due to congenital heart disease, Angela faced many challenges. Her striking looks often brought unwelcome attention, and her delicate health made resistance difficult.

She eventually realized that her vulnerability could actually work in her favor, often leading people to take her under their wing for protection, which brought numerous advantages.

After inadvertently becoming involved with a fraud organization, Angela leveraged her intelligence to secure a comfortable life. Her heart condition became not just a vulnerability but a strategic asset to garner sympathy.

Nancy bit her lip. She was aware of the Scott family's affluence, but witnessing the cash stored inside the truck still sent a thrill through her.

During her time with the Scott family, she truly experienced the lifestyle of the wealthy, indulging in the finest services. Yet, it was she who ultimately shattered that peaceful life.

Nancy smiled. “Alright, Sean, I know you're straightforward. Guys, bring the woman up."

Kayla was shoved forward, her eyes hidden behind a black cloth, her mouth shut with tape, and her hands bound. The once graceful and poised woman now found herself in a humiliating position, stumbling as she was forced to the side of Nancy.

“Is Sean here? Sean, please help me!" she screamed silently in her mind, but all that escaped her lips were muffled cries, leaving her looking utterly helpless.

Matteo, blending into the crowd behind Sean, clenched his fists tightly as he glared at Nancy with a deadly intensity.

"Kayla, come on, greet your son," Nancy instructed.

With a swift motion, she pulled away the black cloth covering Kayla's eyes. As Kayla's vision cleared, tears streamed down her face, and the redness around her eyes tugged at the hearts of everyone watching.

As Kayla spotted Sean standing outside the wall, her heart ached with longing and despair.

If only she had listened to his warnings, she wouldn't be in this situation.

But in this world, there are no ifs; everyone must face the consequences of their choices.

Norah grasped Sean's clenched fist. "Don't stress too much. Just stick to the plan. Your mom is safe at the moment."

Sean nodded. "Alright."

"Kayla, aren't you touched? Your son brought a hundred million dollars in cash to save you. He's so good to you! Why does he have to be with Norah?" Nancy said with regret, wishing she were the one he cherished. His parents had always favored her.

If she had married Sean, it would have been the perfect match, but fate had different plans.

Kayla cried quietly. She had felt her family's love but chose to overlook it. Regardless of the decisions she made, she knew her family would always be there for her.

It was her recklessness that led to her current predicament.

Sean turned to Nancy. "I've brought the money. Now, let my mom go as promised."

Nancy pushed aside her useless feelings; money was her priority.

“I'll send four people to drive the truck away. You can't attack them. Once my people drive off with the truck, I'll release you mother," she said to Sean, dismissing Norah as merely a pretty face and not a threat.

Sean nodded. "Okay."
