After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back (Aveline and Lucas) novel Chapter 981

Gorden and Tracy exchanged a glance.

Now that their true intentions had been exposed, there was no need to keep pretending.

Gorden’s expression hardened as he spoke bluntly, "Since you already know, it’s simple—you, as the older sister, should help your brother. Give us sixty thousand dollars to pay his debt, and we won’t make a fuss about you not taking care of us."

Maria burst out laughing as if she’d just heard the punchline of a great joke. She turned to Sidney, "Isn’t this hilarious? They abandoned me at an orphanage because I was a girl, and now they come crawling back asking for money."

Sidney’s face grew cold as he listened. He hadn’t known about Maria’s past, and hearing it now left him angry on her behalf.

After a moment’s pause, he said, "We can call the police. You can report them for abandonment."

Maria blinked in surprise. "Why didn’t I think of that? Let’s do it."

"Alright," Sidney responded, pulling out his phone and swiftly calling the police.

Gorden hadn’t expected things to take this turn. Not only did Maria refuse to give them any money, but now she was going to call the cops on them!

"Ungrateful wretch!" Gorden spat angrily, rolling up his sleeves like he was ready to fight. "I should’ve drowned you the moment you were born. You’ve done nothing but bring me bad luck!"

Tracy quickly stepped in to stop him. "Gorden, stop it! What are you saying? That’s our eldest daughter! Don’t be rash. Let’s talk this through."

She turned to Maria, her face full of false concern. "Mary, apologize to your father. He’s just upset. He doesn’t really mean it."

Maria watched them, unimpressed. "What a shame you two didn’t end up in show business. You’d make quite the duo."

One played the bad cop, the other the good cop, all in a pathetic attempt to win her over.

But their plan had failed.

At that moment, the security team arrived and quickly restrained Gorden and Tracy.

"How did you even get in here? You’re coming with us!" one of the guards said as they dragged the two away.
