You’ll Fall For Me, Today Or Tomorrow Chapter 297


    Hry wore a big sun hat with a face mask to hide her appearance as she headed to a private room in


    a restaurant surreptitiously.


    It was only when she entered the room did she reveal herself, and the ones she was meeting were


    Judy Bates and her husband.


    When the couple saw hering in, they immediately rose to their feet and greeted her warmly, but


    she was not having any of it.


    With her eyes tinged with contempt and disgust, Hry spat, “Didn’t I tell both of you to go back to W


    City? Who asked you guys toe back here? Both of you had caused enough troubles here!”


    However, Judy paid no heed to her threatening voice as she replied with a beaming face, “Hry, let


    bygones be bygones. Besides, we cause no trouble this time.”


    “No trouble, huh? How about the previous car ident? And your child even beat someone into a


    coma in school! Did you seriously think those were not big issues?”


    Judy’s face fell instantly, and she cut to the chase. “These were all in the past, Hry. It’s almost the


    end of the year now, and we need some money to go back during the holidays.”


    “Money? Thest time you asked for money was two weeks ago, for goodness’ sake! Your greed really


    knows no bound. All these years, I’ve been paying both of you on time every month, and I even gave


    you extra whenever you needed some emergency cash. I know I owe you a favor, but I’m at my limits.


    From now on, if you two continue to be so greedy, I won’t even give you a penny.”


    “Hey, Hry. Many goods are getting more expensive nowadays. Besides, things are different now.


    Twenty thousand is not enough for a month.”


    Hry eyed her suspiciously. “What do you mean things are different now? What are you trying to say?”


    Judy paused for a while before answering, “Hehe… I saw your daughter when I was in W City


    previously. She is gorgeous, Hry. Even though she is not your biological daughter, she is as pretty as


    you. And I even heard that she almost married into an affluent family, but unfortunately, that family


    looked down on her because of her background. What a pity. Hry, if she weren’t born in a poor family,


    she would have gotten married to that rich guy and enjoy the rest of her life in fortune.”


    As Judy spoke, her chubby face looked somewhatical with her exaggerated expression and tone


    of voice.


    On the other hand, Hry’s face turned pale, and she became more horrified as the seconds ticked by.


    Seeing the intense fear in her eyes, Judy smirked in satisfaction. “Hry, don’t you think you should


    give us more from today onwards? Oh, by the way, I know her contact number and her address. From


    the looks of it, she is doing quite well now. Do you know that she is living in a vi? I was shocked. Tsk


    tsk. What a good girl she is. If she knows that she is not a child of a poor family, I bet she’ll hate…”


    “Shut up!” A high-pitched yell cut her off all of a sudden.


    Hry gave Judy a death stare, her body trembling with rage.


    shing her a triumphant smile, Judy sat down, and her husband, who had been keeping quiet all the


    while, finally spoke up to Hry.


    “That year, ever since my wife helped you to do that terrible thing, she’s been eaten up with guilt and


    even quitted her job as a nurse. All these years, she’s been wanting to find your daughter and that


    family to apologize to them. Luckily, I’m always there to stop her. Otherwise, she would have revealed


    the secret to them a long time ago. I know you’re struggling to earn money as well, and I’m thankful to


    you for giving us such a great life. Don’t worry, Hry. We won’t sell you out.” His voice was dripping


    with sarcasm.


    They’re absolutely shameless! Now, they’re just putting on a show where they disagreed with each


    other. But, ultimately, what they want is to force me to spew out money like an ATM machine. I’ve been


    living on a shoestring in recent years. If they continue to ckmail me, I don’t think I can tolerate them


    for long.


    Hry heaved a sigh and held up her hand. “Say no more. I know you want more money. How much do


    you want?”


    Judy’s husband pped his hands. “Ah, that’s the question we’ve been waiting for, Hry.”


    “Fifty thousand a month,” Judy replied, smiling shamelessly.


    “No way!” Hry rejected immediately.


    Seeing her reaction, Judyughed mirthlessly and stood up. “Forget about it then. Oh, my guilt is killing


    me. I need to find Ms. Quigley and tell her the truth.”


    As Judy turned to leave the room, her husband pretended to pull on her arm to stop her as he knew


    that Hry would relent eventually.


    “Stop right there!” Hry shouted, exasperated at their attitude.


    As soon as she said that, Judy turned around with a smile and waited for Hry to say more.


    Massaging her temples, Hry continued, “I’m short of money recently. I can’t give fifty thousand. How


    about thirty-five thousand?”


    “Forty thousand.”


    “Fine.”


    After that, Judy requested Hry to do the online transfer on the spot, and their eyes instantly shone


    with happiness the moment they saw the money in their ount.


    “Hehe. Thank you, Hry. Thisrge amount of money reduces my guilt,” Judy said, cing her hand


    on her chest dramatically.


    Scum!


    Hry cursed inwardly.


    Taking a deep breath to calm herself, she then fixed her gaze on their eyes and warned sternly, “Don’t


    tell anyone about anything. Do you understand me? Otherwise, I’ll make both of you disappear from


    the earth.”


