Lingering Doting Marriage: Big Boss, Little Sweet Heart

Chapter 554: Did Miranda Lewis Encounter Trouble in a Blink of an Eye?

“Dinglingling…” The cell phone on the table suddenly vibrated.

Enna Clark picked up the phone and frowned at the screen. After some hesitation, she answered the call. “Hello.”

“Enna, help me!” Michelle Lewis’ voice came through the earpiece. “Enna, where are you now? Can you help me, please?”

“I’m abroad.”

“Where?” Michelle Lewis pressed.

Enna only wanted to ask Baron Lawrence about the conversation she had just overheard and had no interest in dealing with anything else. “Yluria Country.”

“Is your rich boyfriend with you?” Michelle Lewis didn’t know who Enna’s wealthy boyfriend was, but seeing Jasmine Clark’s current miserable situation, she could guess that her “boyfriend’s” influence was significant. She anxiously said, “Enna, you must help me this time. Your cousin is in trouble!”

Is Miranda Lewis in trouble?

She had encountered Miranda in the hotel lobby half an hour earlier, and Miranda had boasted about her boyfriend at the time…

“You know your cousin studied at the University in Yluria Country. After finishing her studies, she got a job there and met her boyfriend, a foreigner named Andy Pann. She told me he was a manager of some company and treated her well. I agreed to their relationship. But then someone called me just now, saying that your cousin and her boyfriend are both in trouble in the casino town. Her boyfriend is not a manager at all but an underling of some minor boss in the casino. He and your cousin tampered with the casino’s accounts, and now they’ve been found out by the casino’s boss. Now they are threatening to cut off your cousin’s hands!”

Michelle Lewis seemed genuinely worried this time; she spoke rapidly and nervously, her voice breaking into tears as if she had nowhere else to turn.

“Enna, your boyfriend is powerful and influential; even that scum Jacob Clark cannot provoke him. He must know people in Yluria Country too. Can you ask him to help your cousin?”

Enna Clark tightened her lips and coldly retorted, “Miranda brought this trouble on herself by trying to steal other people’s money. How do you expect me to help her?”

“Your cousin didn’t use the money she stole; it’s all hidden in a safe. We can give the money back to them. You just need to ask your boyfriend to get your cousin out of there. She’s my only daughter, and she’s still young. If her hands are really cut off and she becomes disabled, her whole life will be ruined.”

Enna Clark felt no sympathy and said emotionlessly, “If her life is ruined, it’s ruined. She brought it on herself, and she must accept the consequences.”

Michelle Lewis hadn’t expected her to say that and shrieked, “Enna, how can you talk like that? How can your heart be so cold? That’s your cousin, your blood cousin!”

Enna couldn’t take it any longer and gripped her phone tightly as she questioned her, “If I’m cold-hearted, what about you? You knew exactly what Jacob Clark and Juliet Jordan did to my mom, but did you call the police? Did you tell me? No! All you’ve done from the beginning to the end is threaten Jasmine for money!”

“Enna, listen to me, let me explain…” Before Michelle could think of a good reason,

Enna interrupted her, “I have no interest in hearing one lie after another!”

Her face tired, she continued, “Auntie, you know very well how much I’ve gotten for you and helped you over the years. You should know how you’ve treated me. I don’t hold it against you because you’re my mother’s sister and for my Grandpa’s sake. But your repeated taking advantage of me is not a bargaining chip. I won’t help you this time.”
