Chapter 1672: 406: Shocking Scam! _4 Chapter 1672: 406: Shocking Scam! _4 “We are all family, how could my mom and little aunt do something that hurts your interests?”
Although Eva Webster really disliked this aunt, when it came to major right and wrong, she still had to consider the family's interests.
A moment later, Eva Webster stood up and said, “Aunt, one of my classmates' moms was scammed out of over six hundred thousand before, and she tried to commit suicide by jumping off a building. She didn't succeed, but she broke her legs, and she's still lying in the hospital! If you don't believe me, I'll connect you with my classmate right now!”
After saying this, Eva Webster took out her phone and dialed her classmate for a video call.
When her classmate heard what Eva Webster said, she was very willing to have her own mother help Sabrina Sabir.
At the same time, this could help her mother open up and realize that in this world, she was not the only one who had been deceived.
So that her mother wouldn't be depressed all day long.
Unexpectedly, Sabrina Sabir started cursing in front of the camera, “Only idiots get scammed! I'll say it once more, I have not been tricked, I am merely investing!”
Eva Webster had no choice but to take the phone and apologize to her classmate.
The classmate laughed and said, “It's okay, it seems like my mom was in a better state back then; at least she was willing to listen. Your aunt looks like she's been completely brainwashed!”
Originally, the classmate's mother was somewhat severely depressed, but after Sabrina Sabir's video debacle, her mood actually started to slowly improve.
Meanwhile here.
Everyone tried soft and hard tactics but couldn't persuade Sabrina Sabir, and in the end, they could only give up.
This kind of person, without letting her suffer a loss once, would not be able to come to her senses.
With this thought.
Olivia Armstrong and Windy Armstrong called Edward Armstrong to one side and instructed him, “From now on, you must keep a close eye on her. If that sum of money can still be transferred out, change the bank card's password immediately. If it can't be transferred, then just consider it a financial loss to avert disaster.”
Edward Armstrong nodded his face full of worry.
Now, with the incident yet to happen, he could only pin his hopes on his wife not having been scammed.
Windy Armstrong felt that this was unbearable and went over to Sabrina Sabir again, saying, “Sabrina Sabir, I'm laying it out for you today, if you have been scammed, you deserve it! Don't come to us to cry poor! Because no one will have sympathy for someone like you!”
“And nobody will pity you or lend you money!”
Sabrina Sabir looked up at Windy Armstrong, “Don't worry, even if I were to die, I wouldn't come to you to complain! And I won't need a dime from you!”
After tonight, she would be a rich woman, and it's not certain who would need whom in the future!
These people were just jealous of her, envious of her making a fortune.
And that useless man of hers was just meddling foolishly with the rest.
Married to him was truly bad luck for eight lifetimes!
Once she made big money, she would immediately take her son and divorce him.
Leaving this useless man.
Let everyone regret it to their bones!
The more Sabrina Sabir thought about it, the more smug she became.
Seeing her like this, Olivia Armstrong sighed.
She was indeed bewitched.
They had originally come to celebrate Edward Armstrong's birthday, but now with the turn of events, the birthday celebration naturally couldn't continue, so Windy Armstrong invited her sister and brother-in-law's family of three to visit Liam Webster's new house.
Sabrina Sabir being scammed was her own fault, but their lives still had to go on.
Olivia Armstrong nodded in agreement, “Sure, I haven't been to Liam's new house yet!”
Windy Armstrong continued, “Liam was able to buy that house because he got incredibly lucky. Not only did he buy it at a low price, but the loan doesn't even charge any interest, and he just has to pay back twenty thousand a month.”
School district housing in the heart of Capital City is worth forty or fifty million at least.
Liam's place was just slightly over ten million, and even now if he were to sell it for thirty million, there would be loads of people fighting to buy it.
Olivia Armstrong went on to say, “I heard about this from Liam too, the seller is his university classmate, right?”
Windy Armstrong nodded, “I've met Liam's classmate too. Such a modest person, who would have thought he would be so capable.”
Hearing this, Eva Webster felt unbearably uncomfortable.
Mr. White could have become her boyfriend.
At that time, he was just one step away from entering high society.
Eva Webster's eyes were filled with regret.
But fortunately, she now had Mandel Thompson!
Mandel wasn't any less impressive than Mr. White.
Thinking of this, Eva Webster linked arms with Olivia Armstrong, “Auntie, there's something I'd like to discuss with you.”
“What is it?” asked Olivia.
Eva went on, “Well, Auntie, I plan to stay in Capital City for my future development, so, could I possibly move in and live with Isla?”
As soon as Isla Astir heard this, she was overwhelmed.
Eva didn't have the habit of sharing a bed with someone, and for the past month, she had slept on a single bed that was less than one meter wide, afraid to even turn over at night.
Short-term was one thing, but if Eva were to stay long-term, Isla knew she couldn't handle it.
Olivia, naturally aware of her daughter's dilemma, said with a smile, “Capital City is a big place, and it's great that you want to develop your future here, Eva. There's certainly no problem with you staying at my place temporarily. When the time comes, Isla can squeeze into the single bed. However, if it's for a long-term stay, that single bed definitely won't work. We can't have our guest sleeping there, right?”
Eva's face bore a smile, but internally, she was speechless.
Her aunt was truly scheming!
If she didn't want her to stay, why didn't she just say so directly? Why offer all these seemingly noble excuses?
What's wrong with Isla sleeping on a single bed?
Aren't all university dorm beds single beds?
Everyone else can sleep on one, so why is Isla Astir so delicate?
It's laughable!
Wasn't Isla just someone who could earn some lousy money?
It really got to her head!
Olivia continued, “Eva, how about this, if you're planning to stay in Capital City for the long run, I suggest you rent a studio. Let Liam help you look for one.”
Eva wanted to stay in Capital City because of Mandel Thompson.
She wanted to share a room with Isla Astir also because of Mandel, for the only way Mandel had an excuse to visit Isla's place was if she stayed with the Astir family!
Otherwise, why would Mandel come to Isla's house?
Now, Olivia had actually rejected her request.
This left Eva speechless.
Windy Armstrong then chimed in, “Eva, have you already worked everything out with the company?”
“Yes,” Eva nodded her head.
Windy suggested, “Then how about this, your brother's apartment is well-furnished, and until he finds a girlfriend, you can live there!”
Eva flatly refused, “I don't want to live with him.”
No sooner had she said this than Eva linked arms with Olivia again, “Auntie, could you perhaps keep an eye out for any available rentals in your neighborhood? My new company is right near your community, so commuting would be convenient.”
Having put it that way, Olivia found it hard to refuse again and replied with a smile, “Sure, I'll keep an eye out when I get back.”
Eva cheerfully said, “Then I can come over to my aunt's place for free meals.”
Hearing this, Windy interjected, “Eva, don't always bother your aunt.”
Olivia responded with a smile, “No worries, no worries at all, I'm very happy to have Eva come over, it's livelier with more people.”
“Thank you, auntie.”
Country Polluton.
Police Station.
Casla hurriedly ran toward the station, so anxious that he almost fell several times.
“Professor, please slow down,” the assistant held Casla's arm.
Beads of sweat formed on Casla's forehead.
He hoped Viola Thompson was alright.
Otherwise, he was done for.
After stumbling his way to the police station lobby, Casla saw a familiar officer and immediately approached him, “Officer David, where is Professor Thompson? Where is she?”
