Chapter 162 Money Talks

Arissa sat across from Danna.

A spiteful look fleeted across Danna’s face. With a smile, she mocked, “I didn’t think you are one to be

late for your appointments! I guess you don’t really want to know.”

No one has ever made me wait so long! Arissa must be doing this on purpose!

Danna cursed inwardly, yet she could manage a smile, albeit a disdainful one.

At the same time, Arissa swept a glance at Danna. “You wouldn’t beat around the bush if you intend to

let me know, Ms. Adams. Just say it!”

She reached into her pocket while maintaining eye contact with the woman opposite her.

Since both of them knew each other’s identities, there was no point in hiding anything.

They might as well put their cards on the table.

Danna ran her fingers along the rim of her cup. “Why do you seem so certain that I will tell you the truth?”

Arissa was unfazed by Danna’s provocation. After all, she already had an inkling of what happened five

years ago.

She wouldn’t be controlled by Danna.

Danna smiled. “You sure are calm! Don’t you want to know how I brought you there back then?”

Arissa tightened her fists as her eyes burned with hatred.

“So it was you! Danna, why would you set me up when I have nothing against you?”

Danna had held her captive for over half a year. Every time she thought back to that period of time, she

found herself consumed by animosity.

Never had she ever expected Danna to admit to her crimes directly. Does she think she’s untouchable

just because she’s from the Adams family?

“It’s your fault for having slept with the wrong man!”

Danna glared at Arissa indignantly.

On that fateful night, she was supposed to lie with Benjamin, but Arissa snatched the opportunity from

her.

If I were Gavin’s biological mother, Benjamin wouldn’t have given me the cold shoulder. I would have

loved Gavin if I were the one who gave him life.

All the while, Arissa wore a glum look as she glared at Danna, whose arrogance permeated her features.

“Don’t you think I might tell Benjamin everything you told me?”

Back then, she had been tricked into sleeping with Benjamin.

She had no idea that was him in the first place.

Otherwise, it wouldn’t have taken her so many years to find Gavin.

“I choose to tell you because I’m not afraid of you snitching on me. Do you think Benjamin will believe

you?”

Danna stared at Arissa scornfully. It was an act of mockery as well as an attempt to feel things out. She

wasn’t sure if Arissa had told Benjamin what really happened.

As long as Arissa remained silent, Danna would have nothing to worry about. She could allow Arissa to

leave.

Meanwhile, Arissa suppressed her anger. She’s right. Benjamin wouldn’t believe in me even if I told him.

I came clean to him last night and he didn’t believe me at all.

Annoyed, Arissa glowered at Danna. “Cut the crap! What are you trying to imply?”

“Leave Benjamin!”

Danna eyed Arissa arrogantly as she leaned against her chair.

At that moment, Arissa found the situation quite amusing.

“I want you to leave him. Don’t ever show your face in front of him again. Do that, and I can pay you

handsomely!”

Danna took out a check she had written prior the meeting. It was worth two million. She placed it on the

table and pushed it toward the other woman.

After glancing at it, Arissa smirked.

“Ms. Adams, do you think I can be bribed with money? You kidnapped my children!”

Arissa saw red. She wished that she could get rid of the vicious woman.

This is far from over! I have a score to settle with you! You better get your head out of the clouds!

Danna merely tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. Then, she declared, “Do you have proof that I did

that? Watch your tongue, lest I sue you for slander!”

“Just a minute ago, you admitted to locking me up. Now, you say you didn’t kidnap my children? If it

hadn’t been for you, my son wouldn’t have been used as a pawn for you to get close to Benjamin! You

can lie all you want to a child, but you won’t be able to deceive me! Do you have what it takes to take me

on in front of Benjamin?

“Do you think he will keep spoiling you if he finds out what you have done? How can you be sure he

loves you? Will he leave you hanging for five years without marrying you if he really loves you? Forgive

me for my ignorance, for I don’t understand love, but now I see that true love is something that can be

delayed for years on end!”
