Chapter 618 Nadine couldn't quite figure out why these people seemed to have a subconscious bias toward the strong. As soon as she mentioned Brad's name, the atmosphere shifted tically.
Noticing the change in sentiment, David reiterated, "Listen, we really are her parents. It hasn't been easy raising her all these years. It's only fair for us to ask her for smoney in return, don't you think?" Jennifer panicked when she witnessed how quickly the tides had turned with just a few words from Nadine. "Your father is right! We raised you, and now it's tfor you to repay us! Your father is sick and needs money for treatment. You need to help us out right now!" Her goal was simple: take the money and leave. She planned to extort Nadine for scash first, then use photos or videos to blackmail Jean for even more. If she could double-dip, why wouldn't she? Samuel, noticing that Nadine still had no intention of giving them any money, pursed his lips before dropping to his knees in front of her.

If you could just talk to Brad, he will definitely help us! I'm begging you! Nadine, you can hate me, yell at me, or even hit me, but you can't just turn a blind eye to Dad's illness!" Tears began to stream down his face, and he tried to wrap his arms around Nadine's legs. Luckily, she dodged him, avoiding his desperate attempt.
As soon as Samuel dropped to his knees, the onlooker's hearts softened, and they started reprimanding Nadine. "Young lady, your father is ill. What's the harm in asking your husband for smoney to help out your family? How can you be so heartless?" "Honestly, we didn't want to get involved at first, but your behavior is simply unacceptable! Your father is ill, so can't you spare smoney for his treatment? It's the least you could do!" "Your ancestors must be rolling in their graves! Who knows, they might just cback to haunt you!" "Listen, young lady, if I were you, I'd just give them the money. Any problem that can be solved with money isn't a real problem. Your dad's sick, so just help him!" The self-proclaimed saints chimed in with various opinions. Everyone seemed to feel sorry for David, painting Nadine as a heartless daughter.
Noticing the crowd rallying behind him, Samuel pulled Jennifer down to kneel next to him in front of Nadine, wiping away his tears.
Nadine, on the other hand, looked at the stirred-up crowd as if they were fools, her eyes filled with disdain. "Even a box of crayons has more brains than this lot," she thought.
Glancing at the family of three kneeling in front of her, she couldn't help but find the situation amusing. Jennifer wasn't the sharpest tool in the shed, so it was no surprise that her son wasn't exactly bright either.
Did they honestly believe that dropping to their knees would make her give in? Pathetic.

After scanning the group of people who were pointing fingers at her and Nadine's gaze landed on the person who was the loudest. "Did a donkey kick you in the head
one too many times? When have I not given them any money? Look closely. Does this look like someone who's here to ask for money? If this man was truly ill and ctowith his medical records, l'a be willing to help out, even if it was just out of pity!
"But I want you guys to take a good look at hdidn't call me, didn't consult me, and didn't ever reach out e to my boss. He just chere to make a scene! This is nothing but an attempt to guilt-tripinto giving him money!"
