As she thought about this, Carmen stuffed the one billion dollars cheque back into her wallet.
She felt as though she would have been taken advantage of if she spent one billion dollars just to bribe a cheap woman like Elaine. She felt that one hundred million dollars would already be more than enough.
Therefore, she took out her checkbook and wrote a cheque for one hundred million dollars instead.
She planned to use the cheque for one hundred million dollars to entice Elaine directly so that Elaine would force her daughter to divorce Charlie as soon as she got home. This way, she would have already accomplished half of the mission that she had to get done in Aurous Hill this time.
After writing the cheque for one hundred million dollars, Carmen took out a Hermes silk scarf from her bag and placed it on the sofa before sitting down.
At this time, Elaine was still happily soaking in the bathtub.
In truth, Elaine was already done washing up a long time ago. The reason why she refused to come out so soon was simply because she felt that the milk bath with flower petals should have a very good moisturizing effect on her skin. Thus, she felt that it
would be better for her to continue soaking in the bathtub for a little longer. 1
At this moment, Harold and Christopher had already brought a few rowdy young men along with them as they drove a large van to the backdoor of the beauty salon. 6
Harold took out his cell phone to call the boss and asked, "Ben, how are the preparations? Is Elaine unconscious yet? I am already waiting at the backdoor!" 3
The boss thought to himself, 'I have not even made my extra fifty thousand dollars yet. No matter what it is, I will have to wait until I receive my fifty thousand dollars before I take any action against Elaine!'
So, he told Harold, "Harold, please wait a moment. Elaine is still taking a bath now, so there is a slight delay. However, you don't have to worry. I have already prepared the water that has already been spiked. After Elaine is done with her bath, I will look for an opportunity for her to drink it. You can wait patiently for me to update and notify you about the situation. I will call you as soon as she is unconscious. After that, you can come in and take her away!" 5
