Allie knew that Janet wouldn't believe her, so she had come prepared. She lifted the computer bag she had brought with her and placed it on the table. "Everything you need is in this laptop. I'll give it to you in exchange for the money I need." Janet's eyes landed on the laptop. She had a gut feeling that she'd find something in there.
"Alright. How much do you want?" She gestured to the computer bag on the table. Naturally, she wanted to see it first.
"Give me the money first." Allie held the bag protectively. "Give me the money now, or no deal. I want two million. Cash."
Janet had had some doubts about Allie, but seeing the anxious look on her face made her believe her.
But two million was no trifle amount.
She had been living off of her humble salary. She had never touched the Whites' nor Brandon's money.
"Well... Could I pay you in installments?" Janet asked shamefacedly.
Allie was so shocked at Janet's words. She couldn't believe that the wife of the Larson Group's CEO and the daughter of the White family would ask such a ridiculous question.
"You don't have two million on-hand? Stop kidding me!" Allie didn't believe it at all. She clutched the laptop even tighter.
"I don't use my parents' money," Janet explained. "Nor do I use my husband's money. I only spend the money I earn on my own."
Since she was capable of making a living on her own, she refused to rely on her family and her husband.
Allie snorted in disbelief and rolled her eyes at her mockingly. "You're the daughter of a wealthy family and the wife of a CEO, yet you're still so poor. It seems your family isn't treating you so well."
