Chapter 176 Family Debt and Framing Donny had never deeply involved himself in the family business but chose to become a university professor instead. He rarely showed up at home on usual days.
Charlotte and Donny rarely interacted. However, Charlotte remembered that when she was forced to marry Joe, Donny was furious at home for her sake. He even had a big argument with Levi, and they parted on bad terms.
After that, her relationship with Joe gradually faded, reducing her chances of seeing Donny.
Upon meeting Donny again, Charlotte noticed a hint of guilt on his face. âMia, oh, sorry, Miss Clinton, I was unaware that the startup capital for the family came from your motherâs inheritance. I am truly sorry.â
Donny looked at Charlotte sincerely, âI am now aware of the debt issues between our family and you.
Iâll do everything I can to repay the money as soon as possible, please rest assured.â
Charlotte was surprised at Donnyâs appearance, but she wasnât too taken aback by his words. She glanced at Donny and asked indifferently, âThe past is the past, and thereâs no use talking about it anymore. Are your parents aware of your visit today?â
It sounded like the kind of question one might be asked when visiting a friendâs house.
Taken aback, Donny replied with a reluctant smile, âThey donât know about it, but I will try my best to persuade them to repay you.â
Both Levi and Diana were not easy to deal with. Charlotte didnât say much, just nodding, âYouâve worked hard.â
Donny shook his head, remaining silent.
Just as Charlotte and Donny mel, an unexpected figure also entered the jail.
âYou finally came!â
Stacy, also known as Mrs. Vega, felt bored at first and then suddenly felt elated. She almost ran to the visitation room.
Upon hearing Mrs. Vegaâs loud voice, Wendy had a flash of disdain in her eyes, âI clearly assigned you the task of dealing with Charlotte. How did you end up getting yourself into prison?â
Thinking of the news she had heard, Wendy wanted to slap Stacy.
It was Mrs. Vega who confidently said she could handle Charlotte, but now she ended up in prison!
âI just wanted to earn some more money. Anyway, sheâs going to be ruined. What does it matter if Iâm in jail?â Stacy didnât think she had done anything wrong, glaring at Wendy, âIf you hadnât stopped sending me money recently, why would I take such a risk?â
Stacy even dared to counter-question Wendy!
Wendy was furious, pointing at Stacy and scolding, âHavenât I given you enough money recently? Do you think my money just comes out of nowhere? Youâre so incompetent! Donât think I donât know youâre trying to benefit from both sides!â
At this point, Stacy didnât want to hide anymore. She said helplessly, âSo what? Do you want to see me in jail? Hurry up and find a way to get me out!â
Wendy laughed in frustration, âDo you think I own the police station? Do you think if I say to let you out, then you can leave? Moreover, your bidding document has not only offended Charlotte but also Joe! If he finds out about our relationship, Iâll be in big trouble too!â
Stacy, who was originally quite composed, suddenly changed her demeanor.
She sat up nervously, staring intently at Charlotte, âWhat should I do? I donât want to go to jail!â
âI canât help you either,â Seeing Stacy like this, Wendy felt a bit of her anger dissipate.
However, Stacy threatened fiercely, âDonât think I donât know you want to get rid of me, a burden. Iâll tell you, if I go to jail, I canât guarantee what I might reveal.
