Chapter 771 Unimaginable Thoughts

'Humph! This family is as shameless as before! How could this kind of people ever exist?'

Angelina also knew that they had something on her. If she didn't give them what they wanted...

Angelina closed her eyes and asked, "How much do you want?"'Let's get this over with, ' she thought.

How much?

The Li family looked at each other. They didn't expect that Angelina would agree so easily.

It took them by surprise.

"Hold on. We'll just talk about it first," Jacob said to Angelina.

Letting out an exasperated breath, she listened to them discussing in front of her.

"We're two million dollars in debt. If we just ask for the amount enough to pay it off, we won't have any money left after paying it. How much money should we ask for now?"

"How much do you think we should ask for?"

"How about five million?"

"Will she agree to pay so much?"

"She has to agree, even if she is not willing to. We have something on her now. If she doesn't give us the amount, we'll tell the Gu family about her identity. I believe the Gu family will pay us a lot of money if we tell them this news."

After all, they must want to find their real daughter, the one they lost years ago, not just someone who pretended to be her.

If the Gu family knew this, would Angelina still act like this now?

After they discussed for a while, they turned to look at Angelina. "We want five million dollars."

"Five million? Why don't you just go rob the bank?"

Angelina retorted sarcastically, throwing her hands in the air in disbelief.

Five million! Even though the Gu family adored her very much, they only gave her a few hundred thousand a month.

Besides that, the Gu family bought her a lot of things. She didn't need to buy anything else.

Even the clothes she wore were tailor-made, ordered by the Gu family.

When she was around her friends, she was also very generous, often treating them to meals and shopping sprees.

A lot of them actually envied her because of her lavish lifestyle. Even so, since she had so many nice things, she often just ended up giving them up as gifts to her peers, and so there wasn't really any bad blood between them.

As for the monthly allowance the Gu family had been giving her, Angelina had saved most of it over the past five years. The total amount of savings she now had was around six or seven million.

After all, as the only daughter of the Gu family, she had a lot of financial benefits. Her family loved her very much and gave her several bank cards. Her brother Jeremy was the CEO of the family business and of course he gave her a lot too.

Looking at the dismay in Angelina's face, Jacob sneered at her. "If you don't agree to our terms, there's nothing more to talk about," he said in a cold tone, "I think I'd better go tell the truth to the Gu family. I believe that the Gu family will be very interested to know about what I have to say."

Then, he chuckled mockingly. "I think you are pathetic, Angelina. If the Gu family knew that you are not the daughter of the Gu family, that you've lied to them for so long, that you wasted their time when they could have been looking for their real daughter instead..." Jacob paused to look straight at Angelina, his brows

onship with most of them since she started working there. Therefore, they were just a little displeased with her sudden disappearance, but didn't really hate her for it.

They even wondered whether there was something urgent that happened to Angelina that made her leave without even telling her own brother.

In the car, Angelina heard Jeremy's voice and thought of what the Li family had just said to her. A shiver went up her spine as her daunting fear haunted her.

It was difficult for her to come up with an explanation, an alibi. What should she say to Jeremy? Where was she the whole afternoon?

Angelina was scared out of her wits.

She was afraid that Jeremy might find out something from her reaction.

"Never mind," Jeremy finally said when Angelina didn't say anything. "I'm just happy to hear that you're okay. Call me if you need anything okay?"Still, Angelina couldn't find herself to utter a single word. After a few seconds, Jeremy hung up the phone.

Angelina looked at the phone that already went off and thought of the gentle voice of Jeremy. For some reason, she couldn't help but blush.

The terrified look on her face disappeared.

Angelina shook her head to get rid of her thoughts about the Li family. Taking a deep breath in, she forced herself to calm down. Then she drove back to the Gu family villa.

So far, the Gu family had no idea that she was not one of them.

So she still had a chance now.

Even if she could not be the daughter of the Gu family, she could be...

Thinking of that man, Angelina smiled and felt a little better.

Jeremy would've never thought that his sister, whom he had spoiled for five years, would have such thoughts about him, thoughts that were taboo if they were in fact biological siblings. It just so happened that they weren't really related by blood.

At around seven o'clock in the evening...

Ashley was in a white evening dress. It was elegant, and exposed her fair and smooth shoulders. Under the warm, yellow light, she looked pure and angelic.

Her hair was pulled back into a soft, messy bun, strands of hair dangling over her slender neck and lovely collarbones.
