Chapter 234
Shelia's face contorted with anger. "Do you have any idea how much money you owe? You expect me to help you? I don't have that kind of money."
Clarissa's eyes gleamed with a mix of desperation and hope. "But you've got that sugar daddy, haven't you? I heard he treats you well and takes you everywhere. Aren't you about to become his wife soon? The Nichols family is filthy rich. They can easily cover the debts." Shelia paled at the mention of Juan. "If I were to become his wife, those creditors wouldn't be hounding
1. me.
She knew Clarissa had been boasting to the creditors about her Impending marriage to Juan, and they knew Juan had taken her to various events.
But now, they somehow learned Juan cut off all her funds and came knocking, taking away almost everything valuable.
Gritting her teeth, Shelia hissed, "If you hadn't leaked my info, those creditors wouldn't be here. You're dragging me down with you. Why don't you just disappear?"
Clarissa's face was twisted with resentment. "Shelia, I'm your mother. How dare you speak to me like that? Remember, if it weren't for me helping you with that little incident, would you be studying at Arcane Academy now? Could you have gone to graduate school? You ungrateful brat! I just want 80 million dollars to save my life, and you won't help."
Shelia's expression darkened. "You!"Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.
She knew Clarissa's character well. If she couldn't help Clarissa repay the debt, Clarissa would expose her secret. If that happened, both of them would be doomed. Shelia fought back her annoyance and put on a smile. "You're my mom. Of course, I'll help you. But if you expose what I did, I can't marry Juan."
Smirking, Clarissa said, "I knew you'd have a way. Once you become Mrs. Nichols, pay off my debt and give me some money. Then I will leave Juan and you alone," "I want to marry Juan sooner, but there's a problem right now."
"What problem?"
Shelia adopted a pitiful expression. "Juan's wife, Debra, has regained his affection recently. That's why he's cutting ties with me. If Debra were gone, I could win him back." Clarissa frowned, considering Shelia's words.
Shelia took her hand and spoke earnestly. "These days I've been stressed every day trying to raise money for you. But as long as Debra is around, I can't marry Juan. Can you help me?"
