Chapter 687
The girl was still begging, but the woman didn’t want to budge at all. Some onlookers gathered around them, taking the girls side after they understood what was going on, trying to persuade the woman to accept the cake.
The woman finally relented but threw Emily a curveball ‘It’s your fault it’s late, the cake’s not fresh anymore. If you want to compensate me, you can give me back half the money!” Emily’s eyes widened, shaking her head, 1 can’t afford that‘
The cake cost two thousand bucks, so half of that would be a thousand bucks.
“Either pay up or take the cake away, it’s up to you!” The woman crossed her arms, turning away to ignore Emily
The people around them were discussing the situation, and it was pretty obvious that the woman on the couch just wanted Emily to pay her
Charle watched with an impassive expression. Seeing Emily in such a miserable state didnt make him feel any better, but rather made him hate her more!
He hated her for betraying him for a mere 500,000, for her greed and shortsightedness!
He suddenly realized that Emily was indeed very money–hungry, working several jobs and eating bread for three days straight just to save money. Since they met, he’d never seen her buy any new clothes
And now, for the sake of a cake, she’s almost about to kneel before that woman!
Indeed, they were never meant to be together!
“Emily!”
Estelle came downstars, asking. “What’s going on?”
Seeing Estelle, Emily was a bit surprised and quickly shook her head, “Nothing. I came to deliver the cake”
What do you mean nothing? You better make up your mind, don’t waste my time! The woman said coldly.
“Okay, Ill pay you half the money!‘ Emily suddenly made up her mind, took out her wallet, and said, 1 give you the money right now!”
The woman’s face instantly showed a hint of triumph, The cake is two thousand and five hundred bucks, so you’ll give me one thousand and three hundred”
Estelle blocked Emily. “Why give her the money?”
‘Estelle, stay out of this! Emily whispered as she tried to give the woman the money.
