Chapter 597 

In the president’s office at Nicholson Corp, Dahlia took a sip of coffee and continued immersing. herself in work. Although Hank didn’t show it, he was facing all sorts of obstacles in private. He pushed every matter to her, regardless of whether it was big or small, which caused her to be so busy that she had to work overtime every day till midnight

Ms. Nicholson….Right then, a young female assistant knocked on the door all of a sudden

What is it?Dahlia looked up at her. Because Julie wasn’t a very reliable secretary, she hired another assistant, Kelly Porch, to share the workload

Ms. Nicholson, someone sent you a parcel and asked me to pass it to you directly. The person mentioned that it’s a surprise,Kelly said, holding a gift box

Okay, put it on the desk.Dahlia nodded, then a thought struck her. Kelly, it’s getting late. You 

should head home first. You don’t have to wait for me.” 

Okay, Ms. Nicholson.Kelly turned around and left

Dahlia rubbed her eyes and finally finished her work. She turned her gaze to the gift box and decided to open it. However, the moment she opened it, she was so frightened that her face went deathly pale. What lay inside the gift box was a bloody hand! It was very obvious that the hand had just been cut off not long ago because the blood had not clotted yet. It was a very shocking sight

While she was still in shock, her phone suddenly rang. When she answered it, she immediately heard Duncan’s voice. Ms. Nicholson, you must have already received my gift.” 

Who are you?Dahlia’s expression went cold

Who I am is not important. What’s important is that your brother owes me 38 million dollars, and you have to repay his debt,Duncan said plainly

Why should I believe you?Dahlia frowned

You don’t believe me? Then listen for yourself.” Duncan said

Dahlia! Save me! Hurry up and save me! They cut my hand off!James shouted, his voice full of fear and misery

James! What’s going on? Why would you owe someone money?Dahlia hurriedly demanded

Dahlia! This isn’t the time to ask these questions. Hurry up and come here with the money, or I’m going to die!James sobbed over the phone

Ms. Nicholson, did you hear that? Bring me the money in exchange for him. Otherwise, I don’t know what other extreme things I’ll do to your brother.Duncan threatened

Don’t do anything! You just want money, don’t you? I’ll give it to you!said Dahlia in panic

Okay, then I’ll be awaiting your grand arrival,Duncan said with a laugh

After hanging up, Dahlia dared not waste another second and, without hesitation, immediately rushed to the casino. She couldn’t just sit around and do nothing when her brother was in danger. While driving, she called Dustin, but he didn’t pick up. She had no choice but to send him a text 

1/2 

along with the address 

20 minutes later, Dahlia arrived at the underground casino. After she told someone her name, at gangster led her to a VIP room on the second floor. A bunch of violentlooking gangsters were standing around inside the room

James was kneeling on the floor and trembling, his face streaked with tears and snot. Someone. had simply bandaged the stub of his arm where his hand should be, temporarily stopping the bleeding SisYou’re finally here!When James saw Dahlia walk in, he immediately wept tears of joy as if he saw his savior 

How dare you! Who taught you to gamble?Dahlia slapped James across the face. She knew that her brother liked to gamble. She had always warned him against it in all sorts of ways and had even given him a beating before. She had thought that he would have changed his ways, but who would have thought that he would get himself into more serious trouble now

“Ms. Nicholson, I won’t meddle with you disciplining your brother, but you must give me the money first,Duncan said with a cigar between his lips. 

It’s you?The moment Dahlia saw him, she immediately remembered something. She quickly realized that she had seen Duncan before. Previously, when she was eating at a restaurant, he had led a gang of people to look for trouble with Dustin but had gotten beaten up instead

That’s right. It’s me. Now, can you give me the money?Duncan said with a mirthless smile

This is a bank check for 38 million dollars, not a penny less.Dahlia placed a check on the table

I don’t want a check. I want the payment in cash,Duncan said with a shake of his head
