Singed Once Always Wary

Chapter 132 Making a Snake Out of Bamboo, Unnecessary

James detested Jacob deeply. Back then, Jacob had fun off with hundreds of thousands of dollars from a client, almost causing the Fair family to lose a big deal.

During that time, James was busy dealing with the aftermath of Jacob’s actions.

He had kindly helped his late wife’s brother, only to be repaid with ingratitude. His one and only son truly was despicable!

Selena’s involvement with Brian was one thing, but now she was getting involved with Jacob as well, and James felt deeply disappointed.

Selena had nothing to say, especially since she was not good at lying in front of James.

Since James had heard about this matter, it was unlikely that she would be able to borrow money.

from him now.

Even though he was her father, Selena found it difficult to bring up the topic of money.

Thinking again of James‘ liver cancer, she felt helpless.

“Dad, the reason I didn’t attend the banquet wasn’t because of Jacob, but because Raymond got injured. I accompanied him to the hospital that night, and he didn’t go either.”

James narrowed his eyes, as he hadn’t heard that Raymond hadn’t attended that night either.

Selena couldn’t use this incident to deceive him. After all, if anyone else asked, they would find

out.

He sighed with relief, feeling much better.

“It’s good that it’s not because of Jacob. I thought you were so oblivious. You should have less. contact with your uncle’s family. That Megan is not a good person, and Brian and Erin treat her like a precious treasure. It’s only a matter of time before something goes wrong.”

Selena agreed with this point. But for now, the most important thing was the eight million.Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.

James should be in a good mood right now, so maybe she could take the opportunity to suggest buying Raymond a gift as compensation, and he would agree.

But before Selena could speak, James‘ phone rang. He looked at the number and a hint of disgust flashed in his eyes, but he still answered.

“What’s the matter?

Erin’s voice on the other end was submissive, and I took a long time for her to muster up the courage to speak.

“Big brother, I know you still hold a grudge against our family because of what happened in the past, but I really have no other choice. Megan recently smashed someone’s expensive car and sai

she needs to compensate eight million. Although Selena told me not to worry and that she will figure something out, I still can’t rest easy. Big brother, I know you have money, can you lend mé some? I’ll sell the house and a few pieces of land…

James was so angry that his heart was trembling, and he coughed several times.

“Eight million?! Selena told you not to worry! What does that mean she said she will pay eight million? Where did she get the money?! Erin, let me tell you, this is Megan caused this trouble himself, don’t expect me to help. You, a son and a daughter–in–law, are all useless and just

burdens!”

Big brother…”

Erin’s voice was hoarse, but before she could finish, James hung up the phone. James

looked at Selena.

Selena frowned, probably knowing who called. She felt annoyed and knew that her aunt was getting impatient. She had already told her that Megan would be released in a few days and she

would take care of the rest.

But Erin and Brian have always spoiled Megan over the years, and they couldn’t bear to have her in custody for another day.

So in a panic, she called James for help. It’s just making things worse. Not only did it disrupt her plan, but it also let James know that she was going to help the Lin family.

“Dad…”

“Erin called me, do you even know the trouble her son caused me? How can she have the audacity. to ask for help! Selena, if you compensate the Lin family with eight million, forget about your shares. Instead of spending money on the Lin family, you might as well give some more money to Alice’s medical expenses.”

“Return the allowance card I gave you last time.”

A trace of disbelief flashed in Selena’s eyes, but she didn’t say anything and silently handed it

over.

“How much did you spend?”

“Two hundred thousand.”:

“What did you buy?”

“Bought cufflinks for Raymond.”

Upon hearing this answer, James‘ tightly furrowed brow loosened, and he magnanimously handed

it back.

Selena didn’t accept it and felt humiliated, so she lowered her gaze. “No need.”
