Chapter 571: Chapter 571: One Word Leads to the Death of the Scarlet

“So, in this family, even if I get hurt, I deserve it, right?” Cindy Clarke choked out.

“No, no! I didn’t say that!” Joshua Clarke immediately denied.

He dared not look into Cindy’s eyes.

“Christy, what do you think?” Joshua looked at Christy Xenos.

“Don’t look at me; I don’t have any money!” Christy immediately said.

She hadn’t even taken money from Cindy—how could she give money out?

“Forget it.” Cindy suddenly said.

Joshua’s heart eased up, only to hear Cindy say, “It’s because my life is cheap. I almost couldn’t survive and committed suicide after that terrible incident. It would have been so much better if I had died then; there wouldn’t be so many problems now, and you wouldn’t be so troubled.”

“At least I wouldn’t have to see it with my own eyes... my parents... not even willing to give me... this little bit...” Cindy sniveled.

“I even doubt if I am your daughter.” Cindy cried, “Am I really that unworthy?”

Joshua’s face turned red from one sentence after another from Cindy.

Cindy spoke again, “Forget it; sweet words can be spoken, right? Just saying a few nice words can make all the past hurt go away. So that’s how it is... that’s how it is.”

“Christy!” Joshua’s face flushed with shame and immediately shouted, “You owe Cindy!”

Joshua’s eyes almost burst from anger.

“Cindy is right! You owe her! You should give back what you owe! You hold onto that 10 million without a guilty conscience? She’s not even asking for much, just 500,000!” Joshua glared at Christy.

Christy’s heart bled.

She really didn’t take the 10 million that Cindy had exchanged!

“Will you give it or not?” Joshua pointed at Christy.

Anyway, he only had 5,000 pocket money every month; he couldn’t give any more.

But he couldn’t let Cindy poke him in the spine!

He didn’t even dare to look at Cindy.

Especially when he heard Cindy accuse him of only saying nice words but doing nothing when it came to practical action.

Joshua flushed with shame.

“Cindy, don’t you have any shame?” Christy furiously scolded.

Cindy wasn’t afraid; she retorted, “But... that money was exchanged by selling me.”

“Out of the 10 million, I only want 500,000. Is that too much? If you say so, the money Wendy uses to support you is also mine. If we really want to be clear about it, then I’m the one supporting you,” Cindy said, her face full of frustration and a pitiful expression.

“So, can’t I even use my own money?” Cindy asked back.

Her innocent look almost made Christy vomit blood.

“That 10 million... that 10 million isn’t yours!” Christy was on the verge of tears.

She finally experienced the frustration of not being able to argue her point.

She had never lost in an argument before.

It was all thanks to her being thick-skinned and making a mess out of everything.

Even without reason, she’d stir up a fight.

Anyone who met someone like Christy would find it hard to argue clearly.

But now, Christy finally experienced that feeling too.

Joshua was now afraid of being poked in the spine by Cindy.

She accused him of only saying nice things but not making up for it at all.

Being told off by Cindy, Joshua felt utterly ashamed.

“You still say that!” Joshua angrily told Christy, “That money was originally Cindy’s; even if we gave it all to her, there wouldn’t be any problem!”

“You wronged Cindy, spent her money, and you still have the right to say anything?” Joshua shouted angrily.

Cindy sneered in her heart, as if Joshua’s words had nothing to do with him.

Of course, they didn’t spend a single penny of their own.

So, Cindy felt no pressure at all.

She intended to take as much as she could.

Even if she took it, she didn’t plan to spend it herself.

She wanted to donate the money.

She was unwilling to spend the money obtained from the Clarke Family.
