Chapter 188 What Do You Think I Am?
Sarah caught Kelly’s hidden meaning right away.
Was she trying to squeeze more money out of this opportunity?
Taking a deep breath, Sarah forced her voice to remain steady. “Kelly, we’re friends, aren’t we? You should be on my side right
now.”
“Of course, I’m on your side. If I weren’t, I would’ve turned back already, especially since Jennifer offered to double the price.”
Sarah gritted her teeth. “Fine, I’ll double the price too. When can you get here?”
“No rush. Something just came up that I need to take care of. Why don’t you transfer the money to my account first, and I’ll bring it over once I’m done?”
Sarah’s heart sank as she heard those words.
“Kelly, what are you playing at? We agreed that I’d pay you and you’d bring me the recorder. How can you go back on your word
now?”
“I’m not going back on anything. I just can’t come right away because something came up. But if you’re going to put it that

way, you’re hurting my feelings. Maybe I should just return the recorder to Jennifer instead. That way, she can’t accuse me of stealing it, and I won’t have to deal with any consequences.”
Kelly’s lips curved into a slight smirk. Now Sarah was the one begging her.
Sarah quickly tried to smooth things over. “That’s not what I meant. I just really need that thing urgently. When exactly can
you come?”
“Transfer the money first, then we’ll talk.”
Sarah felt annoyed. What a bitch.
Sarah quickly sent the money over. “I’ve just transferred the money to you. You’re coming now, right?”
“Yeah, I’m on my way.”
After hanging up, Kelly checked her bank account notification. “Well, well, it looks like Sarah really values this voice recorder,” she scoffed.
Given how stingy Sarah usually was, it was surprising she’d transfer the money before Kelly even showed up.
Kelly thought for a moment and changed her mind, deciding not to go to the meeting spot.
If the evidence on this voice recorder was enough to threaten Sarah, why should she hand it over?

It was better to keep it herself. She could use it to blackmail Sarah in the future.
She could even use it against Jennifer too. It was a win–win situation for her.

Sarah had always been the one bossing her around. Now, it was her turn to get some payback.
Sarah waited and waited, but Kelly never showed up. Furious, she called Kelly repeatedly, but no one picked up.
“Damn that bitch!
How dare she take my money and play me like this?”
Meanwhile, Jennifer had tried to contact Kelly but received no
response.
She was furious. How dare Kelly steal her voice recorder!
A coworker looked at Jennifer and suggested, “Maybe we should call the police. The security cameras in our studio have been broken for a while and never got fixed.”
“Yeah, without evidence, going to the police might be our only option. Maybe just the threat of police involvement will scare Kelly into returning it.”
Jennifer shook her head, knowing the recorder was probably already in Sarah’s hands.

She wasn’t about to let this
go
without consequences.
Just then, Jennifer’s phone rang. It was Timothy calling.
She stepped aside to answer it. “Hello?”
“Where’s my mom?”
“She already left. Don’t bother coming over.”

Timothy detected something off in Jennifer’s tone and asked, “What did she say to you?”
“What do you think? She told me to quit my job and stay home to be your caretaker, basically your maid!”
As soon as the words left her mouth, Jennifer realized her tone had been too harsh.
Her tone softened. “But I didn’t contradict what she said. She probably doesn’t suspect anything right now. Don’t worry about that. I’ll keep our agreement.”
“Is that what you think I meant?”
Timothy was getting angry, too. If he really didn’t want Jennifer doing these things outside, would she even have had the chance?
Jennifer massaged her temples, “Whether that’s what you meant

or not, I’ve done what I needed to do. As for what the media. reported, I’ll try to avoid such incidents in the future.”
“Jennifer!”
5/5
Timothy’s anger was rising. “What kind of person do you think I am?”
Jennifer’s expression flickered. What kind of person could she think of him as?
Certainly not someone she could dare to hope for!
