The Billionaire's True Heiress From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 1134

Otherwise, their demands would only escalate.

Now that Claire was asking, Lex couldn't hold it in anymore and confessed what was happening at home.

Claire furrowed her brows. "You should tell them that your roommates loaned you the money, and that they expect your mother to pay it back as soon as she recovers, or else you'll be kicked out of the dorm."

"Tell them we loaned you the money for an emergency, not as a charity handout."

"If they refuse to pay it back, call them every few days and relentlessly demand the money."

"You can even time your calls for when you know they have cash on hand, and force them to cough it up."

"Like when your family sells their livestock for the season."

Claire's idea was surprisingly brilliant.

Skye and Zara thought it over and couldn't come up with a better solution.

It was impossible to expect Lex to instantly cut off her own mother.

That was the woman who gave birth to her and raised her!

But letting her family think she was a walking ATM they could bleed dry wasn't an option either.

Skye suddenly had a stroke of genius. "In a little while, call them and say you got sick or had an emergency and need a bunch of cash."

"Cry poverty and beg them for money."

"If you call them enough times asking for cash, they'll realize they can't squeeze a dime out of you and might actually lose money. They won't bother you so easily after that."

Claire and Zara both nodded in agreement.

"Yeah, that could definitely work."

Lex hesitated. "Would that really work?"

Truthfully, she was making decent money now. Ever since the military training had opened up new business opportunities.

She occasionally got requests from other dorms to clean their sneakers.

Some dorms even hired her for deep cleaning.

She had been steadily taking these jobs, building her own little brand on campus.

She heard another struggling student had tried to copy her business model, charging lower rates.
