Chapter 206: You! Devins grin froze, his expression hardening as a surge of rage flared in his chest.

Allison lifted a hand to her head, drawing a shaky breath.

Her voice, thin and wavering, barely carried across the small room.

Stop the theatrics.

Just hand over the photo.

Suddenly, her posture faltered, and she swayed slightly, as if struggling to keep her balance.

Givethe photo, and the moneys yours, she murmured, her tone weak.

With slow, deliberate motion, she cracked open her suitcase, revealing stacks of cash meticulously arranged inside.

Devins eyes locked onto the money, the greed unmistakable in his gaze.

He didnt even try to hide it.

He glanced at Allisons fragile stance, a sly smile spreading across his face as he realized the drug was working.

Alright, Ill give it to you, he chuckled darkly, inching closer.

His hand reached out, fingers grazing her arm as he leaned in.

This café belonged to a friend of his, and Devin knew the private room had hidden cameras.

If he played his cards right, hed walk away with more than just the cash.

Hed have leverage footage that would give him complete control over Allison.

With a smirk, he pulled out the photograph and waved it mockingly.

Relax, Allison.

Youre not looking too well.

How about I keep you company for a while? We can get comfortable, and then maybe III hand it over.

His fingers brushed dangerously close to her chest, but then a flash of steel sliced through the air.

Before he could even register what happened, a sharp pain shot through his hand.

He glanced down in shock, seeing his finger severed on the floor, blood spurting in a vicious arc.

It took a moment for the reality to sink in, and then the pain hit him like a tidal wave.

Ahhh! My hand! Allison twirled the gleaming knife between her fingers with the scalm composure as if she were handling a pen.

Carefully, she plucked the photo from his trembling grasp, ensuring no blood would stain it.

You... you bitch! Devin stammered, his voice a strangled mix of agony and disbelief.

He raised his uninjured hand, but his strength was already draining.

Allison regarded him with chilling indifference as she packed the money back into her suitcase.

He couldnt even bend down to retrieve his severed finger.

Helpless and humiliated, he could only curse through gritted teeth.

You never took the drug.

You were playingthe whole time, he spat.

Hed fallen into her trap, but how had she swapped the coffee? Allisons gaze bored into him, cold and unwavering.

I warned you.

Mess withagain, and it wont end with just words.

She waved the photo tauntingly, then closed the suitcase with a decisive snap.

Next twe meet, it might not just be a finger you lose it could be your head.

Her voice was steady, almost too calm, sending a chill down his spine.

He could see it in her eyes.

She looked like shed killed before, and shed do it again.

Devin stood frozen in place, paralyzed by fear.

He watched, powerless, as Allison turned on her heel and strode out of the room, photo and money in hand.

Panting, he glanced at the bloody finger on the floor.

Rage and pain surged through him.

Gritting his teeth, he snatched up the severed digit, wincing as the pain flared.

With his unsteady hand, he dialed a number on his phone.

Hello? You owesdamn money, he growled as soon as Melany picked up.

Her voice on the other end was clipped, laced with impatience.

Did you succeed? Why are you callingnow? This useless man kept bothering her for money when the job still wasnt done.

Succeed my ass! he shouted, tears of pain and frustration mixing with his sweat.

That bitch Allison cut off my finger! Do you hear me? Im sitting here bleeding, and youre talking about Devin wailed as he explained everything.

Melany felt her annoyance flare at his stupidity.

Before she could scold him, he interrupted, Miss Johnson, this is your fault.. if it werent for your orders Oh, shut up! Melany snapped, her voice biting. If you hadnt been so greedy, none of this wouldve happened.

Dont blme for your stupidity.

But you can still salvage this, she added, her eyes flashing.

A woman who dumps her old boyfriend for money and wantonly commits violence could create quite alscandal, dont you think? Even someone like you should be able to pull this off. Devin paused, then gritted his teeth.

I know what to do.

In his rage and thirst for revenge, he completely ignored Shermans and Allisons warnings. Melanys lips curled in anticipation.

Good.

Ill contact sreporters to give you a hand.

She was planning to give Allison a taste of her own medicine.

After all, Allison had used the media to expose her and Coltons scandals.

Now it was payback time.
