Twin Treasures: The CEO Wife's 99-Day of Revelations

Chapter 638: Chapter 638: Her True Feelings

”Did you do it on purpose?” Barbara Sutton’s fingers suddenly clenched, ”Did you purposely buy a cake to celebrate my birthday and then trick me into talking? Did you deliberately go to Aethel Falls to provoke and tell President Lane you would pursue relentlessly?”

”Barbara, there’s no need to be so excited.” Monica Usher’s lips curled slightly, speaking in a relaxed tone, ”It’s not as complicated as you think. Aethel Falls is now a tourist spot, receiving many visitors every year. Why can she go, and I can’t?”

Barbara was at a loss for words, but she trusted her instincts, ”...” She felt very sad and heartbroken.

In this silence, Monica Usher spoke again, ”Do you have anything else? If not, I have to be busy.”

Barbara hung up the phone, stood on the balcony for a long time, and felt uneasy inside.

She had changed... turned so unfamiliar.

She considered her a friend because she had once helped her, both in work and life.

But... the matters of the two big companies, someone like Barbara Sutton didn’t want to get involved.

Barbara reminded herself to stay away from her from now on.

Quickly pay back that 250,000!

Back at the deputy general manager’s office, her mind was still a bit foggy. She approached Hailey Hale, ”...”

”Do you need something?” Hailey Hale raised her eyes, calmly meeting her gaze.

Barbara Sutton hesitated to speak, ”...” As if she had suffered a heavy blow.

”Just say it.” She was straightforward, ”What’s wrong with you?”

”Can you... lend me 50,000 yuan?” Barbara Sutton didn’t think much, ”I’ll pay you back in installments after I get paid.” She also felt quite embarrassed.

Hailey Hale was momentarily stunned, it was the first time anyone asked her for money!

”Sure.” After the initial shock, Hailey didn’t refuse and asked, ”Can I transfer it via WeChat?”

Barbara Sutton was also surprised, she actually agreed! Without asking for a reason?

”Sure.”

Then they added each other on WeChat, and Hailey Hale transferred 50,000 to her without another word and added, ”Is 50,000 enough?”

Initially meant as concern, but the fact that she could so easily take out that much money and ask if it was enough again made Barbara feel the disparity between people.

”It’s enough, thank you.”

When she clicked to accept the transfer, Barbara immediately rearranged the funds in her account and immediately transferred 250,000 to Monica Usher.

Monica stared at the notification for a long time and then let out a cold, sarcastic laugh before putting away her phone and walking away.

Why is Barbara Sutton so naive?

Does she want to sever ties in this way?

What happened to the gratitude for the life-saving help?

In the afternoon.

Hailey Hale went out for a bit; since she only passed the first driving test and hadn’t received her license yet, she had to take a cab. She went to the cake shop and bought a box of banana milk.

”Thank you for messaging me!” She didn’t forget to thank them once more before leaving.

”No problem.” The shop assistant smiled brightly, ”We only stock banana milk once a week. It’s really popular, but you’ve asked us many times, so we kept some for you.”

”Thank you!” She was very happy.

Taking a cab back to Kingston Group, she lugged the heavy box of banana milk into the elevator.

After going upstairs, she entered the president’s office and placed the box on Finn Morgan’s desk, ”Thank you for saving my life! I have nothing to repay you with, but this is a small token of my appreciation, and I hope you accept it.”

Finn Morgan looked at her, then at the box of milk, ”That’s it?”

”What else?” The girl clapped her hands and put her hands on her hips, ”This is just a sudden realization of my conscience, a little compensation for you!”

”Oh, so your life is only worth this little?” Finn Morgan smiled, ”After all, it was a life-saving favor.”

”What else do you want? Don’t push your luck?”

Finn Morgan’s interest was piqued, ”Specifically what, I haven’t figured it out yet. I’ll let you know when I do.”

”Alright then!” She spun around and left to continue watching her drama!

At Aethel Falls, sunlight streamed down through the gaps between the leaves, dappled over the flagstones and grass. The wooden house...

The sound of trickling water outside the house always had a calming effect.

All the designers from Kingston Group were gathered in a wooden house. It was a bit cramped; some people sat on cushions on the floor, others leaned against the walls. The door was tightly shut.

Warm sunlight streamed through the windows, filling the room with warmth.

They were having a meeting.
