Becoming Alpha’s Personal Caretaker
Chapter 50

Lauren POV

"Lauren..." Mila tugged my shirt awkwardly. As my best friend, she knew almost everything about me and it was barely possible for me to get five million dollars since things between me and the Blanco family weren't good.

"Trust me, it's fine." I wasn't here only to get Mila out of trouble. I knew how greedy Cayce was and he would do anything to get those five million dollars. It was best for us to cut him loose and I could tell that Lola and Janice had something to do with the rumor of Mila's one-night stand with that aristocrat.

"Okay," Cayce raised his hand and said.

I dialed a number but the person I called turned down the phone, which made me a bit anxious.

Seeing that, Cayce laughed hysterically at me and thought he was right about me, "Lauren, you think you're still the noble lady you used to be? Now that alpha Manuel has disowned you, you're nothing but a pathetic dummy who got banished from your tribe. You seemed very confident when you said you could pay me the money. I almost believed you!"

"You're no different than...an evicted rogue, am I right?"

Mila was pissed off by his ridicule. She rolled up her sleeves and wanted to punch his stupid fat-a*s face and I hastily stopped her. I knew what these hypocrites who only cared about profits were like and I had heard worse. His vicious words didn't affect me at all. But my silence only got him cockier, "What? Am I wrong, Miss Blanco?"

I took a deep breath and glanced at him frigidly. I put on a long face and dialed that number again and this time that person picked up the phone quickly, "Lauren?"

The deep voice from the other end of the line comforted me a lot at this moment and I said, "Can you lend me five million dollars? I really need it right now." Somehow I was sure that he would say yes to me.

But Cayce just stared at me with nothing but ridicule and contempt in his eyes and he was certain that I would get turned down. Because to him, I lost everything and was nothing but a spoiled little princess who had nothing to offer.

"Okay," Victor didn't waste any time on chitchat and said yes. He didn't even ask me what the money was for while Cayce was still mocking me, "It's five million, not five hundred bucks. Exactly five million dollars, Miss Lauren." I heard Victor chuckle from the other end of the line.

Through the phone, I could sense the coldness in that laugh and he said, "Tell him, I'll give him exactly five million dollars."

Huh?

Knowing how snarky and annoying Victor could get, I got something else from that tone.

After hanging up the phone, I made Mila sit down with me and even started enjoying a cup of black tea in front of him. Maybe it was because Victor had got my back, I knew he would keep his promise and wouldn't let me down.

But Cayce didn't buy it. He thought I was just bluffing when I made that call and he said, "Miss Lauren, getting someone to put on a show with you doesn't mean anything."

"What makes you think that I don't have that kind of money?" I looked up at Cayce wryly.

Cayce snorted, "Miss Lauren, you're just an empty shell and you're nothing without your title. Janice is alpha Manuel's favorite daughter and she's engaged to Michael now. Even though you despise her for her background, that doesn't mean anything. She has everything that the real Miss Blanco should have and I assume that five million dollars is not a big deal for her. But it's too much for you. No one gives a crap about you now."

"What a coincidence. I don't give a crap about all this too." I didn't care about his sarcasm and as a businessman who only cared about profits, he was telling the truth. They were just mocking a poor person and they didn't care whether someone was a mistress or a lovechild. This kind of thing wasn't so rare anymore.

"But I'm curious about what you're gonna get from this. Did Lola and Janice promise to reward you for doing this?"

Cayce squinted his eyes and didn't answer that question directly. He just said, "I don't care about this war between you guys and all I care about is whether the projects I invested in would be harmed or not. It looks like you can't afford the default. Please leave, Miss. Lauren. I'll discuss the matter of the hospital with Miss Mila."

"So they did promise you something," I said, "but don't forget, I'm the only heir to the Lunarko Tribe."

"Who knows what's gonna happen next? After all, alpha Manuel is at the prime of his life." He was indicating that Manuel might give Janice everything that belonged to me anytime he wanted.

"Alright, Miss Lauren. If you can't pay me the money, stop pretending and disturbing me when I'm working here," Cayce took a sip of his tea and said impatiently, "please leave. For old times' sake, I won't send the security in."

He was being quite blunt right now.

"But Miss Mila can't go now. You either give up your position at the hospital or pay me the money."

"This isn't fair! You're trying to take advantage of me!" Mila said angrily.

Cayce didn't give a damn about what she said and spoke, "Please, Miss Lauren, don't make yourself look bad. But if you refuse to leave...."

He pushed a button in his hand.

The next second, a bunch of people with unfamiliar faces came in instead of Cayce's security guards. Obviously, they were all well-trained bodyguards and they were standing in a line. Cayce and his assistant looked each other in the eye and before they could tell what was going on here, they saw more of these bodyguards coming in with bags of some heavy stuff.

"Who are you?" Cayce panicked because these people could just walk into his company so easily.

But they ignore him and their leader walked up to me, "Miss Lauren, we've brought the money you asked for."

What was Victor planning to do?

Cayce was so shocked that his face distorted a little, "You did this? Lauren?"

The leading bodyguard said to me with respect, "Alpha said that it's exactly five million dollars, not a penny less." Something absurd crossed my mind.

The next moment, the bodyguards proved me right.

The leading bodyguard gave them an order and the others started pouring coins out of those money bags into Cayce's office. The noises of coins pouring down sounded like drums and it lasted for a long time as the bags were getting emptied one by one. Cayce's face turned paler and wanted to curse. But seeing how intimidating those bodyguards were, he had to hold back his anger and his face kept getting redder.

Five million coins were being poured into this room. What a magnificent scene...

Victor was so good at getting back at people and making them mad. Even though I was pissed off by how shameless Cayce could get, seeing him mad like this really made me feel so much better.

I picked up the contract and chuckled, "Well then, Mr. Cayce, starting now, the contract has become invalid."
