Chapter 987: Chapter 988

Chapter 988 Give Me My Allowance The security captain immediately nodded. “Understood, Director Larson!”

The young men were dumbfounded. It was a more serious crime to hurt someone with a weapon than it was to hit them bare-handed!

Only Luke continued rambling. “You punk, you know nothing about power! Don’t you know who my homeboy is? You want to threaten me with such a dirty trick? Hah! My homeboy only needs to say the word, and we’ll be free in no time, like nothing ever happened! You, on the other hand, had injured us.

Where do you think you’ll end up? I’ll have you stay in jail for a few years, then bring your wife to see you. How’s that sound? Hahaha…”

Matthew didn’t even look at him as he ordered in a loud voice, “Right, after filing the report, head over to Carlson Law Firm and ask for Mr. Manning. I want the knife-bearers to get a heavier sentence.”

The security guard nodded quickly. “Understood, Director Larson!”

Luke was stunned, for he had no idea who this man was. Huh? Is he calling for a lawyer for real? Still, when he thought of his powerful buddy, he felt almost fearless.

“So what if you get a lawyer? No matter which lawyer comes along, I’ll just beat them down! Just you wait, punk!” Luke shouted.

Matthew didn’t even spare him a glance. Instantly, he walked upstairs and thought for a while before sending Mr. Manning a message.

Ah-hah! It’s such a waste if this young man is put behind bars. I shall personally dish out the punishment he deserves.

When Matthew made his way back to the ward, he saw Crystal standing in front of the door, secretly observing the goings-on inside the ward.

“What are you doing?” he asked curiously.

Seeing Matthew, Crystal complained, “Look! Heidi’s daughter is here again!”

Matthew walked nearer to the door and saw a girl standing in the ward, dressed in quite revealing clothing. Heidi looked elated as she made the introductions. “You’re here, Leia! Come, this lovely lady here is your aunt!”

Leia gave Helen a look of disdain. She still remembered this aunt of hers. As a matter of fact, her memories of Helen were mainly during that time period when the Cunninghams were in poverty. Helen had come over to Leia’s house countless times, asking to borrow money from them. To her, Helen and her family were simply a bunch of paupers, and she had no desire to humor such people.

Leia waved her hand. “All right, I know, I know. But what does she have to do with me? I’ve been in Eastcliff for so long, but she never visited me at all. What sort of relative is this?”

Her comment left her aunt, Helen, rather awkward. Ah, the girl is right. I didn’t visit her in the past.

Heidi hastily said, “Leia, you can’t say such things! Your Aunt Helen didn’t know that you were here for school. I’ve never told her, see? It’s not like she doesn’t care about you.”

Leia waved her hand again. “Enough. I’m not in the mood for such nonsense! When are you giving me my allowance? I’m all out of money right now, and I had to borrow money from people for my meals these days.”

Immediately, Helen frowned. “Leia, didn’t you withdraw the 130,000 that was on your mother’s card?

Where did that money go?”

Leia glared at her. “This is our business, so don’t butt in. What, are you upset that I spent all the money so you can’t borrow from us anymore? Look, that money belongs to us, and I can use it however I like.

What does that have to do with you?”

Seeing how things had escalated, Heidi was panicking. “Leia, how can you use that tone when you’re talking to your aunt?”

Growing impatient, Leia growled, “Was I wrong? I’ve been studying here for so long, but she never even came to see me! She has no right to interfere in our business!”

Heidi was so mad that her face went red. “H-How could you say that? She’s your aunt! I’ve already told you; it’s not that she didn’t want to see you. She just didn’t know because I didn’t tell her. She’s not the one at fault here—”

However, the young lady didn’t even bother to allow her mother to finish. “Enough of that! Don’t change the topic. I have no business with the likes of her, and I never will. Just give me my allowance and make it quick. I’m about to go back to campus!”

Heidi was rather awkward because she had no money to give her daughter. On the side, Matthew couldn’t help frowning. This girl is getting too out of hand.

He couldn’t help it anymore as he walked into the ward and said in a low voice, “What’s wrong with you, Leia? Look at the state your mother is in! Hasn’t it crossed your mind to ask how she’s doing? And you just walk in like that asking for money? Don’t you have the slightest bit of compassion for your own mother?”
