BXBX NOVEL Chapter 32 - 32: The Truth from Five Years Ago
Enna Clark doubted her own ears and asked back incredulously, “How much did you say?”
“6… 90 thousand…” Michelle Lewis felt guilty herself, but then she thought she was Enna’s only aunt, so she regained her confidence, “Enna, do you have any money on you? Give me tens of thousands for now to tide things over.”
Enna Clark suddenly shook off her hand, extremely furious, “Didn’t I give you 750 thousand before I went abroad? Just five years, and you’ve spent it all already?”
Five years ago, her grandpa suddenly fell seriously ill with a heart disease while lying in the Intensive Care Unit and urgently needed 450 thousand for heart bypass surgery.
At 18, she had no choice but to go on a yacht filled with rich people. By sheer coincidence, she had a relationship with Baron Lawrence. Later, she stayed with him, intending to ask him for a loan to save her grandpa when he was in a good mood. But soon after, she found out she was pregnant. It was then that a
woman claiming to be Baron Lawrence’s mother appeared, offering her money to leave.
With her grandpa in the Intensive Care Unit on one side and a possibly illegitimate child on the other, she gritted her teeth, took the money, and left.
But she didn’t expect that in just five years, the life-saving money she got for the first time would be squandered by them.
How could Enna not be furious?!
“You can’t say that, Enna.” Mentioning that 750 thousand, Michelle Lewis was quite resentful. She raised her neck and clamored, “You did give us 750 thousand, but it wasn’t for us to spend. You know very well that your grandpa’s heart surgery alone cost 450 thousand, and the remaining 300 thousand was spent on hospitalization fees and medical expenses, leaving almost nothing. Over the years, didn’t your grandpa need money to buy medicine? Do you know how expensive his medicine was? Each time we bought medicine, it cost 300 to 400, and no matter how much money we had, it couldn’t withstand this kind of use. If it weren’t for this, would your uncle and I have gone into business? If we didn’t start a business, we wouldn’t have owed so much debt.”
“Even the most expensive medicine for grandpa wouldn’t have used up that 300 thousand!” Enna Clark said decisively, “You guys don’t blame it on grandpa if you have far-fetched dreams.”
Michelle Lewis’s neck stiffened, and the remaining words were choked back.
How did this girl become so shrewd after going abroad for a few years? Wasn’t she clueless before? She obediently handed over the remaining 300 thousand for her grandpa’s medicine when asked to save it for his treatment.
Seeing that she couldn’t be tough, Michelle Lewis changed her plan.
“Enna.” Regardless of Enna’s constant retreat, she pounced on her, grabbed her hand, and knelt on the ground, “Enna, are you really not going to help me? I’m your only aunt, your mom’s only sister.”
“…I don’t have money.” Enna felt somewhat powerless.
She really didn’t have any money.
If it was 9 thousand, she could still try to find a way. But 90 thousand, where was she going to find it?
“How could you not have money? Didn’t you take out 750 thousand before? If you could do it before, you can definitely do it now.” Michelle Lewis was certain, not even considering how that 750 thousand came about and how difficult the process was. She only knew that her cheap niece had a way to get money for her to use. “Enna, go find the kind person who gave you the 750 thousand before. With the past friendship, he will surely be willing to help you.”
Wasn’t this indirectly asking her to sleep with Baron Lawrence again?
Enna Clark laughed at her shameless words, shook off her hand, “I don’t have such great ability, and we have no connection.. Let go!”
