Man With Super Medical Skill (Matthew) novel Chapter 901

Chapter 901 You Put Me in a Lurch

Helen started seeing doubles and almost blacked out, but she kept herself awake. “Peter…? Is that y-your fiancé? You gave him the money?” she asked.

Minerva nodded dumbly.

Helen flew into a rage. “Why did you do that, Minerva? I told you he’s a scammer. I told you to be careful. Why didn’t you listen to me? There’s no free lunch in this world. You should have known it was too good to be true. Now you made me lose ten million. Do you have any idea how serious that is?”

But Helen stopped her. “Calm down, Minerva! Don’t do that!”

It took her a while, but she managed to stop Minerva, though Helen was already drenched in sweat. She was shivering in fear as the full impact of the situation sank in. Ten million. How am I supposed to explain myself? I mean, it’s nothing for us now, but if James finds out I gave it to Minerva, he’ll chase me out of the house!

A while of silence later, Helen made a decision. “Let’s call the police. Maybe we can get to him in time.”

However, Minerva shook her head. “No! We… We can’t call the cops, Aunt Helen.”

Helen was stunned. “Why? How are we supposed to find that scammer if we don’t call the cops?”

Helen was quiet for a long time, but in the end, she cried. “Y-You silly girl! Why did you let him do that? You’re a girl! Your marriage will be ruined! You shouldn’t have let him take your nudes!”

Minerva was bawling as well, burying her head in her hands, regretting everything she ever did, but it was already too late for regrets. “What should I do now, Aunt Helen? I-I don’t wanna live anymore. I shouldn’t have dragged you into this, Aunt Helen.” She sobbed.

All the color drained from Helen’s face. “I-I have no idea either… James will divorce me if he finds out about this. Y-You really put me in a lurch this time, Minerva.”

Minerva cried even louder. “I didn’t know it’d turn out this way! Peter’s a nice guy! A gentleman! How do you expect me to see through his lies? I don’t understand! He’s supposed to be a gentleman! How could he scam a lady like me?”
