President's Naughty Sweetheart novel Chapter 28

Caroline sobbed on the phone for half an hour until Ella promised to find a solution.

She got out of the taxi with her phone in hand. At this time Ella felt like all her blood had been drawn.

Uncle Morris is her stepfather Luke Morris. Caroline married him when Ella was only eight years old.

Luke Morris was nice. The family lived a happy life. Two years ago, Caroline borrowed 100,000 dollars from Ella to open a small shop for the tuition of their son, saying they won't bother Ella for any other fees.

Except the 100,000 dollars, Caroline had never asked money from Ella.

But this time...was a big matter!

Alice came back at twelve o'clock.

Seeing that the light was not turned on and Ella sat alone in the living room, she was startled. She turned on the lamp, "Ella, it's late."

Ella held a credit card in hand. It was the 5 million she was returning to Benjamin. Yesterday he just left without taking it away.

Alice immediately took off her heels, went to the sofa to sit next to her. Her eyes were full of worry, "Ella, what happened? Just tell me."

"My mom called and said Uncle Morris Killed a high school student... and he was drunk-driving!"

"Oh my God, is that your stepfather? Why was he drunk-driving? The whole country is getting very harsh on drunk-driving. He should have known the result of committing it!" Alice frowned and sighed.

"I remembered telling you once that Uncle Morris was a PE teacher. He was a bit strict, but he was responsible. But a schoolgirl made a mistake in the classroom, he punished the schoolgirl for running a long distance. The schoolgirl had a grudge on him and went to the teaching office to say that Uncle Morris was assaulting her sexually. With her friend secretly taking a picture, Morris was fired the next day."

"Uncle Morris lost his job. My mother thought that he could help at our family shop. He had a drink before taking the van to buy the goods. Now, the other side wants a compensation of two million dollars, and Uncle Morris will probably be detained for six months."

At this moment, Alice fully understood Ella. She held Alice's hands, "Ella, things have happened. We can only figure out how to solve. I'll lend you the money!"

"Alice, thank you. I have the money, but if I spend five million in my card, Benjamin and I can't get divorced."

"Didn't you say that five million was given to the gigolo? Why is the money back?" Alice was surprised.

"He returned me the money. And, he's not a gigolo at all! He's the president of our company, my boss." Ella sighed.

"Oh my god! Is that true? It sounds like a novel. Just ignore Benjamin. After all, it's your family. Things must be solved! If Benjamin is determined to ask for five million, we'll collect evidence of his cheating and let the court judge it!"

Hearing her advice, Ella laughed with self-mockery, "Alice, don't forget. We are not divorced now, but I hooked up with another man, too."

"Well, you should settle your family affairs first, and then find a time to talk to Benjamin as soon as possible. It's best to be able to divorce peacefully. I'll lend you the two million dollars if necessary. You can give it to me when you have it."

Ella was relieved. Actually, she wanted to talk to Alice just for the money.

Before Alice returned, Ella had already thought about all the solutions she could figure out.

"Alice, thank you! If I really need to borrow your money then, I'll work hard to pay you back!"