    Truth be told, Judy and her husband were somewhat wary of Hry. After all, well-off people like her


    could easily hire thugs to give them a lesson.


    That was why they did not push her too far in the past few years.


    After Hry left, the couple headed straight to the mall to shop until they dropped and went to have a


    meal.


    Judy took a sip of her wine. “Since we can get money from Hry, do you think we can find her


    biological daughter and get more money from her? The family that takes her in must have been loaded,


    too.”


    Her husband wiped off the grease stain on his mouth and replied, “Yes, exactly. If we can find that girl,


    she’ll definitely not want other people to know that she was actually born in a penniless family. It’s not


    that hard to guess her reaction.”


    “By the way, have you gotten any news from the private investigator?”


    “I’ll hear from him soon. I spent so much money on him. If he doesn’t give us any useful information, I’ll


    finish him off.”


    “I don’t think it’s difficult to find out where the girl has gone. Hmm, it’ll be quite hard for me to enter the


    hospital where I used to work. Otherwise, I would have found out the identity of her biological daughter


    myself and used that money for ourselves.”


    “Don’t worry about the money we spend on that private investigator. I’m sure we can get it back from


    Hry and her biological daughter. That’s why we need to invest our money well. Speaking of which,


    give me some money to buy stocks. I got some inside information that the stock price will go up…”


    The couple quarreled over money again. One refused to give money while the other insisted the stock


    would rise.


    In a high-end restaurant like this, the two rowdies were frowned upon by the other diners. Thus, the


    manager had to remind Judy and her husband to keep their voices down.


    Fortunately, they had finished their meals, so they left right after that, still arguing as they stepped out


    of the restaurant.


    Meanwhile, a married couple who sat beside their table shook their head in displeasure. It was Sandra


    and Jacque.


    “What’s wrong with these people?” She stared at Judy and her husband until they were out of her sight.


    “Don’t mind them. Tactless people like them probably will never know that they’re rude. Don’t think


    about them, and start eating,” Jacque replied, waving his hand.


    “But I heard them talking about something shady.” She did not dig in as he told her and continued, “It


    seems like they’re threatening someone and nning to do the same to her daughter. I’ve onlyeContent rights belong to N?velDrama.Org.


    across this kind of thing in the movies. Does it happens in real life, too?”


    He shook his head. “Maybe. Who knows what people can do nowadays?”


    Having said that, they did not dwell on it as it was none of their concern.


    Not long after, Jacque’s phone rang. He furrowed his eyebrows when he saw the caller ID.


    Sandra asked, “Is it Ka? I can answer it for you.”


    Then, she took over his phone and answered it. “Hi, Ka. Oh, Jacque’s gone on a business trip.


    Yeah, he’s on an important mission so he’s not allowed to bring his phone along with him. Yes, I


    understand. We can’t give up on Shermaine. She’s our niece after all. As long as she’s behaving well


    inside there, I’m sure she can be released early even if we don’t intervene.”


    After that, she did not speak for a long while as she continued to listen to Ka babbling over the


    phone and rolled her eyes in frustration.


    Ten minutester, after Ka was finally done with her ramble, Sandra said, “I know. Jacque’s been


    pretty busytely, so I’ll tell him about this after some time. Oh, I need to go out now. I’ll talk to you next


    time. Bye.”


    She hung up the call and let out a long sigh. “It’s been three years already. Why is she still like that?


    She’s getting even more annoying.”


    Needless to say, she could only express her frustration in front of her husband. I’d be dead if Iin


    to my mother-inw about her daughter.


    Jacque was also fed up with Ka. “Since Shermaine had done wrong, she should be punished by the


    law. She wanted me to do something to release Shermaine out of jail. But has she ever considered


    how it would affect my reputation if I get myself involved in this mess? My mother and I have really


    spoiled her. She’s totally irrational and difficult.”


    “To be frank, I never thought that Shermaine would do such a thing. Is it because she’s spoiled by her


    mother, too?”


    “Uh-huh. I don’t want to get involved in the mess, but I care about Shermaine as well. Previously, I had


    asked about her condition in jail. I heard that she was behaving well there, so she may be granted an


    early release for good conduct. However, I’m not sure the exact date she would be released, so if she


    asks again next time, just tell her what I say now.”


    “Okay. I got it.”


    The day after rissa came back, she unexpectedly came across Damian’s photos on social media


    when she was scrolling on her phone.


    She instantly broke out in cold sweat and dialed Matthew’s number immediately.


    Then, the post and the photos disappeared as quick as a sh.


    Later in the day, she thought about it for a while and realized that it might not be a big deal after all. It


    was probably one of the young girls who took pictures with Damian at the airport that uploaded the


    photos to social media for fun. Besides, only Damian is inside those photos, so other people might


    think that he is just an ordinary cute child. Now that the photos are all gone, I can finally sit back and


    rx.


    However, the girl who posted those photos was baffled. Why is my post deleted? I have to get to the


    bottom of this!
