Chapter 956
Andrius choked at Madeline’s words and explained, “I left in a hurry this morning and forgot about it. I’mreally sorry.”
“Don’t be!” Sandra quickly intervened to smooth things over. “The most important thing is that youbrought the medicine that we needed this month. Other gifts aren’t necessary.”
“Tsk.” Madeline glanced at the bag of medicine and sneered “Medicine? They’re probably just randomweeds they plucked from the wild. Only an ignorant old woman like you would treasure it.
“As for condolences. What are they worth if they’re not hundreds of thousands or millions? That’s noteven enough for me to buy a handbag.”
Andrius‘ frown deepened.
At those words, Sandra’s expression immediately stiffened, and she reprimanded, “Maddy, how couldyou say that? They’re being kind. Those herbs have helped to alleviate some of your father’s and myhealth problems. How can you be like this?”
Madeline did not change her tune because of her mother’s reprimanding “Did I say something wrong?What’s the use of some weeds?
“My brother was quite pitiful. He lost his life on the battlefield, and all he got was a worthless certificate.What good is that? It can’t be sold for money or put food on the table. It’s completely useless.
“The military is too much, too. My brother is a martyr who sacrificed his life for the country. They shouldgive us several hundreds of thousands, or a house at the very least.”
Sandra was just about to discipline Madeline.
However, Andrius said, “You’re right. Your brother sacrificed his life for the country. Giving severalhundreds of thousands or a house is only appropriate.”
“Heh… So, will you?” Madeline sneered. “You’re just a bunch of paupers who use useless herbs to foolpeople and call it giving condolences.”
She was getting worked up. In her peripheral vision, she noticed Lyra who came out of the kitchen afterhearing the commotion, and instantly felt jealousy when she saw Lyra’s youthful beauty.
“Get out.” Madeline’s face twisted. “You’re trying to mooch off a meal from my family in exchange for abag of useless weeds? That’s disgusting!”
At those words, Sandra and Lyra’s expressions changed.
When Madeline saw them not reacting, she walked over to Lyra to push her outside.
Ring, ring-
At that moment, her phone rang.
“Who is calling at this time?” she muttered and took her phone out of her pocket.
It was the latest and most expensive model on the market, still wrapped in a brand–new phone case
which created a stark contrast with the simple room.
Madeline glanced at the screen and instantly paled. She turned the screen toward herself, not lettingSandra see who it was, and hurriedly rushed into her own room.
Bam!
After locking the door, she answered the door and immediately began to plead, “Trent, please give metwo more days. I can’t come up with that much money at the moment.”
“You can’t?” On the other end of the phone, Trent chuckled mercilessly. “Don’t forget, Madeline. Wemade it explicitly clear that you had to pay back the fifty grand within two months when you borrowed itfrom us back then.
“You even provided your home address and family details. You don’t want me to tell your parents, doyou?”
Madeline panicked upon hearing this.
If her parents found out that she had borrowed money at such a high interest rate, they would breakher legs!novelbin
“Trent, I’m begging you! Please… Please don’t come to my house….” Madeline sobbed, “As long asyou don’t come to my house, I’ll do anything.”
“Anything?” Trent sneered. “Madeline, I’m not easily fooled. You better speak clearly. Do you reallymean anything?”
Madeline was afraid of the situation being exposed and reluctantly agreed, “Yes. I’ll do anything as longas you don’t come to my house.”
“Great.” Trent said sinisterly, “I can give you a few more days, but you need to show me your sinceritytoday. Can you do it?”
In order to prevent him from coming to her house, Madeline gritted her teeth and agreed. “Yes.”
“Good, then I’ll wait for you at the usual place. Come over earlier.”
Then, Trent hung up the phone.
Madeline came out of the room with a straight face, acting as if nothing had happened.
Unbeknownst to her, as a Martial Emperor expert, Andrius had remarkable hearing and heardeverything clearly even behind a closed door.
