Chapter 546
“He’s still unconscious,” Erica said indifferently.
With that, Mrs. Garner stopped talking.
As Erica turned to look at her, disgust flashed through her eyes. Finally, she drove into a seaside path surrounded
by reeds.
At this sight, Mrs. Garner commented in surprise, “Your friend owns a hotel here?”
“No, we made an appointment to meet here. With so much money, she has to find a hidden place to give it to me
or it’ll be bad if someone steals it from us,” Erica explained while deliberately dialing her phone. But in fact, there
would be no answer as she called her other phone which she usually left in her house.
“Oh no! My friend isn’t answering. Let’s go over and see if she has arrived,” Erica suggested pretentiously.
For the sake of money, Mrs. Garner didn’t think much about her words and believed her. Hence, they drove all the

and dialed her friend’s phone again, Mrs. Garner immediately looked over.
“Hayley, are you here yet? What, you didn’t have time to wait for me? So, where did you keep the money? Why did
you leave it there? Okay, I get it. I’ll take it myself then.” Once Erica finished speaking and hung up the phone, she
said, “Mrs. Garner, my friend left the money somewhere, so let’s go and check!”
Mrs. Garner nodded and followed her all the way to the edge of the cliff.
Erica pointed to a stone and said, “My friend left the money behind that stone. Let’s go over and see whether it’s
there.”
At first, Mrs. Garner was walking behind her, but Erica took out a card and suddenly threw it beside the bush. “Oh
no! Mrs. Garner, my card has been blown away. Hurry and help me pick it up. It’s actually for you.”
When Mrs. Garner saw the card, she instantly rushed over to pick it up without hesitation. Then, Erica seized the
opportunity and took advantage of Mrs. Garner’s moment of distraction to cruelly shove her to the bottom of the
cliff two meters away. Mrs. Garner waved her hand in horror to grab at something, but her hands only grasped at
air and she was soon swallowed by the raging sea below.
Seeing that she had succeeded, Erica lay on the edge of the cliff and looked around for a while. Then, she finally
breathed a sigh of relief and said while clutching her chest, “You were asking for it, so don’t blame me.”
She sat and watched for a long time, but she didn’t see Mrs. Garner’s body at all. From the looks of the dark sea
current, it was impossible for the person involved to float, let alone survive. Even if Mrs. Garner was discovered and
they interrogated Erica, she could just make up an alibi. As Mrs. Garner had no children and lived all by herself, it
was reasonable for her to jump into the

sea and end her own life out of loneliness.
As Erica drove home, she felt completely relaxed. She had finally solved one of her biggest troubles, and no one
would ever discover her parentage again. Along the way home, she acted as though nothing happened and
continued to eat, drink, and have fun. Last night, Alex told her that the company’s situation had improved. Now, she
could simply wait for the profits to come rolling in from the company and make herself a fortune with peace of

In the company, Alex began to prepare for the transfer and embezzlement of the 30 million. He planned to fake a
negotiation with a dummy company, then send the money over to that company before having it wired back to
himself. The money could then be considered as part of their company’s deficit.
On the other hand, Hayley was not enjoying herself in Alex’s apartment. She had now lost her sense of taste and
smell, which greatly inconvenienced her life. After she got up early this morning, she went to the mirror and
admired her beauty before moving onto a detailed skin care routine. Suddenly, she felt a few bumps on her
forehead with a hint of bruises. Although it couldn’t be seen easily, the protruding bumps on her face were a little
obvious.
“What’s this?” Hayley stretched out her hand and covered her forehead, not daring to take a closer look all of a
sudden. As she previously had a flat forehead, she went for a Botox injection.
