"The chauffeur whom sir arranged for you, madam," Sue replied. "Wherever you want to go in the future, you can just call the chauffeur and he'll pick you up, madam."
"I see." Yvonne took her phone and saved the number while asking, "Why are you the one giving it to me though, Sue?"
"It was supposed to be Joe, but you went out, so he asked me to pass it to you," Sue explained.
Yvonne made an "Oh" in realization. "Okay, I've saved the number."
"Go and rest then, madam. I'll be cooking in the kitchen and I'll call for you when I'm done," Sue said and got up to head to said part of the house.
Yvonne rapped her slightly stiff shoulders and turned on the television. Not too long into watching it, her phone rang. She turned to glance at it, seeing the words Jason Frey blinking back at her on the screen. For a moment, Yvonne felt her temples throbbing with the flickering words.
He was not done yet - he was here to ask her for money again.
It had been three continuous days. She was tired of it even if he could keep it up. 1
Sighing, Yvonne picked up her phone, mentally exhausted, and put it next to her ear after a swipe at the screen. "Jason, you..."
Before she could finish, Jason’s raging growl was heard. "Yvonne Frey, are you happy now?"
"What?” Yvonne's frown was locked tight and deep. " What are you saying? What do you mean am I happy now?"
"My child’s gone. Amy aborted it. You're happy now, aren’t you?" Jason questioned her loudly.
Yvonne had no idea who Amy was, but when he said that his child was gone, she could guess as much. It was probably the girl who was going to marry him. The girl actually aborted the baby!
Yvonne sprang up in shock, panicking. "Jason, you're saying she aborted the baby?"
"Yes," Jason spat through gritted teeth.
Blood drained from Yvonne's face. "How - how..."
"How?" Jason’s chuckle was low and sinister. "Aren't you the one who caused this?"
"Me?" Yvonne was bewildered.
Jason clenched his fists. "Yes. Because you refuse to give us money, and that’s why Amy didn’t want to marry me and aborted the baby. Mom told you then that Amy was going to abort the baby if we had no money, but you said to do it if she wants to. Amy did it
now, and you're happy huh?"
Yvonne stumbled at that, taking the blow to heart. "I-I didn't know. It wasn't on purpose. I was just saying it out of anger. I didn’t know that she'd do it."
She did say what she did, but it was really out of her rage. From how she saw it, it was just one of the many excuses her mother was using to ask money from her, so she did not think that the girl would actually abort the baby.
Now, however...
"Out of anger?" Jason’s laughter was frenzied. "Out of anger. I've lost my baby because of your words out of anger. Yvonne Frey, everything's happened because of you. How could you be so vile?"
Vile?
Yvonne felt a pang in her heart, her breathing quickened.
She was vile?
How was she vile when she just did not want to give them money?
Receiving no reply, Jason grew bolder assuming that Yvonne felt guilty. "Yvonne Frey, I’ll hold you to this for life. Just you wait, I won’t let it pass so easily.” 1
