Zuri poked the steak on her plate and snorted.
“What do you think?” The day Colin’s mother threw a check at her was the most humiliating day of Zuri’s life. She was so angry and sad that she vowed to make something of her life. She swore to throw a check of ten million dollars in that wicked woman’s face someday. And perhaps get back with Colin.
At that time, Chelsea had mixed feelings about her friend’s vow.
“Money isn’t the problem now. I’m just waiting for Colin to come back. Then | will show that vile woman never to write people off!” Zuri said aggressively, stabbing the steak again.
Zuri rose from the bottom to the top in the entertainment circle. Her net worth was hundreds of millions of dollars. Ten million wasn’t a big deal for her.
Alook of sadness suddenly clouded Zuri’s face. She sighed and uttered sadly, “Although | can afford to pay back the money in ten folds, | am afraid that Colin wouldn’t want to take me back. He might strangle me for dumping him.”
Chelsea teased her.
“What are you afraid of? Have you forgotten how you chased Colin before? Use that same courage to win his heart back. If ten million dollars isn’t enough, just double it. You can do this, girl!” Chelsea burst into laughter after she finished speaking.
Zuri gave her a gentle slap on the hand and sighed deeply.
“| wouldn't be stressing over this if | just had to buy back his love with money It’s not that simple. Colin might have gotten over me along time ago.”
The two friends chatted whilst they ate their meal.
Within the last three days, the case between Chelsea and Sonya had been filed. Sonya was granted bail, so she was no longer in prison.
Even though Edmund forbade anyone to bail out Sonya, her bailout wasn’t against the law. The night that she got out of jail, Alena attempted suicide.
Edmund was woken up by his sister’s call in the middle of the night. Sonya’s sobbing voice came from the other end of the line. “It's our mom! She swallowed a lot of sleeping pills! She’s no longer breathing and her body is numb. | don’t know what to do!”
Edmund flew out of bed. He hung up and called an ambulance. Afterward, he drove to his mother’s residence, still in his pajamas
The ambulance arrived a few minutes before he got there. Alena was lying unconscious on the floor as the paramedics tried to resuscitate her.
Sonya was pacing about in the Living room. Her hair was a mess and her face was as red as a tomato. As soon as she saw Edmund, she rushed up to him and pointed her finger at him. “This is all your fault! It’s all your fault! Our mother decided to kill herself because you have been so mean to me. You are a bad son and brother!”
Edmund was infuriated by this accusation. He didn’t want to deal with her now, so he shook her off and shouted, “Fuck off!”
How was it his fault that Alena decided to kill herself? Was this because he refused to allow Brayan to take over the case? Was he wrong for standing for what was right? No, not at all!
If there was anyone at fault for this, that person was Sonya! She should never have done something so barbaric and expected him to stand by her side.
Sonya fell to the floor and burst into tears again.
“You still aren’t remorseful, Edmund. How can you be so mean to your family because of that wench? Will you only realize your mistakes once our mother is dead?”
