Chapter 464
Bella‘s POV:
“Mom, that man is already in his fifties. He is older than you, okay?” There was a crying tone in Emma‘s voice.
Connie sighed. “Mom knows that he‘s a little old, but he‘s rich. If you marry him, you can become his wife and spend money as you like. The servants at home will also serve you. You will live a good life. It‘s better than you kneeling down and putting shoes on others every day here, isn‘t it?”
Behind the billboard, Joey and I heard the conversation between the mother and daughter and looked at each other. Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
My heart was full of contempt for Connie. For the sake of money, she actually allowed her daughter to be with an old man who was older than her. For the sake of money, Connie could give up everything.
She could give up her self–esteem, morality, and even her daughter.
After a while, Emma was already crying. “Mom, that person‘s face is full of wrinkles and age spots. I feel sick when I look at him. Besides, he took me to get a room the first time we met. What kind of good days can I have in the future?”
At this time, Connie was already impatient. She snapped, “You used to accompany people who are old, didn‘t you? I know you‘re still thinking about William, aren‘t you? Silly girl, he absolutely won‘t like you. He‘s not only rich now, but also surrounded by beautiful women. Even if you kneel down and lick him, he won‘t appreciate it. You‘d better give up!”
Connie‘s words had probably hit the nail on the head, which drove Emma crazy. She yelled, “How many times have I told you? Don’t mention William to me again. I‘ve long forgotten about him!” “Since
you‘ve forgotten about him, that‘s great. Let‘s go and discuss the marriage with me right now!” After saying that, Connie pulled Emma and left. “I won‘t go. I don‘t want to face an old man with age spots for the rest of my life!” Emma shouted. What she got in return was a burst of crazy beating and scolding from Connie. For a moment, the sound of crying and scolding rose and fell.
Joey and I looked at each other helplessly. We felt that there was no point in listening, so we turned around and left.
At this time, there was a sudden sound of something being hit hard from behind, followed by a heart wrenching scream and the sound of the car‘s sudden brake!
The voice startled me and Joey. Instinctively, we looked in direction of the billboard and saw that Errna was lying in a pool of blood.
Emma was knocked down by a car, She lay on the blood–stained ground, and her shoes flew out. It was very scary, Joey and I were so scared that we trembled. It was the first time that we had seen such a scene,
At this time, Connie sat in front of Emma and cried loudly. However, Emma closed her eyes and had no reaction at all.
There were onlookers around, and the driver who caused the accident got off the car in a panic and
made an emergency call. For a time, the scene was very chaotic.
A few minutes later, the ambulance arrived. The medical staff quickly cleaned up Emma. She was. carried into the ambulance, but the driver said timidly, “Doctor, I don‘t have much money with me. Can you save her first?”
“Go back and get it,” the ambulance driver said.
“I... I‘m from another city. I just came to work in A City. I don‘t… I don‘t have money.” The driver answered awkwardly.
At this time, Connie stepped forward and grabbed the collar of the driver who caused the accident. She said in an imposing manner, “You knocked my daughter. You must pay for the medical expenses. Take out the money quickly!” “I really don‘t have money.” The driver looked embarrassed.
The ambulance driver glanced at them and said to Connie, “You‘re her family, aren‘t you? Hurry up and get the money. Otherwise, it‘s hard to tell if the patient can survive.”
“I don‘t have any money. What should I do? Manager, manager, please pay my daughter‘s salary in advance. It‘s to save her life. Connie turned her head, saw the manager of the store, and began to plead.
“Well… I can‘t make the decision. I have to ask the boss for instructions. Why don‘t you go to the hospital first to check on Emma? After I ask for instructions, I will send it to you. What do you think?” The manager‘s eyes flickered. She had no choice but to say that.
“Okay, okay. This is an ambulance from the city hospital. Don‘t go to the wrong hospital.” Connie turned around and got into the ambulance.
Then, the ambulance left quickly with a long siren sound.
At this time, a saleslady standing at the entrance of the famous store walked up to the store manager and said cautiously, “Manager, do you really want to ask the boss for an advance on the salary?”
The manager frowned and replied, “She has just worked in our store for a week. I think she won‘t be able to live with such an injury. Who will pay her salary in advance? But she‘s really pityful. I‘ll pay her the salary for this week. You can send it to her, so that her mom won‘t pester me again when she sees me!”
After that, the store manager turned around and enteredthe store.
After the manager left, Joey shook her head and sighed. Then, she followed her in. Joey and I were watching the whole process. Emma and I were enemies.
I cursed her to die more than once.
But now she was really in an accident, and I was not happy at all. On the contrary, my mood was particularly heavy.
Joey, who was standing aside, covered her chest and said, “I‘m scared to death. Do you think something will happen to Emma? I‘ve heard from others that if the shoes were knocked away in a car accident, they might not survive!”
At this time, I suddenly walked to the ATM tens of meters away. I took out my card and took out 3,000 dollars.
Seeing the money in my hand, Joey couldn‘t help asking, “Why did you take out so much money?” At this moment, I happened to see the saleslady in front of me come out with an envelope in her hand. She was probably going to give Emma a week‘s salary,
I took two quick steps forward and stopped her. “Please wait a minute!”
The saleslady looked at me and asked with a frown, “Are you calling me?”
I nodded and said, “Yes, are you going to pay Emma‘s salary?” “Yeah, what‘s wrong?” The saleslady stared at me in confusion, “It‘s not convenient for me to go to the hospital now. Could you please send the 3,000 dollars to the hospital?” I handed the 3,000 dollars in my hand to the saleslady, The saleslady looked at the money in my hand, looked at my face, and then said, “Oh, I remember, Are you the guest who came to buy shoes just now?”
“Yes.” I nodded in embarrassment.
“But Emma said that you had a grudge against each other, didn‘t she?” the saleslady asked tentatively
I sighed and said, “It‘s true, but it‘s all in the past.”
The saleslady replied, “Okay, I‘ll send it for you.” I said, “By the way, please don‘t tell them that I gave them the money, Just tell them... it‘s your manager who received the money from the boss.” Upon hearing this, the saleslady frowned and asked, “Why?” I chuckled and said, “You know that I have a grudge against them. I‘m afraid they don‘t want it. Maybe this money can save their lives.” “I see. You‘re a kind person,” the saleslady said to me before she turned and left.
