Kyleigh came here this time just to ask for money. She did not want to meet Scarlett at all. That was just a pretext.
After Scarlett's parents' accident, Kyleigh heard that Scarlett's parents had bought accident insurance and Scarlett got substantial compensation. She came to Scarlett and wanted to get some money, but Scarlett kicked her out directly with a broom. As a result, Kyleigh was laughed at by everyone in the village for more than ten years.
If she had not heard Scarlett founded her own company and became rich, Kyleigh would never be willing to see Scarlett again for the rest of her life.
Kyleigh was also older now. She had been so tired after waiting here all day. Yesterday, it took her a whole day to come to Juanton City by bus. And she had to pay eighty dollars every night for her hotel room!
Kyleigh wanted to get the money and leave right now. She had been worried that it would take a long time, but Scarlett was so smart that she asked Kyleigh directly how much money she wanted.
Kyleigh had lived for more than 70 years. This was the first time she had ever seen a check.
She was usually quite shrewd, but once she saw money, she was not shrewd anymore.
When Scarlett mentioned money, Kyleigh only thought of Rocco's debts. Kyleigh swallowed and whispered to Rocco, "How many gambling debts do you have?"
Rocco also did not expect Scarlett would give them money as soon as they asked for it. He took another look at Scarlett.
Well, the more he looked at Scarlett, the more jealous h e felt.
His niece had become so rich, but she had never helped him!
Rocco owed more than 200,000 dollars in gambling debts. He was going to blurt out this figure, but he realized that it was not easy for him to come here and that Scarlett seemed to never give him money again next time. After all, ten years ago, when she was only seventeen years old, she dared to kick them away with a broom.
Rocco paused for a moment and replied, "400,000 dollars!"
Kyleigh spat. "Didn't you tell me it was 200,000?"
As she said, she laughed and scolded, "Don't be such a coward. Look at Scarlett. The bitch has such a big company. Do you think she can only afford 400,000 dollars?"
