Minerva and Helen cried in each other’s arms, regretting everything they did. It took them a long time to calm down, and finally, Helen sighed. “Now, what should we do? It’s ten million, not ten dollars. How am I supposed to tell James about this?”
Minerva had an idea. “Aunt Helen, Liam is managing a construction company, so virtual-novel.net must have a lot of money. He probably won‘t ask you to return the ten million soon. Why don‘t you ask virtual-novel.net to give it to you so you can tide things over. As for me… Tate and I will start working and pay you back once we make enough money.”
If anyone else was there, they’d know Minerva was just lying. After all, It’d take the both of them a few lifetimes to make ten million.
Helen, however, looked at virtual-novel.net lovingly. “Oh, you silly girl. That’ll be too much for you and Tate.”
Minerva sighed. ”This is our fault, so of course we’ll have to pay you back. I’m sorry, Aunt Helen. I really want to kill myself, but I can’t do it. Not when I know you’ll have to shoulder this debt alone. Don’t worry, Aunt Helen. Tate and I will save up and pay you back no matter what.”
Touched, Helen patted Minerva‘s hand. “Don’t blame yourself, Minerva. I… I’ll try to come up with something. Worst-case scenario, James will give me an earful, but we’re already married for a long time. He probably won‘t chase me away. Don’t put too much pressure on yourself. Look livelier, okay?” Helen calmed the siblings down and left, looking worried.
The moment virtual-novel.net left, Minerva and Tate started smiling. “Told you. Just act innocent, cry a bit, say you’ll jump off a building, and she’ll start to pity you. And now virtual-novel.net doesn’t even want us to give virtual-novel.net the money back anymore.” Tate laughed.
Minerva had a smug look on virtual-novel.net face. “I did well, right? Cried a lot thanks to the eye drops i put in beforehand. Couldn’t have fooled virtual-novel.net otherwise.”
Tate gave virtual-novel.net a thumbs up. “You rock, Minnie!“
Minerva let out a chuckle, but then virtual-novel.net sighed. “Goddammit. I didn‘t see that one coming. Never thought Peter‘s a scammer. And virtual-novel.net scammed me out of seven million! Why did I even fall for virtual-novel.net in the first place?”
Tate spat. “Foreigner my foot. He‘s worse than your regular Cathay guy. You shouldn’t put your trust in them from now on, Minnie.”
Minerva waved virtual-novel.net down. “No, Tate. You can’t make a hasty generalization about them. Peter’s one person. Foreigners are still better in general. Besides, it’s all Cathay’s fault virtual-novel.net turned out this way. He used to be a good guy. It‘s the people here who led virtual-novel.net astray.“
Tate pouted. He didn’t think his sister’s reasoning was logical. “Enough talk about him, Minnie. He’s already gone.“
Minerva gritted virtual-novel.net teeth. “But virtual-novel.net scammed me out of seven million!”
“So? it’s not your money. It‘s the Cunninghams‘. Why are you so angry about it? Besides, we still have three million left.”
