For the first time today, my gaze fell on the two duffel bags in the corner of the room, which were both unzipped and had bricks of hundred-dollar bills spilling out of them. My eyes widened, and I rushed over to them, picking up the cash.
There must’ve been over a million dollars here.
“What did you do?” I asked, glancing over my shoulder. “How do you have this much cash?”
João stalked over to us, grabbed my upper arm, and yanked me up. “Stay out of our fucking business, Imani.” He snatched the cash from me and threw it back into the duffel bag. “You don’t need to know what we do for our money.”
“This is Jace’s money,” I said.
The other kids at Redwood might’ve been rich, but not as rich as Jace Harbor’s father. They didn’t have money coming out of the ass like he did. He probably had so much cash that he wouldn’t even notice a million or more stolen by his son.
“Go back home,” João said. “And stay there. We’ll be too busy tonight to deal with you.”
“To deal with me?” I asked, brow arched.
“To deal with your dramatic fucking ass,” João said.
I yanked myself out of his grip and shoved him back hard. “Fuck you. I hate you.”
Then, I stomped back up the stairs and to the basement door without saying good-bye to either of the others. I slammed the door closed and pulled out my phone. I wasn’t going to sit out and stay away like they wanted me to do. I would figure out what they were doing with Jace tonight.
“Hey,” I said over the phone. “Wanna hang out tonight? I’m going spying.”
“What about Allie?”
“God, Akio, you asked me to hang out with you more. Allie can’t come, anyway.”
He let out a long sigh over the phone. “Fine.”
“Good. I’ll pick you up at six. Make sure you’re ready.”
