You’ll Fall for Me, Today or Tomorrow novel Chapter 297

Hilary wore a big sun hat with a face mask to hide her appearance as she headed to a private room in a restaurant surreptitiously.

It was only when she entered the room did she reveal herself, and the ones she was meeting were Judy Bates and her husband.

When the couple saw her coming in, they immediately rose to their feet and greeted her warmly, but she was not having any of it.

With her eyes tinged with contempt and disgust, Hilary spat, “Didn’t I tell both of you to go back to W City? Who asked you guys to come back here? Both of you had caused enough troubles here!”

However, Judy paid no heed to her threatening voice as she replied with a beaming face, “Hilary, let bygones be bygones. Besides, we cause no trouble this time.”

“No trouble, huh? How about the previous car accident? And your child even beat someone into a coma in school! Did you seriously think those were not big issues?”

Judy’s face fell instantly, and she cut to the chase. “These were all in the past, Hilary. It’s almost the end of the year now, and we need some money to go back during the holidays.”

“Money? The last time you asked for money was two weeks ago, for goodness’ sake! Your greed really knows no bound. All these years, I’ve been paying both of you on time every month, and I even gave you extra whenever you needed some emergency cash. I know I owe you a favor, but I’m at my limits. From now on, if you two continue to be so greedy, I won’t even give you a penny.”

“Hey, Hilary. Many goods are getting more expensive nowadays. Besides, things are different now. Twenty thousand is not enough for a month.”

Hilary eyed her suspiciously. “What do you mean things are different now? What are you trying to say?”

Judy paused for a while before answering, “Hehe… I saw your daughter when I was in W City previously. She is gorgeous, Hilary. Even though she is not your biological daughter, she is as pretty as you. And I even heard that she almost married into an affluent family, but unfortunately, that family looked down on her because of her background. What a pity. Hilary, if she weren’t born in a poor family, she would have gotten married to that rich guy and enjoy the rest of her life in fortune.”

As Judy spoke, her chubby face looked somewhat comical with her exaggerated expression and tone of voice.

On the other hand, Hilary’s face turned pale, and she became more horrified as the seconds ticked by.

Seeing the intense fear in her eyes, Judy smirked in satisfaction. “Hilary, don’t you think you should give us more from today onwards? Oh, by the way, I know her contact number and her address. From the looks of it, she is doing quite well now. Do you know that she is living in a villa? I was shocked. Tsk tsk. What a good girl she is. If she knows that she is not a child of a poor family, I bet she’ll hate…”

“Shut up!” A high-pitched yell cut her off all of a sudden.

Hilary gave Judy a death stare, her body trembling with rage.

Flashing her a triumphant smile, Judy sat down, and her husband, who had been keeping quiet all the while, finally spoke up to Hilary.

“That year, ever since my wife helped you to do that terrible thing, she’s been eaten up with guilt and even quitted her job as a nurse. All these years, she’s been wanting to find your daughter and that family to apologize to them. Luckily, I’m always there to stop her. Otherwise, she would have revealed the secret to them a long time ago. I know you’re struggling to earn money as well, and I’m thankful to you for giving us such a great life. Don’t worry, Hilary. We won’t sell you out.” His voice was dripping with sarcasm.

They’re absolutely shameless! Now, they’re just putting on a show where they disagreed with each other. But, ultimately, what they want is to force me to spew out money like an ATM machine. I’ve been living on a shoestring in recent years. If they continue to blackmail me, I don’t think I can tolerate them for long.

Hilary heaved a sigh and held up her hand. “Say no more. I know you want more money. How much do you want?”

Judy’s husband clapped his hands. “Ah, that’s the question we’ve been waiting for, Hilary.”

“Fifty thousand a month,” Judy replied, smiling shamelessly.

“No way!” Hilary rejected immediately.

Seeing her reaction, Judy laughed mirthlessly and stood up. “Forget about it then. Oh, my guilt is killing me. I need to find Ms. Quigley and tell her the truth.”

As Judy turned to leave the room, her husband pretended to pull on her arm to stop her as he knew that Hilary would relent eventually.

“Stop right there!” Hilary shouted, exasperated at their attitude.

As soon as she said that, Judy turned around with a smile and waited for Hilary to say more.

Massaging her temples, Hilary continued, “I’m short of money recently. I can’t give fifty thousand. How about thirty-five thousand?”

“Forty thousand.”

“Fine.”

After that, Judy requested Hilary to do the online transfer on the spot, and their eyes instantly shone with happiness the moment they saw the money in their account.

“Hehe. Thank you, Hilary. This large amount of money reduces my guilt,” Judy said, placing her hand on her chest dramatically.

Scum!

Hilary cursed inwardly.
