Under the Heiress' Facade novel Chapter 115

Queenie's secretary said, "1.05 billion might sound like the price tag for a few items. Over a dozen treasures were auctioned off tonight.

"Based on the price algorithm, the total price of the items successfully auctioned added up to 1.05 billion. There were five groups who won the bids, but the bidder's information couldn't be traced. So, we can't rule out the possibility further."

The algorithm seemed too complex for Queenie to attribute it to a bidder.

If it wasn't a bidder, then the most likely scenario remaining was that the receiving account belonged to Astral Nova, and Raven was associated with them.

At that moment, a message popped up on her WhatsApp. She immediately opened it.

Raven replied, "Payment received. Mission accomplished."

Following the message was an image file.

Queenie clicked on the attached image. It was a screenshot showing Raven's response to a task on Cyber Web.

"Mission accomplished."

Her frustration bubbled up. She couldn't believe that all that effort and anticipation was all for them to receive a two-worded response simply. She wondered if it had really cost her 1.05 billion for such brevity.

She asked, "Is this it? Have you completed all the requests I sent you? You're asking for 1.05 billion from me. Do you think I wouldn't report you for fraud?"

Queenie rattled off a bunch of words in her text. As expected, there was no response from the other end.

The silence was so cold it made one suspect they were dealing with an automated customer service bot.

At the sight of Queenie's dark expression, the secretary asked weakly, "Mrs. Gaskell, do you think we might have stumbled upon a fraud syndicate?"

Even the secretary felt like she was dealing with a scammer.

Queenie became even more suspicious and wondered if she had really been cheated. But even if she reported it to the police, their chat records wouldn't be enough to prove that the other party was a fraudster.

Instead, it would show her actively trying to get the other party to complete assignments and send money. Queenie's reputation as a savvy person would be ruined if this got out. So, her intention of reporting it was merely to scare the other party.

At that moment, the secretary's phone rang again. She picked up the call, and whatever was said on the other end of the line made her face light up with joy.
