A Touch of Sweetness novel (Finnick and Vivian) novel Chapter 1596

Carl's voice had so much hatred in it that even Yuri, who was standing at the side, could sense it. A chill ran down Yuri's spine.

“Y-you want me to kill them?”

Yuri started hesitating. Killing either Joan or the baby would mean making a lifelong enemy out of Larry, and Yuri wondered if it was worth it.

“Do not let them off the hook even if you can't kill them. I want you to torture them,” spat Carl through gritted teeth.

After saying his piece, he got a package out from under the table and handed it to Yuri before promising, “Here's two million, Yuri. Take it as your compensation for carrying out the mission. Once everything is done, I will give you another three million. Don't feel bad accepting the

money. It is but a small thank-you gift from me.”

Carl didn't give Yuri all the money because he wanted to keep some for himself. If anything went awry, Carl would use it for his escape plan.

The sack of money in front of Yuri drowned out that last bit of hesitation he felt. For a middle-ranked mafia leader like Yuri, two million was a huge deal.

At first, Yuri only felt compelled to carry out the task because he wanted to clear his debt. He became a lot more inspired with the cash in front of him.

“I see that you are truly a good friend, so don't worry, Carl. I will definitely complete the task and make Larry pay for what he's done!” said Yuri confidently.

Carl nodded in satisfaction. As suspected, Yuri is a greedy, money-minded fool who changes his stance as long as money is involved. That's good. This is exactly what I need.You've accepted my money. Now, do my bidding!

Carl grinned slightly. A calculating glow that screamed double-cross was on his face, but Yuri was too engrossed in the money to notice anything.

The scheme was slowly and secretly unfolding...

Larry had been taking care of Joan every day from morning to night after she gave birth to the baby.

Hence, she had recovered quite a bit and could go home after a few more days.

“Leslie, come let daddy hold you.”
