Bumpkin’s Rich Handsome Husband novel Chapter 1126

"I know that Wade likes you. His mother is currently undergoing cancer treatment in the hospital and owes over a million. Now she works as a secretary under Talila. But from what I know, Talila has tried multiple times to make him submit to her, but he refused every time. As a result, he has suffered a lot of beatings.

"If you pretend to be in a relationship with Wade and let me film a video or take photos, I will give you 3.75 million and help him pay off his debt. This way, I will have evidence to prove everything even if you change your mind. Skye will be able to stave his guilty off and won't marry you to make up for it."

Shirley was stunned, instantly losing her train of thought.

On the other end of the line, Sofia's voice resounded again. "You have 30 minutes to consider." She hung up the phone.

Shirley held the phone and sat down on the sofa, not knowing what to do. After hesitating for a while, she finally decided to call Wade.

Since he wasn't doing well either, it would be better for the two of them to pretend to be in a relationship. They could help each other. It would be a win-win situation.

She dialed his number. "A-Are you busy?"

"Not really. What's up?" Wade's voice was as gentle as ever.

"How's life recently?" she questioned concernedly.

Ever since returning from the hidden clan, she had only talked to him a few times on the phone. He had invited her out several times, but she refused because she didn't want him to find out about her current appearance.

Her question received no response for a while. Later, she faintly heard a self-deprecating laugh from the other end. "I'm fine, really fine."

It was a very forced answer.

Shirley bit her lip tightly, watching the clock on the wall as the seconds ticked away. There were less than eight minutes left. She clenched her fist and mustered her courage. "Wade, can I ask you for a favor?"

"Of course. It will be my honor," he agreed without hesitation. She was moved by that.

Then, she told him in detail about everything that had happened recently except the fact that she had gone to the hidden clan. She only mentioned the kidnap that transpired in Castron and disfigurement. She even highlighted that it had little to do with Skyler. She then conveyed Sofia's words to him.
