Audrey understood.
The Rofus Family’s strength was inferior to the Lake Family to begin with. In fact, the Rofus Family was out of their league for this marriage.
If Linda and Jerry’s marriage was ruined, the Rofus Family’s business would definitely be affected, and the head of the Rofus Family would definitely not let go of Linda, who had stepped forward and said that she had fallen in love with someone else.
After all, Linda was just an illegitimate daughter and her status was not as high as Tina’s. When the time came, Linda would not be able to resist them no matter what they wanted to do.
However… Audrey said, “I didn’t see anything about you standing up and saying that you wanted to cancel the engagement. Now that you’re saying that you’re hiding and that you don’t have money to eat, don’t tell me you didn’t get
Caroline’s money?”
Linda said nothing.
Audrey asked again, “So you didn’t want to be slandered or offend the Rofus Family, so you secretly hid?”
Why was it a little contradictory?
Soon, Audrey heard Linda suppressing her anger. “That detestable woman, Caroline, if only she would fulfill her promise… This miser, she promised me that as long as I followed her instructions, she would send me overseas after it was done and let me live a carefree life…
Linda changed the topic and wailed, “This untrustworthy guy. God bless, this hateful woman will definitely go to hell in the future… I overheard her conversation with her assistant. This woman actually wants to send me to the slums of Africa to cultivate wasteland and grow bananas! As for the money she promised me, she doesn’t want to give me a single cent.”
Audrey was stunned.
She wasn’t surprised by Caroline’s vicious methods, but by… Linda saying that she was going to Africa to plant bananas. Wasn’t this… Audrey’s original outcome?
The situation was so magical.
Anna still looked at Audrey curiously, and there was even a faint look of excitement on her face.
Audrey looked embarrassed as she turned around and continued to say to Linda, “So? You ran away by yourself? To escape the fate of being sent to Africa to grow bananas?”
For some reason, Audrey suddenly wanted to laugh, but when she thought about how morally she wasn’t allowed to do so, she could only hold it in.
Linda finally revealed her motive. “Audrey, alright, my dear friend. I admit that I might not have treated you so well in the past, but I really treat you as a friend… Audrey, I can’t afford to eat now. You have to help me.”
This time, Audrey asked readily, “How much do you want?”
Linda was overjoyed. “You’re willing to help me? I need half a million dollars…”
500,000 dollars, in US dollars.
Audrey sighed inwardly at Linda’s wishful thinking.
“No, Linda, I’ve thought of a way to make you eat faster,” Audrey said with a
smile.
Linda had a bad feeling. “What do you mean?”
Audrey pretended to scare her and said, “When you just called me, I’ve already sent a message to your sister, Tina… Look, will Tina be able to locate your number and find your hiding place within a day?”
Linda’s face turned pale.
Seeing that Audrey had no intention of helping her from the beginning to the end, Linda finally couldn’t help but curse. “Audrey! You vicious woman! How can you treat me like this? Have you forgotten that no one has been your friend since junior high school to university? I’ve always been by your side? How can you be so ungrateful?”
Audrey thought of the Host’s various actions in the past and suddenly sneered. “My arrogance is all thanks to you… Linda, if you don’t run, your sister will find you… When you go to Africa, there will be so many bananas there. You won’t have to worry about starving.”
Linda’s panicked voice quickly sounded. “Audrey, how can you be so heartless? Why are you like a different person after that car accident? We were clearly such good friends in the past…”
Audrey’s expression gradually turned cold. The next second, she hung up.
Anna, who was watching from the side, was dumbfounded.
When Audrey and Linda were on the phone just now, Audrey didn’t put her on speaker, but Anna could still vaguely hear Linda’s excited voice.. From her tone, it was as if Linda was about to crawl out of her phone and beat Audrey up in the next second…
