A One Night Stand With My Boss (Camilla) novel Chapter 228

“Good, good, that’s my good girl,” Grandma said contently, patting Claire’s hand.

Claire smiled faintly, but her heart was filled with bitterness.

“We’re still short by over two hundred thousand,” Riley muttered under his breath, his face pale.

He turned to Camila. “Cami, haven’t you been working for a few years now? You must have some savings, right?”

Camila frowned. “How much does your family have?”

She had saved up a fair amount, enough to cover the shortfall. Although she disliked her uncle’s family, she was willing to help out for Drew’s sake.

“Fifty thousand...” Riley’s voice grew even lower.

“Fifty thousand?” Camila was incredulous. “Drew sends fifteen thousand home every month, plus you’ve been earning interest for months. How can it only be fifty thousand?”

Riley fell silent for a while before admitting, “I bought a car.”

“Sell it!” Camila said decisively.

“Selling it now would mean a big loss!” Riley muttered, clearly reluctant.

Camila laughed helplessly. “So you were planning to just contribute fifty thousand, and leave the rest, over eight hundred thousand, for us to handle? Wow... you really know how to plan ahead!”

Riley and Melinda remained silent, clearly conceding.

“Fine, don’t sell it then,” Camila said as she poured herself a glass of water and took a sip. Setting down the glass, she continued, “If that’s the case, your precious son can stay locked up.”

Riley and Melinda’s faces turned sour upon hearing this.

Grandma immediately stood up. “Let’s sell the car, even if it’s at a loss. The most important thing right now is to get Drew out.”
