Chapter 570
Meanwhile, in Wonder Technologies.
Zoe told Wanda everything in tears and Wanda’s expression darkened.
“I don’t have that much money for you to take!” Wanda said in a cold expression, “the money has been spent and you can go ask the finance department if you don’t believe me! Go see for yourself if we still have 300 million lying around!”
Zoe gasped. “Of course you would say that you don’t have it when it’s not your life on the line here, Wanda! What would you have done if you were35 me?”
Wanda turned against her and said, “I’m not as foolish as you are! You can’t even keep the money you earn! If you are not capable of keeping it, you should have taken that 300 million and run somewhere far-off!”
“That’s not what you said when you begged me to invest in your company!” Zoe was burning inee rage.
Avery had only given her three days. She had to gather 300 million within three days because the last thing she wanted was for Elliot to find out about the truth. If he did, it would not be as simple as returning the money.
“What’s the point of saying this now?! I would have given you your money back by now if I have that much money in hand! Do you think that I’m trying to give you a hard time on purpose?” Wanda studied Zoe’s flushed face and she could sense that Zoe was spinning out of control; continuing to argue with her would only causeof trouble.
“Zoe, why don’t you ask your boyfriend to see how much he has? I will call finance again to see how much the company can spare… Okay?” Wanda’s tone softened.

Zoe’s eyes were filled with tears. “Cole is useless! I might as well go earn the money myself instead of counting on him! Call finance68 now!”
Wanda took a deep breath and picked up her phone to call the internal line of the finance department. The line was connected right away and she asked, “how much can you spare on your end?”
“How much do you need, Madam7a Tate?”
Wanda glanced at Zoe and muttered, “300 million!”
“What…? Madam Tate, we don’t have that much! There are only a little over a hundred and fifty hundred thousand in the safe…”
“Alright, I get it.” With that, she hung up.
“Wanda Tate, do you take me for a fool?” Zoe had taken out a dagger from her purse while Wanda was on the phone and pressed the blade against her neck.
Wanda froze, not daring to move. “Zoe! Put the knife down! I’ll give you money! I will give it to you! Lower the knife first!”
“No way! I will kill you right now if you don’t transfer the money to my account right away! Wanda Tate, I’m serious! Elliot is going to come for my life if you don’t give me back my money! I don’t have a choice! I don’t have a choice!” Zoe blurted out frantically as tears scrolled down her face. “I shouldn’t have come back here! My life wouldn’t have been ruined if I hadn’t come back!”
Zoe’s hand trembled and the tip of the dagger cut into Wanda’s skin.
Crimson blood was spilled, startling Zoe and she started screaming, “Wanda Tate! The money! Give me my money now! Otherwise, you are going to die! You are bleeding from your neck! There’s so much blood!”
Wanda felt it, too, and was scared out of her mind.
One hour later, Zoe escaped from Wonder Technologies hastily and went into her car, before driving away.
As she was driving, she slowly began to regain her composure.
She had gotten her money back and it was in her account now, which was to be transferred to Avery right away.
She had lost everyone and apart from Elliot and Avery, there was still another person responsible for her loss.
