Entangled with My Cousin's Fiancé-Chapter 200 I Understand My Own Crop Very Well
After Yolanda Greenwood lay down, the tears breached their dam in an instant.
The words Melissa Greenwood had just said cycled continuously in her mind, as if everyone around her suffered because of her.
It turned out that the person who deserved to die had always been her.
She didn’t know what she had done wrong, nor did she know what she could still do.
The effects of the sleeping pills came quickly; she fell asleep in a daze, but her mind seemed to stay awake.
She seemed to be asleep, yet it was as if she wasn’t.
The next day, Yolanda looked even worse; her complexion was ashen, and her eyes had lost all their light.
"What’s happening?" Lola Gold was frantic, "When is Adam Sterling coming back?"
"Probably around noon," Noah Coldson was also anxious, "I’ll send him a message later and hurry him up."
The two stood at the door, feeling that Yolanda inside the sickroom was like an old person at the end of their days, yet she was clearly in her twenties.
"It must have been something Melissa Greenwood said yesterday, that bitch, may she die a horrible death," Lola couldn’t help but curse.
"Go in and keep her company, talk to her," Noah Coldson patted Lola’s shoulder, now they had to stay strong and walk this journey with Yolanda.
Yolanda greeted them with a faint smile when they entered.
At noon, Adam Sterling finally returned.
Lola informed Adam of Yolanda’s condition, "What should we do? What else can we do?"
"I’ll go talk to her," Adam said as he entered the sickroom.
As soon as he entered, he smiled, "Good news, that kid confessed."
Yolanda frowned, not seeming to catch on immediately to what Adam was referring to.
Adam knew this was also a symptom of depression patients, so he sat by the bed, smiling as he reminded her, "The one who hurt your dad."
"What about him?" Yolanda visibly tensed up.
Adam breathed a sigh of relief.
If anyone else had gone through Yolanda’s experiences, they might have died hundreds of times over.
But this woman, who seemed so small and weak, always had love in her heart, always cared for others.
That’s why she could stand up time and time again.
"Somebody set him up, and the police have already sent someone; there should be a conclusion very soon," Adam said happily.
"That’s good, that’s really good," Yolanda’s face faintly showed signs of life.
When Lola Gold and Noah Coldson saw this, they smiled at each other and also let out breaths of relief.
At the same time, Melissa Greenwood got the news too; the guy who was caught had turned traitor, and she was advised to think quickly about how to save herself.
She knew she couldn’t completely trust Eliana Reed, the fool, but fortunately, she had made arrangements with the other side.
After much consideration, it was a relief that it had always been Eliana Reed who contacted those people; as long as she could find a way to pin all the blame on Eliana alone, she would be fine.
She hurried to meet Eliana.
At this time, Eliana Reed was sipping red wine, obviously knowing nothing.
"Mom, I keep feeling like something bad is going to happen," Melissa tested her.
"What’s wrong?" Eliana was clueless, "Don’t worry, those people are professionals; they won’t trouble us again after they received the money." 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚
Melissa asked her, "Have you ever mentioned to them that there’s someone else involved?"
"No," Eliana shook her head, "Melissa, what’s gotten into you? They are paid professionals, and that guy is locked up; there shouldn’t be any problems."
Melissa nodded, "But what if that guy betrays you?"
"Melissa?" Eliana became anxious, "You’re not scaring me, are you? Has something happened?"
"Nothing, just hypothetically speaking," Melissa tugged at the corner of her mouth, "If they rat you out, you wouldn’t rat me out too, right?"
Eliana Reed furrowed her brow, suspicion already taking root in her mind.
Melissa continued to deceive her, "Mom, if by chance something happens, we can’t both end up inside; otherwise, who would be out here pulling strings for us?"
"Mom, if you end up in jail, I’ll definitely find a way to get you out, but if I end up in there too, then all hope is lost."
"Melissa, something’s happened, hasn’t it?" Eliana Reed was on high alert at this point, with the matter involving jail, she wouldn’t be so foolish.
Melissa knew she couldn’t keep it a secret any longer, especially since the police might come looking for her soon.
"Mom, they say a psychologist at the station managed to pry open that kid’s mouth, and he’s turned traitor."
"What?" Eliana stood up in shock, "Turned traitor? How could this happen?"
Melissa nodded, "The people you contacted will probably be caught soon and then..."
"It’s over, all over," Eliana Reed’s soul almost fled in terror, "I’ll have to go to jail too, I won’t be able to escape..."
"Mom, don’t worry, I’ll find a way to get you out," Melissa said sincerely.
But who would have thought Eliana Reed would shrug her off, "Get me out? You’re fooling ghosts? I bet once I’m in there, you’d do everything possible to dissociate from me, and you might even wish I’d die inside."
"How could that be? You’re my mother, why would I harm you?" Melissa was desperate enough to cry.
Eliana Reed scoffed coldly, "Don’t try to fool me with those words, I know my own kind; I know what you’re thinking."
She had to run, "Give me ten million right now, I need to leave Gray City, no, I need to leave the country."
"Ten million?" Melissa suppressed the anger in her heart, "Mom, we’ve just managed to put together ten million, where would we get another ten million?"
"I don’t care, you must give me ten million, otherwise, forget about marrying into the Coldson Family and go stay in prison with me."
Melissa bit her lip and said nothing.
"Melissa Greenwood, you should still have a conscience; if it weren’t for me, could you have become the daughter of the Patriarch of the Greenwood Family?"
Eliana Reed went on in a panic, "Do you know how much gambling debt your deadbeat father owed?"
"You’ve been the daughter of Patriarch Greenwood for over twenty years, enjoyed the blessings for over twenty years; it’s time to show some filial piety."
"Ten million, get it together right now."
"Mom, calm down, don’t you know how good you’ve been to me?" Melissa sighed deeply, "I just didn’t expect you to have no faith in me."
"Faith in you?" Eliana Reed let out a cold laugh, "I don’t even trust myself, we’re both foxes of the same hill; don’t play these games, hurry up and get the money; nothing else matters."
"Alright, mom, don’t worry, I can put the money together quickly; I’ll sell the house," Melissa reached out to pull Eliana Reed, "You sit down first. Once you have the money, you need to get out fast, understand?"
Eliana Reed hesitated, then nodded.
Melissa further instructed her, "Never come back here, when you run out of money, contact me again; I’ll find a way to give you more."
"You... really?" Eliana Reed dared not believe it.
As a result, Melissa embraced her, "Mom, it’s just that we might never see each other again, take good care of yourself, understand?"
Hearing this, Eliana Reed’s eyes also turned red, "You too, take good care of yourself."
"Mom, let me toast you one last time." Melissa let go of Eliana Reed and picked up the red wine from the table, "I hope in the future, both of us will thrive and prosper."
