Chapter 643
Naturally, the bald men obeyed Elodia's commands. When they heard it, they wasted no time searching all over Benjamin to find his phone, which he had on him. Then, they untied his hands and demanded, "Kid, did you hear that? Transfer all of the money."
After that, one of the bald men turned and asked Elodia, Miss Hudson, where do you want the money to be transferred?"
Elodia instantly provided him with her bank account number.
All of the money spent by the Hudson family was supposedly hers.
She vowed to get everything that they had taken away from her back.
She was able to put what had already been spent out of her mind, but there was no way she was going to give the Hudson family a single penny under any circumstances.
By fixing a murderous glare on Elodia, Benjamin earned himself another thudding slap from the bald man. This time, he seemed to have learned his lesson since he transferred 4,000 dollars to Elodia's account.
"I only have this much money. That's all I've got!" Benjamin declared.
The bald man, of course, didn't believe him. He bellowed, "Guys, since he can't be obedient, let's chop off his tongue first so that he won't lie." In an instant, two men of the Skydragon moved forward, blades drawn. They started moving in the direction of Benjamin's mouth.
Clearly, they wouldn't do any actual harm to him.
Benjamin, stricken with terror, pleaded, Don't cut my tongue off! I meant I have money with me. I'll transfer everything to Elodia."
With his hands trembling furiously, tears welled up in his eyes as he begged Elodia, "I messed up big time. You're my sister. You'll definitely forgive me, right? You're my sister, and I'm the only man in the Hudson family. As long as I transfer everything I have to you, you will let me go, right?"
"You're the man of the family. So you're worth a lot of money?" Elodia mocked.
While Benjamin was begging continuously, his eyes flashed a menacing glint, but he continued, "I don't worth anything to you, Elodia. You're doing much better than we are now. You just want your money back, right? I'll give everything to you. I won't hold even a penny with me. Elodia, let me go! I am begging you!"
Benjamin was reduced to tears. He would've been on his knees if Skydragon's men weren't keeping him up.
Elodia, on the other hand, didn't fail to catch the depraved lunacy that lurked within his eyes.
Her eyes sparkled with sarcasm and her grin broadened as she assured him, "Absolutely! I promise to let you go if you give me all your money."
Benjamin immediately asked, Are you going to keep your word?"
"Believe it or not, it's up to you. You said it yourself. I just want my money back," Elodia shrugged.
Benjamin believed her words almost in an instant.
He had the impression that even if someone as spineless and impotent as Elodia managed to stand up on her own, she still wouldn't dare to do any harm to him. After all, she wanted nothing more than to have all her money back.
Upon learning Elodia's true motive, the Hudsons felt an instant sense of relief.
Afterward, Benjamin continued to transfer the rest of his funds to Elodia.
After making a few more transfers, he was going to say he was out of money.
The bald man turned to one of his minions and said, "Check the kid's account. If he dares to leave a dollar in his account, cut off his tongue and chop off his hands and feet."
She had indeed planned to leave him without a single dime.
Benjamin's hand trembled at the sound of that and muttered, I won't hold any money. I won't hold even a single penny."
Even as he was saying it, he realized he was out of luck. He gave Elodia all that he had in his account.
He made a solemn vow to himself that if he made it out of here alive today, he would absolutely find a way to make Elodia pay back twice as much in the future.
He cast a forlorn glance toward Elodia while he asked, "I'm done. Can I go now, Elodia?"
He wasn't an unattractive guy. He never failed to display a pitiful expression. That was why their parents often took it out on Elodia first when they were kids, even if he or she was at fault. Then, they would give Benjamin a big hug and tell him he was their darling.
Benjamin excelled at playing the victim and winning over the hearts of everyone around him.
Elodia felt disgusted at the sight of him, but her expression remained unchanged as she said, "That's enough. Get lost. I don't want to see you ever again."
She tried her best to act tough.
The bald man was shocked. "Miss Hudson, you're really going to let him go?"
Elodia nodded.
The bald man and the others didn't want to, but this was Elodia's business, and they had no business getting involved.
They were required to comply with all that Elodia ordered them to do as per Miss Hudson's commands.
Therefore, they released Benjamin.
