âI knew itâd cost money, but I didnât realize it would cost this much. The money probably adds up to several million dollars. Besides, you didnât give me any money except for the tuition fees after I got into university. I even earned my allowance by working part-time,â said Valda Theller.
âYouâre bringing up old scores, arenât you? Alright, if I had known, I wouldnât have adopted you. It wouldâve been best if you had stayed at a welfare home,â Ferris snapped.
Rowena Santiago quickly comforted Zhong Qisha, while Wynne said to Valda Theller, âValda Theller, youâre too stingy. Since you donât want to pay to save my father, whoâs your own uncle, what else is there to talk about? Letâs pretend youâre not a member of our family!â
âDid you bring me back today because of Uncleâs illness or money?â Valda Theller asked coldly.
âItâs for his illness, of course, but the treatment costs money!â
Rowena Santiago said.
âIf itâs for medical reasons, give me Uncleâs medical records and examination report. Iâll make a copy-â
However, she was interrupted before she could finish speaking.
âWhat examination report? You can either pay up or leave!â Ferris snapped.
Valda Theller looked at her uncleâs angry appearance and knew what was up.
His illness might not be real, but the family definitely wanted to ask her for money.
Valda Theller said no more and turned to leave. She had given up on her uncle.
Once Valda Theller left, Rowena Santiagoâs face darkened. She said, âI told you the girl wouldnât give us money easily.â
âSince she refused, donât blame us for using public opinion to force her.â Ferris sighed. âAnyway, Iâve given her a chance. I donât owe my brother anything now.â
Some people kept themselves on the moral high ground even when plotting a scheme.
Valda Theller took a taxi, but she gave the address of Brianâs mansion instead of her home.
She was surprised when she blurted out the address.
It was as if her bodyâs instinct was telling her that she wanted to see him!
When she reached the mansionâs entrance, she saw that the mansion was dark. It was clear that no one was at home.
âIs he not home yet?â Disappointed, she leaned against the mansionâs iron gate and pulled her phone out of her bag to contact him. However, she found that her battery was dead.
The night breeze blew against her body. She felt a little cold.
Valda Theller squatted at the entrance to Brianâs mansion and waitedâ¦
She did not even know how long she had been waiting, but she finally saw a familiar car approaching.
A tall figure quickly stepped out of it.
âWhat are you doing here? Why didnât you call me?â Brian asked as he grabbed Valda Thellerâs hands and frowned.
Her hands were icy.
âI just suddenly wanted to meet you, so I came to see you. But I realized my phone died when I got here,â replied Valda Theller.
âHow long have you been waiting here?â he asked again.
âI donât know.â She shook her head. âMaybe just for a while.â
He pressed his thin lips slightly. âLetâs go in first.â
