?Chapter 962:


    Had Briley known that Hailey was this ipetent, she would have never agreed to join forces with the woman. At first, Hailey only seemed to be a worthless bystander who barely did anything, but now Hailey was actually trying to stop her from acting on her own. What a joke!


    It didn’t matter, though. Briley was not to be deterred. She would ensure that Sadie disappeared for good this time around.


    Briley’s eyes shed with cruel intent as she scrolled through her contacts and called a number she hadn’t reached out to in a long time.


    “I want Sadie Hudson gone. Feel free to name your price.”


    Her order was met with deep, coldughter. “That’s a rather ambitious request you have, Miss Wall. But money alone will not suffice when you expect me to end a life. More importantly, how do I know this won’t turn out like thest time I did…”


    “Something for you? Do you remember how you betrayed me at thest moment?”


    Briley shifted in difort.


    She had indeed betrayed this man back at the banquet that celebrated the partnership between the Wall and Burgess families, all for the sake of impressing Sadie and other guests. She hadn’t expected him to bear a grudge over the incident.


    Briley stifled her own irritation and said, “It won’t happen again. You can ask for anypensation you want. As long as you get the job done, I’m open to negotiations.”


    There was a hum of satisfaction from the other end, followed by a light chuckle.


    “Compensation, you say? What I want is rather simple. I hear you’ve been doing pretty well in the entertainment industrytely. Why don’t you spend some nights with me?”


    Briley’s stomach churned at the thought, and it was all she could do not to gag on the spot. This man was utterly disgusting!


    ???ЯE ??P?ΛTΞ? IИ GΛ?И?VΞ??.???


    And yet, she had no choice but to put up with him if she wanted to eliminate Sadie for good.


    “Deal. As long as you deliver results, we’ll settle everything elseter. Just make sure it’s clean—no mess, no loose ends. I’ll double the payment,” Briley said coolly.


    A low chuckle echoed from the other end of the call. “Understood, Miss Wall. Sit tight and wait for the good news.”


    Ending the call, Briley leaned back against the sofa. She could feel a trace of dampness clinging to her back, but a sense of relief still crept in. The thought of Sadie finally running into real trouble brought a faint smirk to her lips.


    Before she could fully pull herself together, a knock sounded at the door.


    Leonard pushed it open a momentter. “Briley, everything’s been arranged. Should we head back to Jazmah today?”


    Briley hesitated for a moment. Leaving now might actually be the smarter choice. With her mind a tangled mess and danger lurking nearby, staying would only invite more problems.


    Pulling herself together, Briley gave a short nod. “Yeah. Let’s move.”
