How about a hundred thousand? Once you transfer that sum into this card, I’ll promptly withdraw the Lawsuit.”
Millie retrieved a bank card and placed it upon the table.
The price plummeted from two hundred thousand to a mere hundred thousand in an instant. Nancy couldn’t help but acknowledge that Millie’s design held a valuation far beyond two hundred thousand, despite the absence of the physical product.
“Alright, it’s a deal. I’ll have Humphrey arrange the money transfer.
And don’t forget to furnish me with the craftsman’s contact details.”
Purchasing Millie’s work for a mere hundred thousand dollars seemed to be a prudent bargain. The legal fees alone exceeded this amount, not to mention the value of the squandered materials.
“Very well, I’ll take my leave for now. Once the funds are secured, I’ll promptly forward you the craftsman’s contact information.”

Things were unfolding precisely as Millie had orchestrated.
As she departed, Millie’s hand brushed against the concealed recorder pen nestled within her bag, a knowing smile playing upon her Lips.
After Millie’s departure, a sense of unease began to gnaw at Nancy.
Just as she was grappling with her thoughts, a call from Humphrey pierced the air.
“Care for dinner? I’m passing by your office.”
“On my way out.”
Stepping out, Nancy immediately recounted the deal with Millie to Humphrey .
Upon hearing this, Humphrey’s expression underwent a sudden and drastic transformation.
Nervousness gripped Nancy.
“What’s the matter? Do you think it’s a trap?” she asked, her concern evident.
Humphrey narrowed his eyes.
“You’ve been deceived. Her intention isn’t to sell the work; she’s gathering evidence. If you purchase Swan Kiss, it’s an admission that it’s her creation. And I suspect she might have recorded your conversation. We need to locate her without delay and retrieve the recorder pen,” he explained urgently.
Casting his gaze around, Humphrey spotted Millie crossing an intersection.
Observing the scene, Humphrey’s assistant swiftly inquired, “Mr. Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
Morgan, is everything alright?”
“Quickly, let’s follow her!” Humphrey urged, a sense of urgency driving his command.
Millie intended to dispatch the recorder to the lawyer, who was still present in the courtroom.
