Chapter 926

Do You Have an Acknowledgment of Debt?

Helen stared at Chloe dazedly. She hadn’t expected her own sister to put the blame on her.

“Helen, you idiot! How many times have I told you not to get involved with this family? You didn’t just
ignore my words; you even gave them money without telling me about it! What are you supposed to do
now that such an accident has occurred? What are you going to do now that they’re blaming you for
this?” James roared.

“I-I didn’t give them a lot of money. They wanted to use this money for investment. But I assumed that
the money was all gone after Minerva said that her boyfriend had been scammed, and… I didn’t know
that they kept some of the money for themselves! I-I’m a victim too!” Helen cried anxiously.

When Chloe shot Minerva a glare, Minerva immediately spoke up. “Stop talking nonsense, Aunt Helen.
You were the one who gave us this money to spend. What investment and what scammer are you
talking about? I have no idea what you mean!”

Helen froze in shock. I can’t believe Minerva is telling all these lies without even batting an eyelid. “H-
How could you say such a thing, Minerva? You were the one who borrowed the money from me, and y-
you said that you wanted it for an investment. Did you forget about this? You need to be honest here,
Minerva… Don’t lie to us…” Helen uttered worriedly.

Minerva glanced at her aunt disdainfully. “I’m not lying, Aunt Helen. You gave us this money for us to
shop. I don’t know anything about investing or borrowing money from you. Since you claim that we
borrowed money from you, do you have an acknowledgment of debt?”

“I… I…” Back then, Minerva had written Helen an acknowledgment of debt, but Helen was the one who
refused to take it. Back then, Helen was certain that her niece and nephew would never lie to her. How
could she have expected her own family members to stab her in the back?



“If you could show us an acknowledgment of debt, then you would be able to prove that they had indeed
borrowed some money from you, Helen,” Jonah uttered in a deep voice. “If you can’t do that, then you
should explain yourself. Why did you give them so much money? They’re just children without any sense
of self-control—you must be trying to ruin their lives by giving them so much money at once!”

Demi couldn’t stop herself from talking. “Oh dear, this is the first time I’ve heard someone saying that
giving money equates to ruining someone’s life. Your thought processes sure are interesting, Jonah. In
that case, do you think your boss is ruining your life by paying you a salary?”



Jonah seemed to have a firm answer for everything. “It makes sense to get paid by my boss after
completing my work. But what is Helen trying to do by giving Minerva and Tate such a huge sum of
money? What were her intentions? Furthermore, I’m a grown man who has the ability to differentiate
between right and wrong. Tate and Minerva, on the other hand, are just children. Helen gave them so
much money, and they lost control and ended up in a huge mess. Isn’t it obvious that Helen should be
responsible for this?”

Demi looked like she was about to lose her temper. “You guys are so shameless! What’s wrong with my
mother being fond of them and giving them money to spend? How could you expect my mother to bear
these responsibilities?!”

“Do you think any of this would have happened if you hadn’t given us so much money?” Chloe cried.
“You need to be responsible for this, Helen!”

Helen wore a grim and uneasy expression on her face. She hadn’t expected things to turn out the way
they did.



Right then, James waved his arm exasperatedly as he spoke. “You guys can cause however much
trouble you wish to, but not in the Cunningham Family’s compounds! Get out, all of you! Immediately!
And you too, Helen! Get out with the rest of them—your sister, your niece… Get out! From now on, this
has got nothing to do with the Cunningham Family at all! If you guys show up again, I’ll get the security to
send all of you to the police station!”

Once James finished his words, he stormed off into the house without even taking one last glance at
Helen.
