Sadie narrowed her eyes and stared at the phone that Khalid was holding in his hand.
There was a breeze, ruffling the hair she used to cover the left side of her face, revealing the big, ugly scar.
For a good while, she pursed her lips and turned around indifferently. "I have nothing to say to him. Next Monday, I will pay back the money."
She ran away without looking back, faster and faster, and in the blink of an eye, she was no longer in the crowd.
Khalid stood there, ended the call. He shook his head and sighed.
Was Master Julian too much, making her so angry? But they can't be blamed as the guy in the Newman family was not yet in control of the full power. The free cash flow in hand was used to collect luxury cars, so there was no way to take out that much money at once.
Even if it weren't for them, the money would have been recovered eventually.
Embezzling public funds was not a joke, and besides, the guy of the Newman family was in Paris with his mistress, how come he could treat Sadie as his girlfriend.
Back to the entrance of the bank, the two managers were warm and courteous in sending out Julian.
Khalid nodded at him, went over to open the door, and waited for him to get into the car before getting in the front seat.
"Is she angry and sad?" Julian pursed his lips. "Wait until I tell you when the wedding is. Also, call the hospital and ask the dean to talk to her personally."
Unless a top international medical team took over the treatment, Dean Esme won't survive more than three months for her current illness.
She was so filial, so she would definitely choose to agree to his conditions without hesitation.
"Understood," Khalid responded and immediately took out his cell phone to call the dean.
Julian leaned back on the chair, raised his hand, and pressed his eyebrows, the temperature under his eyes faded a little.
Otto Newman was so generous to her, what was it for?
Raising his eyebrows, he picked up the Pad and casually asked, "I asked you to look into that kid from the Newman family, have you made any progress yet?"
"Not yet, but he's a bit related to the one from the Read family." Khalid took out his Pad, flipped out the information inside, and handed it over sideways. "The year the cruise ship caught fire, he spent the summer at Read's family house."
Julian took over his Pad, looked down for a moment, and returned it irritably. "Keep checking. I heard that the Read family intends to withdraw their business from City A business and move it here, so pay more attention."
Khalid nodded and carefully put his Pad away.
Julian leaned against the back of the chair again, his long, clean fingers falling onto the Pad's screen, the corner of his lips pursed unconsciously.
How did the scar on the guy's face get there? Was it a burn or a scald?
Thinking of this, he put down the Pad and spoke without any hesitation. "Ted, go back to the hospital, I want to talk to Doctor Rees personally."
"Okay," Ted responded with a smile.
Khalid saw that Julian looked suspicious. He opened his mouth but finally said nothing.
Julian's ease and elegance would all collapse as soon as he met Lady Sadie. This was no secret long ago.
…
The VIP ward on the 23rd floor of the Health Hospital.
Sadie was weakly lying in front of the hospital bed, staring at her cell phone screen.
The bank's customer service also told her that if she was found to have spent the money on someone else again, the donor had the right to demand her full restitution.
She did not understand the relevant laws and did not have time to verify. But in her heart, she hated Julian.
He knew she was short of money and gave it to her but didn't let her spend it, which was merely perverted.
"You can always contact me anytime when you finish thinking about it." Doctor Rees cleared his throat, and on the pretext that he still had to go for rounds, indicated that she should go back first.
Sadie smiled gratefully at him and left feeling lost.
Her mother was still not awake. She didn't know how to choose, lack of money was the main reason, but another was that she didn't dare to talk to Otto again.
At around 7 o'clock, Raya Duncan came to visit. Sadie felt a little tired and went back to the orphanage herself without waiting for her.
She woke up after a muddled sleep, remembered that it was Saturday, and got up excitedly.
Talia Burns said someone would pick her up at 9 o'clock. She specifically instructed her not to wear makeup, nor to bring her cheap cosmetics, so she didn't have to prepare anything.
When Sadie went to brush her teeth, she looked at herself in the mirror and thought of Otto for no reason at all.
He would marry her, right?
The next thought was that she was not even 20 years old, and she couldn't even get a marriage certificate. He couldn't even marry her even if he wanted to, so she laughed at herself for being too anxious.
After cleaned and dressed up, Libby Webb was still asleep, so she went out quietly.
At 9 o'clock sharp, Talia called on time, but instead of telling her how to get to the set, she was informed that the wedding was canceled, so she had to wait for the call.
