Chapter 51 Just Ten Thousand Dollars?
Susan’s confidence disappeared in an instant.

Whenever Lillian went out with her so–called friends, the represented the Reed family. Of course, I would never let her leave the house wearing cheap clothes.
“Why are you comparing yourself to her? You’re not even in the same social circle. What’s the point of wasting money like that?”
A slight smile played on Stella’s lips.
You see? When it came to me it was always considered a waste.
“Sure, I waste. I like wasting money. Happy now?”
Susan snapped, “Not enough money? Fine, I’ll raise it back to what it was 14000 dollars a month. Good enough?”
She sounded completely fed up, clearly not wanting to argue anymore.
Before Stella could speak, Susan interrupted again. It’s settled. I’ll call the bank right now and open up the 14000 limit for you. But there’s something I need you to do.”
Stella replied, “So there’s a catch”
I was used to these things by now.
But the moment I heard Susan mention conditions, I didn’t even have to think; it was clearly for Lillian again.
Susan snapped, “Don’t give me that attitude. You are bringing Rianne back. And you know, Dr. Eddie, don’t you?”
Stella frowned slightly. “Eddie McKenzie?”
“You both went to the Parker family banquet. Don’t pretend you don’t know him.”
Susan’s tone was sharp and impatient.
Stella let out a deep laugh. “Wow, you really know every detail.”
It’s not like I was trying to hide anything. Look how scared she was getting
But I hadn’t even opened my mouth about Rianne, and now Eddie was being thrown into the mir
Susan said, “As long as you get them both to the medical center tomorrow, I’ll call the bank right now and activate your limit.”
Every sentence was driven by one motive—Lillian Reed
Stella couldn’t help but cluck her tongue. “Only 14000 dollars? And you want to buy Lillian’s life with that? Is that what she’s worth to you?”
As soon as those words left her lips, Susan on the other end of the line nearly exploded.
“From 2700 to 14000 dollars, and you still say it’s not enough? What exactly do you want?”
In Susan’s eyes.
14000 dollars wasn’t a small amount, not for someone like Stella, who came from poverty.
She never wanted to tell us what her adoptive family was like, wasn’t that just because they were too poor?
Even though she is her biological daughter, Susan couldn’t help but feel that Stella was too fake.
These people raised her, and yet she looked down on them?

Susan felt the had never been so angry in her life. But now, with Stella, she was really losing it.

He said he was fine but inside he was burning with anger

“She didn’t consent?” he asked.
Susan gritted her teeth. “Agree to whur? She’s jun bell–bent on going against Lillian.”

Jonathan didn’t answer.
Susan continued. With the kind of environment she grew up in there’s no way she could have met those two, right?”
That was the one thing Susan just couldn’t get her head around
