Chapter 721 The Pitiful Person
Cora Ginger walked out of the restaurant, aimlessly wandering the streets.The phone in her bag vibrated non-stop, and she took a long time before answering it, hearing Watt Ginger’s anxious voice.
"Cora, have you found someone or not? Hurry up and get your brother out! How can you let him suffer in there?"
Then came her mother’s cries, Tatum Gomez: "Cora, quickly think of something. The whole family is counting on you. Zack is your own brother. How can you say you won’t care about him anymore!"
"Since you were little, your brother adored you. Whenever someone bullied you, he would step in and defend you, right? Now your brother just went to your boyfriend’s house to get something! Just beg your boyfriend to say a few nice words at the police station, such a simple thing!"
Cora hadn’t rested since last night, constantly bombarded by her parents. Now hearing these words, she was almost bursting with anger!
She shouted loudly, "He’s not my boyfriend anymore! Wasn’t it you who forced me to break up with him? How come now you’re saying he’s my boyfriend?!"
Watt Ginger was completely dismissive: "Even if you broke up, can’t an ex-boyfriend help out? Don’t make excuses! I heard from your brother that the bodyguard really likes you and used to sneaky come by our house looking for you!"
Tatum Gomez, heartbroken for her son, cried endlessly: "You must quickly let him get your brother out! Is prison a place for people? If your brother doesn’t die in there, he’ll lose a layer of skin! If the bodyguard won’t help, find someone else. Aren’t you acquainted with many rich and influential people? Like Young Master Hunter, Boss Duff, and Boss Barnes; go beg them! Go now!"
"Also, find a way to borrow money immediately! The police want us to pay fines, and if we don’t, the sentence will be heavier! Your mom and I can’t come up with the money; go ask Boss Barnes!"
"My chest hurts a lot today, and the medicine at home is already used up. Cora, you need to buy more for me. I think my condition might be worsening and may still need hospitalization and chemotherapy; we urgently need money! You haven’t been working recently, Cora, that’s unacceptable! We pampered you so much when you were young, buying whatever you wanted. Now it’s your turn to be filial to us!"
Cora listened to her parents’ anxious and noisy voices and squatted down on the side of the road, breaking down in tears.
Why does her family always have endless debts and people to beg?
Zack Ginger still owed nearly ten million in gambling debts!
The price of Tatum Gomez’s imported anti-cancer drugs was exorbitant, not to mention chemotherapy, and plus Watt Ginger’s leg treatment, their monthly medical expenses were up to a million!
How much could she earn from working?
All the pressure was on her alone, did they want to drive her to death?
She cried for a very, very long time, but when she finished, she sat on the roadside feeling lost.
Was she really going to let her brother serve several years in prison?
Was she going to let her mother’s condition worsen to the point of death? They spent so much money, barely saving a life! That was her mom!
And her father’s leg, was she going to let him stay crippled? He’s only in his fifties!
Cora bit her lip, stood up, got on a bus, and went to find Peter Barnes.
At the Barnes Family, Peter Barnes looked troubled: "Cora, it’s not that I don’t want to help, I really don’t have the money right now. Plus you just said your brother was actually set up by Natalie Niles to end up in the police station? Then I really don’t dare interfere. Look at how she beat me. If I help get the person she sent to the police station out, she could turn around and beat me up again and throw me in jail! I don’t dare offend her!"
