A Whirlwind Marriage with the Beautiful CEO novel Chapter 123

Chapter 123 

“You want to solve the problem? Then hurry up and give us eighty 

thousand! They’re demanding one hundred and sixty thousand. Your 

granny and I dug into our life savings, and we now have a total of eighty 

thousand. Emerson is your mother’s brother, so it’s only fair that she helps 

pay for the remaining eighty thousand!” Hermann said in the most 

matter–of–factly tone possible. 

Alessandra didn’t dare protest even though she had no money. 

Roselynn, on the other hand, was on the verge of exploding with anger. 

Uncle Emerson is nothing but a sc*mbag who indulges in vices like 

drinking, gambling, and fooling around! I wouldn’t even pay one dollar for 

him, let alone one hundred and sixty thousand! He got a woman pregnant 

at the age of twenty–one and married her as a result. After she gave birth 

to Henrietta and Jamison, however, he divorced her with the excuse of her 

gaining weight. He never even bothered to look after his kids after the 

divorce. All he did was leave them with Granddad and Granny while he 

enjoyed his life of vice outside. He even took things to a whole new level by 

trying to make a fortune overseas, only to end up failing and getting 

himself in trouble with the gangsters over there! Serves him right! A 

person like him shouldn’t even be allowed to come back! His mere 

presence is going to pollute the environment here! 

Although Emmanuel felt the same way about Emerson, he had to take his 

mother’s feelings into account as well. “We don’t have any money, 

Granddad. I only make eighty thousand a year, and we’re often strapped 

for cash. Mom wasn’t working before, but she took up a cleaning job to 

help cover some of the expenses. Even then, it still isn’t enough. There 

really is nothing we can do to help.” 

Anyone with a decent amount of self–respect would have backed off by 

then, but Hermann was not one of them. 

“I don’t care! He is your brother, Alessandra! You have to give us eighty 

thousand, or I will disown you! If you don’t have the money, then get it from 

your kids! Roselynn is an adult with no financial commitments, so she 

should have no issues paying eighty thousand!” 

Hermann had set his sights on Roselynn the moment he walked through 

that door. 

While Roselynn did save up quite a lot of money when trying to find 

Emmanuel a wife, she did not feel like handing it over to them. 

Had Emerson not been such a despicable parasite who kept taking from 

them, she probably would have reluctantly agreed to pay up. 

However, that was clearly not the case here. 

“Just think of it as lending us money in our time of need, Roselynn.” 

Hermann only came over because he knew Roselynn could afford to pay 

them. 

He decided to use lending money as an excuse so Roselynn would have 

no reason to refuse him. 

Roselynn’s face burned bright red with frustration. She knew all too well 

that she would surely not get the money back if she lent it to them. 

Seeing as Roselynn was struggling to come up with a response, 

Emmanuel took over and said, “Lending money, huh? Do you know how it’s 

good practice to pay back the money that you owe? Well, you borrowed 

thirty thousand from Mom three years ago to pay off Uncle Emerson’s 

gambling debts. I don’t think you’ve paid Mom back, Granddad!” 

Everyone fell silent after hearing that. 

The truth was, Hermann and his family never intended to pay them back 

at all. 

Even Alessandra didn’t think to ask them for the money, so she was 

surprised to hear Emmanuel bring that up.
