Brandon heard Allison's words and responded with a scoff, "Huh? You can raise money? Where are you going to get it from? I've investigated your family! Your mother has been sick for years, and on top of that you have a brother who doesn't work and likes to gamble. Your relatives and friends avoid your family like they're avoiding the plague. And 80 thousand is not a small amount of money. Even if you have relatives or friends willing to help, who could gather that much money for you? You think you can raise the money? Hahaha! Let me see you try."
Allison pursed her lips but didn't say anything as she dialed a phone number she had just saved two days ago.
At this time, Lachlan had just returned home with Nora when he saw Allison's call come in and answered it immediately.
"Allison?" He was somewhat surprised.
"Lachlan... I... I..."
After being provoked by Brandon earlier, Allison impulsively called Lachlan.
However, now that she was actually facing him on the phone, it was difficult for her to speak up.
"What's wrong? Are you having some difficulties?" Lachlan smiled and sensed Allison's hesitation so he asked proactively.
With his question came an ease in which some things were easier said than done for Allison.
"I... want to borrow some money from you..."
Summoning up courage despite herself; Allison spoke firmly after saying this but her face turned red instantly afterwards.
While feeling anxious about what Lachlan would say or do next; there was also an uneasiness within her heart as well.
Allison worried whether Lachlan would refuse outright or even look down upon her...
Brandon watched nearby as he saw how Allison looked like at this moment before sneering, "Haha... Don't pretend anymore Allison! Just by looking at how unfamiliar both of you are towards each other tells me everything I need to know! Even if this person has enough money to lend out; once he hears the amount involved here, then there is no way he will agree! Tsk tsk..."
"How much do you want?" At this moment, Lachlan asked naturally without any hint of surprise in his tone.
Upon hearing his natural tone, Allison felt somewhat relieved while tentatively asking, "Eighty thousand dollars, is that okay?"
After speaking, she quickly added, "If it isn't convenient for you, then forget about it. It's alright."
"Convenient! It's just eighty thousand. Give me your card number and I'll transfer it to you right away," Lachlan said with a smile, nonchalantly.
"Really?" Allison was surprised that Lachlan agreed so readily.
"Yes, give me the card number!" Lachlan demanded.
"Oh..." Allison sent her bank card number via text message with excitement in her heart.
At this moment, Brandon sneered beside her. "You're putting on quite a show! Allison, you don't need to act in front of me. Your mother is waiting for you at the hospital and if she doesn't have money for treatment, it will be your own problem! You should just agree to Dillon's offer. He won't treat you badly! Tsk tsk..."
Just then Allison received a notification from her mobile banking app showing that eighty thousand dollars had been deposited into her account. She was overjoyed and touched by this unexpected turn of events.
The next second she slammed her phone onto Brandon's face and said triumphantly, "Mr. Hunter, you can shut up now."
After seeing the notification on her phone screen clearly, Brandon froze there for a moment with an uncertain expression on his face.
Allison smirked proudly before grabbing her bag and leaving work.
Watching Allison leave, Brandon muttered under his breath, "Damn it! Has this girl found another sugar daddy? Could it be... she borrowed money from loan sharks?"
The next second he turned around quickly dialing someone's phone number.
