Brandon heard Allison’s words and responded with a scoff, “Huh? You can raise money? Where are you going to get it from? I’ve investigated your family! Your mother has been sick for years, and on top of that you have a brother who doesn’t work and likes to gamble. Your rtives and friends avoid your family like they’re avoiding the gue. And 80 thousand is not a small amount of money. Even if you have rtives or friends willing to help, who could gather that much money for you? You think you can raise the money? Hahaha! Let me see you try.”


    Allison pursed her lips but didn’t say anything as she dialed a phone number she had just saved two days ago.


    At this time, L had just returned home with Nora when he saw Allison’s calle in and answered it immediately.


    “Allison?” He was somewhat surprised.


    “L… I… I…”


    After being provoked by Brandon earlier, Allison impulsively called L.


    However, now that she was actually facing him on the phone, it was difficult for her to speak up.


    “What’s wrong? Are you having some difficulties?” L smiled and sensed Allison’s hesitation so he asked proactively.


    With his question came an ease in which some things were easier said than done for Allison.


    “I… want to borrow some money from you…”


    Summoning up courage despite herself; Allison spoke firmly after saying this but her face turned red instantly afterwards.


    While feeling anxious about what L would say or do next; there was also an uneasiness within her heart as well.


    Allison worried whether L would refuse outright or even look down upon her…


    Brandon watched nearby as he saw how Allison looked like at this moment before sneering, “Haha… Don’t pretend anymore Allison! Just by looking at how unfamiliar both of you are towards each other tells me everything I need to know! Even if this person has enough money to lend out; once he hears the amount involved here, then there is no way he will agree! Tsk tsk…”


    “How much do you want?” At this moment, L asked naturally without any hint of surprise in his tone.


    Upon hearing his natural tone, Allison felt somewhat relieved while tentatively asking, “Eighty thousand dors, is that okay?”


    After speaking, she quickly added, “If it isn’t convenient for you, then forget about it. It’s alright.”


    “Convenient! It’s just eighty thousand. Give me your card number and I’ll transfer it to you right away,” L said with a smile, nonchntly.


    “Really?” Allison was surprised that L agreed so readily.


    “Yes, give me the card number!” L demanded.


    “Oh…” Allison sent her bank card number via text message with excitement in her heart.


    At this moment, Brandon sneered beside her. “You’re putting on quite a show! Allison, you don’t need to act in front of me. Your mother is waiting for you at the hospital and if she doesn’t have money for treatment, it will be your own problem! You should just agree to Dillon’s offer. He won’t treat you badly! Tsk tsk…”


    Just then Allison received a notification from her mobile banking app showing that eighty thousand dors had been deposited into her ount. She was overjoyed and touched by this unexpected turn of events.


    The next second she mmed her phone onto Brandon’s face and said triumphantly, “Mr. Hunter, you can shut up now.”


    After seeing the notification on her phone screen clearly, Brandon froze there for a moment with an uncertain expression on his face.


    Allison smirked proudly before grabbing her bag and leaving work.


    Watching Allison leave, Brandon muttered under his breath, “Damn it! Has this girl found another sugar daddy? Could it be… she borrowed money from loan sharks?”N?velDrama.Org holds text ? rights.


    The next second he turned around quickly dialing someone’s phone number.


    As soon as she left thepany premises, Allison called L again.


    “How about now? Did the moneye through?” asked L with a smile.


    “Yeah, it did!” replied Allison gratefully but also feeling embarrassed, “You didn’t even ask why I needed to borrow money or anything like that, you just lent it straight away. Weren’t you afraid I would cheat your money?”


    “I’m not afraid, I have plenty of money,” Lughed heartily. “Ha ha ha…”


    Hearing this response made Allisonugh out loud too, “Yeah, right. You’re such a big shot now.”


    “Haha, you bet!” L replied confidently. He still had good feelings towards his old ssmate. Allison was actually his first crush back then, and during those times, she always helped him despite all rumors going around about them being together romantically.


    Although he refused Allison’s help in the past due to his own insecurities and a ridiculous sense of pride, L held onto their friendship in his heart. Now that his old ssmate was in trouble, L naturally extended a helping hand without hesitation.


    As for Allison cheating him out of money?


    Ha, was that even possible?


    With Allison’s looks and image, she could easily get money from rich heirs and yboys if she wanted to. Gavin was just one example.


    Why would she bother scamming him for a mere 80, 000 dors?


    “Hmph, you’re not being modest!” Allison snorted lightly before tentatively suggesting, “To thank you for your help today, how about I treat you to dinner tonight?”


    “Uh… that’s not necessary,” L politely declined.


    “Why not? You helped me so much! I have to treat you to dinner! It’s settled then,” Allison insisted without giving him any room for refusal.


    L feared that if he didn’t agree now, Allison would keep insisting until he had no choice but to ept. After agreeing on a meeting ce outside herpany building with Nora waiting patiently in the car all this time – they left together.


    “Daddy… where are we going?” The little girl asked cutely with big eyes full of curiosity.


    “We’re going out for some good food!” L replied with a smile on his face as he drove them towards their destination.


    Half an hourter, they arrived at Hodge’s Wine Company where an eye-catching figure stood waiting outside. Leaving Nora inside the car while he got out alone – L walked over towards her when she waved at him from afar on tiptoes trying to catch his attention.


    “L? Over here!”


    L smiled and walked over towards her as she asked, “Where do you want to eat?”


    “How about my hotel?” He suggested jokingly which earned him an eye roll from her before suddenly…


    “What the f*ck?! I thought you were pure! Turns out you’re just another slut!”


    “What’s wrong? This guy has more money than me or something? Why aren’t you hanging around me instead?”


    Suddenly a harsh voice interrupted them both as they turned around only seeing a tall skinny young man walking out of the winepany building staring coldly at both L and Allison.


    The guy had swollen eyelids and a thin body, clearly looking like he drank too much. Following him were Brandon with his hair parted in the middle and a fewckeys.


    “Is that Dillon Hodge?” Allison’s face changed as soon as she saw the young man.


    L squinted at him.


    “Who are you calling slut?”
