The Wrong Woman

Chapter 572

Soon after, Nathan sent a document over to Mila without any accompanying message. Mila clicked open and found a recorded message inside. She listened attentively as Avery's voice filled the recording. Avery's voice came through. "You sly fox, you actually hid a 28-billion mansion? You sure know how to keep secrets."

Confused, Zach asked, "What are you talking about?"

Mila's heart ached as she heard Zach's voice. Overwhelmed with emotions, she covered her mouth to muffle her sobs.

Avery pressed on, "Still pretending, are you?"

Zach countered, "What do you want?"

Avery instructed, "Draft a new will. Transfer the mansion to Oliver. Trust me, it's in your best interest to do as I said. Or else, you, your son, daughter-in-law, and grandson won't see another sunrise."

It dawned on Mila how risky Nathan's move had been. Without any direct contact with Zach, Nathan had gambled on guessing his reactions and intentions.

Had Zach denied it all or been uncooperative, the plan would've unraveled.

As Mila anxiously held her breath, praying that Zach would be clever enough to handle the situation, Zach spoke again, "I can change the will, but I want to visit Loretta's grave."

"You're in no position to negotiate," Avery shot back.

Defeated, Zach replied, "Then go ahead and end us all. Ever since Loretta passed, life lost its meaning.

"My family has been your prisoners for years. Once you've siphoned off our family's assets abroad, they won't survive either."

There was a brief silence before Avery finally responded, "Fine, I'll grant your wish, but I'll decide the timing."

"Agreed," Zach replied.

The recorded conversation stirred deep emotions in Mila, her eyes welling with tears. Amidst her overwhelming feelings, a glimmer of hope ignited.

For the past six months, Nathan had

kept a close watch on Avery. Avery

had never attempted to contact Oliver, nor had she reached out to Zach or her parents. S

Yet, what Avery didn't know was the extent of advanced surveillance technology. Even with a new number, any signal she sent be detected within the vicinity.

Nathan hağ dangled a 28-billion bait, aiming to entice Avery into

contacting Zach about changing the will. The moment she reached out to Zach, their location would be pinpointed.

What surprised Mila was Zach's sharp wit.

Realizing he had no 28-billion estate to leave in a will, he immediately saw through the ruse, recognizing it as a trap.

The meticulous planning and significant resources behind the trap hinted at someone powerful.

Zach quickly deduced Nathan's involvement and craftily suggested a visit to Loretta's grave, a seemingly innocent request.Contents belong to NovelDrama.Org

Mila refrained from contacting Nathan with calls or messages. She knew Nathan and his team were lying in wait around the graveyard in the dead of night. Unsure of when Avery would bring Zach for the visit, they remained vigilant at all times.

The wait was agonizingly long, fraught with the risk of exposure.

All Mila could do was silently pray and refrain from interfering, hoping that when dawn broke, her precious family would appear before her, safe and sound.
