Chapter 50
“Bring me the money first. As for the future, I can’t say for sure. It depends on my mood,” Rita replied to Jasmine in a casual tone.
“Rita, you’d better not go too far.” For the first time, Jasmine felt that she had been blind before and honestly thought that Rita was a doormat in the past. But now she realized that Rita was actually a hungry wolf under a sheep’s skin.
“Have I? Then, do you want me to try harder? Jasmine, my patience is limited. You must give it to me today, or the consequences will be borne by yourself.”
With these words, Rita walked away, leaving Jasmine glaring after her, but there was nothing Jasmine could do. (This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com)Where would she get the 100,000? Jasmine took her bag of jewelry to a pawnshop and barely managed to scrape together 50,000. However, she was still 50,000 short, and when she was at a loss, a man suddenly called out to her. “Girl, how about a loan?”
“A loan?” Jasmine suddenly brightened up. “How do I do this? How much can I borrow at most?”
The man smiled and said, “This will depend on your needs. No matter how much you require, we can solve your urgent needs.”
Thank God! The heavens have heard my plea and sent me an angel in disguise!
Jasmine followed the man to find out about borrowing money. When she returned to school, she threw the bag of cash containing 100,000 directly in front of Rita. “Here’s 100,000 for you; don’t come to me again.”
Rita was surprised to see that Jasmine had gotten 100,000 for her in such a short time, but she still accepted the bag. “Thanks. If you need my help again, feel free to look for me.”
Jasmine clenched her fists; she was very unwilling to give up the money, but she still maintained a smile on the surface. “Let me tell you that this is the last time. You’d better hope I don’t have dirt on you in the future.”
With these words, Jasmine turned around and walked away.
Rita held the bag of money, then put it away. Later, she took it to Elise and said, “This
is what she gave me, Elise. I also did what you said, so can we just write it off between
us?”
Elise did not even look at the bag of money as she smiled coldly. “Don’t worry. I am a woman of my word. I can let the grudge between us off, but from tomorrow onward, you should not go to school anymore. This 100,000 will be your travel expenses, and don’t come back in the future.”
Hastily, Rita refused her suggestion. “No, I can’t take this money. I will ask my father to transfer me to another school, so don’t worry.”
Elise sized her up, feeling that the girl in front of her still had some conscience, after all. However, things were no longer under Rita’s control; according to Jasmine’s nature, although the money was given to Rita, she might do something to Rita in the near future.
“Jasmine is not someone who will give up easily. Take the money and just save yourself.”
With that, Elise felt that she had done her part in reminding Rita and her conscience was clear. Next, it was time to settle accounts with Jasmine. For two days in a row, Elise did not go to school, and Jasmine did not notice anything wrong. She thought that Elise was still locked up in a dark room in the mountains, so she relaxed and prepared for the Chinese Week’s public speaking competition.
The Chinese Week’s public speaking competition was crucial, as there would be many college professors hidden among the audience to spot good candidates for the next year’s cohort of freshmen. Thus, it was no secret that this was why there were so many people who wanted to participate in this competition.
The venue for the Chinese Week’s public speaking competition was booked to be held in the city’s largest gymnasium, gathering teachers and student representatives from all the city’s famous high schools.
As Jasmine looked at the teacher’s back, her gaze deepened. Will Elise even be able to come to the competition? It all depends on her luck. In fact, Elise is probably still shivering in the cold.
