Chapter 11 It Was You?
In the café… “This is three million in cash, I know you need the money. Once you take it, please make sure you disappear from Benny’s life, you are not the right one for him.”
The woman was none other than Ben’s mother – everything about her appearance told Jean that she was wealthy. Three million in cash, stored in a plastic bag was placed on the table in the middle of the café.
Jean stirred the cup of coffee in her hands as she let out a casual smile, “Ma’am, I believe there is a misunderstanding. My relationship with Ben isn’t what you think it is.” “Oh? Does that mean you won’t take the money?”
The woman raised her brows, “What do you mean there is a misunderstanding? You moved in together. Listen, you will take this money, whether you like it or not. If you insist on seducing Benny, you will be sorry for your actions.”
The woman made sure to foot the bill before she left, just so she could rub the insult in.
Jean barely managed to drag the bag of money, weighing just under a hundred pound, out of the café.
She scoffed at herself ironically as she had never imagined that she would be on the receiving end of an insult because of money.
At that thought, Jean gathered every strength in her body and hurled the bag into the air, making it rain notes in the middle of a busy street.
“Money! It is raining money!”
“Hurry up and grab the money! Don’t let the notes get wet in the rain!”
The crowd swarmed in to pick the money off the ground as some sized her up judgingly, “She must be out of her mind! Why would she throw money away!”
“She looks familiar to me. Isn’t she the ex-wife of the CEO of Royden Group?! The one whose father just died, and company went bankrupt!”
“Who cares? Just get the money! We’ll need it, and she can earn it back with those looks anyway!”
Whispers of criticism filled Jean’s ears, and she had almost let it get into her head.
Even though she had made Edgar look bad at Luminance Club earlier, it did not come without some recoil damage.
