Rhea was right. She, a seventeen–year–old girl, couldn’t buy that kind of medicine.
Beatrice thought for a while and suddenly thought of a possibility. She asked in disbelief. Rhea, you mean..”
Rhea immediately burst
a into tears and said breathlessly, “Matthew wasn’t the one who drugged me. I was!”
t you say it at the party that day!”
As soon as Dale heard this, he immediately became serious, “Is there such a thing? Why didn’t y
Rhea covered her eyes and sobbed, “I’m just tond, The Preston family is richer and more powerful than us. You keep telling me to please them. How dare I go against Matthew in public! I had no choice but to acquiesce.
“He tricked me into drinking with him. I was dizzy after that, and when I came to my senses, things had already turned out like that. Later, he kept threatening me, and I didn’t dare to disobey him.
Dale and Beatrice exchanged glances, never expecting the Preston family to complain first, nor did they realize that their own daughter had suffered such a great injustice. Immediately, their hearts ached for her again.
Dale’s tone also softened a lot. “Rhea, don’t cry. You should have told us earlier and let us seek justice for you.”
Beatrice was also furious. The Preston family has gone 100 fart. Rhea is such a good girl. How could she drug someone? That Matthew guy is really a snimbag! Don’t worry! Since he ruined your reputation, I will definitely find a way to get him to marry you!”
Now that Rhea had regained the affection and trust of the Harpers. They could no longer reprimand her at the thought of her precious daughter being mistreated.
Dair decided not to hide the truth and told her the 30% of shares left behind by Maybelle’s father and the reason why he had to get Maybelle back.
After listening to the whole story, Rhea suddenly understood. No wonder she clearly felt that her parents didn’t like Maybelle at all, but they chose to protect her over and over again!
Turned out that with just that bitch’s signature, the Harper family could reach the top and become a top wealthy family! At the thought of the impending fortune, Rhea had no complaints about returning the money to Maybelle.
She was touched, “So… I’m your most beloved daughter, right?”
Dale and Beatrice embraced her into their arms, “Of course. You’re our bloodline! When we get the shares, you can do whatever you want to her.

Beatrice was so excited that she rubbed her hands together. “Honey, is this true? Which business partner of yours is so generous? We have to thank him properly”
There was no guilt in Dale’s eyes at all. He replied with a smile, “It’s an old friend I’ve known for many years. Hey, why do you have so many questions? Anyway, you’re a housewife, and you don’t know much.”
Beatrice was indeed just asking casually. She only cared about when she would be able to gather that large sum of money, and she didn’t have time to care about anything else..
One day, if she knew who the “business parmer Dale mentioned was, she would be so pissed off.

The situation was much better than it was at the beginning, but 150 million was a huge sum of money for them. T drained from the inside out by the two of them. They didn’t know where they could go to get this money.
It was soon the deadline, Beatrice was not reconciled to losing her shares like this. She asked tentatively. “Why don’t we pay back this much first! Anyway, we’re only short of 150 million dollars. This money is probably nothing for that silly girl. We are her foster parents, after all. She won’t continue to be aggressive for such little money, will she?
“And we’ll play the victim with her and say something considerate to her. Maybe she’ll remember our kindness again and forgive us just like that?”
Dale fried deeply. The matter was so important that he really didn’t dare to gamble. “If we can’t pay back the money, whether we can see her is a problem”
