Freya looked at Grace.
Freya thought of the message sent from Blind Snake in the early morning of the day of the explosion.
Her bastard brother fell in the blood like a dead dog.
"He blackmailed me for a few million. He said he wanted to take his girlfriend on a trip to buy a bag or something. Maybe he was abroad?" Freya pulled away her mother's hand. And her tone was indifferent.
Grace obviously didn't know about it.
She suddenly felt a little embarrassed. "Your brother is still young and a little ignorant..."
"He's 26 years old but still ignorant?" Freya mocked.
Grace didn't dare to look at Freya. Grace frowned. "Freya, your brother didn't leave me any money. I... I'll go to the hospital for chemotherapy tomorrow..."
Freya looked at Grace in front of her.
What Freya thought of was that when she was a teenager, she also humbly asked Grace for money to buy paint.
What did Grace do?
Grace impatiently refused.
Freya begged Grace but received slaps and was scolded as a troublemaker.
The next day, Freya saw that Grace bought a pair of co-branded sneakers for Collier. At that time, this pair of shoes had to be purchased with a price increase, which cost more than a hundred thousand dollars.
And her paint money was not even a fraction of that pair of shoes.
"If you don't have money, don't do it," Freya sneered, "Are you so afraid of death?"
Grace was taken aback.
Grace's hands began to tremble.
"How... How can you do this? I am the biological mother who gave birth to you!"
"Oh." Freya shrugged indifferently. "Then you go and sue me. I will give you as much as the court judges."
Grace stood where she was.
She had long since lost the temper of her early years.
Facing Freya, who had grown up and was stronger than her, Grace was more afraid.
"I only need tens of thousands of dollars. I'll ask for money to pay you back when your brother comes back..." Grace lowered her posture to say.
It was annoying!
Grace looked at Freya.
Grace knew that she was not very kind to her daughter.
But... Grace had to live!
Otherwise, if Grace died, what about Collier? He hadn't grown up yet, hadn't married, and had children...
"I only want 500,000 dollars and use it for medical treatment. And I will never show up in front of you again!" Grace said with determination. She was now penniless and didn't know when Collier would come back.
She was afraid of Freya.
Grace didn't want to come to Freya and ask for money like a beggar every time she received chemotherapy.
"I only have ten thousand dollars in cash now," Freya said indifferently, "You take it first. And I'll collect the rest and transfer it to you."
Grace hesitated for a moment.
Grace looked at Freya vigilantly. "You won't lie and will transfer it to me later, right?"
