Find Me In Your Labyrinth novel Chapter 1222

Carmella's eyes bulged. "You spent all the money? Did you lose it all?"

A trace of embarrassment crossed Victor's face, and he awkwardly laughed, "Don't worry about how I spent it; the money's all gone. Some people in J City can drop 10 grand in one night; believe me, I was thrifty!"

Carmella couldn't believe him: "What am I to you, an ATM? Even your parents wouldn't give you this much money!"

Victor didn't get angry; he just kept grinning. "My parents are gone; who else is left in this world that is blood-related to me?"

"We're not family!" Carmella stepped back, looking at Victor with disgust and caution. "Back off or I'll report you for extortion!"

"Go ahead and report me; blow this whole thing out of proportion. I know where you live; maybe your current foster parents could come and clear things up!" Victor retorted confidently.

Carmella's face changed. "You've been following me?"

"Don't make it sound so bad; I'm just checking in on you and seeing how you're doing. How can that be considered stalking?"

Carmella shivered. "What do you want?"

"Give me 50 grand. If I have money, I won't bother you!" Victor said it nonchalantly.

Carmella immediately shook her head and said, "No way!"

She said firmly, "Although the McClain family is loaded, the money is in my parents' hands. They won't give it all to me. How am I supposed to get you 50 grand?"

Victor thought for a moment: "Surely you can scrape together 20 grand! That's the absolute minimum; otherwise, I'll go to your parents!"

Carmella gritted her teeth in anger. "Even if I gave you 200 grand, it wouldn't cover your losses!"

Victor quickly responded, "I won't gamble anymore. I'll use the money to start a business with my friends."

"Who are your friends in J City?"
