Chapter 525 Assassination
Finished
For someone like Daphne<b>, </b>who came from a wealthy family, married into the Bells, and is now a well–off woman in her forties<b>, </bing up with the money was difficult–but not impossible.
The killers from Skin were very firm. They demanded the full 150 million, not a penny less, all paid upfront.
Only if she agreed to these harsh terms would they move to kill Tilda.
Daphne worried they might take the money and back out, but Skin was ranked fifth among global assassin groups.
They should care about their reputation.
If their reputation was ruined, who would hire them anymore? They would be finished. <fn6a2d> Th? link to the orig?n of this information r?sts ?n find?novel</fn6a2d>
Daphne knew that plenty of people had paid Skin to carry out hits, and each job had been handled wlessly, without a trace.
As long as you paid, Skin would agree to do it. Once the money was handed over, everything else was taken care of; Daphne did not need to worry.
So within just a few days, Daphne scraped together 150 million–part from her own hidden savings, part borrowed from rtives on her side of the family.
After transferring the money to Skin’s handler, she had only one demand: kill Tilda as fast as possible.
But not just that, before Tilda died, she had to suffer.
Daphne wanted her broken, tortured, and left in pieces before being sent to hell.
If Daphne could see her in person, even better.
If not, a video of the torture would do.
Only by then would she be satisfied.
In her eyes, Tilda had ruined her precious kids and forced her through humiliation and
expense.
Simply killing Tilda would be too easy.
She wanted her to live a life worse than death.

Finished
Skin’s people promised to capture Tilda soon, keep it quiet<b>, </b>and even arrange a meeting so Daphne could personally torture her.
That thought filled Daphne with joy.
Otherwise, she would not even have had the mood to go to the Bells‘ dinner party, or drag her friend ir along for beauty treatments.
Of course, Daphne wasn’t stupid enough to spill her secret to ir just because they were close.
Even best friends had things they hid, and this murder plot was something she had to keep to herself.
When the news of Tilda’s death came out, Daphne would just pretend she knew nothing.
Watching Daphne, ir could not help but feel uneasy.
After all these years of friendship, she understood Daphne’s personality–always vengeful, never letting anything go.
And since this involved Reba and Preston, Daphne would never stop until she got revenge.
ir could see it in her eyes: Daphne was already nning her next move.
However, Tilda was ir’s biological daughter, and more than that, her lifesaver along with Dominic.
ir could not just sit by and watch Daphne go after her.
The problem was that Daphne’s hatred was too deep, unlike anything ir had ever seen.
How could she possibly talk her out of it?
She and Tilda’s rtionship was already a mess.
“Daphne, I think we really need to talk about Tilda…” ir tried.
“Enough, ir. We finally got a chance to hang out today, don’t bring up that damned brat.
“Come on, I already booked us at Sounds of Nature. They even sent me a reminder. Let’s go.”
With that, Daphne pulled ir and K toward the mall.
ir opened her mouth but did not say anything in the end.

Chapter 525 Assassination
Now was not the right time to persuade Daphne.
She would have to wait for another chance.
K, however, noticed her mom’s hesitation and felt her anger boil.
<i>Damn </i><i>that </i><i>Tilda</i><i>, </i><i>even </i><i>Mom’s </i><i>heart </i><b><i>was </i></b><i>starting </i><i>to </i><i>lean </i><i>toward </i><i>her</i><i>! </i>
If ir turned to Tilda’s side, then K would bepletely on her own in the family.
She had to ruin Tilda’s image in ir’s heart before it was toote.
Finished
K knew Daphne was already working against Tilda in secret, but from past experience, she doubted it would end the way she wanted.
Better to take things into her own hands. Daphne could handle the assassination. K’s role was to destroy Tilda’s reputation in the Jensons and win back her own ce.
So, when they reached the beauty salon and Daphne set down her bag to head to the restroom, ir sat there looking worried, still thinking about how to convince Daphne to stop targeting Tilda.
That was when K walked over, putting on a hesitant look.
