Noble Husband At the Door (Antonio) novel Chapter 67

At the hotel entrance, the two groups parted ways. Before leaving, FLora remarked, "Lydia, I’m taking Steven to the hospital first. We'll meet you tomorrow t o talk about the money.”

She did not give Lydia a chance to reply before she and her family up and left.

"Are you all right, Steven? Are you seriously injured? If you aren’t, we won't go to the hospital. No use wasting money there," Lydia asked her son after they walked some distance away. 2

Although Steven had been viciously beaten up, they were all superficial wounds and probably were not that serious. It was fine if he did not go see a doctor. Instead, something else seriously worried him.

"Dad, you’d better tell Aunt Lydia to prepare the money tomorrow. Let’s leave as soon as we get it," Steven said.

"Didn't Aunt Lydia already tell you that it takes time to withdraw cash? She can’t rush the process in one or two days," Ferdinand replied.

"Dad, were you the one who got your brain smashed i n? Is it remotely possible for that fatty to have slipped? Obviously Samuel hired a few thugs to beat him up. It was that fatty's bad luck that he didn't have enough men with him today. Do you really think

someone like him will just forgive Samuel and the Sues that easily?" Steven explained.

That made sense to Flora. They would have no more money if the Sues were being hunted for revenge." Okay. We'll make them withdraw the money tomorrow, just in case anything happens,” she decided. "If the fatty really takes revenge on them, we won't be able to get the money. Then what will happen to us?"

"Right.” Steven nodded his head. The family of three did not care a lick about how the Sues would end up if the fatty wanted revenge. They were only concerned about the money.

"All right. I'll call her after we've found a place to stay," Ferdinand said.

Samuel and Yvonne rode in the same car. The former felt that something was wrong about how Flora had spoken about money before they left the hotel.

"What was Flora talking about just now?” Samuel asked, suspicious.

Yvonne’s temper flared when he raised the question. She did not understand why her mother would agree t o lend them money, and not just a small sum, but two hundred thousand bucks. Additionally, there was practically zero chance of them getting the money back once it was 'lent' to them. 5

"It's all my mother's fault. My uncle wanted to borrow two hundred thousand bucks, and she just agreed to i t. Two. Hundred. Thousand. Let's see where she manages to find that amount of money." Yvonne's expression indicated that she was truly exasperated. 2

Samuel was well-aware of how prideful Lydia was, and she was also ridiculed every time she went back t 0 her parent’s place. Now that they had two luxury cars, Lydia probably had the impression that it was easy for Yvonne to pocket some money from her company. That was why she promised to lend them two hundred thousand-to uplift her reputation.

Lydia's features crumpled, then she plopped onto the ground and sobbed.

"Who asked you to make such empty promises? Two hundred thousand is not two bucks. Why did you agree to give them that amount of money?” Godfrey said, unable to take it anymore.

Lydia cast a piercing glare at her husband. "Would I have such a horrendous reputation among my family members if you weren't such a worthless b*stard? I'm doing this for the pride of the Sues!"

"Is pride worth two hundred thousand bucks?"

Godfrey retorted. 3

"Is it worth it? Godfrey Sue, you have the gall to ask m e if it's worth it? After being married to you for so many years, is there one time when I went back without having everyone laugh behind my back? I'm willing to pay two hundred thousand for my pride!" Lydia sniped back.

Yvonne knew that her mother had been ridiculed aplenty among the Johns. She was not only a mere gnat in the Sue family, but she was mocked even by her own family. Besides, she was afraid that the relationship between her parents would sour if Lydia continued to create a racket like this. "Mom, get up first. Don't cry anymore. I’ll help you think of a way."

Lydia's tears immediately stopped when she heard this. "My daughter is the best," she said.
