Chapter 57
Seeing Dylan’s reaction, Terry immediately knew his suspicion was right. “If you didn’t do it, what are you afraid of?
Dylan stayed silent
Terry snapped, “Why did you do?
Dylan was about to spevk but beldback.
*A small laver earns gratitude, but too much generosity can breed cesentment,” Madison remarked
Terry’s angry expression true as he stared blankly at Dylan. “Are you upset because I didn’t lend you money when you wanted to divorce and marry a younger woman?
at this point, Dylan realized trying to talk his way out would be pointless. Terry wouldn’t believe him anymore.
“All asked for was to borrow a little over 100 thousand dollars. You’ve got plenty of money. What’s the harm in lending me some?
“What’s wrong with wanting a new wife? Your wife is good–looking and is a university professor. My wife is old, ugly, and always sick. Why can’t I find someone better?
“If you had just lent me the money, I wouldn’t have dug up your family’s grave. Out of respect for our childhood friendship, stay away from your parents‘ and grandparents‘
As Dylan spoke, he got angrier and more convinced he wasn’t in the wrong. He blamed Terry for not lending him money. How hard was it for someone rich to lend a little?
Terry stared in disbelief at his childhood friend, who was looking at him with pure hatred
Furious, Ryland jumped to his feet, barely resisting the urge to rush over and punch the ungrateful Dylan
Terry quickly stopped Ryland and pulled out his phone to call the police
The moment Terry called the police, Dylan gaped at him. His face was filled with anger and hatred. “How could you do this, Terry? We’ve been friends since we were kids, and now, you’re sending me to jail. How will you face the people in the village after this?”
Dylan made a huge fuss, acting like he was the victim.
Even after the police showed up, Dylan hollered and made a scene, but he was eventually taken away by them.
After hearing the commotion, the villagers gathered at the scene. After learning what had happened, they tried to persuade Terry to let it slide. They reminded him that Dylan was from the same village, so there was no need to blow this out of proportion
So, Terry quickly pacified the other villagers and cleverly redirected their anger to the Pierre Lamily
Madison was about to end the video call when the police arrived. But since her viewers wanted to see what would happen next, she didn’t.
Only after everything was resolved did she end the video call.
“Some people are like that. The nicer you are to them, the more they push their lock. When you stop helping them, they’ll even hate you for it.”
“That’s how human nature works. We shouldn’t overestinate the kindness people can show, but we also shouldn’t underestimate the harm they’re capable of either.”
After reading the comments, Madison nodded in agreement and said, “We can help someone temporarily, but they can’t rely on us forever. The old sayings really have wisdom.”
The first two winners used up almost two hours, so Madison didn’t waste any more time and reached out to the third winner
The moment the third winner appeared, the viewers were shocked.
To everyone’s surprise, it was an old woman, Judging by the background, she was in a hospital room
“The old woman seriously keeps up with the Em She’s watching a livestream even in the hospital”
“Look at her. She must have been gorgeous when she was young.”
“Hey, you need to rest when you’re in the hospital stop playing with your phone”
Wearing her glasses, GracefulAmie pizzled and quickly covered her mouth, learing she’d alert the people outside.
She whispered, “I’m not playing with my phone. Something came up was planning to consult a mystic arts expert aller getting out of the hospital, but who knew I’d stumble
Even though GracefulAmic was old, she seemed lively and spoke with a firm voice, making it hard to believe she was a patient in a hospital.
Madison gazed at GracefulAmie for a moment before saying, “You grew up as an orphan. You lost your parents young and your husband in middle age. But you have children and grandchildren who love you, so your later years have been quite pleasant.”
GracefulAmie smiled. “You’re right. Things were tough in the first half of my te, but that’s all in the past now!!
At first impression, GracefulAmie had an open–minded and optimistic outlook on life.
