Chapter 122 – Turned into an enemy overnight
Kevin, in his emotional state, didn’t deliberately control the tone of his voice, so the entire hallway echoed with his voice.
He wanted to get out of the poor county of Hopmeadow Downs, but unfortunately he didn’t choose the right way, and dropped out of school at an early age to go to work in various places, but he didn’t gain any knowledge or skills, and all he learned was that he was vulgar and didn’t have any responsibilities.
Outside the hallway.
Victoria was silent for a split second, almost laughing with exasperation.
“If it weren’t for Uncle and Aunt, do you think I would bother to care about you?”
A man in his twenties, not even a decent job by now, took hundreds of thousands of dollars from a client and ran away, and had the nerve to gamble and lose more than a million dollars, but also asked his parents to pay it back for him, so what the hell does he have the face to argue?
Victoria pulled him along and pressed the answer button straight away.All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.
“Uncle.”
But it wasn’t Jonathan calling, it was her aunt Ellie.
Ellie’s voice was tired and full of rasp.
“Tori, I didn’t want to make this call to you, but I really have no choice. We don’t have the contact information for that boss, and the police are holding onto Alexia. With so much money, we simply can’t come up with it. Isn’t this place supposed to be demolished soon? Your uncle and I originally borrowed some money from relatives and bought several houses from the neighbors, thinking that when we get the demolition compensation, we can repay some of it. But now that the news of demolition has come, their sons and daughters have come causing trouble. Your uncle’s leg is broken, and his head is bleeding. He is still in the hospital being treated. I can’t come up with the money for the surgery at the moment. I really have no choice.”
Victoria’s heart clenched when she heard this.
Angry and powerless.
Thinking that they wouldn’t be able to come up with the 8 million dollars and would just have to let Alexia go to jail for a while, she was planning to find a way to come up with the money and ransom her after a while. After all, Alexia had gone too far and had to be taught some lessons.
However, little did Victoria expect that her uncle and aunt, unwilling to let Alexia suffer, would actually consider taking someone else’s house.
They have been living in Renhe district for so many years, and all around them are very familiar with the neighbors, this is only a few days, the news of demolition came out, decades of neighbors, overnight directly into enemies.
Victoria felt a wave of powerlessness and could only offer some consolation.
“Auntie, don’t worry, I’ll call you the money right away, and I met Kevin, you can use the money to advance the medical bills first, Kevin and I will rush back tonight.”
Kevin, on the side, resorted to a stubborn threat, “Victoria, I’m not going back. If you want to go back, go ahead. I never want to go back to that home in my entire life…”
“Pop!”
As soon as the words left her mouth, Victoria just raised her hand and slapped it.
Kevin’s cheek veered heavily at the slap, and his mouth tasted of blood.
He looked at Victoria incredulously for a few seconds before reacting and touching his cheek.
“You hit me?”
When Victoria used to stay at his house, she was a well-behaved and calm girl. Who would have thought that she would actually slap him?
Kevin didn’t fight back, this was his cousin after all.
Victoria looked at him coldly, ‘Are you awake now? Alexia deliberately damaged Mr. Andrews’ luxury car and has to compensate eight million. Uncle and aunt took a risky move for this money, and now Uncle is still in critical condition. Are you really not going back, Kevin? If you don’t go back, I’ll have those thugs come back right now.'”
Kevin’s body shivered, pursing his lips to keep quiet.
The conflict between them all falls into Nick’s eyes.
He raised an eyebrow slightly the moment he saw Victoria slap out that slap.
