Chris couldn't help but sigh.
“Speaking of treats, | really miss the food that Chelsea used to cook for me. But | don’t think it’s appropriate to tell her, so | will just wait till she offers.”
Edmund sneered with contempt. “Since you know it’s not appropriate, you better not mention it to her. After saying that, Edmund hung up the phone, writhing with anger. Chris burst into Laughter, satisfied to have ruffled his feathers.
On the other side, Chelsea left the hospital soon after the interaction with Hilton. Hilton asked Garry to go through the discharge formalities for him.
When Garry was taken to the police station last time, the police had given him a warning but let him go.
Garry arrived at the hospital, hungry for details. “How much did she give?” he asked eagerly.
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.“Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
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. | 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.
| 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? | can’t hear you clearly because the signal here is terrible.
