Life at the Top

Chapter 2401

Lydia’s words extinguished Dora’s last bit of fighting spirit.

Now that she was outnumbered, it would be extremely difficult to escape. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

If there was a chance to live, who would choose to die?

Her expression began to soften.

“What deal?”

At this time, she did not try to bargain. There was still a fight going on and she could not afford to delay any more.

Once other people arrived, Lydia would definitely not propose a deal to her again under the watchful eyes of third parties. By then, she would definitely be doomed.

“My boss said if you want to live, he can let you live, but only if you do something for us.”

“Do something for you?” When Dora heard this sentence, it was as if she had heard the most ridiculous joke. “Are my ears playing tricks on me or are you crazy? I’m the eldest daughter of the Rothschilds and you actually want me to do something for you?”

Facing Dora’s ridicule, Lydia’s face remained unchanged.

Then, he said lightly, “Now you are still the eldest daughter of the Rothschilds, but it’s hard to say whether you will be tomorrow.”

Hearing this, Dora’s expression tightened. She understood what Lydia meant.

Once the matter was revealed, her family would definitely cut ties with her. She might not even be able to keep her surname, let alone the identity of the Rothschild’s eldest daughter.

“You… ”

She was about to say something, but Lydia interrupted her.

“Think about the people you offended before, Miss Dora. If they learned you had lost your family’s protection, what do you think they would do to you?”

Dora shuddered unconsciously.

As the person involved, she was too aware of her previous behavior. She had been so arrogant and lawless.

At that time, with her family as her shield, others dared not do anything to her, but what if they no longer chose to stand with her?

Her enemies would definitely choose revenge on her without hesitation! At that time, her end would be worse than death.

“But… Even if you let me go back now, my position as the heir will definitely be removed…” Dora murmured.

“But at least you will still be a member of the Rothschilds. As long as you are alive, you will still have a chance.”

Lydia’s decisive voice dispelled Dora’s last scruples.

“Aren’t you afraid that I will go back on my word once I go back?”

Dora, who had figured out what was at stake, returned to her usual seductive and sexy side. She licked her lips and leaned closer to Lydia to say in a charming voice.

“Of course, you can go back on your word, but…” Lydia paused at this point and said quietly, “But you don’t want your family and the others to see the evidence of you here, right? Without evidence, no matter how much speculation there is, it’s just speculation. But with evidence, you won’t be able to rid yourself of it…”

Dora was silent.

After a long while, Dora finally raised her head and said dully, “Okay, fine.”

“Then, I wish you all the best.” Lydia stepped aside, leaving a passage for Dora to pass through.

Edmund glared at them and walked into the passage first.

Meanwhile, Dora trailed behind him. However, Edmund did not notice Lydia looking at his back with a hint of pity.

Soon, Dora and the two figures disappear down the passage. Three minutes later, there was a dull gunshot in the passage.

Edmund was dead.

“Okay, let’s call it a day.” Lydia turned around, smiling broadly.
