Chapter 226
In Linstead of Rozalia.
The waters of all rivers flow into the great sea.
The Quadmart Group was located near Durmond River.
The car had been driving for a while, and people sitting inside could see the bridge through the windows.
As the car sped up, Davian finally realized that something was wrong. He clung to the passenger seat nervously and fearfully.
He said in a trembling voice, "My good daughter, you can't do anything stupid. Look at you now. You're successful and beautiful. It's a great loss to die with me. We can discuss the money, and you should value life."
Serena sneered.
Davian was afraid of death, but he was right.
It was a great loss for her to die with him.
Serena hadn't even watched her child grow up. Why should she die with the scumbag?
Her grandmother had raised her by picking up scraps. It was not worth it for her to die with Davian.
Otherwise, she would be letting herself down, and even more so, and she would disappoint the person who raised her.
Serena would cherish her life.
She would not give him the money.
Serena didn't say anything else. Perhaps Davian, who was sitting in the back, was really afraid that she would do something stupid, so he finally shut his mouth with a vigilant expression. Half an hour later, the car arrived near a residential area.
It was dark now. And the lights were turned on earlier in Rozalia than in other cities.
The residential area was much older than the skyscrapers in the city center. Each building had six floors without elevators.
Those who stayed here were basically tenants or some old people guarding their old residences.
Serena rented her first house here after joining the Quadmart Group.
At first, she shared the house with others, and she lived in the smallest room.
Later, when her roommate moved away and she accidentally got pregnant with John's baby, Serena rented the small two-bedroom apartment.
When her job was secured, she moved to a place closer to the company, but she did not return the rental.
It held many memories of her pregnancy with that child, and it was hard, yet it was the only time she spent with that child.
Serena couldn't bear to return the rent and leave, afraid that she wouldn't be able to remember the time she spent with that child.
Three years ago, the landlord's family had planned to go overseas and informed her to move out and sell this house. Serena thought about it and decided to buy the house at the market price of a second-hand house.
At that time, her grandmother had just passed away. Davian threatened her to not let her grandmother be buried, so Serena gave him a sum of money and signed an agreement to give him money monthly. Only then was her grandma buried.Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
After Serena bought this house, she didn't have many savings left. She even owed her friends some money.
Fortunately, she was well paid and got many benefits in the Quadmart Group. The year-end bonus and usual bonuses allowed her to quickly take root in Rozalia.
Serena bought this car last year. She used John's connections to buy a used car of good quality, which cost only 50 thousand dollars.
However, even if she really sold the car as Davian said, it would not be enough to repay his gambling debt.
Besides, Serena didn't want to help him pay the debt.
If it weren't for the fact that she was young back then, she wouldn't have let him control everything and signed the agreement.
"I'll take you to dinner first. Tonight, you'll stay in the house I rented, and you will buy a ticket and leave tomorrow. I'll transfer the money to you every month according to the agreement. Don't even think about the extra money."
Serena didn't mention that she had already bought this house.
After parking the car, she brought Davian to a nearby restaurant and did not say much to him.
Davian followed behind her. He was a little afraid of Serena, but when he thought of his debt, he could not help but speak, "My dear daughter you can't be so ruthless. If I don't pay the debt, the lenders will beat me up. You can't just watch your father be beaten to death
"Then you're wrong."
Serena laughed lightly, her cold eyes landing on the man in tattered clothes. "If you die, I'll be the first to buy fireworks to celebrate."
"You!"
"What about me?"
Serena interrupted him with a cold expression, ignoring the tenants who were coming and going from work.
"All these years, haven't you taken
enough money from me? I gave you
60 thousand dollars just for Grandma's burial. I didn't miss a single cent of your monthly living expenses. How much more money do you want to take from me? Do I have to hand over every cent I earn to you?"
Davian looked embarrassed, but there was no guilt on his face.
Although he did not say anything, his expression showed that Serena should pay the debt for him.
Serena had long seen through Davian and did not have any illusions about him.
"Davian, not to mention that I've already fulfilled my duty as a daughter all these years, even if I don't give you a single cent, I'm not wrong in doing this.
"Grandma was the one who raised me. But you beat me and forced me to drop out of school with a stick so that your son could study. You even pointed at my nose and scolded me for wasting money on studying.
"It was my teacher who brought me back to school. It was the state subsidy that waived my tuition fees. It was my grandmother who sold plastic bottles and scrap paper to pay for my living expenses. What did you do as a father?
"You hid my admission letter. If it weren't for the fact you couldn't fake it, would you want your son to go to university with my admission letter?
"When you were in debt, you thought of me. Why? Where's your beloved son? Is he dead?"
When the passers-by heard this, they couldn't help but look at Serena with sympathy.
However, it was not their business, and they couldn't offer help.
But those gazes were so piercing that Davian could not raise his head.
He felt very embarrassed, and his voice became much softer.
"Don't you know your brother? He can't even get enlisted by a university, and he didn't even find a good job after graduation. Besides, he wants to get married. His girlfriend asks for a car and a house. How car I ask him for money?"
"So don't I have to repay the loan for this car? I don't have to buy a house? Why should I pay the debt for you, who almost ruined my life?"
Serena asked in amusement.
Davian said self-righteously, "Why
would a woman need a car and a
$129
house? You can just get married and have both. There are so many rich people in Rozalia, and you're beautiful. You do not have to worry about the rest of your life if you
marry a rich man."
Under Serena's cold gaze, Davian dared not speak loudly.
Davian had wanted to say that it would be better for her to find an old man. And when the man died, all his assets would be theirs.
However, he did not say it out loud.
Davian rubbed his hands and smiled apologetically, "I'm just joking. How can rich people take a fancy to us? But my good daughter, you're not young anymore. You have to consider your marriage. Do you still remember the fruit shop in our town? You can..."
"It's not too late to buy a ticket now. There's a train leaving at 10 tonight. I advise you to go back to where you came from."
Before he could finish speaking, Serena interrupted him coldly.
