Carmella’s eyes bulged. You spent all the money? Did you lose it all?”
A trace of embarrassment crossed Victor’s face, and he awkwardly laughed, “Don’t worry about how I spent it, the money’s all gone. Some people in J City can drop 10 grand in one night, believe me, I was thrifty!”
Carmella couldn’t believe him: “What am I to you, an ATM? Even your parents wouldn’t give you this much money!”
Victor didn’t get angry, he just kept grinning. “My parents are gone, who else is left in this world that is blood-related to me?”
“We’re not family!” Carmella stepped back, looking at Victor with disgust and caution. Back off or I’ll report you for extortion!”
“Go ahead and report me, blow this whole thing out of proportion. I know where you live, maybe your current foster parents could come and clear things up!” Victor retorted confidently
Carmella’s face changed. “You’ve been following me?”
“Don’t make it sound so bad, I’m just checking in on you and seeing how you’re doing. How can that be considered stalking?”
Carmella shivered. “What do you want?”
“Give me 50 grand. If I have money, I won’t bother your Victor said it nonchalantly.
Carmella immediately shook her head and said, “No way!”
She said firmly, “Although the McClain family is loaded, the money is in my parents’ hands. They won’t give it all to me. How am I supposed to get you 50 grand?”
Victor thought for a moment: “Surely you can scrape together 20 grand! That’s the absolute minimum; otherwise, I go to your parents!”
Carmella gritted her teeth in anger. “Even if I gave you 200 grand, it wouldn’t cover your losses!”
Victor quickly responded, “I won’t gamble anymore. I’ll use the money to start a business with my friends”
“Who are your friends in J City?”
“That’s none of your business, just give me the money!”
Naturally, Carmella didn’t want to give him anything. She had a hunch that if she gave him money this time, there would be countless times in the future. Victor was like a bottomless pit!
“Write a promise that I will give you 20 grand and you will never bother me again. Even if you try, I won’t give you a dime!” Carmella said it coldly. Victor thought about it and laughed, Deal. You transfer the money, and I’ll write the promise!”
“You write the promise first!”
Carmella handed a pen and paper to Victor.
Reluctantly, Victor found a place and wrote the promise according to what Carmella had said.
Carmella looked it over, and only after confirming there were no issues did she let him sign it. “Hurry up!” Victor urged.
Carmella took out her phone and transferred the money to him with a grimace, saying, “I have no more money to give you. Use this to rent a place and find a job. Stop messing around.”
“I got it!” Victor said it impatiently. As soon as he saw the money hit his account, he immediately put on a smile and said, “Thanks, you’re the best!” Disgusted, Carmella looked at him and said, “Just go!”
Victor smirked and left.
Carmella watched Victor’s departing figure and dejectedly sat on the bench. Since Victor had appeared, she felt a heavy rock pressing on her heart, making her feel suffocated. She was even somewhat panicked, worrying about how she could get rid of him in the future
