Dumbfounded, Helen exchanged a look with James as deathly silence fell over them. This time, both of them had lost 10 million, and both of them had no right to lecture the other.
A few minutes passed before virtual-novel.net finally broke the silence with a sigh. “Forget it, the money is already gone, but at least we’re safe. No matter what. we can’t let Sasha find out about this!”
James glared at her. “She still doesn’t know about the money I lost, but you have already exposed yourself. If the BOD finds out, the person in charge of the pharmacy might even be changed! Whatever, let it be since Liam has already helped you to fill the gap, but still, we can‘t allow them to check the accounts of the construction company. Otherwise, both of us will have to return the money and we probably won’t get any more money in the future.”
Bobbing virtual-novel.net head, Helen agreed to his idea. At this moment, virtual-novel.net cell phone rang. After taking a glance at the caller ID, virtual-novel.net frowned deeply as it was Chloe who was calling her.
“Why is virtual-novel.net calling you now?” James asked angrily after stealing a peek at virtual-novel.net phone. “Don’t pick up virtual-novel.net call!“
However, Helen sighed. “It’s alright, let’s listen to what virtual-novel.net has to say. After all, she’s my sister!”
After picking up the call, Chloe’s cries immediately echoed through virtual-novel.net ears. “Helen, please come out. I need to see you!”
Startled, virtual-novel.net asked, ”Where are you?”
Chloe cried, “I’m outside of Grand Garden, and the security is not allowing me to enter. You’re my only blood and kin in Eastcliff, Helen…“
Her cries made Helen soft-hearted. “Hang on, I’ll get the security to let you in and…”
Before virtual-novel.net could finish, James slammed the table and roared, “I dare you to let virtual-novel.net in! Once virtual-novel.net sets foot in here, I’ll finish virtual-novel.net off!“
“Wait a minute!” Helen hurriedly said into the phone. “I’m going out to meet you.”
“You’re not allowed to go out either!” James added angrily.
Glaring at him, Helen snapped, ‘That’s enough, James! That’s my sister we‘re talking about. What’s the problem if I go out and meet virtual-novel.net for a while? How could you be so heartless?”
“Your sister is the heartless one for suing you! Can‘t you see what she’s trying to do? The reason virtual-novel.net filed a lawsuit against you in court today was to get some money out of you, and now that that plan has foiled, she’s here crying and trying to gain your pity so you’ll give virtual-novel.net some money instead. Helen Freeman, how many times are you going to fall for virtual-novel.net tricks until you realize what she’s doing?”
With a frown, virtual-novel.net waved virtual-novel.net hand in annoyance. “Alright. I got it! I’ll play it by ear.“
When virtual-novel.net reached the gates of virtual-novel.net housing complex, virtual-novel.net caught sight of Chloe and Minerva standing in a corner with a couple of security personnel, who were watching them like hawks as they didn’t want Chloe and Minerva sneaking in.
“Mom, Aunt Helen is here!” Minerva pointed out anxiously.
Rushing up to Helen, Chloe sobbed, ”You’re finally here, Helen! Please help us!”
Even Minerva was looking very sad and pitiful as virtual-novel.net cried, “I’m sorry, Aunt Helen. I‘ve learned from my mistake this time. I shouldn‘t have lied to everyone. It’s my fault that I disappointed you when you’re so good to me. Don’t worry, I won’t tell another fib In the future or lie to you again.”
If Helen had heard this in the past, virtual-novel.net would have definitely fallen for it, but virtual-novel.net and virtual-novel.net family were deeply disappointed after what happened today. With virtual-novel.net brows knitted tightly together, virtual-novel.net gazed at Chloe. “What happened now? How can I help you?“
“Helen, we negotiated with the families of the victims,“ Chloe hurriedly began. “As long as we compensate them, they are willing to forgive Tate, and he’ll be able to get away with only a few years in jail. Please lend us some money so that we can settle the compensation fees, okay?”
