AChapter 669
“I don’t see any benefits. Regardless of whether I succeed or fail, it will be a crime,”
Michelle replied calmly, watching Cynthia and the others gradually leave her sight.
The other person remained silent.
Michelle continued, “You should know the Yates family’s connections. I can’t afford to
provoke them.”
Michelle was not naive. She had not spent the past two years in the Yates family for
nothing. Besides their high standing in the business world, their network of connections
was even more formidable. Not to mention the families like the Cyrus family, who had
good relations with the Yates family. Even considering Cynthia’s personal abilities, Michelle
did not dare to mess with her.
Cynthia was not someone easy to bully.
The person on the other side spoke again, “Don’t you know my background? No matter

her. Even wealthy people can’t do anything in the face of real power.”
Michelle hesitated. The background of the Tanz family was indeed special.
The person on the other end made a promise, speaking in an unhurried tone, “As long as
we work together, I can assure you that you’ll be safe after you help me get rid of Cynthia.
Didn’t you and your mom’s status change because of Cynthia’s return?”
Michelle’s hand holding the phone tightened.
After a long while, Michelle finally asked, “Can you really ensure my safety?”
“Yes. The Tanz family’s reputation alone should tell you everything,” the other person
promised.
“I’ll consider it.” Michelle hesitated.
Jonathan had already been good to her and her mother, but her father was about to be
released from prison, and once they lost their protection, he would surely come to cause
trouble for her.
Even though Michelle’s parents were divorced and her father had no reason to find her,
she was already an adult… If he asked for financial support from her, Michelle would not
be able to reject him.
“I’ll give you half a month to think it over. If you agree to cooperate, don’t choose to take
action when Matthew is around.” Samantha, who was currently abroad, hated Cynthia to
her care, and she knew Matthew could help Cynthia deal with any sudden danger. She
could only drag Cynthia down with her since she had been pushed to this point.
Michelle did not answer and hung up the phone.
On her way back home, she felt somewhat lost.
Mandy noticed Michelle was not in a good state and asked, “What’s wrong?”

“Michelle.”
Michelle stopped in her tracks, feeling the emptiness of the large villa. Then, she looked
around and asked, “Mom, if there was an opportunity for you to have the backing of the
Tanz family, but it came at a great cost, would you agree?”
“The Tanzfamily?
“Yes.’
“The formidable Tanz family?” Mandy seemed to see hope.
“Yes.” Michelle’s emotions had undergone a tremendous change during this time. “As long
as we help then kill someone, they will protect us for a lifetime, and there won’t be any
criminal record; they will take care of it.”
“Who?” Mandy asked..
Michelle’s grip tightened, her voice slightly hoa rse as she said, “Cynthia ”
“Why not? If it weren’t for Cynthia, I would have married into the Yates family by now, and
you would be the heir of the Yates Group too ” Mandy had lost her usual composure; just
hearing Cynthia’s name made her think of the lost game,
