The Author's POV

Chapter 199

Late night.

After returning from her short shopping trip, Emma laid down on her mattress exhausted. With her short brown hair scattered on the bed, Emma scrolled through her phone.

Thinking of something, Emma opened her bank account and checked her balance.

[Account balance : 7,472,060 U]

Seeing the number, Emma ground her teeth and muttered.

"...what a pig"

During her small trip, she had planned on only spending at most 100,000 U. She had not expected herself to fork out 750,000U. This was way beyond the budget she had set herself. In fact, spending 100,000 was already too much for her at the moment.

Normally, she wouldn't have minded.

...but her current circumstances weren't normal.

Looking at how much money she had in her bank account Emma felt bitter.

"How long will this last me..."

She truly regretted betting with Ren. Had she not bet, none of this would've happened.

-Ring!

At that moment, Emma's phone rang.

Checking who the sender was, Emma's face darkened. It was her uncle.

[Hello Emma, how was your day?]

Clenching her teeth, Emma picked up the phone and replied.

[Everything is fine, thank you, uncle]

[That's great, but Emma...]

[Yes]

[Did you go out today?]

Seeing the message, Emma's face contorted to a frown.

'How is that any of your business'

Forcefully trying to calm herself down, she replied.

[Yes, with two of my friends]

Ren was definitely not her friend.

[That's good, but do you still have enough money? I hope you're still not mad at me for blocking your card. With your dad leaving all responsibilities to me, we have to take precautions]

"Bastard..."

At her father's mention, Emma felt truly enraged. Ever since her father caught wind of a secret plot that the Monolith was brewing in preparations to attack Ashton city, as its city mayor, her father had no other choice but to leave and prevent their plans.

This was four months ago.

Right now, with her father gone, her uncle was the one in charge of the family affairs.

He did not like Emma.

With Emma being the direct inheritor of her Roshfield family, her uncle was jealous. He too had a son. However, he was only ten years old.

Given how young he was, he did not stand a chance at inheriting the family's leading position. He was just like him, stuck in his brother's shadow.

How could he tolerate that?
