Chapter 91: Hurt Ivan
Sephina answered the call, her expression tense as both Clara and Briena watched her with bated breath.
"Who is he?" Sephina asked sharply. She listened intently, but as the person on the other end spoke, her brows furrowed in frustration. After a brief pause, she angrily hung up.
"Is he someone we know?" Clara asked, her voice full of curiosity.
"No," Sephina furrowed her brows. "We still don’t know who he is. The money was transferred from an international account, and it’s highly secured. No one can get any information about it."
"What?" Clara exclaimed, her face a mixture of shock and disbelief.
Sephina nodded grimly. "Only the wealthiest and most powerful people or organizations use accounts with that level of security. There are very few of them, worldwide."
"That means this man is truly powerful," Clara gasped, wide-eyed. "No wonder he jumped from one billion to two billion like it was pocket change."
Sephina hummed in agreement, her mind racing. "I’m just wondering how that wretch managed to get involved with such a man. What could have caught his interest in her?"
"Mother, if Natalie knew someone that powerful, why would she marry a poor man and struggle under us?" Clara confidently dismissed the possibility. "I think this man showing up and bidding on her was just a coincidence. Maybe he’s one of those rich men who enjoys the thrill of scandalous women. Some of them have twisted minds. Who knows, he might bring more trouble into her life than help. After all, we can’t deny she’s beautiful, just like her mother was—easily able to seduce men with a single glance."
But Sephina wasn’t so quick to agree, her thoughts drifting elsewhere as she spoke. "Jay couldn’t find anything about her husband. Have you asked for your brother’s help. His high position in government allows him to get any information."
"Yes, mother. tomorrow we will get it."
