Chapter 1670: 406: Shocking Scam!_2 Chapter 1670: 406: Shocking Scam!_2 Olivia Armstrong wanted to make a fortune from this fund, but she was too embarrassed to say it outright; thus, she pretended to be occupied with her phone.
Wennie had several million in savings–if she invested all of it in this fund, the daily earnings would be quite substantial.
Why bother drawing comics anymore?
She wouldn't be that foolish!
The fund manager had already told her.
In this society, no one truly cares about you; you should just quietly amass a fortune.
“Little auntie, you can stop worrying over nothing! I can assure you, I definitely haven't been scammed.”
Olivia continued, “Then tell me, how much did you deposit?”
“This is our family matter; it's none of your business!” Sabrina Sabir looked at Olivia and added, “Each to their own; in other words, even if I was indeed scammed, I wouldn't blame you!”
With things having reached this point, Olivia knew that further talk was futile.
Her only option was to leave the kitchen and approach her brother, Edward Armstrong.
“How much money did your wife really put in there?”
With a face full of sorrow, Edward had felt something was amiss from the very beginning, but Sabrina refused to heed his advice.
“I know about 150,000 dollars,” Edward said.
Hearing this, Olivia was very surprised, “That much?”
Edward's expression was close to tears as he nodded, “I've tried to reason with her, but she won't listen to me. What can I do?”
Upon finishing, Edward added, “And it might be even more. Because one of the cards is my salary card, it had 60,000 available on it. Due to the transaction limit, by the time I noticed, there were only 20,000 left! I changed the password afterward! She even threw a fit over this!”
Sabrina was a beautiful woman with a strong personality, known for her beauty far and wide.
Being naive and honest, Edward had always been overshadowed by Sabrina.
Especially since a local ruffian who had gone with him to ask for Sabrina's hand in marriage became rich overnight.
After learning about this, Sabrina became even more overbearing, berating Edward for his lack of ability.
Otherwise, she would have been the factory director's wife by now!
Actually.
After that ruffian made it big, Sabrina had tried to approach him.
But why would a newly wealthy man fancy a middle-aged woman past her prime? Not only did he reject Sabrina, but he also humiliated her severely.
After returning, Sabrina cried for three days and three nights.
Edward witnessed all of this.
He still chose to forgive Sabrina, after all, she was the mother of his two children.
However, instead of improving, Sabrina's behavior grew increasingly outrageous. She ruled both over the household and him, almost to the point of humiliating him at every turn!
Olivia frowned slightly.
She knew that the situation had escalated.
It was a foregone conclusion that Sabrina had been duped. Olivia couldn't meddle too much anymore and went into the kitchen, “Sabrina, you're being so foolish! How could you deposit so much money into that one account? Haven't you considered what you would do if you were swindled? That's the life savings of your whole family over several years!”
Sabrina turned off the stove and looked at herself, “I'll say it again–I'm perfectly lucid! I haven't been scammed!”
The tension between them was palpable, the atmosphere strained.
Just then, Christina Armstrong came home from work and noticed that something was off, immediately making her way to the kitchen to inquire, “Little auntie, what's going on between you and my mom?”
Sabrina was a savvy woman and never offended Olivia.
After all, Olivia was no longer the naive country woman she once was.
Seeing Christina arrive, Olivia rapidly took Christina's hand, “Christina, you're back just in time. Listen to this and tell me who's in the wrong!”
Olivia briefly explained how Sabrina had been scammed.
Christina had heard of similar incidents before, but she never imagined her mother would become the main character in such a scenario!
“Mom, the little aunt is right; you've fallen for a scam! Please transfer the money back as soon as possible!”
Olivia continued, “See, even Christina agrees! Don't be foolish any longer! Quickly get the money out!”
Sabrina rolled her eyes at Christina.
This little ingrate, always betraying her own family.
She couldn't even recognize her own mother!
It was at this point, Edward stepped into the kitchen, beseeching her earnestly, “Sabrina, look, everyone is saying you've been duped. Please don't be stubborn any longer! Transfer the money back quickly!”
Sabrina was livid.
“You all from the Armstrong Clan are too bullying! Ganging up against one person like this!”
