    “A Thing Came Up.” I informed Carson about Robin’s car ident. When I told him thepensation


    could reach millions. Mrs. Boyer muttered beside us, “Robin Hamilton never behaves. Instead of


    studying hard, he’d rather spend all that money on a car. Look at him now, getting into a car

    ident. How is he going to pay thepensation?”


    “It’s impossible for him to get the money so I bet the burden is on Jolene.”


    The look of Mrs. Boyer passed Carson beforending on me. “Lily, she didn’t borrow it from you, did


    she?”


    Upon hearing my mother-inw’s question, I smiled. “Mom, where do I get the money? As my friend,


    Jolene is very clear about my situation. I’m broke, but my husband is rich. Carson, if she asks you to


    borrow it, would you take it?”


    “Why should we lend her money? It’s a huge amount! Also, Jolene is her friend, not


    Carson’s. Mrs. Boyer was the first to object.


    “I’m just saying. I never said that she will definitely ask for money. Oh right, I heard Jolene’s dad hit the


    jackpot thest few years. I think she probably doesn’t even need the borrowed money for


    “Who is she kidding? Her father is too sick to run a business!” Mrs. Boyer scoffed, but Carson shot her


    a look, suggesting she keep quiet about it.


    “Mom, do you know Jolene’s dad?” I sighed.


    “No, I don’t know. I heard from Jolene that he is very sick.” She forced a smile to hide the truth.


    “Her family got rich a few years ago. Today, Robin told me that her father bought some fisheries and


    received great returns. He bought his car with his father’s money – worth hundreds of thousands,” I


    eximed.


    “Hundreds of thousands? Is it really that expensive?” Mrs. Boyer was taken aback. Sitting next to us,


    Carson forced a smile. “Honey, you must be hungry. Let’s eat!”


    Jolene came home after dinner and Mrs. Boyer hurried over to her. “I heard about your brother’s


    ident from Lily. He needs a lot of money. That is true?”


    “Yes,”


    “Why is he so careless? That’s a lot, and it’s not just a small amount,” Mrs. Boyer began to grumble.


    “Mom, Jolene has been very busy during the day and hasn’t eaten. We’ll talk about it after she has


    dinner.


    “Lily, I don’t have an appetite.” Jolene looked pitiful.


    “Even so, you need to have at least something. Health is important.” I dragged her into the dining room,


    where Victoria served her food. I watched as Jolene ate, but she only swallowed a few mouthfuls


    before putting her fork down. defeated.


    “Jolene, eat more.”


    “Lily, I really don’t have an appetite.”


    “You’re worried aboutpensation, aren’t you? I spoke to Carson about this just now and asked him


    to think of some ways he could help. I purposely said that out loud. Mrs. Boyer was listening in on the


    conversation in the dining room and immediately cut me off: “Howe Carson is rich? His business


    orders were withdrawn and he lost a lot of money. Now, Eliza is preparing for her wedding. I don’t even


    have her dowry ready!”


    “Is Eliza getting married? Is she not in school yet?” I asked in amazement.
