Night of Destiny (Anastasia and Elliot) novel Chapter 1791

Chapter 1791 Distressed Over Family Finances

When Connor received the phone call, he immediately showed concern. “What? She fell? Is it serious?” “The doctor says that it’s serious. Uncle Connor, can you please loan me some money? I want to treat Grandma’s illness.” “How much do you need? Just let me know!”

“I… I want to borrow 100,000.” Ellen took into consideration that she might need more money later, so she decided to ask for more from the beginning. No matter how tiring it would be, she would definitely work hard to pay back this debt.

“100,000? That’s not a problem. I’ll bring the money over to you right away.” After a few seconds of hesitation, his conscience prevailed.

When she ended the phone call, she heaved a sigh of relief. At this moment, she was delighted to have a rich uncle who could help her during the most difficult time of her life.

Just as Connor was leaving the house, Olivia caught sight of him and hurriedly asked, “Where are you going?”

“Aunt Jessica fell last night and is being hospitalized right now. Ellen lacks the funds for the medical expenses, so I’m bringing some money over to her.”

Olivia’s expression fell instantly, and she immediately probed further. “How much do you plan to give her?”

“100,000.”

“What!? She asked you for 100,000!? No way! The most you can loan her is 20,000. And you must insist that she pays you back,” she declared forcefully.

“How… How can you be so heartless? She is my Aunt Jessica.”

“You have to know that an elderly person like Aunt Jessica will need a lot more money down the road for her medical expenses after suffering from a serious fall. Besides, she won’t be saved even if we spent all that money on her. Why waste our money on something so useless?” After saying that, she continued, “If you help Ellen on this occasion but Aunt Jessica unfortunately passes, she will definitely approach us for money again.”

He was forced to compromise with her. “Alright, I’ll only lend her 50,000 then! It’s not easy for a child like her.” After saying that, he opened the door to leave.

However, Olivia’s anger was not assuaged. She stood there scolding him angrily. “Where are you getting that money from? Our money is for retirement! How can you spend that money so carelessly?”
