Chapter 678: Who dealt you such a heavy hand?
"Be obedient, definitely obedient. Whatever you ask her to do, she’ll do it!""Then let her come and stay with me for a couple of days."
"About the money..."
"We’ll see how she performs."
Zack Ginger chuckled dryly, "To be honest with you, Boss Barnes, we owe someone money, and we’re urgently waiting to repay the debt. Can you advance us a hundred thousand?"
"I don’t have such an advance rule here. If you’re unwilling for her to come, then forget it. It’s not like I’m missing her."
"Willing!"
Watt Ginger hurriedly shouted, "We’ll have Cora come right away to accompany Boss Barnes. We request you to be kind to her."
"Sure, if she’s obedient and well-behaved, she won’t miss out on the benefits."
More than an hour later.
Cora Ginger appeared at Peter Barnes’ residence.
This was a place she used to stay, where she thought she’d spend the rest of her life in this elegant and luxurious house.
Walking the dog, teasing the cat, shopping at malls by day, filling her huge wardrobe with expensive and beautiful clothes.
In the evening, being held by Peter Barnes’ gentlemanly arm to dance waltzes, savoring wines worth tens of thousands, along with desserts air-flown from Switzerland.
Then, bathing in rose petals air-flown from France, having a servant do full-body essential oil massages, even having a servant trim her nails, feed her water and fruits.
The life of a wealthy wife, the top star of last year at the Royalton Club, just like a little canary, having more money than she could spend, her parents and brothers benefiting too, chauffeured in luxury cars with bodyguards, glamorous and respectable.
She dreamt of this for a very long time.
If she had never experienced such a high society life, it might have just stayed at the stage of envy and longing without too many thoughts.
But once experienced, from the extravagant heaven plunged into the destitute hell, a person becomes mad!
Her entire family had experienced the life built on money, now struggling in hell, thirsting for money more than ever before.
Without any nice clothes, Cora Ginger wore a light yellow spaghetti-strap dress today, a bit outdated in style, but bright in color, revealing her shoulders, collarbone, and half of her snowy peaks.
She had looked in the mirror, and it was very beautiful.
She wore a perfect smile she’d practiced many times, appearing vivacious and charming, "Boss Barnes, you’ve really done a number on me! Have you finally found your conscience now?"
"It’s not entirely my fault, it’s all Natalie Niles’ trap. She’s ruthless and vicious; I was forced by her too."
Peter Barnes cleanly shifted the blame, anyway, Natalie Niles had disappeared, so whatever he said goes now.
He pulled Cora Ginger’s hand and drew her into his arms, asking with concern, "What happened to your face? It’s bruised badly, even scraped. Who was so harsh on you?"
Cora Ginger’s eyes reddened, not faked, it truly hurt, truly wronged, "It was Natalie Niles who stomped on me, she almost took the lives of me and my mom!"
Peter Barnes’ feigned smile vanished instantly, "She looked for you? Are you sure it was her?"
"Of course, I’m sure! Who else could be this ruthless besides her! Why? Are you afraid of her too?"
"Why would I be afraid of her? I’m just a bit surprised. Tell me in detail what happened. I’ve met someone recently who knows how to deal with her."
Cora Ginger did not expect this unexpected gain; she deeply hated Natalie Niles!
"Here’s what happened..."
...
At five-thirty in the afternoon, Isabella Weaver got off work on time.
Harry Hunter came to pick her up. As soon as they sat in the car, Isabella Weaver’s phone received a message.
She opened it and saw it was from Zoe Lewis.
"Cora Ginger isn’t sick; her family lied."
