Chapter 38 You Were Never Worthy of Being My Family
Cherise panicked. “No, not at all.”
“Hmph. I didn’t think so.”
Eriana snorted coldly. “My son acted bravely for justice. He was beaten up because he was saving a child from school bullying. As a woman who sacrifices her body for money, how could you understand his noble behavior?!”
A woman who sacrifices herself for money…
The
way
Eriana described her utterly pierced Cherise’s sore spot.
She’s right. How am I different from women who sacrifice themselves for money?
If not for the fact that Grandma’s treatment cost tens of millions and she had no way out, she would also have looked down on herself.
But…
She took a deep breath. Her initial sweet voice turned cold. “Aunt Eriana, there’s something I don’t know if I should say.”

“Even if I was afraid that you would expose my husband to Grandma and agree to pay for Nicky’s medical fees, please know your place, Aunt Eriana. Since you want my money, you have no right to ridicule me for being a woman who sacrifices herself for money.
The usually soft–spoken girl suddenly said such things. On the other end of the call, Eriana was in a daze.
Eriana gritted her teeth. “Why are you upset after I tried to advise you? I’m your aunt. What’s wrong with me giving you advice?”
“To me, you were never worthy of being my family.” Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
Cherise took a deep breath. “I can give you money, but definitely not one hundred thousand. I can only give you thirty thousand at most. I’ve cared for Grandma at the hospital, so I know Nicky doesn’t need that much for his injury.
“And among thirty thousand, I can only give you three thousand now. Firstly, I just got married. It’s not nice to ask the Lenoir family for too much money.”
“Secondly, if I give you the entire sum now, you might turn around and ask me for other things or tell Aunt Evaline to extort me in the same way. Won’t I be at a loss?”
“Lastly, Grandma is so ill. If you tell Grandma I did such a thing for her, and she falls ill and passes away, you won’t get a single penny from me.”
“Do you understand what I’m saying, Aunt Eriana?”
She spoke rationally and calmly. She was so composed that no one would have expected the usually dumb–looking Cherise to say such things.
On the other end, Eriana had never heard Cherise speak like this.
Eriana was silent for a long time before quickly saying, “When will you give me this three thousand?”
“I’ll go to the hospital to give it to you myself tomorrow.”
Cherise took a deep breath. “Aunt Eriana, just send me the address later.”
After hanging up, Cherise leaned against a large tree in the garden as she panted.
The heavens knew how much effort it had taken her to say such things to Eriana just now!
One of her shortcomings was that her mind couldn’t keep up with the situation.
Like when she was arguing with other people. After the other party unleashed a torrent of abuse on her, her mind would only come to its senses after they left. She would think to herself. I should have retorted like this just now!
After such a thing had happened multiple times, she finally understood that she wasn’t an argumentative or crafty person. Therefore, Cherise avoided conflict and trouble where she could.
What she had said to Eriana on the phone was planned out when she was rejecting Eriana’s calls for the past few days.
Planning it out was one thing, and speaking it aloud was another.
After saying what was on her mind, she felt it had taken up all her energy.
