Falling for My Contractual Wife

Chapter 20

As expected, on the other end of the phone, Daisy exchanged a few symbolic pleasantries before getting straight to the point. “Grace, your brother doesn’t have enough money to cover his medical expenses this month. Can you lend him some money?”

Daisy’s straightforward words left Grace feeling a sense of unease.

In the past, she didn’t have a job, but Brian would provide her with a monthly allowance. Having grown

money, she always gave it without hesitation.

However, now, although Brian provided her with a monthly allowance, her recent expenses for taking care of Louise had been substantial. As a result, she did not save much money.

Moreover, with a child on the way, there were even more expenses to consider in the future.

Daisy didn’t hear an immediate agreement from her, and she became anxious. “What’s wrong? Don’t you want to lend the money anymore?”

“Mom, I’ve been going to the hospital often lately, and I don’t have much money left,” Grace stated, pursing her lips and speaking solemnly.

Daisy didn’t even listen to the words “going to the hospital.” All she heard was her saying she didn’t have any money.

“You married into such a wealthy family; how could you possibly be short on money? Even if Brian only supported you for three years, he wouldn’t mistreat you during that time!” she said harshly.

“I know you’ve always been prideful. Have you rejected all the things he gave you? Here’s the deal: if you don’t give me money, just pick any item he has gifted you over the years and give it to me,” Daisy said, adding a sarcastic remark, “Dealing with ungrateful people is a real challenge!”

Grace’s heart grew cold, and she didn’t want to argue with Daisy anymore. “How much?” she asked.

“Two thousand dollars,” Daisy replied.

“I’ll transfer it to you shortly,” Grace responded.
