Honorable Hubby Behind Me

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 sdistance 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 tto 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 in? 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 scar. 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 to

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 it.

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 tshe went back to her

parent's place. Now that they had two luxury cars, Lydia probably had the impression that it was easy for Yvonne

to pocket smoney 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 cby tomorrow?" Samuel

reasoned.

"I don't care." Yvonne said angrily, "It has nothing to d O 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 shot water to

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

"Yvonne, you have to helpthis time. | 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 | can take out two hundred thousand? | don't even have fifty thousand in my savings,"

Yvonne said.

"You were able to take smoney from the company to buy the cars. What is two hundred thousand? Just be

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. | 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 | 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 askif it's worth it? After being married to you for so many

years, is there one twhen | 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.
