Coolest Girl in Town

Chapter 609 Sly Old Fox

Edwin had gone to the psychiatric hospital early that morning. To others, he was there to visit Celina. In reality, though, he was there to borrow money from her. The moment Celina caught wind of his motives, however, she straight up whacked him and chased him out of the room. Fortunately, he managed to escape quickly, or she would have hit him with her chamber pot. Just the thought itself disgusted him.

Edwin rubbed the ear that Celina had scratched when he entered the Saunders Residence. He was despondent. Time was running out. Where was he supposed to find the money to pay back the creditors?

David was sitting on the couch when he saw Edwin come in. “Is Nana doing better?” he asked, his face expressionless.

Edwin put on a heartbroken look and shook his head. “Still the same as ever. Ever since she was exposed on TV, her hatred for Elise hasn’t stopped. The doctors said that it will be better to visit her less often in the future.”

The cogs in David’s sharp mind whirred. “Understood. I’ll visit her some time later,” he said in a low tone.

“I’ll return to my room then, Dad. Long car trips aren’t comfortable. I want to go to sleep.”

“Go then.” David coldly waved a hand in dismissal.

As he was deeply worried that he would show weakness in front of David, Edwin sped up his steps and half-jogged to his room upstairs.

David’s gaze remained on Edwin as he raced upstairs. Only when Edwin’s figure disappeared past the top of the stairs did David turn his head back. An obvious look of cruelty flashed across his eyes.

Right then, Mrs. Woods emerged from the kitchen. David asked her quietly, “Did you get the info?”

Mrs. Woods was currently the only trusted follower he had.

She carefully looked back to eye the stairs. Once she had confirmed that Edwin was back in his room, she lowered her voice. “Yes. The hardware store said that Mr. Edwin had gone there to pawn his belongings off. I called the psychiatric hospital earlier, and they said that Mr. Edwin had gone there to borrow money from Ms. Celina. Ms. Celina’s condition flared up again because of that.”
