Chapter 341 The Five Million Dollar Deal Tobias's face turned wary as he stared at the stranger.
"Who are you?" "My nis Aurelia Kingsley. I'm a colleague of Sophia's, but she's taken a lot of endorsements from me. I need her to pay for that. If you're willing to help me, I'll make sure you're well compensated once this is over." Aurelia proposed the collaboration, now it was up to Tobias to decide.
Tobias was desperate for money, so he was inclined to help Aurelia.
Besides, Sophia had been ignoring him, and getting money from her wasn't going to be easy.
But...
Tobias had just gotten out of prison. If he got caught doing something illegal again, he could be facing life imprisonment.
He didn't want to take any risks. He looked at Aurelia cautiously and asked, "Are you sure this will work? Are you sure you're not settingup?" He was still hesitant to trust anyone, especially since Aurelia seemed to be planning something extreme. Tobias didn't want to end up back in that dark, hopeless prison.
If he could get money through legitimate means, he wouldn't even consider anything shady.
But Aurelia laughed at Tobias's concerns, her eyes mocking.
"You want to make money, and you think it will be easy? But don't worry, what I need you to do isn't anything violent. Just a livestream where you accuse Sophia. As long as what you say stirs public opinion and drags Sophia into it, I'll give you this much." Aurelia held up five fingers.
Tobias's face lit up with a smile, and he immediately asked, "Are you saying I'll get fifty thousand dollars?" Aurelia shook her head and named a figure.
"Don't underestimate me. If you do what I need and I'm satisfied, I'll give you five million dollars. I'll ensure you live comfortably for the rest of your life. How does that sound? Still need tto think?" Aurelia's tempting offer was something Tobias couldn't refuse.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtFive million dollars was a fortune Tobias had never seen in his life.
With that money, Tobias could live carefree forever, so he agreed to Aurelia's deal. "Alright, I agree." And so, Tobias followed Aurelia.
When Tobias arrived at Aurelia's house, he was stunned by the luxurious mansion. He couldn't believe he was stepping into such an opulent place.
Aurelia took a high-end wine from her collection.
Tobias didn't know much about wine, but the packaging alone told him these were expensive.
Aurelia did this to ensure Tobias would work hard for her.
She opened it, poured a glass, and handed it to him.
Tobias took the glass with both hands, inhaling the aroma, and then drank it all in one go.
Aurelia's eyes showed a hint of disdain.
Most people would savor such fine wine slowly, but Tobias, who had never experienced such luxury, was eager to gulp it down.
Tobias finished the glass and burped, but he didn't stop. He asked Aurelia to pour him another glass, his greedy expression annoying her.
Aurelia poured him another glass, watching as Tobias drank it all in one go again. Tobias was enjoying himself, savoring the taste he hadn't had in years.

Tobias then stared at Aurelia and asked, "You must want to know something else from me, right?" He wasn't stupid. Besides dealing with Sophia, there had to be other things Aurelia needed him for, or she wouldn't offer such a generous reward.
Aurelia smiled, not denying it.
"Go ahead, ask what you want to know." Tobias looked at Aurelia.
"Why did you go to prison? Sophia has never acknowledged having family all these years. What's the reason for that?" Aurelia had investigated these matters but found no leads.
There was only one explanation: something had been covered up.
Or someone had deliberately hidden the past, not wanting it to be discovered. There must be a significant secret involving Sophia.
And Tobias, as Sophia's father, was the closest person to her and likely knew these secrets.
Now, hearing Aurelia's questions, Tobias's expression showed a hint of guilt.
But that was enough to prove Tobias knew something.
However, Tobias seemed reluctant to speak, unwilling to bring up the past.
"Are you sure you won't tell me?" Aurelia asked with a smile.
Before she spoke, she had already taken out a bank card and waved it in front of Tobias.
Tobias's eyes were fixed on the card, his gaze filled with greed.

Tobias hesitated for several minutes, torn between two voices in his head. One told him not to get involved in Sophia's past, or he might get into trouble again.
But the other voice told him that the incident was long past, and no one om would uncover the truth. Besides, he NOV was just talking, not doing anything harmful. The police wouldn't arrest him. And so.
Tobias made up his mind.
He reached out and grabbed the bank card from Aurelia's hand, clutching it tightly.
"I'll tell you everything I know, but you can't take this money back." "Of course not." Aurelia smiled and assured him, finally getting the information she wanted.
After Tobias finished talking, Aurelia's gaze was complicated.
She said nothing, and they began discussing what Tobias should say in the upcoming live stream...
Meanwhile.
Sophia had been sleeping for a long time, but she was jolted awake by a nightmare, drenched in sweat, sitting on the edge of the bed, her face showing terror.
Steven heard the commotion in the bedroom and rushed in.
Seeing Sophia's frightened expression, he immediately sat on the bed and hugged her tightly.
"Sophia, it's me..." Steven spoke to Sophia, bringing her back to reality.
Sophia's vacant eyes finally focused on Steven, and she hugged him back.
"Steven... I dreamed of Tobias... and he... he cforagain..."
