"Then what should I do? He definitely won't give up!" After listening to Josie's words, Margot also understood that calling the police wouldn't do anything to Tony Wendis.

But as long as they haven't officially divorced, Tony Wendice probably won't let her go.

No, Margot immediately realized that given Tony Wendis's ruthlessness, even if she successfully divorced him, he would probably still desperately want to take revenge on her.

“It’s simple, the first to strike wins, the last to strike suffers…” Josie said quietly from the side.

"What?" Josie's words startled Margot.

Although the information Josie revealed made Margot both hate and fear her husband.

However, murder was still too far removed from this somewhat naive rich young woman's life; she had never even considered it.

But on second thought, it seems that this is indeed a very good solution.

It has to be said that everyone has a devil living inside them.

The key question is whether or not someone releases it.

“But… what should we do? And it’s illegal! Josie, we’re still young. If the police find out, it will ruin us.” Although she was tempted, as a normal law-abiding citizen, she still felt fear and aversion to such a serious illegal act as murder.

“Of course I understand that, darling, but I didn’t say we should do it ourselves. If he can buy the Mafia, so can we. Anyway, there are countless unsolved mysteries in America every year. As long as he disappears without a trace, no one will know what happened.” Josie hugged Margot’s perfect and alluring body and whispered in her ear like a devil.

Although he said he could bribe the Mafia, in his heart, Josie had already decided to do it himself.

Because compared to hiring someone to commit murder, it's obviously less likely for Josie, who has the cheat code of the interdimensional trading system, to leave clues and evidence if she does it herself.

In the United States, where the rules of evidence are the primary basis of law.

Without a body and a murder weapon, a complete chain of evidence cannot be formed.

Even if someone knows you killed someone, it will be very difficult to convict you if you don't admit it.

In fact, if it were before today, Josie certainly wouldn't have made the decision to commit murder so easily.

Clearly, the shot Josh fired today has opened Pandora's box in his heart.

Xia uses force to break the ban.

When a person possesses abilities beyond ordinary control, and once they cross their original bottom line, it becomes very difficult to get them back on track.

To not become one's ancestor is already a sign of having a conscience.

Josie is in a similar situation now.

“But…” Although Josie’s words touched Margot’s heart, it wasn’t so easy to make up her mind completely.

However, Josie didn't want to waste any more words and directly shut down any remaining words from the beautiful young woman.

Margot, who seemed mature, was no match for him at all.

Margot didn't even go home that night.

The next morning, Margot and Josie ate breakfast intimately, just like a newlywed couple.

"If we do it your way, how much do you think it would cost? And how should we contact trustworthy people to do this?" Margot asked Josie in a low voice.

Even heroes can't resist the charms of a beautiful woman, and often the reverse is also true.

Moreover, because women are often more emotional, once they get involved, it's harder for them to get out than for men.

This is the current situation for Margot.

This woman was very emotional; otherwise, she wouldn't have been so easily captivated by Tony Wendice back then, and wouldn't have married him despite her father's strong opposition.

In fact, if Tony Wendice hadn't gone too far over the years, the two of them wouldn't have ended up like this.

And now, Margot is completely intoxicated by the feeling of being with Josie.

Right now, all she wants is to be with Josie.

Thus, Tony Wendis became the most obstructive obstacle.

"As for the money, it won't cost too much, a few thousand dollars, at most ten thousand dollars. As for the people... whether it's immigrant communities or refugee camps, I believe there are many people willing to go. Just leave this to me." Josh took on the task without hesitation.

“…Okay, I’ll pay for it. I’ll go to the bank in a bit,” Margot nodded.

Josie did not refuse.

Margot provided the money, and he provided the labor; the two were in cahoots, and that's how they were truly bound together.

It's not fair to say that Josie has a dark side, but having such a shared, unknown secret makes their relationship much more stable than a purely emotional or physical one.

After having breakfast, the two went out together to head to the bank.

“Do you know what I’ve been thinking about?” Margot said, looking at Josie driving the car.

