Dumping Him for His Uncle (Natasha and Zachary) novel Chapter 59

If Faye had truly been eaten up by guilt, she wouldn't have waited until now to meet Natasha.

Faye downed the rest of her drink in one gulp, then laughed.

"How about we make a deal?"

Back when Nicole had pushed Faye into hurting someone, she had paid her ten thousand dollars.

Ten thousand dollars wasn't much to Nicole, but for Faye, it was enough to cover all her university expenses.

If Natasha had the means to offer her something back then, things might have turned out differently.

"I'm sorry. I'm not interested in making deals with people like you," Natasha said flatly, rising from her seat.

She turned to leave, but Faye suddenly dropped to her knees with a loud thud.

"I know I made a mistake. Since I was wrong, I'm willing to accept any punishment that comes my way," she hurriedly said.

After some pressing, Faye finally explained herself.

Her mother had fallen gravely ill back in the countryside. Now, she was hospitalized in Cendale's best hospital.

There was hope for a cure, but the daily expenses were crushing her whole.

"If it wasn't for my mother raising me and getting me out of that place, I'd have never even glimpsed the kind of life I have now," Faye said, her voice thick with emotion.

She wasn't going to give up on her mother. And right now, she needed a lot of money.

"Do you want me to help you blackmail Nicole?" Natasha asked bluntly, getting right to the heart of the matter. After all, the only leverage Faye had was the dirt she held.

It wasn't like they were close enough for Faye to just come begging for money.

"Exactly. Nicole isn't nearly as smart as you are. And are you telling me you don't resent her even a little after everything?" Faye said.

Faye tried to stoke the fire, but if Natasha had really been that bitter after all those years, she would have already taken action herself.

"I know that the real reason you stayed with Matthew all those years is because you thought he was the one who saved you," Faye said.
