Chapter 163 It Was My Misjudgment Of Character

Perhaps it was the first time Scarlett had spoken such harsh words, leaving her mother completely stunned. After all, in her mind, her daughter would never be capable of abandoning her.

"What's all the fuss about? Once your cousin has made some money, he'll naturally pay you back," Bartholomeo stated, still wearing a stern expression.

For the first time. Scarlett openly mocked, "That loser? Are you still dreaming? I bet all the money's been squandered by now."

It was as if a veil had been lifted, and in an instant, Sienna and Bartholomeo's faces were flushed with embarrassment and anger. "What's the big deal about losing money? You can always earn it back. Why make such a fuss?" Bartholomeo said angrily.

"That's my money. How dare you even utter such words!" Scarlett seemed to have transformed all of a sudden, no longer showing any mercy. "I won't waste my breath arguing with you. Leave now, and if by Tomorrow I don't see my money returned, be prepared for a court summons."

Faced with such a resolute Scarlett, both Bartholomeo and Sienna became frantic.

Sienna said, "That's not possible, Lettie. Let me be honest with you we really don't have any money. Your cousin has invested all of it. We can't get it back, even if you were to kill him for it. Can we stop arguing about this? I promise we'll pay you back in the future. Just give him another year, no, three years."

Suddenly, there was a stir at the hospital room door. Javier, cradling an arm, entered the room with a pale face.

His pupils quivered as he looked at Scarlett and her family with trembling lips.

Upon seeing Javier's expression, Isabella couldn't help but laugh gleefully inside.

Oh, look at you, all anxious! You've discovered that all of Scarlett's money has been transferred out. Even if you disguis yourself as a blackmailer and threaten her with the photos you once secretly photographed, you can't squeeze out a single penny. Isn't it quite despairing to know this truth now? All your efforts for nothing but time wasted.

Upon seeing Javier's dumbfounded demeanor, Christopher couldn't help but silently chuckle.

Seeing Javier open his mouth yet unable to find the right words only served to amuse Isabella and Christopher even more.

Ironically, he doesn't dare to confront her at the moment. His face is so tense looks like his veins ar about to burst.
