Chapter 225

Amelia's main objective in coming here was to ask for money.

Wanting to see Katherine was something that she had just made up.

After Katherine's parents had an accident, Amelia heard that she inherited a considerable amount of
insurance money from their deaths.

She wanted to ask Katherine for some money, but she kicked them out of the house, making them a
laughing stock in their village for more than ten years.

This time, if she had not heard that Katherine had opened her own company and was utterly
successful, Amelia wouldn't see Katherine for the rest of her life.She was also old now.She was here
the whole day already.

Yesterday, she took the bus for almost an entire day to come to Y City.

Her stay at the hotel cost her eighty dollars per night! Amelia wanted to take the money and leave now.

At first, she was worried that it would be too hard for her to convince Katherine what she wanted, but
she didn't expect Katherine to give in so quickly and even asked her how much she wanted.

Amelia had lived for more than seventy years, and this was the first time she saw a check with such a
huge amount.She was usually very smart and alert, but when she saw the money, she felt utterly
dumb.

When Katherine said she would give the money, she forgot everything else.

Amelia swallowed with anticipation as she pulled Carrick to the side and whispered, "How much do you
need to pay off your gambling debt?"



Carrick was also not expecting how easy it was for Katherine to give them what they wanted.

He stared at Katherine again, still dumbfounded.

The more he stared at her, the feeling of jealousy grew inside his heart.

Katherine had massive success in her business, yet she didn't even bother to help his uncle? Carrick
needed two hundred thousand dollars to pay off his gambling debt.

Initially, he wanted to say that amount, but after thinking about it, he realized that it wasn't easy for him
to have the trip regularly.

He was looking at Katherine's behavior now, and she was willing to give them money.

Who in their right mind would want to give more money the next time? After all, ten years ago, when
she was only seventeen, she was able to kick them both out of her house.

Carrick paused for a moment and whispered back, "I need four hundred thousand dollars"

"Didn't you just say two hundred thousand?" Amelia retorted.

Carrick just laughed and said sarcastically, "Oh, it's okay.She owns a huge company.Katherine can
afford it"

Carrick scratched his chin and continued, "Mom, how much do you think we should ask from her?"

"Four million dollars!" Amelia shouted.

"Four...four million dollars?" Carrick asked in pure disbelief.

Carrick had lived for more than forty years, and he had only seen four million dollars on TV! He was in
pure shock when Amelia declared it.



"Right, step aside and let me do the talking, okay?"

Amelia pushed Carrick away in disgust and looked up at Katherine, calmly saying, "We don't need
much.We only need four million dollars.After saying her demand, Amelia seemed to have thought of
something and began to cry and complain about their family's hardships.

She even complained about Katherine's two cousins who needed to buy a house in the city because
they were about to get married.

As she spoke, even the host, Zoey, felt that something was wrong.

It seemed that this old lady didn't honestly care about her granddaughter at all.

Did she even want to see her in the first place? Or did she just come here to ask for money? Upon
hearing what Amelia had just said, Katherine raised her eyebrows.

Her charming eyes sharpened, and she put her checkbook back into her bag, saying, "So you need
four million dollars…”

As she spoke, she zipped up her bag.

"Then, just wait and see if there are any kind-hearted people from the audience who would want to help
you."

Katherine pointed to her phone and smiled wickedly.

"One thing's for sure, though.I am not one of those people: Katherine then glanced at Gabrielle, who
was at her side.

"Call the security and let them out.If they still refuse to go, call the police immediately"



Katherine's face was so serious.Her smile disappeared.

Pure hatred could be seen from her usually charming eyes.

Gabrielle was stunned for a moment.

She had not yet recovered from what Katherine did.

First, showing them that she would pay them right there and then, and now, taking her checkbook back
and telling her to call the security?
