Chapter 1222


    Carme’s eyes bulged. You spent all the money? Did you lose it all?”


    A trace of embarrassment crossed Victor’s face, and he awkwardlyughed, “Don’t worry about how I


    spent it, the money’s all gone. Some people in J City can drop 10 grand in one night, believe me, I was


    thrifty!”


    Carme couldn’t believe him: “What am I to you, an ATM? Even your parents wouldn’t give you this


    much money!”


    Victor didn’t get angry, he just kept grinning. “My parents are gone, who else is left in this world that is

    blood-rted to me?”


    “We’re not family!” Carme stepped back, looking at Victor with disgust and caution. Back off or I’ll


    report you for extortion!”


    “Go ahead and report me, blow this whole thing out of proportion. I know where you live, maybe your


    current foster parents coulde and clear things up!” Victor retorted confidently


    Carme’s face changed. “You’ve been following me?”


    “Don’t make it sound so bad, I’m just checking in on you and seeing how you’re doing. How can that be


    considered stalking?”


    Carme shivered. “What do you want?”


    “Give me 50 grand. If I have money, I won’t bother your Victor said it nonchntly.


    Carme immediately shook her head and said, “No way!”


    She said firmly, “Although the Mcin family is loaded, the money is in my parents’ hands. They won’t


    give it all to me. How am I supposed to get you 50 grand?”


    Victor thought for a moment: “Surely you can scrape together 20 grand! That’s the absolute minimum;


    otherwise, I go to your parents!”


    Carme gritted her teeth in anger. “Even if I gave you 200 grand, it wouldn’t cover your losses!”


    Victor quickly responded, “I won’t gamble anymore. I’ll use the money to start a business with my


    friends”


    “Who are your friends in J City?”


    “That’s none of your business, just give me the money!”


    Naturally, Carme didn’t want to give him anything. She had a hunch that if she gave him money this


    time, there would be countless times in the future. Victor was like a bottomless pit!


    “Write a promise that I will give you 20 grand and you will never bother me again. Even if you try, I


    won’t give you a dime!” Carme said it coldly. Victor thought about it andughed, Deal. You transfer


    the money, and I’ll write the promise!”


    “You write the promise first!”


    Carme handed a pen and paper to Victor.


    Reluctantly, Victor found a ce and wrote the promise ording to what Carme had said.


    Carme looked it over, and only after confirming there were no issues did she let him sign it. “Hurry


    up!” Victor urged.


    Carme took out her phone and transferred the money to him with a grimace, saying, “I have no more


    money to give you. Use this to rent a ce and find a job. Stop messing around.”


    “I got it!” Victor said it impatiently. As soon as he saw the money hit his ount, he immediately put on


    a smile and said, “Thanks, you’re the best!” Disgusted, Carme looked at him and said, “Just go!”


    Victor smirked and left.


    Carme watched Victor’s departing figure and dejectedly sat on the bench. Since Victor had


    appeared, she felt a heavy rock pressing on her heart, making her feel suffocated. She was even


    somewhat panicked, worrying about how she could get rid of him in the future


    Her life had been great until Estelle threw such a huge curveball at her, which she found uneptable


    She would get back at Estelle.


    It seemed that the house of Estelle’s neighbor across the street had been renovated. In the past few


    days, she hadn’t seen any renovation workers when she came home.
