This Amount of Money Is Nothing to You
Although annoyed, Helen still asked in concern, “How much are the compensation fees?”
“F-Five million.”
Widening her eyes in shock, Helen exclaimed, “What?! 5 million? Y-You want me to fork out 5 million for
you?”
“I-It’s 5 million each person…” Chloe added in a whisper with her head hanging low.
Dumbstruck, Helen said, “5 million for each casualty? That means it’s 20 million for four casualties! What
nonsense are you speaking about? How the hell am I supposed to get this amount of money for you?”
With her head still hanging low, Chloe muttered after a long moment of silence, “Um, Helen… maybe
we’ll need 23 million because… we have to compensate another person who was injured.”
Is she serious?! Helen thought, so angry that she almost suffered a stroke. At that moment, she had to
look at her sister in a brand new light. The innocent and friendly sister she once knew was gone, and in
her place was a vain and selfish woman. People change indeed, she thought with a sigh and waved her
hand. “I’m sorry, but I don’t have money.”
Panic-stricken, Chloe stammered, “But Helen, your apartment alone is worth tens of millions, the market
value of your company is worth more than a billion, and you have Wellness Herbary and the pharmacy in
your name. In addition, the South Suburb that belongs to Matthew’s construction company is said to be
worth tens of billions now. So, how is it possible that you don’t have the money? All I need is just 23
million! Please help me save Tate, Helen. He’s still young and can’t go to jail at the prime of his youth.
His life is done for if he does!”
“Aunt Helen, this little bit of money is nothing to your family. In fact, it’s just the tip of an iceberg, but to
us, it’s enough to save our family. In the past, Mom was willing to give you half of her income, and as the
saying goes, kindness begets kindness. We’re not asking for half of your family fortune, just this small
amount of money. Th-There’s no reason for you to turn us down!” Minerva added.
Glaring at them, Helen replied, “I’m grateful for Chloe’s help back then, but that doesn’t mean that I
should give my all to help her out. You should have some conscience as a person too. I’ll definitely help
you guys out even if it costs me everything I have if you guys are in the right. But, ask yourselves
honestly whether you are in the right this time, and ask yourselves how you’ve been treating us from the
moment you returned until now. We paid for the compensation the last time Tate hit someone with a car.
After that, you guys were the ones who caused the trouble with Mr. Harrison, the Lachs and that 10
million incident. I’ve always regarded both of you as my own children, but ask yourselves how you’ve
treated me instead. While thinking of me as a dumb fool whom you can easily manipulate, you are
jealous and keep trying to cheat money out of us. All this shows that you’ve never regarded me as your
relative and you only come to me when you’re in trouble. So, why do I have to help you guys out again
this time and even fork out 23 million for you?”
Her words sent Chloe and Minerva into a moment of silence, and after a while, Minerva muttered softly,
“I’ve really realized all my mistakes, Aunt Helen. I’ll definitely change from now on and won’t ever do
something like this again. I’m begging you, please save Tate. Just this time, okay?”
When she was speaking, Helen saw a sparkle of joy in her eyes that was also contemptuous, and she
knew that she wasn’t sincere about her apology at all. Again, Minerva was lying to her just to get the
compensation fees, and she had never reflected on her own actions!
