I Want a Divorce by Abigail Quinn

Chapter 119

Candice was stunned and did not know what to say for a moment.

She wondered why Calista, who had indulged her since she was a child, was now so difficult to deal with.

Calista was now hard to influence, and would just refuse to listen no matter what Candice said.

She had also become smarter.

Candice was very annoyed, and her expression immediately darkened. “Calista, you are very rich, but you’re just going to watch and not help when I am in trouble?”

Calista ignored her words and sighed before saying, “Candice, you have to change your conduct in life and behave with integrity. You can’t always think about taking advantage of others. Reaping without sowing won’t work every time. If it’s my own money, then I won’t mind giving it to you. However, this money now is not earned by myself, but by my son. He also told me that I can’t lend the money to anyone, so you should stop thinking about it. You should also stop thinking about my son’s company. I won’t meddle in the affairs of his company and even if I do, he will not agree, anyway. You should work hard to earn money with your own efforts.”

Candice’s face turned angry. When Calista saw this, she said, “Just stop thinking about it. Family means nothing if our relationship is tied to money. When Jason found out he had uremia, he just stayed in the hospital waiting for his death. He knew that we didn’t have enough money to treat his disease and was afraid that his illness would drag his children into debt traps. So, he decided not to treat his illness and went home to wait for death. No one wanted to die, Candice, but there was nothing he could do. But, Oliver wanted to treat Jason no matter what. His affection for his family was far greater than money. At that time, he came to borrow money from you guys, our relatives. I heard from Joanna that Kenneth’s family said they would give him 100 dollars, but they did not do that in the end. He came to you, and you said that you would give him 40 dollars as a monetary gift. Is our relationship as sisters only worth 40 dollars? I worked hard and couldn’t bear to indulge myself all those while, and all of my savings were spent on you. Yet you only paid 40 dollars for my husband’s life? Candice, affections and relationships come and go. Only those who can make an effort will get something in return. You always want to get something without working for it. What qualification do you have now to ask me and Oliver for money?”

Candice’s face turned red before paling, and she became even more annoyed.

Calista added, “If at that time you gave Oliver even a thousand or so out of affection, your situation will be different now. You should be clear about what kind of a person Oliver is. His preferences are obvious to all. He would repay kindness with abundance to the people who were good to him, but he would also punish those who were unkind to him. It’s only because of me that he didn’t deal with you, so don’t you try to be greedy and get money from him anymore! There is no way!”

Seeing Calista had laid out everything in a precise and blunt manner like that, Candice understood that her sister would not lend or give money to her no matter what she said. Candice’s mind froze.
