Chapter 1757


    Noreen replied, “J City!"


    Gina eximed in surprise, ‘You''re home, in J City? It''s been a long time."


    "Do you have a moment? I need to talk to you."


    “What''s going on?"


    "It''s important!"


    “Alright.


    Noreen uttered, "I''ll text you the address. Get an Uber ande over as soon as you can!"


    "Okay!" Gina hung up and promptly received a text from Noreen.


    Later that evening, after Elliott and Bonnie went out on a date, Gina left her groceries and rushed out of

    the house.


    Noreen had chosen a secluded, inconspicuous little coffee shop. As Gina entered, Noreen removed


    her scarf and face mask, “Gina, it''s been a while!"


    “Noreen, where have you been all these years? Why haven''t youe home?" Gina asked with


    concern.


    With a nce, Noreen scoffed, "Because of your daughter"


    She seemed impatient, "Forget the past, I have something to ask you. Is Emily married? How does she


    have a kid? Whose kid is it?"


    With a series of questions bombarded at her, Gina exined that Emily''s child was conceived abroad,


    and she didn''t know who the father was either.


    "Abroad?" Noreen squinted. Had she misinterpreted?


    “Do you need something from Emily?” Gina asked curiously, recalling that Noreen had asked Elliott


    about Emily and her address a fortnight ago.


    Noreen nodded, “Emily owes me money and hasn''t paid me back. You have to pay me for her."


    Gina was quick to respond, "I don''t have any money. Besides, Emily and I have severed ties. I don''t


    have anything to do with her anymore."


    "Severed ties? You''re mother and daughter. Can you even do that?" Noreen was skeptical.


    “It''s true. Emily insisted and there was nothing I could do. She and Elliott even signed an agreement!"


    Gina hurriedly exined.


    Noreen was getting impatient, “Then what about the money she owes me?"


    "You''ll have to ask her yourself!" Gina shrugged helplessly.


    “Would Ie to you if she could pay?" Noreen was annoyed, and looked disdainfully at Gina, "Even


    though I don''t like Emily, you''re quite ruthless as a mother!"


    Gina looked embarrassed and tried to exin, "I didn''t have a choice."


    “Enough with the household stories!" Noreen interrupted her, "Just tell me what to do about the money


    Emily owes me."


    Gina thought for a while, “Emily doesn''t have money, but her friends are quite rich. You can pressure


    her to borrow money and pay you back!"


    "How am I going to do that?” Noreen asked.


    She had been banished from J City by Charlie, and wasn''t allowed to return. Now she stealthily came


    back but couldn''t openly show up at J City. It was difficult to get things done.


    An idea suddenly popped into her head, “Can you bring Emily''s kid to me?"


    With the child, she didn''t believe Emily would dare not repay!


    Gina got startled, "I can’t. Wouldn''t that be kidnapping?"


    “How could that be kidnapping?" Noreen frowned, “I just want my own money back. That''s not


    extortion. It has nothing to do with kidnapping!"


    Gina hesitated.


    “Well, the initial 50 grand was spent by your family. If Emily doesn''t repay this money, I''ll go find Elliott. I


    know where he works!” Noreen crossed her arms and leaned back in her chair, a determined look on


    her face.


    "Don''t go to Elliott!" Gina became anxious when she heard her son was mentioned, "I can bring Kya to


    you, but you can''t hurt her!"


    "I told you this isn''t kidnapping. If I hurt her, I''d be the one going to jail. I''m not that stupid. I just want


    my 10 grand!” Noreen huffed.
