“You kept pestering us to give you money.Why else do you think we are doing here?”
Lauren wiped her eyes, took out a stack of cash from the kraft paper bag, and purposefully handed it to Natalie as all the employees watched them.
Then, she sniffed and began to cry out loud.
“Don’t come to our house asking for money again.We’ve sold all our possessions to give you money.We don’t have anything else to give you.Please don’t force us again. We can’t afford an adopted daughter like you. We have raised you all these years without expecting anything in return.But you can’t treat us this way.We are getting old.”
It looked like the two had come to the Larson Group just to ruin Natalie’s reputation.
Natalie checked the money and realized at least three or four hundred thousand dollars were in the paper bag.
Besides, she had also saved up after selling the things she had got from them in the past.
The money would be sufficient enough to meet Hannah’s medical expenses.
Natalie was thrilled.
Now that she had the money, she didn’t have to worry about Hannah’s medical expenses anymore.
The fake pitiful looks on George and Lauren’s faces disgusted her.
Natalie wasn’t in the mood to talk to them anymore.
“Thank you.lf you don’t have anything else to say, I’d better return to work.”
Seeing that she was about to leave, Lauren hurriedly stopped her.
Natalie tried wriggling out of her hold.
But even before Natalie pulled her hand back, Lauren screamed and fell to the ground.
“How can you do this to us, Natalie? You didn’t bother calling us your parents when I gave you the money.Now, you’ve pushed your mom to the ground. You’re an ungrateful daughter! God will punish you. If you have a conscience, tell everyone how we’ve raised you all these years.But you’ve forgotten all that.Money is all you need.But we have nothing left to give you.Do you want to take our lives? Would that satiate your greed?”
Natalie crossed her arms over her chest and looked at Lauren.
“You have never been nice to me.Now, you owe me money.What are you up to now? All right, go ahead.Bring it on.I’ll see what you can do.”
“You ungrateful bitch!”
Lauren waved her hands in exasperation.She continued to pound the ground and cry, which seemed to garner everyone’s attention.
It was working hours now.
Several employees were walking in and out of the Larson Group.
Hearing Lauren’s accusations, they cast a disgusted look at Natalie.
“Gosh, could she be more greedy?”
“Look at their clothes! Her parents look like they’re struggling to make ends meet.
How could their daughter ask them for money instead of supporting them?”
“It’s said that she is an adopted daughter. How could an adopted daughter ask for money from her parents with such arrogance when she should be grateful for them?”
Natalie turned a blind eye to Lauren’s performance.
Since Lauren didn’t allow her to leave, she used the chance to count the money.
After carefully counting and recounting it, she put the money back and neatly tucked away the bag.
“Well, the sum is correct.But your performance was pathetic.Don’t you feel ashamed to stay here?” she asked, looking into Lauren’s eyes.
Her lips curled up into a smile.
Natalie was glad that she got the money and didn’t care about what anyone thought of her.
“If you’re not tired yet, you can sit down and cry a little longer.I have to give the money to the hospital for Hannah’s treatment right away, so I won’t be able to watch your performance.”
“What? You’re going to leave with the money? That’s your sister’s tuition fee! Your father and I struggle to make ends meet.Do you want us to sell our kidneys to support our family now?”
Seeing that Natalie was about to leave with the money, Lauren raised her voice a decibel higher and shouted, “Your father and I lead miserable lives. We have raised an ungrateful daughter. You are sucking the life and money out of us!”
Just then, Tiffany arrived and was about to enter the company.
A frown lined her forehead when she saw Natalie and the crowd around her.
“What’s going on, Quinn? What are you doing here? Shouldn’t you be at work?”
“Everything is okay, Ms.Fisher.Don’t worry.I can handle it.! want permission to take off from work for an hour or two.I have to pay the medical fee for my family member in hospital.I’ll be back in the afternoon.”
Natalie smiled at Tiffany.
Lauren’s tricks didn’t affect her the slightest.
“Okay, come back soon,” Tiffany readily agreed.
Then, she saw Lauren lying on the ground and frowned.
“What are these two homeless people doing in there? Security! Get them out of here. We don’t want them to affect our work.” With that, she turned around and strutted into the building.
Considering she got Tiffany’s permission, Natalie left.She didn’t want to talk to Bemie and Lauren anymore.She was already running out of time and had to pay for the surgery as soon as possible.
Lauren looked around in embarrassment.
Natalie had left the place, leaving her all alone.
However, she didn’t want to give up easily.
Lauren waved her hands dramatically and began to cry again.
“Natalie treats us like filth.Although we are her adoptive parents, we have always treated her as our own.But she is an ungrateful girl! “ Natalie turned a deaf ear to Lauren’s words.She already hailed a taxi and rushed to the hospital.She didn’t want to waste her time dealing with George and Lauren.
After Natalie left, Lauren slowly got up and left with George.Once they got far away from the Larson Group, George scolded Lauren.No one had ever humiliated him this way.
“We could have just given her the money without playing any tricks.God, it was humiliating!”
However, Lauren didn’t seem to care.
“Oh, come on, George. You should be happy.’m sure our drama would have ruined Natalie’s reputation.Didn’t you see the look on the faces of the people there? They all hate Natalie now.Sooner or later, Natalie will get fired.”
Meanwhile, in the hospital.
Natalie paid the fees and confirmed the date of Hannah’s surgery.
She slumped on the chair and breathed a sigh of relief.
All the worries and quandaries in her mind were cleared, and Natalie finally began to wonder why George and Lauren had returned the money all of a sudden.
She leaned against the railing outside the corridor and called Sebastian.
The heavy rain had awoken the entire city. The trees and greeneries looked lush and vibrant.
The cool breeze seemed to refresh everyone.
