Chapter 1671: 406: Shocking Scam!_3 Chapter 1671: 406: Shocking Scam!_3 Olivia Armstrong felt helpless, “Sabrina, look at what you're saying. How are we bullying you? We're just afraid you'll be scammed! Christina is your own daughter, could she even bully you? She's young, and young people definitely see more than we do, and even she says it's a scam. Why won't you listen?”
“Her?” Sabrina pointed at Christina Armstrong, with an expression full of disgust, “She, a middle school dropout with no education, what does she know?”
Middle school dropout?
Illiterate.
Every word Sabrina said nearly choked Christina Armstrong.
She could hardly stand straight.
Seeing Christina's face turn a shade paler, Isla Astir immediately went to her side, “Cousin, are you alright?”
“I'm fine,” Christina shook her head with a wry smile, “Actually, I'm used to it.”
With such a mother, what else could she be but resigned?
Isla Astir sighed softly.
As an onlooker, she couldn't understand why her aunt was treating Christina this way.
Was it just because she favored boys over girls?
Thinking about how she herself had been discarded for the same sexist reasons, a trace of despondency crossed Isla's eyes.
However.
At the same time, she felt very fortunate.
Fortunate to have met her current parents.
With this thought, Isla Astir quickly recovered.
Meanwhile, the argument continued.
No matter how everyone tried to persuade her, Sabrina refused to acknowledge that she had been scammed.
Right at that moment.
Eva Webster and Liam Webster also arrived.
And with them were their parents.
Upon entering, Windy Armstrong sensed the tension in the atmosphere and walked over to Isla Astir, lowering her voice, “What's going on?”
“Auntie,” Isla first politely greeted, then succinctly explained the situation.
It was clear to any astute person what was happening.
Windy frowned, “How could your little aunt be so muddle-headed?”
Why on earth had Edward Armstrong married such a person?
Really upsetting!
Windy was here to celebrate her brother's birthday, hoping for a joyful time.
Who knew she would encounter such an incident.
As she spoke, Windy headed into the kitchen.
No sooner had she entered than she took on the role of the eldest sister, pointing at Sabrina, “You brainless thing! You've been duped and you're still counting money for them! Quickly reverse the money transfer from your account! Otherwise, this isn't over today!”
Sabrina was already furious.
And this made her even angrier!
Now it seemed anyone could point their finger at her nose and insult her.
“Who do you think you are? What gives you the right to point fingers here! It's my money, I'll do what I want with it! Get out of my house this instant!”
She dreaded Olivia because Olivia had a wealthy and imposing daughter, and she could occasionally exploit Olivia's connections.
But what about Windy?
She wasn't afraid of Windy in the least.
Furious upon hearing this, Windy retorted, “What 'your money'? How much money can you earn? This money is the hard-earned cash of my brother and my niece! The one who should leave is you!”
Windy had long disapproved of Sabrina.
This woman was arrogant and incompetent.
She had no skills yet insisted on meddling in everything.
Sabrina, pointing at Edward Armstrong's nose, exclaimed, “Your sister and your niece are ganging up to bully me! Are you going to do something about this or not!”
“My dear little aunt! They're trying to help you! If you just transfer the money back, there'll be no problem!” Edward Armstrong was close to tears, “I'm begging you, can't you just do that?”
Today was Edward Armstrong's birthday, and hadn't he wished to celebrate happily?
Alas!
Sabrina slapped Edward Armstrong across the face, “You spineless creature! It's one thing for you to be incompetent, but now you're stopping your mother from making money!”
Seeing her still daring to hit Edward Armstrong, Windy rolled up her sleeves, ready to step in.
Edward Armstrong held Windy back, “Sis! Let it go! As long as she comes to her senses, taking a slap from her is nothing to me!”
Windy gave Edward Armstrong a look filled with disdainful anger.
In the end, it was Edward Armstrong's own lack of backbone that allowed Sabrina to ride roughshod over him.
Liam Webster stepped in between the two, calmly saying, “Auntie, I work in finance too, and I've never heard of any fund that offers a twenty percent return in a day. It's definitely a scam. There's an old saying, 'you can't catch a wolf if you're afraid to lose your sheep.' The reason why you were able to withdraw the 30,000 Dollars earlier is because the scammer was baiting you! My mother and aunt are right, you haven't transferred the money that long ago, you might still be able to get it back. Please just try.”
