“Sounds good.” Anaya filled a bowl of soup and said lightly.
Mrs. Turner said, “You’re clear about your brother-in-law’s condition. He has found a shop. The rent for a year is 50,000 dollars. Now he can only take out five thousand dollars. He still needs 45,000 dollars. You see if…” Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.
“I don’t have money.” Anaya put down the spoon and said, “I am in debt.”
Sarita immediately said. “You don’t have money?! Don’t think that I don’t know. Your current studio gives you a salary of a few thousand dollars a month. You also take freelance jobs. Your salary will go up to five figures after adding everything up. But now, you’re saying that you don’t have money?” “Sarita!” Mrs. Turner scolded, “How can you talk to her like this?”
Sarita tossed her chopsticks and said, “Did I say anything wrong!? I have never seen such an ungrateful person! Back then, how much did Jared suffer because of her? His leg was injured and he was expelled from the school. Yet she is not even willing to give me 40,000 dollars. I have never seen such a selfish person!”
Sarita played the bad cop, and naturally, Mrs. Turner had to be the good cop. She held Anaya’s hand and said, “Anaya, over the past few years, you have suffered a lot to be with Jared. Now your days are good, isn’t it right for you to take care of your sister’s family? You can’t be so cruel!”
“Your little nephew is still so young. The milk powder and diapers all need money! If you don’t help, do
you want to watch the three of them die?”
Anaya had no expression on her face and said, “Since I have been with Jared, I have at least given you 200,000 dollars for your businesses, but you didn’t even succeed once. If you’re not good at running a
business, it’s better to work in an electronic factory instead to support the family.” Sarita slammed the table and stood up. “What do you mean by that?”
Mrs. Turner could no longer maintain her image of being kind. She said, “Anaya, think about it yourself. Don’t you think what you said is sarcastic? Although you haven’t married into our family yet, sooner or later, we will be a family. How can you be so calculative? It’s really disappointing!”
Anaya remained unmoved as she sat on the chair and said, “Even when you bought eggs that cost only a few dollars, you had to make sure that I’d transfer the money to you. Who is the calculative
one?”
“You!”
“Anaya!” Jared, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke. He frowned and looked at Anaya. “Since when did you become like this?”
Anaya was stunned.
Jared said sadly. “You were not like this before. Since when did you become so calculative? Do you have to go against our family for money?”
He took a deep breath and said, “I’m so disappointed in you! I even began to regret what I promised you.
“That’s enough.” Anaya pursed her lips and said, “I don’t have as much as 45,000 dollars. I only have five thousand dollars. It’s the rent for the next quarter.”
“Do you think a mere five thousand dollars is enough?” Sarita immediately shouted. “I don’t believe that you only have five thousand dollars. You just don’t want to give it to me!”
Jared said, “Anaya, I know you have saved money.”
He looked at Anaya and said, “For the sake of my lame leg, just lend it to my sister, all right? When we have money, we will definitely pay it back…”
Sarita shouted, “Lend it to me? We are all a family. Why do you have to make us sound so distant?” Anaya suddenly smiled.
