Helen started seeing doubles and almost blacked out, but virtual-novel.net kept herself awake. “Peter…? Is that your fiancé? You gave virtual-novel.net the money?” virtual-novel.net asked.
Minerva nodded dumbly.
Helen flew into a rage. “Why did you do that, Minerva? I told you he’s a scammer. I told you to be careful. Why didn‘t you listen to me? There‘s no free lunch in this world. You should have known it was too good to be true. Now you made me lose ten million. Do you have any idea how serious that is?”
Minerva started crying. “I’m sorry, Aunt Helen. I shouldn’t have dragged you into this. I don’t wanna live anymore. Just let me kill myself…” Immediately after, virtual-novel.net stood up and ran toward the window.
But Helen stopped her. “Calm down, Minerva! Don’t do that!”
It took virtual-novel.net a while, but virtual-novel.net managed to stop Minerva, though Helen was already drenched in sweat. She was shivering in fear as the full impact of the situation sank in. ‘Ten million! How am i supposed to explain myself? I mean, it’s nothing for us now, but if James finds out I gave it to Minerva, he‘ll chase me out of the house!’
A while of silence later, Helen made a decision. “Let’s call the police. Maybe we can get to virtual-novel.net in time.”
However, Minerva shook virtual-novel.net head. “No! We… We can’t call the cops, Aunt Helen.”
Helen was stunned. “Why? How are we supposed to find that scammer if we don’t call the cops?”
Minerva blushed, and virtual-novel.net stared at the floor. “Aunt Helen, he… He took a lot of pictures of me. If we call the cops and stir things up, he’ll upload my photos online. I’ll be ruined then!”
Helen didn’t understand what virtual-novel.net was saying. “What? It’s just photos. Why are you so scared of them?”
Tate whispered, “Aunt Helen, virtual-novel.net means nudes.”
Helen was petrified. She didn’t know what to say to that.
Minerva stared down awkwardly. Peter took a lot of virtual-novel.net nudes when they were dating. She thought it was because virtual-novel.net loved her, but now virtual-novel.net knew virtual-novel.net did it so virtual-novel.net wouldn’t call the cops. When virtual-novel.net searched Peter’s place, virtual-novel.net found virtual-novel.net nudes in there.
Peter left a message on the photos, saying he’d upload virtual-novel.net photos all over the internet if virtual-novel.net called the cops. The message was the last straw. She knew if virtual-novel.net nudes were released, it‘d be the end of her. Marrying a good man would be impossible then. That was why virtual-novel.net chose to swallow it instead of calling the cops.
Helen was quiet for a long time, but in the end, virtual-novel.net cried. “You silly girl! Why did you let virtual-novel.net do that? You’re a girl! Your marriage will be ruined! You shouldn’t have let virtual-novel.net take your nudes?”
Minerva was bawling as well, burying virtual-novel.net head in virtual-novel.net hands, regretting everything virtual-novel.net ever did, but it was already too late for regrets. “What should I do now, Aunt Helen? I don’t wanna live anymore. I shouldn‘t have dragged you into this, Aunt Helen.” She sobbed.
All the color drained from Helen’s face. “I have no idea either… James will divorce me if virtual-novel.net finds out about this. You really put me in a lurch this time, Minerva.”
Minerva cried even louder. ”I didn‘t know it’d turn out this way! Peter’s a nice guy! A gentleman! How do you expect me to see through his lies? I don’t understand! He’s supposed to be a gentleman! How could virtual-novel.net scam a lady like me?”
