Chapter 290 Bank Cards
Alyssa’s scolding subconsciously froze Audrey. Catherine sat on the side with a slight frown on her face. She raised her head and looked in the direction of Alyssa, her cold eyes shutting Alyssa’s mouth as she panicked.
Thinking about the task she was put here for today, Alyssa immediately turned her attention to Catherine. The way she treated Catherine was also different from that of Audrey. very
“Catherine, your grandparents asked me to come here today, mainly to visit you!” Alyssa assumed a high stance, deliberately mentioning Catherine’s grandparents from the Langs. But out of her expectations, Catherine didn’t buy it. All of Alyssa’s words were nonsense to her.
“Now that you’ve seen me, can you go now?” said Catherine. Alyssa froze at Catherine’s words. She didn’t expect this girl’s attitude to be so cold and direct. If she hadn’t come here with a mission, she would have already taught a lesson to this girl.
Thinking of her husband’s instructions, Alyssa carried over the handbag on the side, fished out one of the cards, and put it in front of Catherine.
“This is from your uncle. There are 50 thousand dollars in it. Your uncle is soft -hearted and dotes on kids. He said it wasn’t easy for you to grow up alone in the countryside, so he gave you more money to keep your use. You can see how good your uncle is to you.”
With that, she added, “This is 50 thousand dollars, you know. You have to remember your uncle’s kindness!”
Alyssa kept emphasizing the amount of money, thinking that Catherine, a girl. who had just returned from the countryside, had never seen so much money. However, she didn’t expect Catherine to be so calm. There wasn’t the slightest change in her expression.
Alyssa pondered for a short while and felt that it would not do. Then she again fished out another card from inside her bag and placed it on the table.
“This is from me. I feel sorry for you every time I look at you. There are 100 thousand dollars in here, and you can secretly keep it. Don’t be a spendthrift, okay?
“Your uncle and I, you know, are different from your parents. To us, all nieces are the same. As long as you can remember our goodness, we will dote on you as our own daughter.”
Audrey, sitting at the side, watched this scene in shock. It was the first time Alyssa had been here since the apartment was purchased.
She initially thought that Alyssa was here to make a complaint. After all, Catherine had offended the Langs that night. But right now, Alyssa’s series of doing completely puzzled her.
Alyssa was notoriously stingy. No one could get anything out of her. But today, she was so generous and took the initiative to give Catherine such a large amount of money. It was simply unbelievable.
Alyssa frowned. Seeing Catherine still untouched, she could not help but feel uneasy. She didn’t know what Catherine meant, but it didn’t feel right.
Just as she was planning to probe again, Catherine, who was originally lazily leaning back on the sofa, suddenly made a move. She slightly sat up straight, turned her gaze to Alyssa, and coldly said, “Thank you.”
A satisfied smile appeared on Alyssa’s face. “We’re family, so there’s no need for thanks. As long as you can remember our goodness, we haven’t spent all this money for nothing!”
After saying that, she kept winking at Catherine and signaling her. Catherine grunted just as a phone call came to Alyssa. She answered the phone, and it was a few rich ladies calling to ask her to play poker.
She had come early in the morning just to block Catherine, but she did not expect the girl to be out of the house. And that was why she had been delayed for so long. Since her mission was accomplished, she had no intention of staying here anymore and was about to leave.
“I still have things to do and won’t chitchat much with you two.” After saying that, Alyssa hurriedly stood up and wanted to leave.
Malik had given her 300 thousand dollars, and she had accomplished her task so nicely with 150 thousand dollars. It made her happy just to think about it. Initially, she only wanted to use 50 thousand dollars, but who knew that Catherine was so greedy?
Although half of it was used, it was not bad to be able to keep half of it. Before leaving, Alyssa still didn’t forget to give Catherine another reminder, telling her to remember Malik and her goodness. She was dedicated to her mission.
The sound of the door closing with a thud brought Audrey back to her senses. She looked at Catherine with an incredulous face. “Kathy, did you cast a spell on your aunt?”
Otherwise, how could Alyssa, who had always been arrogant and stingy, suddenly become generous? How could she take special care of Catherine, who was the least likely to be noticed among the entire family?
Catherine looked askance at Audrey with an oppressive aura of devouring everything in her evil and reckless eyes. She picked up the two cards on the table and shoved them into Audrey’s hands. “For you!”
Audrey looked down at the two bank cards in her hands and was lost in thought for a long time. Although 150 thousand dollars wasn’t much, it still caught Audrey off guard when she suddenly received such a large sum of money from Alyssa’s hands.
Catherine, however, had already walked in the direction of the room. I’m going to take a break. Don’t call me until the dinner time!”
Although Audrey was still in shock, she subconsciously replied to Catherine’s request without thinking, “Okay, I’ll let you know when I’m done ordering.”
On Catherine’s stunning face, her two thin lips slightly curled into a half- smile. Audrey’s behavior at times was indeed very adorable, she thought.
Inside the hospital, Johnathan was able to get out of bed on crutches. With his leg just a little bit better, he couldn’t wait to carry out his plan of revenge. He summoned a few of his friends to the hospital, all of whom were his closest buddies, and only listened to him.
“Mr. Johnathan, what happened to you? Some days ago, when your father was there, I did not dare to come to see you!”
The one who spoke was called Dayton Barret. He was the one who hung out with Johnathan most often and was also a rich kid, but his family was not as wealthy as the Swanns.
Johnathan impatiently swept a glance at him. “Cut the crap. I’m calling you guys here for something important. Someone injured my leg. As my friends, shouldn’t you avenge me?”
Dayton and the others froze for a moment at Johnathan’s words. They hadn’t expected that Johnathan’s leg injury wasn’t accidental but caused by someone else.
“Mr. Johnathan, does your father not know about such a big thing? No way! If he knows, why do we need to make a move? Given your father’s power, can’t he manage it?”
A killing intent permeated Johnathan’s eyes when he heard this. He gritted his teeth and said coldly, “Do you know who the person that hurt me is?”
Looking at Johnathan’s expression, Dayton secretly felt something wasn’t right. They all envied Johnathan. An only son like him didn’t have to worry about the fights for power in the family.
In the future, everything in the Swanns would be Johnathan’s, and he was much luckier than them. But Dayton always felt something was not quite right, judging from Johnathan’s behavior.
He tentatively asked, “Mr. Johnathan, could it be that the one who hurt a Swann?” you is
This sentence seemed to poke Johnathan’s sore spot. He was instantly enraged and glared at Dayton, as terrifying as if he were about to eat someone.
“How can that jinx be considered one of the Swanns? She doesn’t deserve it!”
