“Miss Bowman said she would give us money, and here you are, blocking us. How heartless can you be, Mrs. Cole? It’s truly despicable!”
Mrs. Cole suddenly had an idea and raised the price on the spot. “Let me tell you, even three hundred thousand is too little! I wanted to settle things amicably and just take back some of the money. But now it seems I shouldn’t have shown mercy. The renovation of that house, furniture, appliances, they all need to be included. During festivals, my son also buys gifts for your parents. Oh, by the way… Last time your father fell ill and had surgery, wasn’t it my son who paid the one hundred and fifty thousand?”
“After calculating, if we don’t get around one to two million, it’s unacceptable, right?” Mrs. Cole’s words became more and more outrageous.
Coincidentally, Francisco came over.
He came so quickly; he must have been waiting nearby. He greeted Ranita first. “Hello, Miss Bowman.”
Looking at Olivia, he immediately changed his expression. “Olivia, my mom should have explained everything to you, right?”
Olivia coldly snorted, “Francisco, you’re not a man! Is your mom’s opinion also your opinion?”
Francisco looked at Olivia and then at Ranita, but in the end, he didn’t say anything.
“All right! I understand!” Pausing for a moment, Olivia sneered, “Since you’re here too, let’s settle everything.”
“Francisco, you’re just a small company supervisor. When you were a clerk, you couldn’t save a penny after paying rent, socializing, and sending money home every month. You’ve only been a supervisor for two years, making less than half a million a year. Do you have the nerve to say I spent your money? If your money was spent by me, what would you use to buy a house for your parents in the county?”
Olivia wasn’t a pushover either. She was clear about some things, but when she was in love before, she was aiming for marriage. Since she could earn money with Ranita, she didn’t care. Who knew…
“Olivia, don’t deny it! Francisco has a list of expenses!” Mrs. Cole angrily shouted.
“Miss Bowman said she’s willing to help you, why are you making a fuss here?” Mrs. Cole looked at Ranita obsequiously and said, “Miss Bowman, don’t listen to Olivia.”
Ranita felt disgusted. How could there be such shameless people in the world?
“Although I have money, I’m not a philanthropist. We have to clarify the situation, right?” Ranita patted Olivia’s shoulder. “Go on.”
Olivia glared at Francisco, saying, “Francisco, do you even have the nerve to bring up this expense list? The tens of thousands of gifts you bought for my parents, did I not transfer the money to you in the end? I paid for it for the sake of your reputation!”
“After we started dating, you moved into the apartment I lived in. Even a studio in my area costs five thousand. You’ve been living there for two years, totaling one hundred twenty thousand! All the food, drinks, and clothes you have are all provided by me. Just the clothes with brand logos cost over a hundred thousand! Are you even justified in mentioning those furniture and decorations?”
“As for my dad’s surgery expenses, because I was on a business trip, I sent you two hundred thousand over. Did you return the remaining fifty thousand to me?”
“The car I bought for eight hundred thousand, you said you liked it and drove it away. Did I even ask you to pay for it?”
“Every holiday, you buy gifts for my parents, and each time, I’ve doubled it to buy gifts for your family.”
At this point, Olivia choked up a bit, feeling like she had poured her heart out only to be disappointed.
“Francisco, if you really want to settle this account with me, let’s lay out all the expenses and see if you can even pay back the eight hundred thousand I gave you!”
