Chapter 12 - Eleanor Tries To Bribe The Senior Estate Security Guard
Locked inside a cheap downtown motel room, Eleanor paced back and forth across the threadbare carpet with a frantic expression.
She pulled out a prepaid burner phone and dialed the private mobile number of Thomas, the senior estate security guard.
“Thomas, it’s Mrs. Sterling; I know you’re loyal to Julian, but I can make you a very wealthy man,” Eleanor whispered urgently.
“Mrs. Sterling, I advise you to hang up this phone right now before I report this call to federal authorities,” Thomas replied coldly.
“Listen to me! If you let me back into the mansion for just ten minutes to retrieve a flash drive, I’ll wire fifty thousand dollars—”
“Your access tokens are burned, your accounts are frozen, and your husband knows about every single crime you committed,” Thomas interrupted.
“You’ll regret throwing your lot in with Julian! He drops everyone when they become useless to him!” Eleanor shrieked into the receiver.

Thomas simply clicked the end call button, blocking her number permanently as he finished his coffee in the security lodge.
