Chapter 321: Chapter 321: Is She an Illegitimate Child?
But what kind of video does the bigwig have to blackmail for five billion?
Ollie was very curious, so he clicked to check it.
Then, he saw the video of Nina Quinn holding July Quinn’s hand, asking July to teach her a dance move.
"July, I’ll teach you this move."
"You have to trust me, I can really teach you this move well; you trust me!"
"July, don’t push me!"
"July..."
Just from Nina’s words, nothing seemed off.
The key is that the video perfectly captured Nina’s expression shifting from sinister cunning to seamless fear and helplessness.
Moreover, July didn’t push Nina at all; it was Nina who grabbed July’s hand and then directly fell to the ground.
The fall looked gentle, nowhere near causing any real harm.
So... the bigwig is being framed!
Ollie knew very well that a bigwig would never resort to sneaky petty acts.
Like pushing down a pregnant woman or envying those marrying into wealthy families—she wouldn’t do it.
What she would do is something earth-shaking, such as... extorting him for five billion!
To make sure the bigwig sees that Ollie is capable of doing things and is very suited to be a small apprentice, Ollie quickly sent this video anonymously to Nina, demanding five billion.
When Nina received the threatening message, she had just returned home.
She was in a great mood because after cuing July, the Quinn Group’s market value rose along with the Callahan Family’s.
But then, a strange message came in.
Nina thought it was just like before, all those shabby people rushing to congratulate her on her impending marriage into a wealthy family.
Nina quite enjoyed being worshipped by these people because it gave her an unprecedented sense of superiority.
But upon opening the message, the pride on Nina’s face vanished, replaced by fear and shock.
"No..."
Back then, the plan to frame July was meant to, if she couldn’t successfully force Justin to marry, at least have the child blamed on July, staining her reputation, and making her ostracized by the public.
To achieve this, she had deliberately scoped it out.
The angle was such that other cameras couldn’t capture it.
But why was there still a video capturing this?
Nina didn’t have much time to think as another text message came in soon.
{"By noon, pay five billion. Otherwise, the video gets released."}
There was also a web link indicating where to transfer the funds.
Nina was extremely frightened.
If the video went public, everyone would know she deliberately framed July.
The profits she gained from cuing July would not only be lost but she’d have to pay a lot back.
But five billion!
Where could she temporarily gather so much money?
{"Who are you? I don’t have five billion; you know that."}
She attempted to contact the strange account to negotiate and find out who was behind it.
But that person didn’t respond at all.
When only half an hour remained until noon, the person sent another payment reminder.
{"You only have half an hour left. If you don’t pay, I will let the entire internet see your true face."}
{"But I really don’t have that much money."}
Nina sent this reply frantically.
The message went unanswered again.
As noon approached, Nina had no choice but to start gathering funds.
Recently, she took on a few online adverts after dissing July.
With the money from competing in Competition Dance, she only had close to one billion.
Thinking it over, Nina could only ask her mother, Amanda Ford, for money.
Amanda was initially unwilling to lend her so much money, but Nina said, "Mom, if you don’t help me, would you really watch that bastard climb above me?"
"Bastard?" Amanda was taken aback.
