    ine stared at Cynthia in disbelief, eximing, “What are you talking about? This check is worth 100 million?!”


    Cynthia, noticing ine’s astonishment, smirked and replied sarcastically, “Look at you, as if you’ve never seen the world! This is a Citibank cash check! Haven’t you ever encountered one? Someone like you will probably never have the chance to see such a hefty check!”


    ine’s expression shifted to one of uncertainty.


    Seeing ine’s reaction, Cynthia felt a wave of satisfaction wash over her.<fnf5d6> ?????? ???? F?ndNovel</fnf5d6><h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Holding the check aloft, she pped it a few times and grinned arrogantly, “Do you want this check? If you do, you need to persuade your daughter to leave Charlie!”


    ine’s demeanor suddenly turned annoyed. Cynthia was taken aback by how quickly her expression changed. In a swift motion, ine reached out, snatched the check, examined it closely, and then, in a fit of anger, tore it into shreds!


    Cynthia was left speechless, watching as ine shredded the one hundred million dor check. She thought to herself, “I must have underestimated this woman named ine! She tore up the check without a second thought. It seems her appetite is quiterge!”


    At that moment, as Cynthia faced ine’s furious re, she clenched her teeth and dered, “Fine! If 100 million is too little for you, how about 200 million? Just listen to me and get your daughter to finalize the divorce with Charlie, and I’ll write you a check right now!”


    With that, Cynthia pulled out her checkbook from her Hermès bag, removed the pen cap, and said coldly, “Think it over. If you agree, I’ll write you the check immediately!”


    As Cynthia spoke, she thought, “ine is just a small-town woman. Sure, she lives in a vi at Thompson First, but she must be a nobody who hasn’t seen real wealth. With a billion in front of her, I doubt she would turn it down!”


    Just then, Cynthia was taken by surprise as a sharp pain struck her left cheek!


    “Smack!”


    ine had raised her hand and delivered a hard p to Cynthia!


    Cynthia, who had never experienced such humiliation in her life, was stunned. Never in her wildest dreams did she expect to be pped by someone she considered beneath her!


    Fury surged through her as she red at ine and shouted, “ine! Are you out of your mind? How dare you hit me?! Do you even know who I am?”


    Before Cynthia could catch her breath, ine charged forward, delivering a kick straight to her chest, sending her tumbling back onto the sofa!


    Though Cynthia was no saint, she was an educated woman. Despite her arrogance and tendency to bully others, she had never found herself on the receiving end of such treatment.


    As ine continued her assault, Cynthia struggled to rise, hair disheveled, and yelled, “ine! Are youpletely insane?! My mother is offering you money! If you refuse it, there’s no need for violence! Don’t you understand that a gentleman negotiates without resorting to fists?!”


    With gritted teeth, ine snapped back, “What kind of gentleman just talks without taking action? If you dare to deceive my Lady with paper money, why shouldn’t I be allowed to teach you a lesson? I won’t just stop at beating you today; I want to make you pay!”


    Cynthia could hardly believe her ears.


    She screamed, “What are you doing?! The Lady is offering you a cash check from Citibank! Can’t youprehend? It’s from Citibank! Even if you’ve never been exposed to the world, you should have some basic understanding!”
