His Secret Baby: Six Months After Divorce (Mia and Ethan) novel Chapter 292

Chapter 292

That’s none of your business. Give me the money,” Nina said, her arms crossed, making it clear she wasn’t in the nood for small talk.

Aunt May stood up and poured them each a cup of warm water before sitting back down across from them.

I know I haven’t been the best to you over the years, but I’ve cared for so many children here. I raised you two ›nce. Even if there’s no glory in it, there was at least hard work…”

Nina interrupted her. “Do you want to go to prison?”

Aunt May choked on her words.

Cut the crap. If you don’t produce that money today, I’m taking you straight to the police station!” Nina wasn’t iving her an inch of mercy.

Mia’s expression was equally cold and uncompromising.

Let me finish!” Aunt May spoke faster. “The two of you are leaving Northbrook anyway. Just don’t come back. Take care of your own kids. You don’t need to send money to the orphanage anymore, but just leave this money

ere. How about that?”

Nina sneered. “I wouldn’t believe a word you say, not even the punctuation marks.”

Aunt May snapped back, “I can sign a guarantee letter!”

Your word is worthless.” Nina stood up, slamming her cup down on the table so hard the water splashed out.

The droplets on the table reflected her furious face.

Seeing that she couldn’t get through to Nina, Aunt May looked at Mia.

Nina and I need that money right now. You must return it to ensure we can cover our expenses for the next few

‘ears.”

Mia gave her no room to negotiate either. “We won’t stop caring for the children at the orphanage, but that’s only

don’t push us to the brink.”

Aunt May’s face soured. Seeing that neither of them would budge, she decided to play dirty.

The money is gone! Not just today-I’ll never be able to pay it back in this lifetime! If you want to be difficult, go head and call the police!”

The money is gone?

All the savings Mia and Nina had worked so hard for all these years… how could it be gone so quickly?

We know exactly what the orphanage’s monthly expenses are. Who are you trying to fool?”

Nina didn’t believe her for a second. “Fine. Let’s go. To the police station!”

She grabbed Aunt May and dragged her toward the door, heading straight for the station.

The orphanage volunteer was on leave, so Nina took Aunt May to the police station alone, leaving Mia behind to look after the children.

About an hour later, Nina called Mia.

“I got someone to look into it. I checked Aunt May’s account. The money really is gone.”

When they had handed that money to Aunt May, neither of them had expected to get it back.

But there was a massive difference between money being used for a real emergency and being scammed out of it.

Where the money had actually gone still needed to be investigated.

Regardless, even if they sent Aunt May to jail, the money wouldn’t be coming back.

A short while later, Nina returned with Aunt May.

The orphanage still needed her.

“The kids live such a frugal life. Where on earth did she spend all that money?” Nina asked, unable to hold it in on

the drive home.

Clusters of sunlight streamed into the car. As noon approached, the temperature began to rise.

Mia turned on the air conditioning. After a moment of thought, she said, “Over the years, we gave her whatever she asked for. We never paid attention to the orphanage’s specific expenses. We can’t keep giving her money blindly like this.”

The

money was gone, and while Aunt May claimed she wouldn’t ask them for more, Mia had a feeling she would.

‘I have to find out where she spent it,” Nina insisted.

Several hundred thousand dollars. How could an average person blow through that much in just a few days?

As Mia was thinking, her phone suddenly buzzed.

Leo Martinez had sent her a message.

[Ms. Carter, Mr. Hale has made a decision regarding your transfer. Guess how he arranged it?]

Mia’s eyelid flickered. She replied: [How?]
