Love Mission: Ex-wife Strikes Back

"I know you don't have that much money. However, Barton is extremely well off." The man let out a sly laugh. "He has a huge bank account. Forget fifty million, even five hundred million is mere change for that guy! So, Miss Xiao, don't bargain with me. I know that he has the money."

"You little..." A furious expression spread across Jean's face. "Well, since you have the evidence against me, I'm willing to admit the truth to you. If I were Barton's biological daughter, I would give you fifty million or even five hundred million dollars. However, you know that I'm a fraud. If I ask him for that much money, he'll know that something is wrong and he'll kick me out. By then, your stupid video will be useless!"

replied, "Of course I'm free. See you tomorrow, Dad."

"That's good." Barton smiled satisfyingly behind the phone. "Then I'll wait for you tomorrow."

"Okay!" As soon as Jean hung up the phone, she saw Mandy's face an inch away from her own. She was so shocked that she blurted out, "Mom, are you trying to scare me to death? Why are you so close to me?"

"Jean, why is he calling?" Barton's call really scared the hell out of Mandy. When she heard his voice over the line, she was freaked out, afraid that he knew Jean had deceived him.

"Why are you so nervous?" Jean asked with an annoyed expression. "That stranger wants money. He won't expose me so soon, you can rest assured."

"But..." Jean hesitated for a moment and frowned slightly.

"What?" Mandy asked nervously.

"But Barton asked me out for lunch tomorrow. I'm not sure if I can make it back on time. Mom, would you like to have dinner with him?" Jean looked at Mandy squarely.
