No longer a pushover (Noelle and Cedric) novel Chapter 1379

Donovan gasped in disbelief. "Tens of trillions?"

He could not help but admit that Ivy was a daringly greedy person. He then turned to Cedric and continued, "You guys can stop acting tough. Even if you're willing to hand over tens of trillions of dollars, the rest of your family couldn't possibly agree to it."

Blake also felt that it was unrealistic.

Frank looked at Anastasia and said, "I'm honored that you think so highly of Noelle, Mrs. Greene Senior, but I don't think this will work. There's no reason to give the thugs such a huge amount of money."

Alfred rubbed his temples and said, "That's exactly why we need to come up with a plan! Whoever is on the other side only wants money; it's not that complicated."

However, there was no compelling reason to hand over tens of trillions of dollars without justification, and giving up the frozen, fraudulent money was also out of the question.

Carl added, "That's why I said that you should've never bothered meddling in Ivy's plan to begin with. Wouldn't it be better to just pretend that the money was never recovered?"

Donovan nodded in agreement. "Exactly. How will Noelle be able to live a comfortable life if you, Greenes, actually fork out the money? Might as well let them have Ivy's money. No one knows anything about it anyway."

Money lost to scams was rarely ever recovered. Even if it could not be recovered, the victims of the scams would have never suspected so much to be happening behind the scenes.

Mia looked at the Liddells and said, "We've actually known about Ivy's identity for a while now. The reason we waited until now to take action was that we wanted to get the scammed money back to the public. If we just hand the money over to the scammers now, everything we've worked for would have been in vain."

Carl looked over to Mia and replied, "Desperate times call for desperate measures. Noelle's safety is more important."

Donovan looked over to Mia as well and added, "Exactly, it's just money. You're Noelle's best friend, aren't you? How can you care more about the money than saving her?"

Mia replied, "That's not what I meant. I know that Noelle would agree with me."

Blake joined in as well. "We don't have any other options left at this point. They want money; then we'll give it to them. It's not like we're short on cash ourselves."
