    Chapter 902 A Pro Actor


    Minerva and Helen cried in each other’s arms, regretting everything they did. It took them a long time to


    calm down, and finally, Helen sighed. “Now, what should we do? It’s ten million, not ten dors. How am I


    supposed to tell James about this?”

    Minerva had an idea. “Aunt Helen, Liam is managing a constructionpany, so he must have a lot of


    money. He probably won’t ask you to return the ten million soon. Why don’t you ask him to give it to you


    so you can tide things over. As for me… Tate and I will start working and pay you back once we make


    enough money.”


    If anyone else was there, they’d know Minerva was just lying. After all, it’d take the both of them a few


    lifetimes to make ten million.


    Helen, however, looked at her lovingly. “Oh, you silly girl. That’ll be too much for you and Tate.”


    Minerva sighed. “This is our fault, so of course we’ll have to pay you back. I’m sorry, Aunt Helen. I really


    want to kill myself, but I can’t do it. Not when I know you’ll have to shoulder this debt alone. Don’t worry,


    Aunt Helen. Tate and I will save up and pay you back no matter what.”


    Touched, Helen patted Minerva’s hand. “Don’t me yourself, Minerva. I… I’ll try toe up with


    something. Worst-case scenario, James will give me an earful, but we’re already married for a long time.


    He… probably won’t chase me away. Don’t put too much pressure on yourself. Look livelier, okay?”


    Helen calmed the siblings down and left, looking worried.


    The moment she left, Minerva and Tate started smiling. “Told you. Just act innocent, cry a bit, say you’ll


    jump off a building, and she’ll start to pity you. And now she doesn’t even want us to give her the money


    back anymore.” Tateughed.


    Minerva had a smug look on her face. “I did well, right? Cried a lot thanks to the eye drops I put in


    beforehand. Couldn’t have fooled her otherwise.”


    Tate gave her a thumbs up. “You rock, Minnie!”


    Minerva let out a chuckle, but then she sighed. “Goddammit. I didn’t see that oneing. Never thought


    Peter’s a scammer. And he scammed me out of seven million! Why did I even fall for him in the first


    ce?”


    Tate spat. “Foreigner my foot. He’s worse than your regr Cathay guy. You shouldn’t put your trust in


    them from now on, Minnie.”


    Minerva waved him down. “No, Tate. You can’t make a hasty generalization about them. Peter’s one


    person. Foreigners are still better in general. Besides, it’s all Cathay’s fault he turned out this way. He


    used to be a good guy. It’s the people here who led him astray.”


    Tate pouted. He didn’t think his sister’s reasoning was logical. “Enough talk about him, Minnie. He’s


    already gone.”


    Minerva gritted her teeth. “But he scammed me out of seven million!”


    “So? It’s not your money. It’s the Cunninghams’. Why are you so angry about it? Besides, we still have


    three million left.”
