I Spy With My Secret Eyes

Chapter 203

Yancy’s words scared Diego and Derek out of their wits. Their faces turned pale, and they shuddered uncontrollably as they stared at Yancy. They could not even say a word.

The atmosphere in the living room of the spacious presidential suite instantly turned eerie, making people feel a chill.

Although Yancy looked like a girl of eight or nine, even her biological parents, Frederick and Lillian, broke out in a cold sweat from fear at her expression, gaze, and fierce teeth-gnashing look.

They mused, “What kind of monster is this?”

Oliver also felt creeped out and terrified. He pondered, “Yancy is not acting nor cooperating with her parents to fool me. However, the

situation now is outrageous. Could it be that it really has something to do with Diego and Derek’s mother?

“Diego, come with me for a moment.” After thinking for a while, Oliver beckoned to Diego.

Yancy would not let go of Diego. It was not until Oliver asked Derek to accompany her that she released her hands from Diego.

In the room next door, when Oliver was alone with Diego, he lowered his voice and asked, “Diego, what do you think is going on?”

Diego was in a daze with a pale face. Oliver asked him again, and only then did he return to his senses and reply in a trembling voice, “M-Mr. Eastwood, this… is terrifying. What she said just now was not

known by anyone other than us. My mom… My mom would never tell such private matters to others, either. H-How did she know it?”

As he said that, Diego whispered to Oliver in horror, “Mr. Eastwood, was… was she truly possessed by my mother?”

Oliver did not know what to say. After pondering for a while, he stared at Diego and asked, “What are you planning to do?”

Diego looked horrified and said, “I have no idea. It’s so scary. I-I think we’ll return to our hometown. We can’t possibly take the little girl home with us, right?”

After saying that, Diego hurriedly added, “We won’t ask you for money anymore. We don’t want any of it. We only want to go back!” Upon hearing that, Oliver verified and ruled out the possibility of them

setting up a trap to cheat him. He said inwardly, ‘If it was a scam, what’s the point of cheating me without asking me for money? But how do we solve this situation?

Especially Yancy, who is only nearly nine years old, would she be confined to her room for the rest of her life?’

Oliver hesitated for a while before saying, “Diego, you’ve seen what happened to Yancy, and we have yet to find out the cause. I wish you guys could stay here temporarily to see if we can find out the cause, but I won’t force you. If you insist on going back, I’ll immediately book tickets for you and pay you another 20,000 dollars. If you stay to cooperate with us in finding the specific cause of her illness, no matter what the result is, it’ll be one month at most. After one month, I’ll still let you go back, and I’ll pay you another 100 thousand dollars even if no results are out. How about that?”

Diego was tempted by Oliver’s offer when he heard it. “100 thousand dollars? A month?”

Oliver had already paid them 20,000 dollars. If they stayed for another month, he would pay them another 100 thousand dollars, making a total of 120 thousand dollars. Two of them would each have half, which is 60,000 dollars.

Diego thought, “That’s as much as 60,000 dollars. I don’t think we can earn it for the rest of our lives. This amount of money is certainly enough to build a beautiful house in our hometown and marry a wife. Should we stay?”

Diego pondered for a while and decided to stay.

Although the girl’s situation was frightening, no matter how scary she was, she could not be compared with 100 thousand dollars. He could not find any reason to reject, since they only needed to stay in the hotel and enjoy themselves without doing anything.

“I-I’ll stay for a month.” Diego nodded in agreement after pondering for a while. However, he still asked Oliver, “Mr. Eastwood, we only have to stay here for a month, and you’ll let us go regardless of the outcome, right?”

Oliver nodded affirmatively. “Yes, and that’s within the condition when we can’t get a result. But if we figure out the cause beforehand, I’ll let you leave in advance. And I’ll still pay you 100 thousand dollars. If it’s the contrary, the longest allotted time is only one month. When it meets the time, I’ll buy plane tickets to send you back.”

Diego hesitated and glanced at Oliver again before asking him cautiously, “M-Mr. Eastwood, it’s not like we don’t trust you, but 100 thousand dollars is enormous. By… By then…”

Oliver waved his hand briskly and replied, “I know you’re worried. How about this? I’ll pay you 34,000 dollars every ten days based on a month. Now, I’ll transfer 34,000 dollars to you in advance. Then, I’ll transfer the same amount to you again by the 20th day. On the 30th day, I’ll transfer the final balance to you. If things are settled beforehand, I’ll pay the total to you. Furthermore, all your food and accommodation expenses here will be on me.”

Diego grinned instantly and nodded before saying, “There will be no problem then.”

Oliver kept his word and immediately transferred 34,000 dollars to Diego’s bank account.

Diego stopped worrying after knowing Oliver’s generosity. However, when he thought of Yancy, his worries and fear showed up on his face again. He looked around and whispered to Oliver, “Mr. Eastwood, w-what should we do with Yancy? My brother and I can cooperate with you, but we have no idea what to do. M-Moreover, I truly think she’s… my Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

mom-”

“I’m sure she isn’t!” Oliver interrupted him decisively before he could finish his words. “There must be some reason, but we have yet to discover it.”

Diego only nodded and replied, “I hope so, too. It’s better that way! It’s too scary!”

In truth, Diego also did not want to be in that situation, but he did not know what to do.

He said inwardly, “Could it be that I have to bring Yancy back with me? Even if I’m willing to take her back, Mr. Eastwood will never consent. Besides, if I truly take the little girl back to be my mother, Oliver will be humiliated. Better yet, as he said, we figure it out for ourselves, and at the same time, we can also make a large amount of money. It’s a win-win situation.”

Anyway, Diego had already received 56,000 dollars in his bank account. After deducting more than 400 dollars for the plane tickets, there was a net surplus of around 55,500 dollars. Even if Oliver did not pay him any money afterward, he still made around 50,000 dollars for nothing. So he would not suffer any loss.

Diego believed that the young man, Oliver, would not default on his payment, so he would receive the balance of more than 60,000 dollars as promised.

For some reason, Diego could not help but feel that Yancy was his mother through her gaze, expression, tone, and accent. All of those were exactly the same as Diego’s mother. He wondered how an eight-year-old girl could learn such an accent.
