Chapter 956


    Andrius choked at Madeline’s words and exined, “I left in a hurry this morning and forgot about it. I’m


    really sorry.”


    “Don’t be!” Sandra quickly intervened to smooth things over. “The most important thing is that you


    brought the medicine that we needed this month. Other gifts aren’t necessary.”


    “Tsk.” Madeline nced at the bag of medicine and sneered “Medicine? They’re probably just random


    weeds they plucked from the wild. Only an ignorant old woman like you would treasure it.


    “As for condolences. What are they worth if they’re not hundreds of thousands or millions? That’s not


    even enough for me to buy a handbag.”


    Andrius‘ frown deepened.


    At those words, Sandra’s expression immediately stiffened, and she reprimanded, “Maddy, how could


    you say that? They’re being kind. Those herbs have helped to alleviate some of your father’s and my


    health problems. How can you be like this?”


    Madeline did not change her tune because of her mother’s reprimanding “Did I say something wrong?


    What’s the use of some weeds?


    “My brother was quite pitiful. He lost his life on the battlefield, and all he got was a worthless certificate.


    What good is that? It can’t be sold for money or put food on the table. It’spletely useless.


    “The military is too much, too. My brother is a martyr who sacrificed his life for the country. They should


    give us several hundreds of thousands, or a house at the very least.”


    Sandra was just about to discipline Madeline.


    However, Andrius said, “You’re right. Your brother sacrificed his life for the country. Giving several


    hundreds of thousands or a house is only appropriate.”


    “Heh… So, will you?” Madeline sneered. “You’re just a bunch of paupers who use useless herbs to fool


    people and call it giving condolences.”


    She was getting worked up. In her peripheral vision, she noticed Lyra who came out of the kitchen after


    hearing themotion, and instantly felt jealousy when she saw Lyra’s youthful beauty.


    “Get out.” Madeline’s face twisted. “You’re trying to mooch off a meal from my family in exchange for a


    bag of useless weeds? That’s disgusting!”


    At those words, Sandra and Lyra’s expressions changed.


    When Madeline saw them not reacting, she walked over to Lyra to push her outside.


    Ring, ring-


    At that moment, her phone rang.


    “Who is calling at this time?” she muttered and took her phone out of her pocket.


    It was thetest and most expensive model on the market, still wrapped in a brand–new phone case


    which created a stark contrast with the simple room.


    Madeline nced at the screen and instantly paled. She turned the screen toward herself, not letting


    Sandra see who it was, and hurriedly rushed into her own room.


    Bam!


    After locking the door, she answered the door and immediately began to plead, “Trent, please give me


    two more days. I can’te up with that much money at the moment.”


    “You can’t?” On the other end of the phone, Trent chuckled mercilessly. “Don’t forget, Madeline. We


    made it explicitly clear that you had to pay back the fifty grand within two months when you borrowed it


    from us back then.


    “You even provided your home address and family details. You don’t want me to tell your parents, do


    you?”


    Madeline panicked upon hearing this.


    If her parents found out that she had borrowed money at such a high interest rate, they would break


    her legs!

    “Trent, I’m begging you! Please… Please don’te to my house….” Madeline sobbed, “As long as


    you don’te to my house, I’ll do anything.”


    “Anything?” Trent sneered. “Madeline, I’m not easily fooled. You better speak clearly. Do you really


    mean anything?”


    Madeline was afraid of the situation being exposed and reluctantly agreed, “Yes. I’ll do anything as long


    as you don’te to my house.”


    “Great.” Trent said sinisterly, “I can give you a few more days, but you need to show me your sincerity


    today. Can you do it?”


    In order to prevent him froming to her house, Madeline gritted her teeth and agreed. “Yes.”


    “Good, then I’ll wait for you at the usual ce. Come over earlier.”


    Then, Trent hung up the phone.


    Madeline came out of the room with a straight face, acting as if nothing had happened.


    Unbeknownst to her, as a Martial Emperor expert, Andrius had remarkable hearing and heard


    everything clearly even behind a closed door.
