Married a Secret Billionaire
Chapter 1573

"What? 700,000 dollars!" Sasha exclaimed.

Lina glanced at her with an indifferent smile. "What's the matter? 700,000 dollars isn't too much, is it? Besides, you promised to give my daughter a special gift. You can't back out now!"

"Exactly!" Arya walked over, playfully patting Sasha's shoulder. "Lenny, you'll give it to Sephy, right? Pammy, a gem is a small price for your close friendship!"

Sasha's expression shifted, but she stayed silent. Did Lina live such a lavish life that she didn't care about such money? Was that why she spoke this way?

"Oh, isn't that Lena, close to Ms. Thompson?" Some nearby female celebrities started whispering. "Did you catch what they were saying?"

"It seems... they had a prior agreement. Lena was supposed to give Ms. Thompson's daughter a grand gift, and now she seems to be backing out."

"Really? Well, their high-society sisterhood doesn't seem so special after all! Lena used to act inseparable from Ms. Thompson, following her everywhere... Why doesn't she keep up appearances now that she's with the Hamerton heir?"

"The gift is worth 700,000 dollars... Their plastic bond isn't even worth that much!"

Sasha couldn't hide her irritation. She was about to turn and scold them when Lina gripped her wrist.

"Let it be, Lenny," Lina said gently. "These people are accustomed to gossiping behind others' backs. I'll deal with them later."

"Yeah, they're Sol Entertainment artists. You should definitely address it!" Sasha felt frustrated. "Lina, they represent Sol Entertainment at events like this-they affect your reputation! Speaking ill of you behind your back will damage your image."

"True." Lina smiled mysteriously, looking down at Sasha's wrist. "These artists represent my reputation, and that butterfly on your hand... Does it symbolize your reputation?"

Sasha's heart raced as she quickly pulled her hand back, locking eyes with Lina.

Meanwhile, the Thompson bodyguards had already brought the police to Sasha's villa.

Zachary stood in the yard, extending his hands calmly. The cold handcuffs were fastened with a click, and he felt a heavy burden lift from his heart.

"Is this the place?" the police officer asked sternly.

Zachary nodded and led the police to the concealed room where Lena had been held, assisting in collecting evidence.

"How long did you keep her here?"

"Two days."

"Chief!" Another officer rushed over. "Ms. Thompson's information was accurate-it's this place! We've also confirmed that the Chrisses own this villa."

"That's correct." Zachary managed a smile. "It belongs to the Chrisses... because Sasha is also a Chriss daughter."

"You're mistaken, sir." The officer sneered. "Mr. Chriss claimed the DNA report is invalid! So, you two impostors from Southeast Aciatic better prepare for legal consequences!"

"What are you suggesting?" Zachary was in disbelief!

On the day he released Lena, Zuko and Lina appeared together. They had agreed he would reveal the entire kidnapping operation to authorities in exchange for Sasha returning to the Chrisses as their rightful heiress.

But now, the police were saying something entirely different!

"No... This can't be!" Zachary was frantic. "We're not impostors! Sasha truly is a Chriss!"

"Sir, did someone make a deal with you?"

"Yes! Zuko Hamerton and-"

"Oh, I remember now." The officer raised an eyebrow and sneered. "Mr. Hamerton and Ms. Thompson sent me to convey a message to you. It's a simple message..." Zachary's mind went blank.

The officer leaned in close to his ear, speaking harshly. "All's fair in war!"

A loud explosion seemed to resound in Zachary's ears, leaving him in complete shock.

"Take the suspect away!" The officer waved his hand. "We have one more suspect to apprehend, but we now know her exact location. Begin the arrest immediately!"
