“Hurry up and get your things, don’t waste any more time. Each additional day you stay here is another day’s worth of money wasted!” Joshua Clarke urged.
As a result, Joshua Clarke’s words reminded Christy Xenos about something else.
Christy Xenos turned around, using her tear-stained face to address Cindy Clarke: “Yes, there’s also the cost of our stay here for these past few days.”
“Cindy, settle this bill for us,” Christy Xenos said.
Even Cindy, at this point, was a bit impressed by Christy Xenos’s shamelessness.
Christy Xenos’s shamelessness truly outdid Cindy’s comprehension, continuously resetting her understanding.
“What?” Cindy Clarke pretended to be surprised for a moment, blinked, and then said, “You guys are staying in such a nice room here, it must be expensive, why should I foot the bill?”
She wasn’t the one who asked them to come and stay.
“So what?” Christy Xenos thought her demand was completely reasonable, “Over these five years, while you were enjoying yourself in Belfard, we barely survived in Nork City, living off your sister, Wendy. She’s the one who paid for everything at home and bought the house.”
“You’ve been in Belfard, not contacting us. You never gave us a penny for living expenses,” Christy Xenos said, “I don’t even ask you to split the cost of the house with your sister.”
“But as for the living expenses over these five years, you should reimburse us!” Christy Xenos was truly admirable.
Even after being exposed by Cindy for their scheme and betrayal in the past, she still didn’t forget Wendy’s advice.
Their main purpose of coming here was to get money.
“What are you talking about!” Joshua Clarke grabbed Christy Xenos’s hand.
But it seemed that Joshua Clarke was not wholeheartedly trying to stop Christy Xenos.
Otherwise, given the way Joshua Clarke had previously dealt with Christy Xenos.
If Joshua Clark had really wanted to stop her, how could Christy Xenos have had the chance to say these things?
So, even Joshua Clarke thinks she should give them this money, is that it?
Christy Xenos kept going: “Don’t you think we are wrong to ask you for this money. Besides these five years, consider the money you cost us throughout your life.”
“We’ve supported your education, food, clothing, and living expenses from childhood onward, so the expenses were far from few. We’ve spent a considerable amount of money on your college education, and then you decided not to continue at all.”
Cindy Clarke interrupted her abruptly: “You know exactly why I dropped out, don’t you?”
“If I could, would I willingly drop out? Besides, I don’t need to pay a penny for university tuition. Don’t forget, I had a scholarship. Also, don’t you ever forget that I originally could get into S University.”
“Do you realize the ranking of S University? Among the top three universities in the Hearth Nation, and among the top hundred in the world. I was admitted. I could go to S University and still receive the scholarship.”
“But because Nork University offered more money, you secretly altered my application. I studied so hard striving to get into S University. If it hadn’t been for the dead end I was forced into, would I have dropped out?”
“The scholarship offered by Nork University was entirely taken by you. I didn’t mind and accepted the change of my application. I strived to take the postgraduate entrance examination, to get into S University or Belfard University!”
“I relentlessly moved towards my goal. If it wasn’t a last resort, why would I drop out? I fought for so long, was that all for giving up?”
“You say you supported my college education, but I didn’t ask you to pay a penny. Instead, I made you money,” Cindy Clarke said loudly.
Joshua Clarke’s head dropped.
“So, do not talk about the money from my college period. Besides, the scholarship I earned could at least cover a few years of my living expenses at home.” Since Christy Xenos wanted to make it so clear.
Since Joshua Clarke also agreed with Christy Xenos’s approach.
Cindy wouldn’t be polite either. She would calculate it precisely with them.
“Take out those factors, in the remaining 17 years, did you spend 10 million on raising me?” Cindy asked.
“If we had earned 10 million, we wouldn’t have had to live in that old house, right?” Cindy said, sarcastically smiling.
Christy Xenos was speechless and at a loss for words.
Joshua Clarke’s face flushed and reddened too.
“Adding my living expenses for the past five years I was not at home, back then and in the future, that 10 million should be enough, right?” Cindy said, “Wasn’t the money from selling what I owned?”
“Why are you still asking me for money?” Cindy asked in a cold voice.
“I said it, that 10 million never went to us!” Christy Xenos was furiously disgusted, nearly vomiting blood.
Cindy Clarke insisted on the 10 million issue, saying that their family is wealthy because of the money from selling Cindy’s things.
Yet unfortunately for Christy Xenos, she knew it wasn’t true but could not explain.
Christy Xenos was so furious that she stomped her foot!
“Then do explain where the family’s money comes from?” Cindy smirked, waiting to see the show.
Christy Xenos was trembling with anger.
Cindy sighed and said: “Dad, do you also think I owe the family and should give you money?”
“No, no,” Joshua Clarke quickly waved his hand, “how could I think that way?”
“You’re right,” Joshua Clarke said, “Putting aside the 10 million, just based on what your mother and Wendy did to you, they have no right to ask you for money.”
“Moreover, the reason why our family lives well and the restaurant is so successful is all due to that 10 million.” Joshua Clarke wiped his face, “Thinking about it now, I feel so guilty!”
He turned around to Christy Xenos and shouted: “Shut up!”
“I’m telling you, don’t bring up money issues with Cindy again!” Joshua Clarke said.
“Dad, how long have you been in Belfard?” Cindy suddenly asked.
Without thinking much, Joshua Clarke answered: “It’s been over a week, almost two weeks now.”
“Oh, so it’s almost half a month then?” Cindy was surprised, “Have you guys been staying here all this time?”
“Yes,” Joshua Clarke nodded.
“So you guys… are really rich now.” Cindy wiped her hands on her jeans, “I wonder, does our family now have enough money to buy a house in Belfard?”
“What do you mean? What are you trying to do?” Christy Xenos sensed something was amiss and immediately questioned in a shrill voice.
“That is… I’m still renting a house in Belfard, and the one I rent is small with a bad environment.” Cindy said, “I didn’t know our family is so rich now, so that’s why I never contacted home.”
“I knew that even if I spoke up it would be useless and would only earn your scoldings. I was also afraid of adding to Dad’s burdens, so I didn’t mention anything.”
“But now, since our family is so wealthy, I’m not afraid to talk about it anymore.” Cindy said, embarrassedly giggling, “I won’t ask our family to buy me a house. Just… just help me rent one.”
