Chapter 70


    "Howard had an affair."


    Coralie Chariott lowered her head, but she seemed indifferent.


    "Oh. Fortunately, Andrew didn''t cheat on me." Josephine Lowell let out a long sigh and she seemed


    relieved.


    Coralie noticed that Josephine was still wearing the coat that she had when she was in college, which


    showed that her current situation was simr to her previous situation. She should have been able to


    find a decent job if she hadn''t wasted those years.


    "So the reason you came to me today is... to talk about the old days?"


    Coralie didn''t mind talking about the old days with Josephine, but Josephine seemed like she had


    something to discuss with her. However, she seemed embarrassed to speak about it.


    Seeing that Coralie brought up the topic, Josephine, who was a little embarrassed, said, "In fact, I


    wanted to ask you to lend me some money. You know that Andrew and myself are from outstation. We


    don''t have any friends in A City... We only know Howard and you."


    "Well, how much money do you need? What is it for? Actually, I have just divorced Howard and I don''t


    have much money."


    In fact, Coralie had already guessed this. Josephine was so anxious to meet her, in order to borrow


    money from her.


    "I know, Coralie. In fact, I have no other options. You know, Andrew and I have a tough life... anyway,


    he recently found a way to make money, but we don''t have any start-up money."


    Speaking of this, Josephine''s eyes lit up.


    However, when Coralie heard this, she knew that there was something wrong. "Tell me the details."


    How could there be such good things in the world? It was probably a scam.


    "We are actually investing in rare metals. There are professionals guiding us..." Josephine exined


    briefly to her. In order to persuade Coralie, she took out her cell phone and showed her the information.


    "We have already made some money. In fact we have also cashed out some of our earnings. Look, this


    is our earnings fromst week."


    Coralie saw the text message from the bank. Indeed, it said that money was transferred.


    However, themon operational procedures of these scams were easy withdrawal of money at the


    beginning. Once the invested amount became bigger, the problems will start appearing.


    "Josephine, here''s the thing." Coralie thought for a moment and tried to phrase her words in a


    euphemistic manner. "If you have difficulties with your life, I can lend you some money, but I have


    limited funds as well. We are friends, and it''s alright for me to lend you a few thousand dors, but if..."


    "Coralie, I know that you think this is a scam, like the Ponzi scam, but Andrew said that we will not be


    cheated, as long as we are not thest to exit the scheme. We are doing this, because life is tough


    right now." Josephine copsed suddenly on the table and started to cry.


    Coralie was a little shocked. She didn''t know if she said something wrong which caused Josephine to


    cry all of a sudden.


    "I''m sorry, Josephine. Is there something wrong with your family?"


    Only then did Josephine tell her about her family.


    Andrew refused to work and he kept thinking about getting rich overnight. A while back, he had some


    problems at his workce and he resigned to be a game streamer. Sometimes, his monthly


    ie was less than a thousand dors. They also have a child who was only one year old. They


    needed money, and this was the reason why they thought of this idea.


    "How could he do this? He''s already a father. Besides, game streamers usually work at night? He could


    still get a full-time job."


    Coralie frowned. She also knew a little about streaming. Most people did this as a part-time job.


    "I did speak to him about this, but he didn''t listen to me. Now, I''m at work during the day, and my


    mother helps me take care of the child. When I go home at night, I''ll clean up the house. Whenever I


    ask him to help out, he will say that he''s working and making money... I have thought of getting a


    divorce, but my child is only one year old. I don''t want him to grow up without father."


    Josephine needed a confidante toin about these matters. She couldn''t help telling Coralie


    everything that was in her mind. As she spoke, tears were already welling in her eyes.


    Coralie looked at her, and she felt a little distressed.


    Actually, Josephine was not bad-looking. Many men chased after her in college, but she was already


    together with Andrew since high school. They had been dating for almost ten years. At this point,


    Coralie envied them very much.


    "Josephine, I didn''t get anything when I divorced Howard, and I don''t have much money with me. I''ll


    lend you 2,000 dors to ease your cash flow, but promise me that you will not invest this in that rare


    metals project. Go back and persuade Andrew to take up the responsibilities of being a husband."


    After saying that, Coralie transferred 2,000 dors to Josephine without hesitation.


    She knew that 2,000 dors might not be of much help, but she used her own funds. She did not dare


    to use the card that Skr had given her previously.


    Josephine hesitated for a moment before epting the money. "Thank you, Coralie. In fact, I haven''t


    contacted you for a long time, and now I am asking you for money. It''s so embarrassing."


    Coralie looked at her. Her beautiful face was so gaunt now, and there were wrinkles around her eyes.


    The beautiful long hair she had was cut short, probably for convenience.


    Looking at Josephine'' condition, she really wanted to help her.

    ......


    After Coralie met Josephine, she limped back home. When she was about to arrive at themunity,


    she saw a sapphire blue sports car parked at the entrance. Coralie immediately recognized that it was


    Skr Hond''s car.


    However, there were two people sitting in the car.


    Coralie looked from a distance. The person in the passenger seat was a woman.


    When the car stopped, both of them opened the door. Coralie then saw clearly that it was Skr in the


    driver''s seat and Valerie Rae in the passenger seat.


    Coralie''s position happened to be behind Skr, when Valerie looked up, she saw Coralie limping in


    the distance.


    After seeing her, she had a cunning smile on her face. After taking the key from Skr, she hugged him


    suddenly and said something to Skr close to his ear, before she walked away.


    However, from Coralie''s angle, it looked like they were kissing.


    Her heart skipped a beat, and Skr''s words fromst night crossed her mind.


    "Well, he doesn''t like me. What does these things have to do with me?"


    Coralie shook her head and waited for Valerie to drive away his car. After Skr entered the


    When she arrived home, she saw Skr standing at the entrance, as if he was waiting for her.


    "Why didn''t you go in?"


    Coralie was stunned when she saw Skr standing at the door.


    "I''m waiting to see if you''lle back."


    In fact, Valerie had just whispered in his ear. She said, "I see that Miss Chariott is not far away. She


    cares about you so much, so she might get angry seeing us together. Remember to exin to her


    about this when you get home."


    She tried to influence him, so that he would think of Coralie as an unreasonable person.


    However, Coralie looked at him and thought of the scene just now. Her expression was extremely calm.


    "Of course I''ming back, or would you have preferred otherwise?"
