Chapter 276: Scam or Charity?

Yunice didn’t turn her head as she said, “They will lose what they care about most.” Revenge made people regret a lot over the long years.

When she left the hotel, a Maybach was parked outside. Yunice walked over and saw it had Wyatt’s license plate. But it wasn’t Wyatt who came; it was Jordan.

“Mrs. Cooper, Wyatt asked me to pick you up,” Jordan said as she got into the car. “He told you to go to bed early and not wait for him.”

Yunice asked, “What kind of business takes so long?”

Jordan smiled. “If you want to wear a crown, you must bear the weight.” Just because he was financially free didn’t mean he could lie down and relax.

On the way back to Pavilion Hall, Jordan didn’t stop talking. Yunice ended up talking more to him than she did to Wyatt.

After getting home, Yunice finished washing up, and the servants were well-behaved, even making her a late-night snack. While eating, Yunice thought for a moment and decided to give Wyatt a call. Wyatt answered.

Yunice advised him to drink less. Wyatt replied, “That’s not something I can do.” Yunice didn’t speak. Wyatt paused and then said, “I’ll try.”

After hanging up, Yunice went to bed. She didn’t quite understand the way Wyatt indulged her. He didn’t seem like the kind of person who listened to his wife. She also thought that maybe he was just humoring her. One day, when he didn’t feel like pretending, his true nature would show. But it didn’t matter, at least for now, his status was useful.

Then, Elsie called and angrily said, “I’ve already transferred the money to you, keep it and buy yourself a coffin!” The more she thought about it, the angrier she got. “Haven’t you ever seen money? Always finding ways to scam money from your family!” Last time, the jadeite bracelet scammed her 4.1 million dollars, and now it was 1.1 million dollars!

Yunice laughed, “Of course, I want money because you don’t have any. Oh, and you didn’t know, right? Paul’s father froze his bank cards. He might not be able to help you pay back the money anytime soon.”

“What?” Elsie shrieked.

Jensen was too ashamed to show his face these days, and Jackson didn’t even have anyone in charge of the Northvale project. To force Paul to return home and toughen him up, Jackson cut off all of Paul’s funds. If he didn’t return soon, he might starve to death abroad.

Yunice said, “Isn’t it funny? Such a grown man, still relying on his family. The moment his card gets frozen, he has to obey.”

Elsie unwillingly said, “You’re relying on a man, what kind of ability is that?”

“Isn’t that what I learned from you?” Yunice said.

Elsie was so mad that she hung up. Yunice then received a thank-you call from the welfare center; the 1.1 million would be used to charity. They specifically thanked Yunice for her contribution to improve the living conditions of the children at the welfare center.

Yunice exchanged a few pleasantries before hanging up. She didn’t want Elsie’s dirty money; this was perfect for charity.

Elsie didn’t expect Paul to return so quickly. In the middle of the night, Oscar was in his room lamenting, and Owen was so drunk he didn’t know what was going on. No one noticed Paul sneaking into Elsie’s room through the window.

Elsie was almost scared to death, and Paul covered her mouth to prevent her from screaming. After Elsie calmed down, Paul sat on her bed and said, “I came to find you as soon as I got off the plane. I’m hungry, is there anything to eat?”

Elsie made him some noodles. After Paul finished eating, Elsie climbed into his arms, “Paul, I love you so much… After you got married, I’ve been lying awake every night in pain.”

Looking at her broken expression, Paul’s heart softened. He felt that the only person who truly cared for him was Elsie. Love surged in his heart, and Paul immediately pinned Elsie down on the bed, and they had sex.

Wyatt hadn’t returned all night. Yunice still had to go to the construction site the next day. Yunice intended to call Wyatt to show concern, but thinking he might be sleeping somewhere, she only sent him a message. Two hours later, Wyatt still didn’t reply.

At that time, the boss who had met Wyatt the day before paced outside the temporary office. He had walked around for a long time but still hadn’t seen Wyatt come. He did, however, see Yunice. He pulled a project worker he recognized and whispered, “Who is that woman?”

When he learned that Yunice was just a surveyor, the boss frowned and whispered, “Is there any way we can kick her out of the project?”

“Not to bring it upon yourself.”

The boss touched his nose and didn’t dare to bring it up again.