The bald man pointed at the other young men at the corner and asked Elodia, "Miss Hudson, what about these people?"
Elodia glanced at them and said, "Beat them up."
Despite his disappointment at having to release Benjamin, the bald guy relished the opportunity to finally give the young men a good beating.
Not long after that, those young men were scattered all over the room, with bruises covering every part of their bodies. Then, they managed to stand up and stumbled away. As of right now, they despised Benjamin to the core.
Why would they have helped Benjamin if they had known how challenging Elodia was to cope with and how stupid he was?
The only ones left in the room were Elodia and the bald men.
"I have another favor to ask of you," Elodia said to the bald men.
As she was talking, she was about to wire the funds to the bald man and his friends as she explained, "This is me hiring every one of you here."
The bald man quickly waved his hand and refused, "Miss Hudson, you're Miss Thompson's friend. What do you want to do? Just say the word, but we won't take your money." Elodia didn't argue further. Instead, she spoke to the bald man and the others in a hushed voice.
Everyone, even the bald man, looked up to her with respect and admiration.
After Benjamin left, he didn't go anywhere.
Instead, he went straight into his parent's room.
Upon first seeing him, Lilian went straight up to him and asked, Baby, did you get Elodia? Did you get the money from her?"
Benjamin hesitated for a second before answering, "Yes, but Elodia has too much money. Now, it's stashed away in the bank. There's no way I can withdraw it."
Lilian said in a state of terror, "So what should we do? Tell Elodia to get it herself!"
"She couldn't withdraw it either because the money was given to her by the Lockwood family.
"Mom, there's only one way now, and that's to put all our money into Elodia's account. That way, we'll have tangible evidence that the money is ours. That way, the bank will allow us to withdraw the money." Benjamin began to make things up.
Neither Alistair nor Lilian could read or write. As a result of their faith in Benjamin, they accepted his story without question.
Instantly, Lilian responded, 1 Baby, hurry up and deposit the cash. Don't you have a ton of money in your account?" Benjamin replied, "My money is still not enough. Mom, you should transfer all the cash that you and dad have to me." That was a shock to Lilian.
"Mom, hurry up! The bank isn't waiting for us."
Benjamin urged his parents anxiously.
Lilian quickly ran to look for Alistair.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
Alistair also believed in Benjamin's words, so he transferred most of his wealth to Benjamin.
Benjamin felt a flutter of enthusiasm. He was rich again!
Then, he caught a glance of Alistair leaving 20 thousand dollars in his account.
He quickly asked, "Dad, what did you save that money for?"
Lilian explained, Baby, your father and I still have to eat. And the money to stay in a hotel..."
"Oh dear, can't you just stay in an ordinary hotel? How expensive a five-star hotel is! You only need some money to eat. Why do you think you'll need so much money?"
As he spoke, he snatched Alistair's phone and transferred the remaining 20 thousand dollars from Alistair's account to his, leaving only tens of dollars for his parents.
Alistair and Lilian stared at him in shock.
Benjamin raced out of the room after making the money transfer. Before he left, he warned, "There's something I need to take care of first. The both of you better behave." With that, he disappeared.
Alistair and Lilian watched him go from the room where they remained. Despite their best efforts, they felt uncomfortably odd.
Right as Benjamin left the hotel, he started cursing, "You two old fogies, I'm so sorry. You said that you love me and are willing to give both of your lives for me. You won't hold it against me, will you?" As he finished talking, he was going to call a cab and leave.
His goals in life now were to have fun and become the head of his own successful business. He planned to exact his vengeance on Elodia as soon as he got rich.
However, just as he stepped to the side of the road and was ready to hail a cab, a black sports car sped up from behind and slammed into him. The horror in Benjamin's eyes was palpable. The next moment, he was sent flying.

As the window of the black sports car was rolled down, it revealed the face of the bald guy. Elodia, who was sitting in the backseat, turned to Benjamin with a beaming grin on her face.
Benjamin felt a sudden icy feeling spread across his whole body. That was a terror like none before.
For Benjamin, Elodia now resembled the devil herself.
That frightened him. He was paralyzed with fear.
Before passing out, he promised himself that if he lived, he would never again offend Elodia.
Rather, he was immediately petrified with fear at the sight of Elodia's face.
