After Divorcing my Captain Husband (Chloe and Michael)

Chapter 493 You're Not Lying?

"Do you know how much 50 million dollars in cash weighs? Even if I bring it, you wouldn't be able to take it away."

Michael's calm voice resonated. The person on the other end seemed stunned, clearly not expecting such a response.

After a moment of silence, rustling noises were heard before the person replied, "Don't worry about whether I can take it or not. Just bring the money. If you're late, the deal is off!" After delivering this ultimatum, the call was abruptly ended.

Michael tried calling back, but the line was busy.

Ethan, his assistant, sitting in the passenger seat, asked, "Mr. Shawn, should we call the police? This is a serious criminal act."

Michael held the steering wheel and said, "Go get the money."

Fifty million dollars wasn't something he couldn't afford.

Ethan was surprised. "He had just said it couldn't be carried away, and now he wanted to get the money?"

"Mr. Shawn, it probably won't fit in the car."

"Convert the rest to gold bars."

They were driving it over, not carrying it by hand.

At the nearest bank, Ethan followed the instructions.

The bank hadn't expected such a large transaction without prior notice.

But since the Shawn family urgently needed the money, they complied as quickly as possible.

All the money that couldn't fit was exchanged for gold bars.

The car, which had been empty, was now packed with cash and gold bars.

Michael stepped on the gas and headed to the agreed location.

"Call the police now."

Ethan was surprised again, thinking his earlier suggestion had been dismissed.

He quickly contacted the police, and hearing the large sum involved, they dispatched officers immediately.

Meanwhile, Quinn and Candy were also heading to the seafood market.

"Should we inform James?"

Candy thought James, being in the military, would have experience with such situations.

But Quinn said, "Why call him?"

He wasn't part of their team or a close friend of Chloe, so there was no need.

Candy turned to look at him. "Are you jealous?"

Quinn, usually gentle and refined, was the opposite of James.

Quinn coughed awkwardly. "You're overthinking it."

Candy raised an eyebrow, not convinced.

Maya, having hung up the phone, excitedly told Madeline that Michael agreed.

Madeline said, "We should have asked for 100 million!"

Chloe, tied up on the side, thought they were crazy.

She hadn't expected Michael to come so decisively with the money to rescue her.

He didn't even like her, and they were already divorced. Shouldn't he be indifferent to her plight?

Maya took out a pack of matches from her bag and started playing with them.

Chloe watched the flickering light, feeling a tight grip on her heart.

"Chloe, don't think that just because bringing the money, you'll

I promise you won't live tonight."

Maya's face twisted with malice, a sight that Chloe couldn't quite comprehend.

Why did she hate her so much?

She even joined forces with Madeline to torment the already frail Wendy.

Did they really have no heart?

heart began to race uncontrollably.

He stood outside, dialing the number that had called him earlier.

This time, the ringtone came from the decrepit wooden hut in front of him. He heard it clearly. "Open the door. I brought the money."

Maya and Madeline put on masks before opening the door.

Seeing his empty hands, they felt deceived. "Where's the money?"

If he didn't have the money, how would she pay back the compensation to Paramount Airlines?

"I told you, it's too heavy. It's in the car."

Maya and Madeline were clearly skeptical.

Michael glanced inside, immediately spotting the tightly bound Chloe, and his heart sank.This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

"You say it's in the car. How do I know you're not lying?"

Madeline was more rational.

Michael's expression remained calm. "Then come with me to the car, and you'll see I'm not lying."
