Chapter 90
Secondly, why did I happen to be absent from work when this project was also delayed?
I always felt like the negotiation time for this project was in sync with my schedule.
Before, I felt that the CEO gave me this project opportunity because he saw my hard work and wanted to promote me.
But now, I feel like this project was intentionally created for me by the CEO.
Moreover, as the president of one party, he seemed to be overly friendly towards me, a stranger.
However, I indeed did not know this Mr. Pruitt, and he had absolutely no reason to treat me in such a caring manner.
So, could those strange things also be just my imagination?
Just as I was thinking, Mr. Pruitt’s gentle voice came through the phone again.
“That’s it then, you rest first. Next time, remember to inform the company in advance if you have something to do.”
He hung up the phone as soon as he finished speaking.
I held the phone and sat for a long time.
After the phone call ended, the missed call notification showed on the mobile phone.
Chapter20
I opened and glanced at it. There were two calls from Winston and three from my dad.
When I remembered that my father had once again accumulated a debt of seven million, my heart felt suffocated.
Last time’s nine million, I lost my dignity, lost my face, and used my body to borrow it from him.
What about the seven million this time?
And this time, such a thing happened that I didn’t even have the qualification to go and talk to him.
He now wishes that I were dead.
This time, even if I committed suicide in front of him, he probably wouldn’t lend me any money.
Moreover, he was not obligated to lend me money.
What can I give back to others if I say it’s a loan?
This body?
Ha!
Nowadays, even if I begged him to sleep with me, he would not even bother.
The more I think, the more I despise myself.
I covered my face, feeling helpless and in pain.
Suddenly, my phone received a text message, which was sent by my dad.
If you don’t care about your father, then I will personally go and ask Reynaldo for it!
I shook all over and suddenly stood up.
How could my dad personally go to find Reynaldo for money?
Grandma was still being treated in the hospital.
Reynaldo already hated me to the extreme, and Ronan also despised my family. How could my dad still bother them?
I hurriedly opened my phone and called my dad.
But I called several times in a row, and my dad didn’t answer.
I called my mom again.
As soon as the phone was answered, my mom started crying on the other end.
She said, “Ralda, why did you call? Do you also know about your dad’s failed investment? Your dad, he really can’t be mentioned now. I just said a few words to him, and he…”
“Mom, where’s my dad? Is he at home?” I interrupted my mom’s words hastily and asked anxiously.
My mother cried and said, “He was just yelling at me at home, saying that your brother is unfilial, and then saying that you are unfilial. He also said that you don’t take care of him, so he will figure things out on his own.”
Anyway, he stormed out in the end, and I didn’t know where he went.
Oh, by the way, before he left, it seems like he also called Reynaldo. I wonder if Reynaldo answered or not.
My heart sank, and I hurriedly ran back towards the direction of the hospital.
My mom cried worriedly on the phone, “Ralda, has something happened? Your dad…”
“It’s okay, he probably went to ask Reynaldo for money. I’ll go check, don’t worry.”
My mother fell silent for a moment and asked, “Ralda, honestly tell Mom, what is going on between you and Reynaldo now? Didn’t your brother say last time that you two had already divorced?”
Whenever my mom asked about this, my nose would feel a little sour.
I said sadly, “Yes, I have already divorced him, so how can Dad still go to him and ask for money? So much money, how am I supposed to
Is repay it?”
“Oh my, your father is really something. He never even considered your situation. He truly, only cares about himself now, regardless of the well–being of us people. Ralda, what do you think we should do now?”
My mother said, and then she started crying again.
I took a deep breath and said in a calm tone, “It’s okay, I will go find him now. As for the debt he owes from this investment, our family will always find a way to handle it.”
