Chapter 114
Hilton leaned against the passenger seat and announced proudly, "Twenty thousand dollars!"
Garry winced at the amount. "Only twenty thousand? It should have been at least two hundred thousand dollars."
Garry often took money from Edmund who was very generous when it came to giving him money. When he heard the amount Chelsea had given, a look of disappointment crossed his face.
Hilton was annoyed by his son's lack of patience. "What's the rush? There will be plenty of opportunities to milk money out of her, don't you think so?"
Hilton continued, "She gave me the money without much hesitation, so I'm guessing she has a lot of money with her. I don't believe she divorced Edmund without taking a penny from him.
After all, she has married such a wealthy man. Why wouldn't she make use of this opportunity? Only a fool would come out of such an alliance empty-handed.
I don't think time has changed her much. She seems pretty weak even now. We could easily bully her into giving us money." When Hilton envisioned a future where Chelsea would lavishly give him money, his mood suddenly brightened up. "It looks like we made the right choice by keeping her in our family. Who would have thought she would turn into a gold mine?"
Garry burst into laughter when he heard this.
Yes, Hilton was a miser. He was hesitant to take in the newly born Chelsea because that would mean he had to spend more money on his family.
But Garry's mother, who was a kind-natured woman, insisted on keeping Chelsea.
Now it seemed that her decision had finally started to pay off.
Hilton and Garry ran out of this twenty thousand dollars soon. Chelsea knew sooner or later they were going to contact her for more money.
Although she had blocked their phone numbers, she knew they would call her through some other number.
Sure enough, she received a call from an unknown number.
She picked it up calmly and heard Garry shouting, "Chelsea, where are you? Why aren't you at home?"
"I'm at my friend's home. What's the matter?" Chelsea asked feigning innocence.
Garry said crossly, "We have spent all the money you have given us for dad's medical purpose."
"Hello? Hello?" Before Garry could go on any further, he heard Chelsea pretend like she couldn't hear him. Sounding a little depressed, she said, "Garry, what did you say? Could you repeat it for me? I can't hear you clearly because the signal here is terrible. "
Garry was furious and was overcome by an urge to scold her. However, he reminded himself he had to be patient with her if he wanted her money.
Before he could say anything, Chelsea replied, "I'm sorry, Garry. The signal here can't be helped. Let's
talk about it another day." NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.
After saying that, she quickly hung up the phone. When Garry called her again, he was told that the phone was switched off.
Garry gritted his teeth. He finally understood that there was nothing wrong with her signal. She was just trying to get rid of him.
It was pretty evident she wasn't going to pay them another penny.
Hilton, who had thought it would be a piece of cake to get money from Chelsea, was quite confused at Garry's frustration. "What's wrong?"
After Garry told Hilton what had happened, Hilton was seething with rage as well. "Is she going to continue to hide from us?"
Garry snorted derisively and said, "Apparently."
Hilton wasn't the kind of man who would give up easily. He came up with a solution. "It doesn't matter. Isn't she a scriptwriter in a film and television company? Let's go to her company to make a fuss and see if she would show up.
If she still refuses to see us, we will make it impossible for her to work there properly. If she still doesn't give in, we will make her lose her foothold in the script writing field."
As soon as Hilton said this, Garry quickly brightened up. "Dad, you are really something. Why didn't I think of brewing trouble in her company?
We had supported her all these years. It is all going to be in vain if she refuses to give us some money!"
But in truth, all of Chelsea's expenses in the Williams family were paid by her deceased mother, and Hilton had never spent a penny on her.