“What?” Josie asked.

“Bonnie and Clyde!” Margot exclaimed.

Upon hearing this, Josie couldn't help but twitch her lips.

Although the movie "Bonnie and Clyde" has not yet been released, it is based on a true story that took place during the Great Depression, just like the legendary thief John Dillinger, and is known to almost everyone in the United States.

There is even a mental illness specifically named after the two individuals.

However, this metaphor is really not very auspicious.

After all, this pair ended up being riddled with bullets.

Chapter 25 Shopping

"Here's fifty thousand dollars." Outside the bank, Margot, who had just come out, got into her car and stuffed a large brown paper bag into Josie's hand.

Upon hearing the number, Josie's hand trembled as she took the bag, almost dropping it.

Upon opening it, they found five stacks of 100-yuan bills inside.

"How come there's so much?" Josh asked, somewhat bewildered, holding the paper bag. Didn't he say that ten thousand or even a few thousand yuan would be enough?

And sister, you're really carefree, aren't you afraid of being robbed?

"Is it a lot? Just spend it as you see fit. Keep the rest for yourself. Men definitely have a lot of expenses when they're out, so it's not a bad thing to have some on you." Margot kissed Josie on the cheek and said affectionately.

Just that one sentence almost broke Josie's composure.

What a wonderful woman! Thinking of the women in later generations who always demand cars and houses, Josie was filled with emotion.

It's true what they say, being a kept man is really satisfying.

At this moment, Josie felt an immense sense of gratitude towards Tony Wendice.

If this guy hadn't caused trouble for himself, how could he have gotten such a good woman?

In return, Josie decided to make Tony Wendis die a painful death to vent Margot's anger.

Otherwise, he would feel guilty for betraying the deep affection of this pitiful beauty.

So Josie nodded, not refusing Margot's offer, and accepted the money.

Seeing this, Margot didn't think he was greedy at all. On the contrary, she was happy to think that Josie had completely accepted her, instead of insisting on giving her money for a place to stay, as before.

“Oh right, let’s go buy some clothes first. Your clothes are still a bit of poor quality and don’t match your handsome face. Hmm, you should also get some new dress shoes.” Margot said excitedly, linking arms with Josie.

“Okay, whatever you say!” Josie nodded. He didn’t really care about his clothes, but he really couldn’t say no to this sweet and lovely girl.

“But I don’t have any clothing vouchers left,” Josie said.

Just like sugar and gasoline, even in the United States during this period, you needed special clothing coupons to buy clothes and shoes.

Starting in 42, every federal citizen received 24 clothing vouchers per year to buy clothes and shoes.

It seems like a lot, but do you think it's just a clothing voucher that can buy a piece of clothing?

Not at all.

The actual standard is that buying a large coat costs 18 bills, a complete suit costs 26 bills, a pair of shoes costs 9 bills, slippers cost 5 bills, a petticoat (underwear dress) costs 3 bills, trousers cost 8 bills, a bra costs 3 bills, and so on...

In other words, 24 clothing vouchers are simply not enough for a person to buy a complete outfit from head to toe under normal circumstances.

Shoes, in particular, are subject to a real-name purchase system, with a limit of two pairs per person per year. If you want to buy more, you can only buy second-hand shoes.

While you can at least buy regular clothes with coupons, some items are simply unavailable.

What is it?

Stockings.

That's right, it's stockings.

One fact that might seem somewhat ironic to later generations is that during World War II, stockings were considered a key strategic resource, on par with sugar and gasoline.

why?

Because of the parachute.

Before the war, the main material for the US military's parachutes was not nylon, but silk from Asia.

However, after the war with Japan began, the supply of silk was cut off, and the parachute material was changed to nylon.

As a result, all nylon manufacturers, including DuPont, were forced by the federal government to stop manufacturing nylon byproducts such as stockings and instead produce military supplies such as parachutes needed by the military.

It was from this point that the price of stockings skyrocketed, reaching as high as $20 a pair.

But this is just the beginning.
