The Ultimate Reborn Heiress (Scarlett) novel Chapter 295

Chapter 295 I Want Compensation

As Jessica kept yelling outside, the commotion had already drawn the attention of the neighbors living around the Sanchez Residence.

Several people stepped out of their houses to see what was happening.

When they saw it was Jessica making another scene, more neighbors walked over and gathered around.

Some of them could not help standing up for the Sanchezes.

Jessica, what are you doing? Why are you yelling at the Sanchezes again? Your grandson was the one who shoved that kid into the river and then refused to admit it. There’s video proof, and the police already ruled on it. The child’s parents didn’t even ask your family for compensation, which is already more kindness than you deserved. So why are you still coming here and blaming the Sanchezes?”

The reason no one asked for compensation was simple. The Boones could not afford to pay it anyway.

The Boone household only had Jessica and her grandson, Luke, left.

Most homes around the town were two–story houses.

Some of the wealthier families had even built large new houses.

Only the Boone family still lived in a small single–story place.

The neighbors continued trying to reason with her.

“Exactly. Everyone around here knows what happened.”

“Jessica, you should stop this. Your grandson is almost 15 anyway. Since he got expelled and no one is sponsoring him anymore, he might as well go get a job.”

“Luke’s a teenager now. He should be earning money and helping take care of you. You spoiled him too much, and that’s why he turned out this way.”

Another neighbor chimed in, “That makes sense. You’re getting older, and someone needs to take care of you. You don’t have a son or daughter–in–law around, so your grandson should start stepping up.”

“And you keep coming here to cause trouble. Hendrix inherited Patrick’s medical skills. What if one day you get sick and he refuses to treat you?”

In the past, because of Scarlett, the neighbors had not thought very highly of the Sanchezes.

Back then, rumors about Scarlett had been everywhere. Even people around the town had heard some of them.

But things had changed. Hendrix now treated people around the town, and his care was both convenient and affordable.

And when Scarlett saved that child by the river, everyone saw it. She stayed underwater for five minutes and pulled that child back from the brink of death. That was the same child who had been pushed into the

river by Jessica’s grandson.

After that, many neighbors started looking at the Sanchezes differently.

So when Jessica showed up and started causing trouble, some people naturally stepped in to defend them.

When Jessica heard the neighbors speaking like this, she immediately started shouting at Hendrix.

“He’s a doctor. If I’m sick, he can’t just ignore me. He has to treat me. That’s basic medical responsibility.

“And the Sanchezes are all terrible people. They know my grandson, and I only have each other, yet they still blew this whole thing up.

“And that Leona isn’t any better. She was sponsoring my grandson just fine before, and now she has suddenly stopped because of this. She’s just as heartless.

“I don’t care. The Sanchezes have to compensate us. Leona used to give my grandson 1,000 dollars every month. Now the Sanchezes need to give us one thousand dollars every month, too.”

At that point, it became obvious what Jessica really wanted.

She came to demand money, since Leona cut off Luke’s sponsorship.

Leona did it because she did not want Luke’s reputation to drag her name down.

So she stopped supporting him.

That was how the Boones lost that 1,000 dollars every month.

For Jessica and Luke, that money mattered a lot.

Jessica had no way of going into the city to confront Leona. So she kept coming to the Sanchez Residence to make a scene. It was all because of money.

The neighbors were so irritated that they started laughing.

“You old lady, you keep coming over here every few days. Turns out it’s all about money. And you still refuse to admit your grandson pushed that child into the river. That’s shameless.

“And you dare call Leona heartless. She helps so many struggling families around the town. And she supports a lot of elderly people who live alone

“She even sends people with supplies to check on them regularly. Those are truly good deeds.

“If she refuses to sponsor your grandson, it’s because your grandson is a bad kid.”

Someone else added, “To be fair, ever since Matthew got together with Leona and made money, they’ve done quite a bit for this town.

“They even paid to pave one of the roads here. The two of them haven’t forgotten where they came from.

“Even though Matthew divorcing Daphne wasn’t a great situation, both of them seem to have found the right people now.”

Then someone lowered their voice. “But I heard from the town committee chairman’s daughter that Scarlett has been pretty ruthless online toward the Baileys. She even argued with her own father and stepmother. And people say she watched while her stepsister was forced into a ghost marriage.

“Really? We don’t really go online much, so we never heard about that.”

“I don’t know what happened. Maybe she thinks Matthew became successful but doesn’t take care of her.”

“But Matthew did bring Daphne to a rehabilitation hospital in the city back then. He also brought Scarlett to the city to go to school. He did quite a lot already. Scarlett is all grown up now, yet she doesn’t seem to appreciate any of it. And recently she even brought Daphne back here. That’s really immature.”

Soon, several people started whispering quietly among themselves, discussing the Baileys and Scarlett.
