Chapter 33 - 33: The Background of Enna Clark
Seeing that Michelle Lewis really didn’t care about herself anymore, Enna tightly held her hand, sniffling and crying, “Enna, even if you don’t care about your grandpa, think about your late mother. You can’t ignore me. If you don’t help your aunt and me, we’ll have nowhere to turn.”
“Why do I have such bad luck? If my sister were alive, she definitely wouldn’t abandon her only younger sister like this. In the old days, we went to school together, we…”
Enna had heard this speech so many times that she was numb to it, just waiting for Michelle Lewis to finish wailing.
“If your mom hadn’t met that irresponsible man Jacob Clark and been deceived by him into carrying you, she might still be alive and well today.” Michelle Lewis suddenly thought of something as she was wailing, raised her head, and looked at Enna with hope. “That’s right, Jacob Clark! Enna, you can still go to Jacob Clark! Your dad is so rich; he’ll definitely give you 90 thousand if you just ask!”
“I’m not going!” Enna refused without thinking.
She had long severed ties with the Clark Family and couldn’t possibly go back.
Besides, that man wasn’t just her dad but was also Jasmine Clark and Brett Clark’s father — and Juliet Jordan’s husband. What was Enna? Just an illegitimate daughter born from a ‘mistress’ who was neither needed nor wanted.
It was already Juliet Jordan’s limit to tolerate her staying in the Clark Family for 18 years; how could she bear to let her ask Jacob for money again?
Enna didn’t want to ask either.
“Enna, are you really so cruel that you won’t even help me?”
“You are so cold-hearted. I am your only blood-related aunt. If something happens to me, you won’t have any relatives left – who in the Clark family cares
about you? Only I would put you in my heart. Enna, even if it’s just for your sister, help me. I’m begging you.”
Enna let her wail and cry, but she did not relent.
She was not stupid or naive, nor was she a self-sacrificing pushover.
She could barely protect herself now, let alone help Michelle Lewis. Moreover, she had long realized that Michelle Lewis saw her as a cash cow. Even if Enna did have the 90 thousand, she wouldn’t give it—who knew if in a few days, Michelle would be back, asking for another 90 thousand to save her life?
The brat! A flash of resentment crossed Michelle Lewis’s eyes as Enna remained unmoved. She had no choice but to use her trump card.
She let go of Enna’s hand, slowly got up from the ground, wiped away her tears, and said, “Enna, if you won’t help me, I’ll have no choice but to use your grandpa’s medicine money.”
“What did you say?” Enna didn’t expect her to be so shameless and glared at her furiously.
While Michelle Lewis pretended to wipe her tears, she said, “I have no choice, Enna. Your grandpa only has your mom and me, his two daughters. Your mom died giving birth to you, and if I’m killed by the high-interest loans, what will happen to him at his old age? For your grandpa’s sake, I have no choice but to use some of the money set aside for his medication…” Enna knew Michelle Lewis was doing it on purpose!
She knew Michelle Lewis was threatening her!
But she clenched her teeth, balled her fists, and stared at her, finally relenting. “I’ll go to my dad.”
Before Michelle Lewis could rejoice, Enna quickly added, “This is the last time.”
Michelle Lewis didn’t take it to heart, and with a smile plastered on her face, she casually replied, “I know. Don’t worry, Enna. This time it’s an accident.”
Seeing her joyful face, Enna furrowed her brows and reminded her, “Don’t be too sure about this. I’m not certain my dad will lend me the 90 thousand…’
Before Enna could finish her sentence, Michelle Lewis interrupted her loudly, “Of course he’ll give it to you! You’re his own flesh and blood.. If you ask him, he can’t possibly turn you away!”
