The Kiss that Sparked it All

Chapter 2112

Raven and his crew did not suspect a thing.

Only Clara was sneering, “Idiots, she’s broke as a joke, and you’re falling for it? If you had any brains, you’d be

tearing Ivy a new one right now, snapping some juicy pics, and selling them to the tabloids for a quick buck,

hahaha…”

Ivy remained cool as a cucumber. “Ignore her. Try the card ending in ’84, see if there’s any cash left on it.”

Balfour arrived before the cops.

The thunderous noise of the helicopter was bound to alert the thugs holed up in the derelict building.

“Mr. Howard, we’re ready to land.”

Eventually, they opted for a clearing a couple of blocks away. Even though it was almost a kilometer from the

He and a few officers took cover near the entrance of the unfinished building, eyes glued to any movement by the

stairwell.

One second, two seconds…

In the silence, he could only hear his own heartbeat.

Meanwhile, upstairs, the thugs’ faces were turning darker than burnt toast.

Card after card they tried, all showing insufficient funds!

Raven ground his teeth and approached Ivy. Then, out of nowhere, he yanked her hair, tilting her head back

sharply.

“Ouch!” Ivy cried out, eyes shut tight to hide the fear within, “What are you doing? There’s one card left, isn’t

there? Try them all, then do whatever you want with me!”

Blondie was also on edge. This woman had claimed to be loaded, yet after five cards, they had not found a dime!

Raven relaxed his grip, “You better pray your sugar daddy filled up that last card, or else….
