A sour expression was painted on Mandy's face. However, she kept her lips shut.

Jean's words were reasonable. Although Mandy disliked Julia, she had to admit that Julia was more filial and responsible than her real daughter.

Unfortunately, Mandy refused to adore someone who did not come from her womb.

Jean stared at her mother and was about to say something when her phone beeped. As Jean checked her phone screen, she was notified that she received a video message from an unknown sender.

Jean was bewildered at the nature of the message. Curious, she touched the screen and played the video. As she watched the clip, her eyes glowed with surprise, alarm, and dread. When the video ended, her face darkened. Beads of sweat formed on her forehead, and she felt her strength drain out of her body.

"Jean, what's wrong? Why are you so pale?" Mandy asked worriedly after she noticed Jean's expressi

asked coldly. She hated being threatened the most. What happened to Abby before had already made her very annoyed and frustrated. She did not expect that there would be another one trying to threaten her.

"Against the law?" Hearing what Jean said, the man laughed. "Miss Xiao, are you kidding me? Let's see who the police will arrest first if they find the video on their desk one of these days.

Oh, wait. I'm sorry. There's even no need for the police. If the big man himself, Barton Xiao, sees this video, I believe you will be doomed."

Jean's face darkened. She gritted her teeth and asked, "Tell me, how much money do you want?"

"Fifty million dollars! It's such a small amount for Baron's daughter. The man demanded an exorbitant price for his silence.

When she heard the number, Jean went pale. "Fifty million? Where can I get that absurd amount? You're making things difficult for me!"
