Noble Husband At the Door

Chapter 67

At the hotel entrance, the two groups parted ways. Before leaving, FLora remarked, "Lydia, I’m taking

Steven to the hospital first. We'll meet you tomorrow t o talk about the money.”

She did not give Lydia a chance to reply before she and her family up and left.

"Are you all right, Steven? Are you seriously injured? If you aren’t, we won't go to the hospital. No use

wasting money there," Lydia asked her son after they walked some distance away. 2

Although Steven had been viciously beaten up, they were all superficial wounds and probably were not

that serious. It was fine if he did not go see a doctor. Instead, something else seriously worried him.

"Dad, you’d better tell Aunt Lydia to prepare the money tomorrow. Let’s leave as soon as we get it,"

Steven said.

"Didn't Aunt Lydia already tell you that it takes time to withdraw cash? She can’t rush the process in

one or two days," Ferdinand replied.

"Dad, were you the one who got your brain smashed i n? Is it remotely possible for that fatty to have

slipped? Obviously Samuel hired a few thugs to beat him up. It was that fatty's bad luck that he didn't

have enough men with him today. Do you really think

someone like him will just forgive Samuel and the Sues that easily?" Steven explained.

That made sense to Flora. They would have no more money if the Sues were being hunted for

revenge." Okay. We'll make them withdraw the money tomorrow, just in case anything happens,” she

decided. "If the fatty really takes revenge on them, we won't be able to get the money. Then what will

happen to us?"

"Right.” Steven nodded his head. The family of three did not care a lick about how the Sues would end

up if the fatty wanted revenge. They were only concerned about the money.

"All right. I'll call her after we've found a place to stay," Ferdinand said.

Samuel and Yvonne rode in the same car. The former felt that something was wrong about how Flora

had spoken about money before they left the hotel.

"What was Flora talking about just now?” Samuel asked, suspicious.

Yvonne’s temper flared when he raised the question. She did not understand why her mother would

agree t o lend them money, and not just a small sum, but two hundred thousand bucks. Additionally,

there was practically zero chance of them getting the money back once it was 'lent' to them. 5

"It's all my mother's fault. My uncle wanted to borrow two hundred thousand bucks, and she just agreed

to i t. Two. Hundred. Thousand. Let's see where she manages to find that amount of money." Yvonne's

expression indicated that she was truly exasperated. 2

Samuel was well-aware of how prideful Lydia was, and she was also ridiculed every time she went

back t 0 her parent’s place. Now that they had two luxury cars, Lydia probably had the impression that

it was easy for Yvonne to pocket some money from her company. That was why she promised to lend

them two hundred thousand-to uplift her reputation.

"We can only think of a way to solve the problem now that she's already promised them. Mother is all

about appearances. What if she can’t produce the money when her brother and his family come by

tomorrow?" Samuel reasoned.

"I don't care." Yvonne said angrily, "It has nothing to d 0 with me. They’re going to get out of this

themselves."

Yvonne wanted to look out for her own hide for once, but Lydia would definitely not give her the chance

to d 0 so. If Lydia could not fork out the two hundred thousand, her daughter was her only hope.

When they reached home, Lydia immediately dragged Yvonne into her room. Samuel added some hot

water t 0 his unfinished cup of instant noodles and took it into his room to eat.

"Yvonne, you have to help me this time. I don't know how I'll ever show my face to anyone if we can't

lend that amount of money," Lydia pleaded with her daughter.

"Mom, do you really think I can take out two hundred thousand? I don’t even have fifty thousand in my

savings,” Yvonne said.

"You were able to take some money from the company to buy the cars. What is two hundred thousand?

Just b e more careful," Lydia said.

Godfrey opened his mouth, then clamped it shut. His wife did not even care about Yvonne’s safety.

This would not go down well with Grandmother Sue if she found out.

"No way. You think of a way to settle your problems. I can't help you," Yvonne snapped.

Lydia's features crumpled, then she plopped onto the ground and sobbed.

"Who asked you to make such empty promises? Two hundred thousand is not two bucks. Why did you

agree to give them that amount of money?” Godfrey said, unable to take it anymore.

Lydia cast a piercing glare at her husband. "Would I have such a horrendous reputation among my

family members if you weren't such a worthless b*stard? I'm doing this for the pride of the Sues!"

"Is pride worth two hundred thousand bucks?"

Godfrey retorted. 3

"Is it worth it? Godfrey Sue, you have the gall to ask m e if it's worth it? After being married to you for

so many years, is there one time when I went back without having everyone laugh behind my back? I'm

willing to pay two hundred thousand for my pride!" Lydia sniped back.

Yvonne knew that her mother had been ridiculed aplenty among the Johns. She was not only a mere

gnat in the Sue family, but she was mocked even by her own family. Besides, she was afraid that the

relationship between her parents would sour if Lydia continued to create a racket like this. "Mom, get

up first. Don't cry anymore. I’ll help you think of a way."

Lydia's tears immediately stopped when she heard this. "My daughter is the best," she said.
