Bruce bought himself a clean set of clothes with 3000 dollars, visited a sauna to clean himself up, then rented a room for the night.
The next morning.
He looked at the remaining 100 dollars in his pocket and started to draw out a plan. Once he decided on one, he put on his clothes and left.
He took the piece of paper that fell out of Chloe's bag yesterday, it contained the address to a villa.
It must've been left behind when she posted a parcel a t the post office.
He followed the address and found the villa.
He was stunned by the big and luxurious mansion.
"These rich buffoons sure know how to enjoy life, huh. That bitch Nicole is quite the trickster after all, managing to land a rich man like him."
Bruce pouted at the Dawson family mansion.
"She has such rich in-laws, and yet she doesn't honor her biological father. Hasn't anyone ever taught her the value of filial piety?”
Bruce wanted to rush into the villa, but the security guard stopped him.
"Who are you! This villa isn't a place someone the
likes of you can enter!"
Bruce looked down and studied himself, laughing merrily.
The guard was right, it was inappropriate of him to enter the villa like that.
The Dawson family was much better off and influential than the Hamiltons. He shouldn’t try to enter without permission.
He took out his phone, took a selfie with the Dawson family villa, and sent it to Nicole.
Nicole had a hard time sleeping at night. Images of Bruce hitting and cursing at her filled her dreams. After sending Daniel off to work with heavy bags under her eyes, she sat in her room, yawning repeatedly.
She almost fainted from shock when she saw the photo Bruce sent to her.
She hurriedly summoned Chloe into her room.
Chloe was terrified too, "What does this mean? Is he threatening us? Did he visit the Dawsons?"
"How did he find the Dawson family villa? Is he trying to kill both of us!"
"Mom, quick, ask him. How much more does he want before he’s willing to let us go!" Chloe shook her mother repeatedly.
"What else does he want? All he cares about is money!” Nicole rushed to her dressing table.
She opened her jewelry box, took out her jewelry, and caressed them lovingly. At the thought that she would have to give them up soon, her heart ached with regret.
"Are these enough? Why do I feel like he wants more than this!"
"Why did he come so fast? What should we do?" Nicole cried helplessly.
Chloe paced around in the room endlessly.
"I won't get much money from Daddy, and the Dawsons won't give me much money either! My child i s still in my belly so Grandma Dawson is always having her guard raised around me. She always says she won't mistreat me, but yet she never gave me anything valuable."
Chloe's gaze dropped on her own wrist.
The bright green jade bracelet. It was a family heirloom passed down from generation to generation i n the Dawson family, it was worth millions!
Nicole noticed her daughter's gaze and trembled, face turning pale.
"Chloe, don’t even think of selling the bracelet!"
"Then what else can we do? We don't have anything valuable to sell!" Chloe was starting to panic.
"He’s already found the Dawson family villa, I can't let the Dawsons find out my biological father is an ex-
