Chapter 102 Dig Into Megan’s Life Overseas
Hugh said nothing, staring at her in silence, his lips pressed into a hard line.
The longer he stayed quiet, the more panicked Megan became. At a loss, she stammered, her voice trembling, “You know me. I’ve always valued what we had more than my own life. I would never cheapen our love with money.”
Her eyes flickered with unease as she continued, “After your grandpa forced me to leave the country, I was robbed. It was as if they knew I had money on me. They found the check and walked off with it.
“If I really had sixty million dollars, do you think I’d be this miserable now, without even money for medical bills, having to crawl back here and ask for your help?” Megan spoke quickly, almost stumbling over her words in her desperation.
