Chapter 37 A Mothers Sacrifice Willow followed the sales clerk to the handbag department .
Upon arrival , her eyes immediately landed on several luxury bags .
Her pupils dilated in disbelief , These bags … The salesman noticed her pause and followed her gaze .
These are second hand bags that a wealthy lady brought in earlier .
Are you interested , Ms.
Willow ! Willow wasnt interested ; she recognized these bags .
Most of them were Hemiic , limited editions from all over the world .
Even the cheapest one had cost nearly a million at the time of purchase She knew this because these bags unmistakably belonged to her mother .
At that moment , she finally understood why the maid had mentioned that her mother had taken many bags with her when she left the house earlier .
She had brought them here to sell them But why ? As the wife of the chairman of the Bennett Corporation , she shouldnt be short of money .
If she wasnt short of money , why did she sell her bags ? And not just any bags , but the ones she usually cherished and rarely used .
Something was definitely wrong .
A feeling of foreboding washed over Willow .
Countless thoughts raced through her mind .
There had been no news of a financial crisis at home recently .
Although the Eastgate project was highly competitive , with the Bennett familys wealth , they shouldnt have to sell bags to raise funds If it wasnt for the family or the company , then the only possible reason was … Suddenly , she thought of something and quickly pulled out her phone and frantically called her mother .
The call connected , and her mothers soft voice came through .
Sweetheart , are you up yet ? Im up , Mom .
Where are you ? Im on my way to the hospital to visit Laurie .
Do you need anything ? Willows grip on the phone tightened .
Mom had just sold her bags and was on her way to see Lauren .
Is the planning to secretly give the money from the bags to Lauren ? No , I would never allow such a thing to happen ! Everything in the Lauren family was mine .
That bitch Lauren didnt deserve to get a single cent .
Nothing , Mom .
Drive safely , Willow said calmly and hung up .
She immediately dialed her fathers number .
As soon as the call was connected , she blurted out , Dad , hurry to the hospital ! Mom has sold her bags and is planning to give the money to that bitch , Lauren .
Willow , dont worry .
Ill go over there right now to stop her Willow smiled triumphantly and continued to look through the handbags and jewelry , Meanwhile , in the hospital , Alice faced Lauren .
This time she seemed much more confident .
Lauren , who was adept at reading people , noticed her mothers cheerful expression and guessed that the 1.4 million dollars 12:25 PM DO Chapter 37 A Mothers Sacrifice Although she was eager , she maintained a calm demeanor .
+8 Pearls Alice sat by the hospital bed and lovingly held Laurens hand .
She first inquired about his health , then pulled out a card .
Laurie , I told you that Id do my best to fulfill your wishes .
This card is worth 1.4 million dollars .
Once you take it , lets put the past behind us and never bring it up again .
Laurens heart leapt with joy , but her expression remained neutral .
With this 1.4 million .
I would no longer have to fear the Bennett familys threats .
Just as she was about to take the card from her mothers hand , the door to the hospital room was violently kicked open .
Both Lauren and Alice were startled by the sudden noise .
David rushed in , and without saying a word , he slapped Laurens hand hard , snatching the card from Alices hand .
Alice was stunned .
David , what are you doing ? Why didnt you discuss giving her money with me first ? David roared , glaring at Lauren as if she were an enemy Alice rolled her eyes .
Oh , its not that much , only 1.4 million dollars .
Weve wronged Laurie over the years .
Its only right to give her some money L4 million dollars ? Does she deserve that much ? Shes good for nothing but bringing shame to our family .
If she were half as reasonable as Willow , I might consider giving her the money .
But shes stubborn and unrepentant .
She even tried to stab me once .
Ive worked hard for this money , and I wont let an ungrateful wretch like her have it .
David angrily stuffed the card into his pocket .
Laurens hand stung from the slap , but she stubbornly held back her tears and stared at her father in silence .
David met her gaze without flinching and sneered , If you want the money , its not impossible .
As long as you agree to a marriage alliance to secure the Bennett familys position among Hoverdales elite , Ill give you the 1.4 million dollars as a dowry .
If you refuse , dont expect a single cent .
