Chapter 26 You Are Too Confident Maybe I pulled too hard , and the back of my hand , where the needle was inserted , started to bleed . Reynaldo looked down at my hand . His handsome eyebrows furrowed . I was afraid he would get angry , so I quickly let go . Kimberly suddenly hugged Reynaldo's arm , almost leaning her whole body against him , and smiled sweetly at me. " Ms. Duffy , do you want to talk to Reynaldo ? " It's okay . Reynaldo is nice . You don't have to be afraid of him .

" Seeing Kimberly was so close to Reynaldo , I was hesitant to ask him if he would come back tonight . I was afraid it might make Kimberly unhappy . Then I wouldn't be able to borrow money , and Reynaldo might even punish me . Just as I was hesitant , Reynaldo suddenly asked me indifferently , " What's the matter ? " This was the best chance to borrow money . I wasn't sure if he would come back tonight , and once I left the hospital , I might not see him again today .

Seeing that I was silent for a long time , Reynaldo turned to leave . I hurriedly said , " Well , can you lend me some money ? " Reynaldo stopped in his tracks . Chapter 26 You Am Too Confident He turned to look at me . His deep eyes were filled with mockery . " So , it's about money , " he said with a light smile . His smile was a bit cold , even a bit sarcastic . I didn't understand this expression . I said , " I will definitely pay you back .

" He sneered and asked , "What will you pay back with ? " Seeing the coldness in his eyes , I suddenly remembered last night's dream . What he wanted most was to humiliate me , to make me suffer . I bit my lip and said , " I can pay you back with anything you want . " " Humph , " Reynaldo sneered . " You're too confident . " Yes , Reynaldo never liked me . I was too confident to believe that he would help me . A sharp pain stabbed my heart , and tears came to my eyes .

I quickly lowered my head , hiding the tears . Reynaldo coldly glanced at me , then tried to leave . Kimberly quickly stopped him . " Reynaldo , why don't you lend her some money ? After all , she is your ex - wife . She is so pitiful . " " She's pitiful ? " Reynaldo sneered . " There are so many pitiful people in this world . Do I have to give money to each one ? " The two of them got into the elevator . I watched the elevator doors close , and my vision was blurring .

Chapter 25 You Are Too Cord dent A little girl passed by and called out , " Oh my , your hand is bleeding ? You should ask the nurse to help you . " I looked at the little girl , tears streaming down my face . The little girl hurriedly comforted me , " Don't cry , miss , be strong . I'm also in the hospital alone . My parents dropped me off and left because they're busy . " I wiped my tears and smiled at her . " I'm not crying . I just need to use the restroom , but no one can help me here .

I'm a bit anxious . " " Let me help you , " the little girl said , and took the IV bag from my hand , holding it high . Looking at the little girl , I immediately forgot my sadness . Yes , there was no need to be sad . Reynaldo didn't like me , but it was not a big deal . Even if he didn't like me , the world was still wonderful . There were still many kind - hearted people to help me . I finished the IV in the evening . The effect of the IV was much better than the medicine .

I no longer felt dizzy , and I felt much better . But I was still very anxious . While I was getting the IV , my dad called me , asking if I had borrowed the money . I said I would reply later . Chapter 21 You Am Too Confident But he seemed very anxious , calling me four times later . I finally got angry and said , " If they really want to cut off your hands and feet , then I'll take your place and let them cut mine . Is that enough ? " My dad finally stopped calling .

It was already in the evening . How was I going to get the money ? Besides Reynaldo , who else could I ask ? But Reynaldo also refused to lend me money . What should I do ? I crouched by the roadside , calling everyone in my contacts who might lend me money . I pleaded with them as Quentin did , asking them to lend me some money . But no one was willing , and they even mocked me . When I called Vonnie , she was at the hospital with her mom .

She told me that her mom was seriously ill and needed a lot of money for treatment , She asked her dad , but he refused . Vonnie was crying as she spoke . Seeing her in such a difficult situation , I couldn't ask her for help . I comforted Vonnie for a while , telling her to take care of herself and her mom , and then hung up . I looked up at the sky , tears falling from the corners of my eyes . Chapter 26 You Are Too Confident It seemed everyone had their own troubles .

I sat helplessly by the roadside for a while before heading back to the villa . Madisyn prepared dinner and hurriedly called me to eat when she saw me come back . But I wasn't hungry at all . I was exhausted and came back to my room . I leaned against the door , crying helplessly . Then Quentin called me . I quickly wiped my tears and answered the phone , " Quentin . " Quentin asked anxiously , " Do you get the money ? It's already the third day .

" I didn't want him to worry about this , so I pretended to be easy and said , " Don't worry. I've already borrowed the money . " Quentin was surprised . " How did you borrow it ? " After a moment of silence , he suddenly realized . " It's from Reynaldo , right ? " I didn't say anything , and he continued , " Well , 500 thousand dollars means nothing to him . He will definitely help you if you ask . He is more generous than we thought .

" So , Quentin didn't know that my dad had another 800 - thousand - dollar debt . Of course , my dad definitely wouldn't dare to tell Quentin . Chapter 25 You Are Too Confident I guessed my dad didn't even know that Quentin was in the hospital . Quentin continued , " Anyway , although Reynaldo is very rich , we must pay him back later . " " Yeah , I know , " I said with a smile . " Quentin , don't worry . Take care of yourself . I'll come to see you tomorrow . " " Okay .

" After hanging up , I leaned against the door and didn't move . Soon , my mom called me . As soon as I answered , my mom cried , " Ralda , can you borrow that money ? You can't let them cut off your dad's hands and feet . " Ralda , you have to find a way. " " Yes , Ralda , " my dad grabbed the phone and said , " You should plead Reynaldo . If he's happy , he will definitely give you the money . 3 million dollars is nothing to him . " I closed my eyes .

I felt too exhausted to even talk with my dad . My parents started arguing again . My mom said , " It's all your fault . You've made the whole family anxious . If you gamble again , I'll divorce you ! " Then my dad called out , " Why do you always blame me ? I also worked so hard to make money for the whole family before . Did you forget about that ? " My mom said , " What money did you make before ?

That's … " " Alright , alright , the most important thing now is to raise the money , " my Chapter 26 You Are Top Confident dad interrupted her . Then he asked me , " Ralda , when will you get the money ? I'm really scared . " I closed my eyes , feeling drained , and said , " Before midnight . " If I didn't get the money by midnight , I'd go to those people at the casino and let them cut off my hands and feet .
