A Trust-fund Baby novel Chapter 13

“Well, our lawyers said we won’t send you into the prison, as long as you pay the price. Just transfer thirty thousand dollars to this account. Let me know if you finish the transfer so that I can inform our lawyers,” The shop assistant said after hanging up.

But Sally winced again. “Well…well, sweetie, I don’t have enough money. Could you please wait for me to get enough money? I…I promise to pay…Really, trust me, I’ll pay for it.”

The shop assistant sneered, “Madam, are you kidding? The police will be here in half an hour, and it’s not too late for you to choose to stay in the prison.”

Sally hastily took a bank card out of her pocket and said, “Sweetie, please, please, please don’t. I’ve got thirteen thousand dollars in this card. I’ll get someone to give you the rest money at once…Trust me. I’ll pay for it…”

Sally hastily called her friends to borrow money, but no one was willing to lend her money…

Sally was disappointed to find her girls are fake friends who were unreliable…

After hesitation, she had no choice but to call Diana, “Sweetheart, this is mommy speaking. I’m trapped in some trouble. Can…can you come to Wanda Plaza now…Hurry up. Be safe.”

Sally dared not to tell Diana the truth as she was afraid that Diana would be irritated, so she quickly ended the call before telling Diana too much. Although Diana was ill, she hastily changed her clothes and rushed to Wanda Plaza…she went there alone by taxi as she didn’t want Lucrezia and Rosy to come along with her.

Diana trembled with anger after hearing the shop assistant’s explanation, her tears trickling down, her hand covering her mouth.

Suddenly, Diana slapped her face for three times…even her hair came loose, which shocked the shop assistant and the crowd.

“Mom, what the heck are you doing? Do you think my money all fell from the heaven? Why would you want to ruin our life?” Diana said in tears.

Sally didn’t dare to look at Diana’s eyes as she lowered her head to show her guilt. She knew Diana’s heart was broken though Diana didn’t beat her.

Diana inhaled deeply and walked up to the assistant. She bowed to her and said remorsefully, “I’m so sorry. Please give me an account so that I can transfer the money…”
