Chapter 2166: Chapter 2175: Lost 15 Thousand
The haggard middle-aged woman shrank her neck at the questioning, but thinking of her terrified son, she hardened her heart, "I didnāt mean that. I just saw how your brother looked, and I got really anxious. Thatās why..."
"So you ran to my workplace, chasing me for money? Do you know that the hotel is hosting a very important guest these days? The manager said that anyone who makes a mistake and offends this guest wonāt have a job here anymore. And you still ran to my workplace causing a scene at this time, are you trying to push me to my limit?" Joanne Harrison really couldnāt hold it in any longer, "Iāve already said that if thereās anything, wait until Iām off work, call me and tell me, but you still had to come here."
"I told you on the phone last night, but you refused to help your brother. I had no other choice but to come to your workplace. If you had agreed to help on the phone, I wouldnāt have come."
This was as shameless as it gets, yet she spoke as if it were completely justified, as if it truly were Joanneās fault.
Joanne Harrison felt as if a heavy stone was weighing down on her chest, every breath tugging painfully at her lungs. She clenched her hand by her side, exhaled, and said expressionlessly, "I only have 4,500 dollars. Iāll transfer it to you after work. The remaining 10,500? Let my brother handle that himself."
Upon hearing she was willing to give money, the middle-aged womanās eyes suddenly lit up, but as soon as she heard the amount, her eyes quickly turned to dissatisfaction, "...only 4,500?"
Her tone clearly showed dissatisfaction with Joanne Harrison only giving 4,500, but she spoke quietly because she was the one asking for a favor.
Joanne Harrison was so angered by her "only 4,500" comment that she didnāt even want to speak anymore. Her face was left with only numbness, "Just leave, stop making a scene here. If you disturb the guests, I wonāt have a job anymore either."
The middle-aged woman was pulled a little, her haggard face showing irritation. She held onto Joanneās hand, unwilling to leave, and cautiously said, "Joanne, you surely have more than 4,500 dollars. Just help your brother, just this once, the last time. Pay back the 15 thousand dollars for your brother."
If it werenāt for the fact that the person in front of her was her own mother, and looking so haggard, Joanne Harrison really wanted to ask if she was picked up from a dumpster. She took a deep breath, trying her best to suppress her temper, and said, "Iām just an ordinary employee, how much do you think I make a month? I have to give you guys more than half of it every month, I still have to rent a place, and live. Let me make it clear, I now only have 6,000 dollars, I need to keep 1,500 for rent, and Iāll give you the rest. If my brother thinks itās too little, he can refuse it."
"Itās not that I think itās too little, no, how can you only have 6,000 dollars? Isnāt your salary high? Donāt you usually take part-time jobs to earn extra money? Joanne, you wouldnāt lie to me, right?"
Working at a Seven-Star Hotel, how could the salary be low. Her salary wasnāt low, but it couldnāt withstand the obligation of supporting so many people, and she was out of money.
Joanne Harrison mechanically repeated, "I only have 4,500 dollars, do you want it or not? If not, then forget it. Iām at work right now, please stop interrupting my work. Weāll talk about whatever it is when I get back tonight."
"Iām worried you wonāt answer my call tonight..." the middle-aged woman whispered, then immediately added, "Mom doesnāt doubt you, Mom is just worried about your brother."
